UPDATE: Jan. 17, 2024, 8:55 AM EST This post has been updated with the latest streaming deals and streaming service bundles.

Streaming services have become a modern cultural staple: we build them into our monthly bills alongside rent and electricity. However, there are always loopholes to get out of paying full price for the top apps. If you've had your eye on a particular streaming service, see if this week's best streaming deals are the incentive you've been waiting for.

Our top pick

Paramount+ with Showtime one-month trial

Why we like it

In the next month, the Grammys will air on Feb. 4 and the biggest football game of the year on Feb. 11. Seems like the perfect day to lock in a 30-day free trial of a streaming service that'll let you watch both live. You can do exactly that by using the coupon code BUTTERS when you sign up for a month of Paramount+ with Showtime, saving you $12 — just make sure you lock in these savings before Jan. 20, when this coupon code expires. You can also pad out your month of free viewing by checking out old(er) favorites like Everything Everywhere All At Once and Yellowjackets.
