Streaming services have basically come full circle: What started as a cheap alternative to cable TV has become an expensive monthly cost in its own right, as price hikes and crackdowns on password sharing have made subscribing to multiple streaming services just as expensive, if not more so, than some conventional cable plans.
Luckily, there are often discounts, deals, and loopholes to exploit that can make streaming more affordable-and sometimes even free. Here are the best streaming deals you can get right now.
