Days are shorter, you’re paying over the odds on your energy bill and everything is expensive, so when cheap thrills like the best Black Friday streaming deals come around, grab them with both hands.
The rising cost of living has forced households to ditch streaming services like Netflix, Amazon Prime and Disney Plus.
The Office of National Statistics reveals over half of Brits are spending less on non-essentials, and as a result, half a million households in the UK have ditched a streaming service this year, Kantar reports.
But with Black Friday sales already up and running, you can treat yourself without breaking the bank with the best Black Friday streaming deals, with some for under £1.
