Step 1: Accepting the Inevitable
First things first, admit it. You've succumbed to the siren song of one-click purchases.

QuickTip: Scan quickly, then go deeper where needed.
Step 2: The Great Google Play App Debacle

It's here, amidst the digital receipts and forgotten subscriptions, that your credit card lurks.
