Free Netflix Hacks And Streaming Services To Keep Your Family Entertained

We’ll show you how with some no-cost streaming services, plus some hacks that could help you enjoy Netflix for free.

As you look at your monthly expenses, you probably noticed something: The cost of everything is going up, including gas, food, and even Netflix.

While Netflix’s price hikes have more to do with its popularity and expanding catalog of original content, the fact that your dollar buys less is a cause for worry. And with that worry, you’ll need to find ways to cut costs so you can pay your rent, car, etc.

Entertainment is one area where we tend to cut costs first. For example, you may vow to eat out or go out less often. Or you may say that going to the movies is off-limits.

What does that leave you with? Entertaining yourself at home via services like Netflix. But since such services can put a dent in your budget as well, follow these tips to make Netflix free, or simply use these alternatives that won’t cost you a penny.

Free Streaming Services

Cutting the cord is at an all-time high as people look to pay less for entertainment. Add in all of the free options at your disposal, and you can cut cable while still keeping your entire family entertained.

Here are some of the most popular free streaming services around. To access their content, you’ll usually have to create an account and put up with advertisements, which isn’t too bad since you already do that with regular TV.

1. YouTube
2. Pluto TV
3. Vudu
4. Tubi
5. IMDb TV
6. Crackle
7. The Roku Channel
8. Xumo
9. FilmRise
10. PopcornFlix

Using any combo of those free streaming services will give you more than enough content to the point that you can cut the cord and avoid paying for a Netflix subscription. But if you really want to see some of Netflix’s original content, here are some tips that could land you a free trial or account.

How to Make Netflix More Affordable

1. Get a free month of DVD service – Getting a free trial to Netflix’s streaming service used to be incredibly easy. Now, however, the only free trial that exists is for the company’s DVD rental service.
2. With it, you can look forward to 30 days of unlimited DVD rentals shipped to your door, which isn’t bad when you consider that you can use that month to binge as many new releases as possible.
3. Get help from a friend or family member – The easiest way to get free Netflix is to share a friend or family member’s existing login. If they say no, ask to split the cost.
4. Sign up for a new cell phone or Internet plan – Some companies tack on free Netflix to their plans to entice new cell phone or Internet customers. T-Mobile is just one example.
5. Use a digital coupon – Visit RetailMeNot.com, Slickdeals.net, or Coupons.com to look for Netflix coupon codes. You could also do a Google search to find promo codes that can lower the cost of a subscription.
