There are plenty of ways to save on streaming services this Black Friday, but I’m here to give you the ultimate bundle that also allows you to optimize whatever subscription you sign up to with the help of a VPN; a tool that allows you to bypass geo-restrictions and access services wherever you are in the world. And I’m going to tell you how to do it for the low, low price of $5 a month.
I’ve already talked about why I’m not signing up to the Black Friday Disney Plus bundle due to the deals Ts&Cs. But I’m totally not bitter about it, because I’m going to marry together the best Black Friday streaming deals and this year’s Black Friday VPN deals to create something that’s arguably even better. With or Without the Disney Plus bundle.
So, let’s do this…
Starting budget: $5
How To Build Your Own Black Friday VPN Streaming Bundle
1. Choose The Right Black Friday VPN Deal
First things first, you need to choose your VPN. There are a fair few deals out there for Black Friday, but I choose Surfshark. It’s really affordable at $1.99 a month, and it’s got a great track record of being able to unblock streaming services. It also offers reliable security, and it’s speedy, as stated in sister site Tom’s Guide’s Surfshark review.
There are cheaper subscriptions out there where Black Friday VPN deals are concerned, including Privado’s $1.48 a month deal, and FastestVPN’s Lifetime Plan, which costs you a one-off payment of $23. This works out as a pretty solid rate of as little as… Well, it depends how long you live for, I guess. But, as I said, Surfshark is definitely one of the top providers out there, especially when still seeking quality.
Budget remaining: $3.01
2. Browse The Streaming Services On Sale This Black Friday
First up is Peacock’s $1.99 a month deal on its Premium plan. This comes ad-supported, but boasts a pretty cozy catalog of on-demand content including feel good sitcoms like Brooklyn Nine-Nine, The Office US, and all the Real Housewives iterations you could want.
Budget remaining: $1.02
With that much cash still to spare, we’re practically millionaires, bagging tons of great content on-demand for under $5. Especially when you consider 2024’s best Hulu Black Friday deals start you off with its With-Ads plan costing just 99 cents a month for 12 months, which I can stretch to with what’s left in my budget.
Budget remaining: $0.03
3. Look At Alternative Streaming Savings
There are other ways to get the ultimate Black Friday bundle. You could get one of Paramount Plus’ plans for $2.99 a month – but that deal only gets you the discount for your first two months. Max is slightly more generous with its offer, costing the same $2.99 a month rate but for six months. Opt for either and you’re almost at your limit of $4.98.
Alternatively…
Look, just because I can’t reap the streaming benefits of the Disney Plus bundle discount doesn’t mean you should miss out. And coming in just 2 cents under budget, it’s a pretty perfect bundle for streaming.
Budget remaining: $0.02
