Google Chromecast Streaming Media Player
So you say you don’t own a smart TV?  That’s okay – we have two TV’s that aren’t Smart TV’s.  That said, we’ve turned one of the TV’s into a Smart TV using the first Google Chromecast device marketed.  If you have a HDTV with an HDMI interface you can turn your TV into a Smart TV too, by streaming (casting) from your devices using the Google Chromecast Streaming Media Player.
There’s a lot of money to be saved when you use a streaming device/media player.  Like – you can cut your cable bill to a minimum OR get rid of it completely.   For approximately $35 – a one time purchase, you can use your phone (we use the iPad), to cast what we want to watch on YouTube and Netflix to the TV.  That said, with the new Chromecast – you can do so much more!
Here are the features of the New (2018) Google Chromecast Streaming Media Player:
  • All together now – Watch movies, shows, live TV, YouTube, and photos streaming on your TV from all your family’s devices.¹ (We can’t cast/stream photos using the Chromecast we have)
  • Stream from your phone to TV – Plug Chromecast into the HDMI port on your TV and to power and stream your favorite entertainment right from your phone with just a tap. Watch shows, listen to playlists, and more. And while streaming, you can still use your phone as you normally do.
  • Works with the streaming apps you know and love – Enjoy TV shows, movies, videos, songs, games, sports and more from over 2000 apps like Netflix, YouTube, YouTube TV, and HBO NOW.  Find more at g.co/chromecast/¹
  • Start streaming with just your voice – Just say what you want to watch from compatible apps and control your TV hands-free, with Chromecast and Google Home working seamlessly together.²  – “Ok Google, play Stranger Things from Netflix on my living room TV.” ¹ (our Chromecast doesn’t have the ability to use Google Home).
  • Upgrade your TV for less – Expand your home entertainment without buying a new TV. It’s so affordable you can get one for every TV in the house.  (This was a HUGE money saver for us).
  • High-speed wireless connectivity – Built-in 802.11ac Wi-Fi connects to the Internet through your wireless home network (wireless router required and sold separately).
  • Compatible with your existing HDTV – Easily connects to high-definition televisions with HDMI connectivity.
IMPORTANT TO NOTE
  • ¹ Subscriptions are required to view some content.
  • ² Google Home, Chromecast, and compatible content required to cast to a TV using Google Home.
  • Web-based services and content require high-speed Internet service. Some services may require a subscription.

Now that you’ve discovered the New Google Chromecast Streaming Media Player and all it has to offer – can you see the savings to be had?  Is this a device that would fit into your life?  We absolutely love the older model we own; though we did have to buy an HDMI switch to make it work with our TV, but it was well worth it.  Check out the New Chromecast Streaming Media Player at Best Buy.

Win A $25 Gift Card & the Book ESPresident + ESPete: Sixth Grade Sense Giveaway

 2018, Giveaway
Oct 152018
 

FCS has teamed up with another blogger to bring you the giveaway:  Win A $25 Gift Card & ESPresident + ESPete: Sixth Grade Sense Plus 4 other individuals will win a copy of the book!

With the elections right around the corner I want to share with you a fun book for kids! ESPete in ESPresident: Featuring ESPete’s Psychic Joke Book If you have a child in 4th-6th grade you will want to check out this book and another book in this series called ESPete: Sixth Grade Sense. Both books are by Arnold Rudnick.

In ESPete in ESPresident: Pete becomes a reluctant candidate for class president in the premiere ESPete comic. You also get a bonus psychic jokes and puzzles!

ESPete: Sixth Grade Sense won a silver medal in the Moonbeam Children’s Book Awards (2009) and Reader’s Favorite Awards (2010) and was a pick in Danny Brassell’s Lazy Readers Book Club (September 2012).

Meet Pete and his friends in the Moonbeam Award-winning chapter book ESPete: SIXTH GRADE SENSE. Pete figured there would be a lot of reading in sixth grade, but he didn’t count on adding the minds of his teachers and classmates to the list. Knowing what they think can be helpful sometimes, but it can also get complicated — ESPecially when Pete discovers the substitute teacher is thinking about a big robbery.

ARNOLD RUDNICK studied film and accounting at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, then moved to Los Angeles, where he worked in feature development at Paramount Pictures and Gary Lucchesi Productions. Arnold has written for many television shows, including THE FRESH PRINCE OF BEL-AIR, STAR TREK: VOYAGER and THE NEW ADDAMS FAMILY.

Your skin is your largest organ. It protects our body against the environment and bears the brunt of the forces of nature which ages our skin.

What is Stopping You From Using Ebates?

 2018, Shopping
Sep 242018
 

 

Ebates Coupons and Cash Back

I ask people time and time again – “when you shop online, are you utilizing a cash back site?”  Some people I speak with do; others say no.  I ask why not?  Some say it seems like too much work – others say, “I don’t know” and others that say, “it’s confusing.” And all I have to say is –  I need to teach you! It’s not a hard concept at all.  In fact, it’s so simple that you’ll wish you had joined years ago.

So now I am asking you – do you utilize cash back shopping sites?  If not – what is stopping you from using ebates or any of the several other cash back sites?  Seriously – it’s just one extra step of your online shopping purchase and it will save you money.  Money that you get back when you reach payout for which doesn’t take that long to do.

Let’s focus on the cash back site ebates.com.  As you can see below – since becoming a member I’ve received $618.13 in cash back from shopping through ebates.

ebates
Here’s the thing – that $618, even though it took 15 yrs to hit that cash back figure – it is $618 in my pocket that I wouldn’t have had otherwise.  But, what one must also remember that I also utilize several other cash back sites which makes the total cash back over the years – a lot higher than that.  Why do I utilize more than one site?   Well, there are times when other sites offer a higher cash back at the store that I am looking to purchase items at.  That said, ebates does a daily double cash back store every. single. day.  There are times they offer double cash back at several different stores.  I don’t put my eggs in one basket because I want to get the most out of my money spent.  Go {here} to see my favorite cash back shopping sites.

So what are the steps in using a site like ebates?

  1. First you need to sign up on the site
  2. Next, search for the store you’re looking to shop at (using the ‘search’ feature is wonderful!)
  3. Click on the link to that store – you’ll see a popup saying that you’re going to be earning cash back for your purchase – seeing that popup means that your click has been tracked
  4. Complete your shopping and check out
  5. There’s nothing more for you to do.  Under your “account” on the ebates site – look for the heading “Shopping Trips”.  Click on that and you will see what stores have been tracked that you’ve “clicked thru”.  If you’ve got an issue – email ebates.

Refer Friends and Earn Money

Right now (as of this posting 9/24/18)if you refer friends and they make a minimum purchase of $25 – you’ll receive $25 in your ebates account and your friend will earn $10.  This offer isn’t always available.  Most of the time you’ll receive a $10 referral per friend.

Need more explanation?  Click (here) and also learn more tips and tricks to make your shopping experience even more of a savings.  Happy shopping.  Happy savings!

**If you should sign up for any of the cash back sites, an FCS team member may receive a referral bonus.
