Hulu is the app you’ve known and loved for years. It has tons of awesome content on it, mostly from Fox and Disney. There are several ways of getting Hulu, including bundling it with Disney+, but if you just want the standard Hulu, this is the best way to grab it. Right now you can get a year of Hulu with ads for only $2 per month. This deal is only live this weekend. It bills all at once, so you’re basically getting a year of Hulu for $24. That’s a lot cheaper than the standard price of $8 per month, or $96 per year. Grab it today and start watching the best shows on Hulu.

Sling TV Blue — $20 for the first month

Sling TV is here to help you customize your cable plan. Back in the days of basic cable, we all wished we could pay a smaller monthly bill and just get the 10 channels we wanted, but instead we paid for 800 others that we never watched. Sling is the answer to that. Right now Sling Blue available for only $20 for your first month. It’ll be $35 per month after that, so the discount is a nice incentive to check out the service. Sling Blue is primarily focused on news and entertainment, and includes 41 channels. If think you might want a more sports-focused package, you should compare Sling Red vs Sling Blue.

Kindle Unlimited — 3 months for $1

Kindle Unlimited puts the library of Alexandria at your fingertips (or more accurately, the library of Alexa; get it?). It’s an Amazon service that lets you virtually check out up to 10 books at a time. There are well over a million books available, but it’s from a selection that Amazon has the rights to. That means a lot of them are indie or self published. You can also take advantage of magazine subscriptions, like Good Housekeeping and Women’s Health. You’ll need a Kindle, so make sure to check out the best Kindle Black Friday deals too.

Audible — 60% off for 4 months

Audible is a subscription service from Amazon that gives you access to practically every audiobook ever made. It’s not exactly a free library though. You get one free book per month, and you get discounts on most other purchases you make once you run out of credits. Right now you can get the service for $6 for your first four months. During that time you’ll get your free book every month, plus 30% off all other titles you buy. If you end up cancelling your subscription at any point, you get to keep all the books you bought and listen to them as many times as you want. They’re yours for life even without the subscription.

    Fubo free trial: Stream live sports for free for a week

    There are a lot of excellent TV streaming services if you don't want to deal with getting online and would prefer to deal with more traditional cable television that you connect with a coaxial cable. One such option is Fubo, which has an absolute ton of channels and shows that you can watch at your leisure. That's especially true if you're a big fan of sports, as Fubo often has a lot of sports channels or exclusive access to stream international sports. Of course, that does mean that Fubo is a bit on the expensive side, but luckily, you can check out Fubo as a service without paying a penny.

    To that end, we've collected all the information below on the Fubo free trial and Fubo in general, so be sure to read through so you can make an informed decision before spending your money.

    With such a huge variety of streaming services to chose from, it's easy to get overwhelmed. There are options focused on prestige TV, or movies, or original series, and just about any other type of TV you can name. But if you love reality TV and shows focused on cooking or home improvement, then the service you might be most interested in is Discovery Plus. The service has had a rocky history recently and last year it raised its prices, but you can still get a free seven-day trial of the service to decide if you want to fork out for a regular subscription.
    Is there a Discovery Plus free trial?

    There is a Discovery Plus free trial, and if things like a Disney Plus free trial and a Peacock TV free trial are of interest to you, it’s worth pouncing on. The Discovery Plus free trial does consist of signing up for the paid service, at which point you’re given seven days of free access to the entire Discovery Plus library of content. You have the full seven days to enjoy all of the Discovery Plus content you like, and you can cancel with no financial commitment within those seven days. If you don’t cancel within those seven days, your credit card will be billed $4.99 per month or $8.99 per month, depending on which Discovery Plus tier you choose at signup.

    Best OnePlus Open deals: Save $200+ on the foldable phone
    YouTube Shorts and Instagram running simultenously on OnePlus Open held in hands.

    When the first foldable phone came out, the original Samsung Galaxy Fold, which didn't even have a Z in the name yet, a lot of people wrote it off as a massive gimmick that nobody would care for, and the high price certainly didn't help. Instead, the Galaxy Fold ushered in the era of folding phones, with almost all the big brands trying to get into the game with resounding success since bigger screens mean more functionality and the folding part means they don't take up as much space. One of the latest brands to release a folding phone is OnePlus, and they've done a pretty good job with the OnePlus Open, giving you an excellent option if you don't necessarily want to go with Samsung and yet still get something with a solid ecosystem. Luckily, there are a lot of excellent deals you can take advantage of if you want to grab one, from direct discounts to trade-in offers, we've collected our favorites below.
