There may be no such thing as a free lunch, but a number of big-name subscription service providers are offering extended free trials to get customers to take their services for a spin. In this case, the lunch is totally free, assuming you remember to cancel your subscription before the trial period ends. And who knows — you may even like the service so much you’ll consider staying on as a paying customer!
After all, that’s the whole point of the free trial in the first place.
Here’s a look at nine services offering at least a one-month free trial.

Amazon.com, Inc. AMZN 0.29% has made an aggressive push into video streaming to establish itself as a legitimate competitor to Netflix. After a one moth free trial, (six months for students), a monthly subscription to Prime Video will cost you $8.99 per month.

Want to learn more about how to profit off the stock market? Or maybe you just want to be able to look sophisticated in front of your coworkers when they ask you what you are reading on your Kindle, and you’d prefer to tell them “Oh, I’m just reading a book about stock market analysis,” rather than the usual “Oh, I’m just looking at pics of my ex-girlfriend on Facebook.” For these reasons and more, check out my book, Beating Wall Street with Common Sense. I don’t have a degree in finance; I have a degree in neuroscience. You don’t have to predict what stocks will do if you can predict what traders will do and be one step ahead of them. I made a 400% return in the stock market over five years using only basic principles of psychology and common sense. Beating Wall Street with Common Sense is now available on Amazon, and tradingcommonsense.com is always available on your local internet!
