Free doesnβt always mean free.
Donβt let a trial turn into a trap! 
This is how it works:
You sign up for a βfree trialβ that promises to only charge shipping or a small fee
In the fine print, youβre automatically enrolled in a costly monthly subscription.
Canceling can be nearly impossible β and those charges add up fast.
How to protect yourself:
Always read the fine print before signing up.
Use trusted providers β if youβve never heard of the company, do your research first.
Set a reminder to cancel before the trial ends.
Consider using a separate card or payment method just for trial offers.
