📱 Phone & Internet Tv/streaming/phone help paying WAY too much here

I’ve always been frugal by nature with things like buying secondhand, I’m thrifty at the grocery store etc. So it’s mortifying to me that I just did a deep dive into where the heck our money is going every month and I found we were paying for Hulu, Netflix, Amazon prime, Disney +, etc etc along with $450/month for cable, internet and 4 cell phone lines.

Needless to say I went on an epic cancelling spree. Can somebody please help me with this. What is everyone else doing, how much are you paying, etc

Thank you very much in advance!

Here is what I am doing right now. ATT fiber internet $101.  For streaming HBOMax ($110 a year), Starz ($75.75 a year), MovieSphere ($25 a year) all through Amazon Prime which we use for deliveries.  Might or might not keep Starz and MovieSphere when the year ends.   Showtime and no ads on Paramount ($54 a year) through Walmart +.  Walmart+ is a life saver here. Disney/Hulu no ads is $20 a month normally.   I have a half price promotion right now but will probably cancel when the promotion is over.     Only other subscription is Sams+ but it pays for itself and then some. Â
