TV sale: deals from £98 @ CurrysCurrys has smart TVs on sale for as low as £98. Keep in mind, the cheap TVs tend to be smaller, 1080p models (which are more suitable for a children's room or guest room). However, the sale also includes larger sets. These are among the cheapest TVs we've seen. Note that Amazon and Argos are holding similar sales.Price check: from £99 @ Amazon | from £109 @ Argos
The Hisense U7N is a fantastic way to lock down three important elements without breaking the bank: bright HDR performance, ample gaming features and an excellent display. In our Hisense U7N review, we shouted out this TV's 1,300+ nits of HDR brightness. Its Mini-LED backlighting is especially nice to have at this price point, along with its support for 4K gaming at 120Hz or 144Hz.Price check: £599 @ Amazon
The S90D is one of Samsung's 2024 OLED TVs. The OLED TV features Samsung's new NQ4 AI Gen2 processor, HDR10+/HLG support, 120Hz refresh rate, four HDMI 2.1 ports and built-in Alexa.

While they have a few small flaws (no aptX or lossless support), they deliver amazing sound quality, some of the best active noise canceling we've ever heard and up to 31.5 hours of battery life. At this price, they're a steal.Price check: £129 @ Amazon
The 4.5-star QuietComfort Ultra headphones are the best noise-canceling headphones that you can buy right now. That's thanks to Bose's excellent active noise canceling algorithm, which manages to block more noise than any other pair of headphones we've tested. They sound great as well, boast a decent attempt at Spatial Audio, and while the 24-hour battery life isn't the best, they are still a solid pair of cans.

The Google Pixel 9 features a 6.3-inch 1080 x 2424 OLED display, Tensor G4 chipset, 12GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. Rear cameras include a 50MP main and 48MP ultrawide, whereas on the front there's a 10.5MP camera. In our Pixel 9 review, we said the new AI features, upgraded cameras and bigger battery make it the Pixel phone to buy.
The iPhone has a 6.1-inch display with a 60Hz refresh rate and features Apple's A18 chip. In terms of cameras, you get 48MP main (f/1.6) with 2x optical quality zoom, 12MP ultrawide (f/2.2) and 12MP selfie lenses.

The iPhone 16 Pro Max has dropped in price. In our iPhone 16 Pro Max review, we liked its larger 6.9-inch display and handy Apple Intelligence features (like Writing Tools and the new Siri.) It also has epic battery life, lasting 17 hours and 38 minutes in our testing.

The Tech Purchase That Made My Life 1,000 Times Easier
I don't remember exactly why I bought my first Kasa smart plug. According to my Amazon history, it was May 9, 2021, and I can't remember what I was doing then except spending lots of time at home. But I do know this: I don't want to remember life without one. Or 10. They're so good, so helpful, so useful, that now I have 10. Why did I go from zero to 10, and why should you? Turning every outlet in your home into one you can control by app or voice assistant opens up a world of possibilities. I have houseplants under grow lights in darker corners of my home, and can turn those on and off even if I'm halfway around the world. I can put them on a schedule when I travel, but still turn that schedule off if someone needs to stay in my apartment. I can leave an appliance running, and turn it off while running errands. I can use my smart plugs for Christmas lights, or to make it appear someone is home for safety. I have a bedroom air purifier set to turn on one hour before my usual bedtime and to turn off in the morning, right as my living room air purifier is scheduled to turn on (doing this with a coffee maker or fan is an absolute no-brainer). All this automation might sound complicated or technically intimidating, but I promise it's easier than you could dream possible. All you have to do is plug one in, push a button to connect it to your WiFi, add it to the phone app, and live your life. In the more than two years I've been using these every day, I've never had an issue with dropped connections or an inability to find WiFi. The Kasa app is straightforward, and if you prefer, you can simply use Alexa or Google Home instead (or both). (Amazon has a new and compact Alexa-enabling Echo Pop smart speaker, if you don't have a voice control system set up.) One thing I love most about the Kasa mini smart plugs is that if you only use one, it's small enough to leave the other socket in your outlet free without covering it up or making it impossible to plug something else in. Kasa also makes their smart plug in a weather-ready outdoor power cord form, which is great for Halloween displays, Christmas lights or landscape lighting, or as indoor power strips for which each outlet can be controlled individually (I have one of those, too, plugged in behind a piece of furniture I never want to move). The Kasa weather-resistant outdoor smart plug has a 4.6-star rating on Amazon. You can check out every type they offer. With the Kasa smart plug power strip, you can control each socket individually with your phone or voice. Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (also available in an outdoor version for $17.99 and an indoor power strip for $43.99).

28 "Shark Tank" Products That Even I Would Invest In
A Blueland cleaning kit with everything you need to tackle your less-than-sparkling-clean home. The cleaning solutions are safe around kids and pets, and come in reusable bottles (environment, you're welcome). The kit comes with two reusable cleaning bottles, one reusable foaming hand soap bottle, and three tablets (fresh lemon multi-surface, eucalyptus mint bathroom, iris agave foaming hand soap). Blueland is a small business that aims to cut down on packaging waste. Promising review: "I couldn't be happier with the way that Blueland tablets work! They're the most sustainable model out there — no shipping heavy liquid-filled cleaners. I've had my 'forever bottle' for like two years and will keep going!" —Danielle it from Amazon for $38.99 or Blueland for $46. ReadeREST magnetic holders so your sunglasses or reading glasses are right there when you need them. The strong magnets connect even through thick material like flannel shirts and khaki pants! Promising review: "I can't tell you how many reading glasses I've killed in the past few years, largely from jettisoning them from my breast pocket or hooking them awkwardly in my shirt collar. These clips are amazing. They're discreet enough that I don't look like a goon wearing one on my shirt all day, and when I hang my glasses from them, I can tie my shoes without spilling them lens-first on the ground. What else can a fellow ask for?" —Phil SelmanGet it from Amazon for $18.99+ (available in two styles). A silicone dog tag that doesn't jingle or clang into food bowls, making it the ideal choice for nervous pups or humans who enjoy peace and quiet. This tag glows in the dark and comes with up to six lines of review: "I am pleased with the Silidog ID tag that I ordered for my dog. The tag is a good size, and the information is easy to read. The tag is sturdy, and I expect it to last for quite a while. Shipping was surprisingly fast for a personalized item. The company provided excellent customer service." —DogIDGet it from Chewy for $19.99 (available in three shapes and eight colors) or Amazon for $19.99 (available in eight colors). Brazi Bites Pizza Snacks, which are essentially like pizza rolls but with a twist — pao de queijo instead of pizza dough! That's right, it's cheese, sauce, and pepperoni wrapped in a delightful cheesy bread. If you've never had pao de queijo before, the Brazil specialty is basically gluten-free bread made out of cheese! You can also buy a pack of those from Amazon for $ back to these Pizza Bites. These things are INCREDIBLE! If you grew up on Hot Pockets and Totino's Pizza Rolls, consider these a major step up. They're super tasty, and the texture is spot on. I could easily live off of these (although I imagine not very long). They're the perfect lil' pick-me-up snack when you're craving something cheesy. Promising review: "I'm a huge fan of Brazi Bites cheese bread, so when I saw these, I knew I had to try them. I'm so glad I did. I popped them in the oven, and they came out the perfect level of crispy on the outside with yummy pizza filling on the inside. I feel like they're larger than other pizza rolls/bites, too. They were super tasty with a side of homemade ranch, and I can't wait to make these for football Sundays! These instantly became a freezer staple for me. Thanks, Brazi Bites!" —DakotaGet eight bags from Amazon for $77.98 (clip the coupon on the product page to save 5%). K-beauty hall-of-famer Glow Recipe Watermelon Glow Sleeping Mask with 2.5% pH-balanced AHA complex for gentle exfoliation, hyaluronic acid for hydration, watermelon enzymes for brightening, and niacinamide for maintaining your skin barrier. In other words, it proves that beauty sleep is a real thing. A Stasher reusable silicone bag that's airtight, dishwasher and microwave safe, and sturdy as heck, making it the perfect replacement for disposable plastic bags. Captain Planet is on the phone, ready to congratulate you. It's self-sealing, nonplastic, and safe for the dishwasher, microwave, and oven (up to 425 degrees). It's also free of BPA, PVC, and review: "I've tried a LOT of reusable bags as there are a lot of options out there all using a variety of materials. The fabric ones just get gross over time. The vinyl ones are hard to clean and aren't usually dishwasher-safe. There are other silicone ones that need a separate rod to close them that you can easily lose. This one is the most simple and easy to use. No separate pieces to lose. Can withstand any temperature/microwave/dishwasher/whatever. And if they get gunky, they are very easy to clean, and I trust that they aren't hiding gross crumbs in any of the crevices. My only complaint is the cost — they are the most expensive, and I wish they offered a bulk discount. If they were cheaper, I would use them for EVERYTHING (open cheese in the cheese drawer, all snacks on the go, etc.)." —Megan it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in 21 colors and a pack of three). A Sleep Pod Move for anyone who wants to be gently squeezed to sleep. This particular model has a flap so you can tuck your feet in or let them breathe as you get up for a glass of water. BuzzFeed writer Mal Mower loves her Sleep Pod: "I recently replaced my weighted blanket with a Sleep Pod, and I am never going back. I appreciated the comfort that I got from a weighted blanket, but it was so hot I wasn't able to last under it for long. It was also so heavy I couldn't take it with me anywhere. This design solves those problems. The fabric is breathable and so lightweight that I can comfortably use it in the summer and throw it in my tote bag on vacations. I feel calm and comforted every time I get in. I've used it while napping, while trying to calm down before going to bed at night, and while sitting on the sofa and needing some extra stress relief when binge-watching Chernobyl got too stressful. I can't rave enough about this thing, but I'll certainly keep trying!"Promising review: "I love this. It's so much lighter than a weighted blanket so I don't get hot. It is super soft. Easy to get in and out of. It instantly calms my nervous system and I sleep so well. I get so excited to put it on." —a smileyGet it from Amazon for $79.99+ (available in two sizes and two colors). Fur Oil ready to tackle ingrown hairs, irritation, and dry skin with the help of clary sage oil and tea tree oil. Apply this hydrating, nongreasy oil anywhere you have hair, like your underarms, legs, chest, and face (just avoid your eyes), to help reduce redness, speed up the healing process, and even prevent future ingrown hairs. A Springer dog water bottle genius in its simplicity: Just squeeze the bottle to fill the built-in bowl with water. When you're done, spill out the excess water and continue your walk. Promising review: "The Springer dog water bottle is SUPER convenient!!! I go hiking and biking a ton with my dog, and this is by far the best water bottle I have found for him. He took to drinking out of it naturally and I love that none of the water gets wasted. It's so easy to just clip it on my hiking pack and go!! Definite five stars!!!" —EmilyGet it from Amazon for $21.99+ (available in three sizes and seven colors). Controlled Chaos leave-in conditioner, a crowd-pleasing, pH-balanced formula people with all types of hair love for its ability to detangle, moisturize, repair, and de-frizz. Controlled Chaos is a small business that sells hair care for people with thick, curly, or dry hair. Promising review: "It's hard to find products for curly hair that do not make your hair crunchy. I love how soft my hair is and how curly I am able to style it with this product. I saw it on Shark Tank, ordered it, and love it!!!!" —SandyGet the leave-in conditioner from Amazon for $35. A tube of Grip Clean that'll cut through grease, oil, ink, odors, and more. It's made with gentle ingredients like coconut and olive oil, so even those with sensitive skin can use it regularly without suffering from dry, cracked, or irritated hands. Promising review: "This works great for my husband, who works on cars all day. Other heavy-duty hand washes are so rough on his skin, but the alternative was scrubbing a few times to get most of the grease and grime off. I feel like one wash with this actually gets it ALL off, and I'm really impressed and happy about this." —GillianGet it from Amazon for $12.49+ (available in three sizes and in a kit). Kinfield's Golden Hour bug spray made with a unique strain of Indonesian citronella that actually smells good — think citrus and vanilla. Customers looking to avoid DEET swear up and down that it really works. Heads up: As far as "natural" bug sprays go, the CDC only recommends formulas with oil of lemon eucalyptus so I don't recommend using this in super buggy areas. That said, based on the reviews, you should be covered for casual picnics and backyard hangs. Promising review: "Mosquitos like to eat me up and make me puff up like an itchy water balloon, but I've had absolutely ZERO bites while wearing this stuff. I love that it's not a bunch of nasty, sticky DEET chemicals. I recommend applying it outside, though, if you have cats or dogs since essential oils aren't great for them to ingest or inhale. Made the mistake of applying inside one time, and it was very strong, so I cordoned my cats off from the area, lol. A lot of people seem to complain about the scent, but I personally love the smell of citronella, so it doesn't bother me. I'll be using this for LIFE!" —TJ it from Kinfield for $22. And a suction tool to help relieve the itchy agony of bug bites by sucking out insect venom, saliva, and other irritants under your skin. Finally, you can go outside after dark again! Make sure you read all the directions before using so you don't accidentally give yourself a hickey! I've used this, and it totally works. It won't completely get rid of 100% of your bug bites, but it makes a noticeable difference. I haven't scratched once since this amazing device came into my life. Promising review: "I am a magnet for bites of all kinds and carry topical and medicines with me at all times — so I figured this would be a good product to see if it really works. I woke up with a bug bite on my arm, so I used this little tool (three times per the instructions) — immediately after using it, it stopped itching! And less than 24 hours later, the bump/bite gone! There is a very faint red mark from using the thing, but a small price to pay IMO. Bottom line: It's awesome. I'm carrying it with me everywhere!" —Rebecca Get it from Amazon for $9.95+ (available in five colors and multipacks). A Bridal Buddy that will gather up large gowns into a manageable ball, so you can go to the bathroom without worrying about Promising review: "This was one of the first things on my list to buy for my wedding. I saw it on Shark Tank and thought it was a genius idea before I even got engaged. I had a very large ball gown with a long train and needed no help going to the restroom, thanks to this thing. It's easy to use and comfortable to wear all night. It's also short enough that it doesn't peek out the bottom. I'm very short at 5'1" and still had a couple of inches of clearance when pulled up to my waist." —TiraGet it from Amazon for $29.95 (available in seven sizes and two styles). A bottle of Better Life Natural tub and tile cleaner, a plant-based cleaner that tackles soap scum, rust, mold, mildew, hard water stains, and mineral deposits just as well as bleach-based competitors. Just apply the foam spray, let sit for 5 to 10 minutes, then wipe away years of grossness. Promising review: "This is my favorite thing. I saw it on Shark Tank and had to get a whole bunch of their products. After I saw them rub raw chicken on a counter and clean with one product and still have bacteria, then cleaned with this and there was almost nothing... I had to have it!!! I use it to clean countertops and for anything, really. It's great for wherever you need to use it!" —Cents For My ScentsGet it from Amazon for $14.99+ (also available in a pack of two and a larger size). An Ezpz food mat to thwart your child's attempts to toss the whole plate of food on the ground. It uses the power of suction to stay put, so your kid has no choice but to try the peas. Ezpz is a mom-owned brand that aims to make mealtime easier for everyone. Promising review: "Does your child 'feed the dog' during meal time? While this dish won't guarantee they won't continue that fun habit, it sure helps. Instead of 'wiping all the food' off his high chair tray, now my grandson's food sits in this sturdy dish that can't move. And I mean, can't! It stays put, and the cut pieces are easy to pick up. Easy to clean too!" —ReeveGet it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in two styles and seven colors). Aura Bora seltzer that comes in fancy flavors like lavender cucumber and strawberry basil for people who have burned through all the traditional flavors and are looking for something new. Much to the disgust of my parents, I grew up chewing C Howard's violet gum, so OF COURSE I had to spring for the chance to try some botanical-flavored seltzers. The cans have beautiful illustrations and are bursting with flavor (or as much as a seltzer can have). They'll make a great addition to your spring bevy review: "Yes, a little on the pricier side, but the taste is soooooo good! Very refreshing, doesn't have that yucky sweet metal aftertaste that so many of these type of drinks do. I highly recommend it. Lately, it's been my favorite summer refresher… 💜💚 Lavender cucumber is my absolute favorite!" —LunaWestGet a pack of 12 from Amazon for $21.89+ (available in four flavors). A pair of weighted Bala Bangles to add a little resistance to your workout or everyday routine. Passive exercise? My favorite. Bala is a woman-owned business that sells various pretty exercise equipment. I have these bands and love 'em! They have super-strong hook-and-loop tape so you can strap them on tight (no sliding weights while punching, lifting, running, jumping, etc.). Best of all, they're just really, really pretty! Promising review: "I love them, and they feel more ergonomic than other ankle/wrist weights. They are surprisingly comfortable for being extra challenging at 3 pounds each for me, so I'm just going to have to start with 1 pound to avoid injury." —Isabella them from Bala for $55+ or Amazon for $55+ (available in two weights and up to six colors). A Pluto Pillow personalized to your exact needs so you can say goodbye to neck pain and hello to blissful sleep. The company asks everything from height to sleep position to make sure you're getting your ideal pillow.

What's Driving Americans To Live Paycheck To Paycheck? One Person Says It's Like Being 'Thrown Into Adulthood Without A Map'
Many Americans are stuck living paycheck to paycheck, and it's not just because they don't make enough money. While low wages and the rising cost of living are factors, Reddit users recently shared a much broader picture of the problem, revealing how complex and widespread the issue really is. 'At first glance, it seems obvious: people just don't make enough money, right?' one Redditor wrote. 'But the more I read and the more conversations I had, the more I realized that income is only one piece of a much bigger puzzle.' Don't Miss: Deloitte's fastest-growing software company partners with Amazon, Walmart & Target – Hasbro, MGM, and Skechers trust this AI marketing firm — Many pointed to the rising cost of living. Essentials like rent, food, healthcare, and transportation have surged, while wages have barely moved. 'The cost of living has doubled and we're still getting paid the same ridiculous salary,' one person wrote. Even people who do save find themselves drained by constant emergencies. 'I was just starting to feel good! Caught up on bills, saving for emergencies, finally contributing to my retirement then a random light flashes on my car dashboard,' someone shared. 'There goes all the emergency money I built up.' Medical bills, vet visits, car repairs, and home maintenance were frequently mentioned. 'No amount of budgeting works when the average pay in the USA isn't enough to pay for rent if you're single,' another said. Trending: Maximize saving for your retirement and cut down on taxes: . Several people criticized the U.S. credit system, which can penalize people for paying off debt. 'I paid off my mortgage, car, and my student loans were discharged... and my credit score never recovered,' one wrote. Others said they were forced into debt just to build credit in the first place. There was also recognition that habits play a role. Some admitted to lifestyle creep or impulse spending. 'If I have $100, why wouldn't I spend it on dinner or new whatever I need? I have it now, so I spend it now,' one person confessed. Another called it a mindset shaped by childhood poverty: 'I learned that money doesn't stick around. If you have $100 then you need to spend it on what it needs to go to or something else will 'eat it.'' Still, many said they weren't taught how to manage money in the first place. 'We're basically thrown into adulthood without a map. So people just figure it out as they go—often by trial and error,' the original poster said. 'And when that 'error' is maxing out a credit card or missing rent, the consequences are heavy.'There was little illusion that the situation would improve without major changes. 'You have to be real and live within your means. If you are poor, live like you are poor until you work your way out,' one person wrote. Others pushed back, saying the issue isn't discipline but systemic failure. As one commenter put it: 'It's too expensive to live, too expensive to have kids, and too expensive to die here in the U.S.' Read Next: Can you guess how many retire with a $5,000,000 nest egg? .
