Why my Roku Streaming Stick 4K is perfect for Prime Day Shopping
Today, cutting the cord is easier than ever. Most cable providers now have streaming-only options, as streaming has taken over the home entertainment industry by force. That’s a big reason why I can’t say enough for my Roku Streaming Stick 4K.
If you’ve ever wanted a place where you can manage all your streaming services and keep track of where you left off in a movie or show, the Roku Streaming Stick works perfectly for me. Now, for Prime Day in October, it’s down to just $34, a 32% discount off the usual $50 price tag.
I’ve been a cord cutter for so long that I don’t miss cable, especially the commercials. Plus, I enjoy talking into my remote and getting exactly what I want on every platform from Peacock to Hulu and more. Summer was a great time to binge watch the latest seasons of The Bear, Love Island USA, and Bel-Air and much more. All it takes is a Wi-Fi connection, an HDMI port, streaming services, and the Roku Stick to access an endless amount of entertainment.
