Thanks for reading and supporting, Sarah. Well… here in the Science Duuude household, we share your economical genes!! Many decades ago even before the kids (so we can’t blame them for our economizing), we booted cable. It was because of cable companies’ toxic combination of high cost and poor customer service. So when Netflix came around, we gave them a shot — this was back when they still mailed out the red-enveloped DVDs. And when they started streaming, we tried that out too. We were never the first, but within a couple years of their service starting we’d give it a try. But we’ve stuck with them ever since.
