My impulse buy on a 'smart' grocery app cost me $50 in hidden fees

I signed up for a free trial that automatically renewed and charged me for a premium plan I never used. Has anyone else gotten burned by subscription services that seem helpful for budgeting but actually make it worse?

Ugh, that's the worst! Honestly, I got hit with something just like that from a meal kit app last year. Tbh, the only thing that finally worked was calling my bank directly and asking them to block any future charges from that company. It was a pain, but they reversed the fee for me. Now I set a phone reminder for two days before any free trial ends so I can cancel.

Did the bank give you any pushback?
