Surely I would have never thought of this because I would not find myself at the movie theater. So in a sense I would get blinded by my own behaviors and never think to recommend that people lkeep HBO to save on going to the movies or renting flix. Good point and further motivation to myself to try and put myself in others shoes more often! MLR I love seeing alternate financial advice!

Netflix might be a cheaper option for you to have movies at home but only spend $15 a month or so. My wife and I also find that certain times of the year we can do without extra movie channels easier than others. During football season we spend more time watching football and less time on movies. Also, in the spring we are less inclined to be inside watching movies and will end up spending more on outdoor activities whether we have premium cable or not. (A side benefit of canceling your channels is that providers often will give you free time when you sign back up.) I love these kind of counter intuitive ideas.

A lot of it is, "this is what works for me" advice, not necessary, "this is what will work for all people". If you need to spend $30/month to save $280, then obviously that's the better choice for you. For some people, they can cut out the movies and be content with the TV instead of watch a film on HBO or at the theater. As for me, my fiancee gets free movies at the theater and we still don't even go that often. I think all financial advice – especially from us bloggers, has to be taken with a grain of salt.
