Always check your subscriptions

So I went onto Amazon the other day to order something, and also see if my gift card balance needed topping up, and I noted two unexpected payments in the recent past. One for £10.99 in April and the other for £11.99 in May. Both to Amazon Music. Then I remembered that a while back I'd taken out a free trial of Amazon Music. If I remember right, I was hoping to find audio books to help me learn Japanese, but I didn't have any luck. So I never really used it, and I meant ot cancel it before it got to the end of the free trial period. Of course, I forgot. Shameful, and I'm supposed to be Mr Frugal these days. Obviously I've cancelled the subscription now, but I've learned a lesson for the future. Always keep a note of when free trials are going to expire and make sure you act before you end up paying for stuff you don't neccessarily want.
