It’s Friday night. You’re tired from a long work week. You decide to treat yourself to a nice meal from that cool new spot across town, but you’re already in your pajamas. You worked hard this week. You deserve it. So you whip out your phone, order it on Grubhub, then do a spit take when you see the price. Delivery fees on mobile ordering apps are no joke. Thankfully, there’s a way to skip all of that.

It’s called Grubhub+, and it will save you a ton of cash. Normally you have to weight the cost of a $10 monthly membership against how many fees you really rack up. But right now, Amazon Prime members can get a year of Grubhub+ absolutely free. That’s right, no strings attached. As long as you are a Prime Member who also has a Grubhub account, you get a year of the service for free. If you sign up by July 5, you’ll get two free years. Prime Day 2023 has come early.

Why you should buy Grubhub+

If you’re currently an Amazon Prime member, there really isn’t a reason not to redeem this offer. It’s quite literally free. But even when Grubhub+ was $10 per month, the argument for investing was convincing. If you’re even a semi-frequent Grubhub user, then a Grubhub+ account is worth your money. It’s $10 per month, and it gets you free delivery on most orders. If you’re ordering at least three times per month, you’ll definitely be saving money.

Not all orders come with free delivery, and you may still have to pay other fees, for instance service fees and taxes. And don’t forget to tip your drivers! But $3.50 delivery fees really start to add up after a while. When you see the full price of your cheeseburger and fries on the payment screen, it can sometimes be enough to cancel it entirely. Do yourself a favor and get the free membership already.

Right now all Amazon Prime members can redeem one or two free years of Grubhub+, just by being Prime members. There really is no reason not to. Sign up at the link below, then order yourself a celebratory dinner — delivery fee free!

It can be tough to keep up with what's happening online. You might even try several different ways, including visiting specific websites every day, doing Google searches, or relying on social media timelines and news feeds to keep yourself informed. But another solution that sometimes gets overlooked is an old-school one: The RSS feed.

What is an RSS feed? It's a technology that has influenced many modern internet tools you're familiar with, and its streamlined, algorithm-free format could make it your next great tool for reading what you want online.
What is RSS?
What RSS stands for depends on who you ask. The main consensus is that it stands for "Really Simple Syndication." But you may also hear that it stands for "Rich Site Summary."  At its heart though, RSS essentially refers to simple text files with necessary, updated information -- news pieces, articles, that sort of thing. That stripped-down content gets plugged into a feed reader, an interface that quickly converts the RSS text files into a stream of the latest updates from around the web.

Google Drive in Chrome on a MacBook.

Google Drive and Dropbox are two of the most popular cloud storage providers, if not some of the best. They offer a range of exciting features, from secure file storage and transfer, to free storage, file syncing, extensions, chat-app integration, and more. But while they might go toe to toe on some cloud storage specifications, there are others where one is the clear winner. The question is, which one is the best in 2024?

Let's take a close look at Google Drive and Dropbox to see how their latest head to head turns out.
Google Drive wins the free storage battle
Both Dropbox and Google Drive offer free storage space for those who would like to try out their respective services before putting down a few dollars a month for something more expansive and permanent. Google Drive comes standard, with 15GB of free space, far more than Dropbox's initial free storage offering of just 2GB.
