What they did
She uploaded PDF statements after removing identifying details. Claude distinguished recurring charges from one-off spending, identified an unused membership and highlighted a storage-price increase.
How it went
She reports canceling an $8 monthly membership and negotiating a six-month freeze of the storage-rate increase.
Worth knowing
She negotiated with the storage company herself. The headline annual saving is an estimate, while the reported rate freeze lasted six months.
