In a spectacular budget-friendly nod to 2026 Oscars enthusiasts, Hulu and Disney Plus slashed their ad-supported bundle to $4.99 a month through March 24, just in time for the 98th Academy Awards airing March 15 at 7PM ET. That's a full $8 off to enjoy "The Secret Agent," "It Was Just An Accident," and "Elio"—because nothing says star-studded like quietly questionable titles. Meanwhile, Google joined the parade offering Pixel Watch 4 at $289.99 (down $60), boasting handy survival tools from dual-frequency GPS to AI powered Recorder summaries, all while being repairable. Plus, gamer hearts flutter at Samsung’s Mario-themed 256GB microSD Express card dropping to $39 (a 33% markdown) just as the Switch 2 struggles to store every digital masterpiece like "Cyberpunk 2077." And how could we forget? Google's 4K streamer for $79.99 and Ninja's $169 Creami ice cream maker make this weekend's playlist a savory and streaming delight for all wallets and lifestyles.
