Inventory is low this year for a lot of items — we’ll dig more into why below — so if you find something you’re interested in or really want, you should take ful ladvantage of any discounts! There’s no telling when that hot item is going to be sold out, or when the deal will be unavailable!

You need to shop the Amazon Black Friday deals now

The microchip shortage has caused quite a ruckus in the consumer electronics market and beyond. We’re seeing manufacturing delays, shipment delays, and many more problems on top of additional supply chain issues. The result is that inventory is really low for certain items, and when they go out of stock, there’s no telling when it will be available again. Black Friday deals also dropped earlier than ever this year, and things have been selling out quickly! Now’s the perfect time to get great prices on whatever you’ve been looking for, and if you find items in stock, you’ll want to jump on the opportunity!

If you’re worried about buying too early and missing out on great deals later, don’t be. The major retailers have extended holiday returns windows to accommodate the early deals. Amazon, for example, has extended its return period until January 2022. If you buy something between now and then, and it goes on sale for cheaper later, you can always return and rebuy it for the better price, or get a refund for the price difference. But if you wait and a better deal shows up later, there’s no guarantee there will be enough items in stock! Buy now, while the items are available, and worry about getting the best possible deal later. It’s unlikely we’ll see price drops larger than what’s available now.

Hulu with Live TV Free Trial: Everything you need to know
Hulu on Roku.

As great as online streaming platforms are, some people miss the cable and live TV days -- not necessarily because of the prices or confusion, but the option to catch whatever is on at a given time. It can be frustrating trying to find a decent movie or show to watch or even make a selection with so much available these days. If that sounds like you, that's where the best live TV streaming services come in. In fact, Hulu has its own live TV streaming service in its Hulu with Live TV package, which is one of the largest streaming platforms by subscriber count (more than 4 million, in case you were wondering). It's a more comprehensive streaming service than basic Hulu, though, so it's naturally a bit pricier. The higher price may warrant a testing period. It's always good to give something a try before spending your hard-earned money, which leaves you wondering: Is there a Hulu with Live TV free trial available? Here's what you need to know.
Is there a Hulu with Live TV free trial?

Just as there is no Disney Plus free trial, there is also no Hulu with Live TV free trial at the moment. That said, there is a Hulu free trial for the basic ad-supported service if you want to give that a try to see if Hulu's non-live catalog of shows and movies is worth it. You get to try Hulu for 30 days, too, which is ample time to explore the catalog and then decide if you want to upgrade to the full Hulu with Live TV package to get those television channels that basic Hulu is missing. Other than that, though, you'll have to pony up the cash if you want to sign up for Hulu with Live TV -- but that doesn't mean you have to pay full price.
