It’s been a long time since I’ve paid for cable or satellite. My husband and I have been using our Roku device along with paid and free TV apps to stream our favorite shows and movies for years. It’s unbelievably easy to watch TV without cable!

But even the cost of those subscription services like Netflix, Hulu, Prime Video, and the like can add up. It’s worth taking a look at the free TV apps out there to help trim your budget even further.

Yes, you might have to sit through some ad breaks and commercials, but you can save hundreds of dollars each year by utilizing these free TV apps instead. (And if you use the commercial breaks to do some sit-ups, think of how awesome your abs will be!)

You’ll just need an internet connection and a way to stream the apps on your TV, like a smart TV or streaming device. These apps are super simple to set up, and most don’t even require you to have an account. They’re all perfectly legal, too.

Free TV Apps

Don’t shell out beaucoup bucks each month paying for cable or satellite, or even a bunch of different streaming channels. There are plenty of free TV apps out available that provide a variety of content for all ages and interests.

1. YouTube

Anything that you can watch on YouTube can also be streamed to your TV. It’s super simple with the YouTube app!

I often call YouTube a black hole, because there is so much content available on there – for FREE! You can even find full-length movies and television shows on there. There’s enough to make the whole family happy.

Log in to your YouTube account to access your subscribed channels, watch and search history, and the like. Otherwise, you can use the guest account to keep it separate from your regular account.

My husband likes to watch his favorite fishing shows via YouTube, and my son watches other kids playing Minecraft. (How that’s interesting, I’ll never know.)

The app is very easy to use and understand. There are ads, just like “normal” YouTube, but they’re not that bad and you can usually skip them quickly.

What’s a Good Price for a Turkey (Per Pound)?

What’s a Good Price for a Turkey?

Update October 2020: We’ll continue to track prices for your Thanksgiving or Christmas turkey in 2020! Here’s our prediction for a good price for a turkey in 2020.

As in years past, this year I’ll be tracking the current best prices of turkeys at local grocery stores. This is a topic I’ve spent a fair amount of time and effort compiling and my goal is to help you save big on what may well be the biggest dinner you’ll prepare this year!

I wanted to start by updating you on some general information on finding the best deal on a turkey for 2020, as well as provide some past prices. There are a few factors to consider when looking for the right turkey deal for you:

Most stores require a grocery purchase for the best turkey price.

When looking at where to buy your turkey, consider first where you do the bulk of your shopping. Most stores are offering a solid discount on a turkey, but only if you spend money on additional groceries in the store.

For instance, last year both Fred Meyer and QFC offered a fantastic price – $0.49 per pound, but it required a minimum $50 grocery purchase. We usually also see stores offer a FREE turkey, but typically only with a grocery purchase of $100-$150.

If you are already planning to spend roughly that amount for your groceries, this is obviously a fantastic deal. However, I generally avoid making random purchases to meet a high threshold as that will ultimately negate your turkey savings.

Obviously, the less you have to pay to get the deal, the better. Some stores even include the turkey as part of the grocery purchase, and some stores use the price before any coupons are deducted as the minimum. Make sure you understand the fine print of the offer as it’s likely to vary from store to store.

10/14/20 Laura Wales

Disclosure: the post below may contain affiliate links. When you make a purchase or take action using these links, the site makes commission. For more information, please see my Disclosure Policy.

Amazon Prime Day continues through today! Here are 5 more great deals that have popped up since my post yesterday on the Top 5 Amazon Prime Day 2020 Deals. (Still be sure to check that post out, as most of those deals are still available!)

#1 – Revlon One-Step Hair Dryer & Volumizer – $29.39 (reg. $59.99)
Amazon.com Price: $29.39 (as of 10/14/2020 05:30 PDT – Details)

I’ve been eyeing this one for a while…it blow dries your hair while you’re styling it. Great for people who have a lot of hair (raising my hand here) and/or who don’t have a lot of time and need a 2-in-1 solution (also me). This is the lowest price it’s EVER been!

#2 – MyQ Smart Garage Door Opener – $16.98 (reg. $39.98)
Amazon.com Price: $16.98 (as of 10/14/2020 05:30 PDT – Details)

Ever worried that you forgot to close your garage door? Now you don’t have to be within range to open or close it – you can use this nifty device to access control from your smartphone!

MyQ has also partnered with Amazon Key so Amazon’s drivers can delivery your packages inside your garage, if you so choose. (No more porch pirates!) Use the coupon code KEY30 at checkout when placing your first In-Garage Delivery to receive a $30 Amazon credit on future deliveries.

#3 – Frito-Lay Party Mix 40-Count Variety Pack – as low as $9.34 (reg. $16.98)
Amazon.com Price: $16.98 (as of 10/14/2020 05:30 PDT – Details)
Clip 30% off coupon
Use Subscribe & Save to get an extra 5 – 15% off
Bottom line: as low as $9.34 (23¢/pack)

I grabbed this deal myself yesterday when I was updating our list of the Best Amazon Subscribe and Save Deals. (There are a bunch of Prime Day deals in that list, by the way!) This works out to as low as 23¢/pack, and you get a wide variety of crunchy snacks with this offer.

#4 – Poké Ball Plus – $19.99 (reg. $49)
Amazon.com Price: $19.99 (as of 10/14/2020 05:30 PDT – Details)

This would make a fantastic gift for a Pokémon fan. (I’ve got a few of those in my home!) Feel like a real Pokémon Trainer!

It’s a Nintendo Switch accessory that works as a Joy-Con controller with Pokémon: Let’s Go, Pikachu! and Pokémon: Let’s Go, Eevee!. You can also use it when playing Pokémon GO on a compatible smartphone to easily search for Pokémon.

#5 – JBL Wireless Headphones – $39.95 (reg. $99.95)
Amazon.com Price: $39.95 (as of 10/14/2020 05:30 PDT – Details)

I’ve been on the hunt for wireless headphones that don’t cost a million dollars but also actually work…and I’m liking the look of these. Choose from a few different colors.

These wireless headphones allow you to make hands-free stereo calls and listen to your favorite tunes or podcasts without having to be wired to your phone. Charging time is less than 2 hours from empty, and playtime is 4 hours with Bluetooth on.

Bonus – Spend $10, Get $10

Just a reminder that if you haven’t already gotten your $10 Amazon credit for spending $10 at Whole Foods and other Amazon physical stores, it’s not too late! You have through the end of the day today (Tuesday, 10/14) to earn and spend your credit. More details here.

Top 5 Amazon Prime Day 2020 Deals

10/13/20 Laura Wales

Disclosure: the post below may contain affiliate links. When you make a purchase or take action using these links, the site makes commission. For more information, please see my Disclosure Policy.

Amazon Prime Day 2020 has begun! There are, of course, a boatload of deals available, but I figured I’d pick out my 5 favorites happening right now to help you navigate the sale:

#1 – AncestryDNA: Genetic Ethnicity Test – $49 (reg. $99)
Amazon.com Price: $49.00 (as of 10/13/2020 08:30 PDT – Details)

This is a fantastic price and matches the Black Friday Sale price through Ancestry.com, plus you get FREE shipping!

#2 – Echo Dot (3rd Gen) – $18.99 (reg. $49.99)
Amazon.com Price: $18.99 (as of 10/13/2020 09:00 PDT – Details)

Need another Echo Dot (or two or three)? This is the lowest price we’ve seen on this compact smart speaker.

Use it to ask Alexa to play music, answer questions, read the news, check the weather, set alarms, control compatible smart home devices, and more.

#3 – Fire TV Cube – $79.99 (reg. $119.99)
Amazon.com Price: $79.99 (as of 10/13/2020 09:00 PDT – Details)

Whether or not you’ve already cut the cable cord and use streaming TV services (I have for years now), this handy device can make your TV-watching experience even more awesome.

You can use it to ask Alexa to turn on the TV, dim the lights, and play your show. You can also change channels just using your voice – no worries about a lost remote control anymore!

#4 – Ring Video Doorbell – $69.99 (reg. $99.99)
Amazon.com Price: $79.99 (as of 10/13/2020 09:00 PDT – Details)

This is the lowest price we’ve seen on this best-selling video doorbell which can work with Alexa devices if you so choose. It works on any home, with or without existing doorbell wires. Catch those porch pirates in the act!

#5 – Amazon Gift Cards – Buy $40, Get $10

This one is a no-brainer if you’re shopping on Amazon since you can just send an e-gift card to yourself. Buy $40 in Amazon Gift Cards and use the coupon code GC20PRIME at checkout.

When you do, you’ll receive a $10 promotional credit in your Amazon account within two days after your gift card purchase is completed or shipped. Easy!

Bonus – All-New Fire HD 8 Tablet – $54.99 (reg. $89.99)
Amazon.com Price: $54.99 (as of 10/13/2020 09:00 PDT – Details)

OK, so I added an extra deal. Whatevs. I actually just grabbed this deal myself! I’d been meaning to get a second Fire tablet for my kids’ screen time so they don’t fight over the one we currently have. Plus, we were due for an upgrade.

Speaking of that, I decided to trade in my ancient Kindle Fire (seriously, it’s from, like, 2011) and so I got a gift card and an extra 20% off this price. Consider that if you’re looking for an upgrade.

I love getting free stuff, especially if it’s something I can actually use. Did you know that there are lots of companies out there that send out free T-shirts?

It’s a win-win situation as they get exposure for their product when people wear their shirts, and you get a free T-shirt to wear with pride…even if it’s just an extra workout T-shirt for the gym.

I still have a Wendy’s “Where’s the Beef?” shirt I requested way back when, and I know I’ve gotten plenty of free T-shirts in the mail over the years.

How to Get Free T-Shirts

No matter your reason for wanting free T-shirts, you’ll want to know about all of the different companies that send out free T-shirts. Some companies may require you to enter a sweepstakes or giveaway, or they may just send you a free T-shirt, no strings – or tags! – attached.

1. Dr Pepper

Love Dr Pepper? Apply to join the Pepper Pack to become a partner in spreading the Dr Pepper love.

To get started, click “Sign In,” then register for an account. Once you’re logged in, you can edit your profile to answer the questions about how much you love Dr. Pepper.

They ask for your T-shirt size, so fingers crossed that you’ll get a free t-shirt in return!

Side note: Did you know that Dr Pepper is the oldest major soft drink brand in America? It was created by a pharmacist named Charles Alderton in Waco, Texas in 1885.
