We all follow those people on Instagram who are somehow always on vacation. We don’t know their life story, but we’d be willing to bet they didn’t pay full price for that excursion — they just planned strategically. We’re keeping track of the best flight, train, luggage, and hotel deals below to help you do the same. Now get outta here.

Why we like it
The cold weather version of Frontier’s internet-breaking summer pass unlocks unlimited flights to both domestic and international Frontier destinations between Sept. 2 and Feb. 29, 2024, for a one-time fee of $299. Frontier serves more than 100 airports across the U.S., Mexico, the Caribbean, and Latin America, with new locations frequently being added to the lineup. This is cheaper than even the summer pass’ debut price of $399 and its long-term sale price of $499.
Frontier also dropped a monthly pass that’s free for the first month (aside from a $49 enrollment fee) and renews for $149 monthly after that. Your unlimited monthly pass begins the day you purchase it and runs for 30 days each period. Be sure to read the fine print before snagging any of the tickets.

Theme park deals
Opens in a new window
Why we like it
Vacation doesn’t feel like vacation when you’re trying to cram a theme park’s full glory into a few short days. You can add three full days at Universal to your trip for free when you purchase tickets for two days (as long as they’re all consecutive). That’s five days for the price of two, so you can really take your time between Universal and Islands of Adventure — or even devote a whole day to the Wizarding World of Harry Potter. You’d still have to buy separate tickets (starting at $84.99) to Halloween Horror Nights, but the money you’re saving with this deal basically secures those for free.

Best VPN deals in November 2023: Black Friday sales are going live
Here’s a roundup of the best VPN deals for November 2023. Using a VPN is an easy way to bypass geo-restrictions, protect company data while working remotely, and browse privately on public WiFi networks.
UPDATE: Nov. 2, 2023, 11:20 a.m. EDT This story has been updated with the latest and greatest VPN deals.
NordVPN Standard (2 years + 3 months)
(save $10/month)
ExpressVPN (1 year + 3 months)
(save $6.28/month)
Proton VPN Plus (30 months)
(save $6/month)
CyberGhost VPN (2 years + 3 months)
(save $10.88/month)
TunnelBear Unlimited (1 year)
(save $6.66/month)
Using a virtual private network (or VPN) is an easy way to bypass geo-restrictions on streaming and gaming content, protect company data while working remotely, and browse privately on public WiFi networks. Most providers’ plans cost anywhere from $2 to $13 per month, though many lure customers in with discounted introductory rates that skyrocket after your initial term. To help you lock in a plan that’ll fit your budget in the short and long run, we’re compiling a weekly roundup of the best deals on all the VPNs we’ve personally tested. Below, you can check out our top picks as of November 2.
NordVPN
Opens in a new window
Power users shouldn’t think twice about signing up for NordVPN, an industry giant that bundles its highly customizable VPN service with advanced security features like Tor access, a dark web monitor, and malware protection. New users can sign up for a two-year Standard plan at just $2.99/month (billed $80.73 upfront) during its Black Friday sale, which is 77% off its usual $12.99/month rate and its cheapest price of the year. (If you don’t see that discount reflected, try pulling up the NordVPN website in an incognito window.) The plan comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee and renews annually at $8.29/month after your first term ends.
Optional add-ons include:
-
Dedicated IP — $3.79/month
-
Incogni data removal tool — $3.69/month
Read Mashable’s review of NordVPN.
ExpressVPN
Opens in a new window
ExpressVPN is a well-established VPN service with a globally diverse server network, a user-friendly app, a built-in tracker blocker, and a strong commitment to user privacy. Its monthly rate also hovers around the high end of the spectrum at $12.95, so we recommend opting for its 15-month plan at $6.67/month (billed $99.95 upfront) — that’s a 49% savings and covered by a 30-day money-back guarantee. Your subscription will convert to an $8.32/month annual plan after the first term is up.
Read Mashable’s review of ExpressVPN.
Proton VPN
Opens in a new window
Proton VPN is another great pick for privacy wonks with open-source apps and ultra-transparent company policies. It offers a decent free plan, but we recommend its Plus tier for full access to its server network, streaming and P2P support, multi-hop, up to 10 simultaneous connections, and Tor access. Monthly subscriptions typically go for $9.99, but you’ll save 60% and pay just $3.99/month (billed $119.70 upfront) if you commit to a 30-month plan during its Black Friday sale. A 30-day money-back guarantee applies here, too.

CyberGhost VPN
Opens in a new window
CyberGhost lays claim to a massive network with special servers optimized for streaming, gaming, and P2P to help minimize lag. New customers can sign up for a 27-month plan at just $2.11/month (billed $56.97 upfront), saving 84% on its standard monthly fee of $12.99. Your subscription will renew as a $4.75/month annual plan after the initial term is up, which still isn’t terrible — and like all of CyberGhost’s multi-year plans, it comes with a 45-day money-back guarantee plus free access to its ID Guard and Privacy Guard tools. If you don’t want to commit to anything just yet, you can try CyberGhost for free for up to a week, depending on the platform.
Optional add-ons include:
-
Dedicated IP — $2.50/month
$5/month(save 50%) for two years
Read Mashable’s review of CyberGhost VPN.
TunnelBear
Opens in a new window
Our go-to recommendation for anyone who’s never used the technology before, TunnelBear is a simple, lightweight VPN with an intuitive (and adorable) interface. Though it’s incapable of unblocking international streaming sites, it should serve you well for basic web surfing. Pick its Unlimited plan over the free version for unlimited browsing and priority customer service, which costs $3.33/month (billed $39.99 upfront) when you enroll for one year during its Fall Sale — that’s 67% off its usual $9.99/month rate and its lowest price of the year. (You might have to click through to its “Plans” page to see the offer, FYI.) There’s no money-back guarantee, unfortunately, but refunds are offered on a case-by-case basis.
Read Mashable’s review of TunnelBear.
Private Internet Access (PIA)
Opens in a new window
It’s nothing particularly special, but for users in search of a basic VPN with open-source apps, built-in ad blocking, and unlimited simultaneous connections, PIA is worth a look. You’ll pay only $2.11/month (billed $56.94 upfront) for 27 months of coverage during its lingering Halloween Special Sale, which takes 82% off its regular rate of $11.99/month; that does include a 30-day money-back guarantee. You’ll switch to an annual plan at $4.75/month after the initial term is over.
Optional add-ons include:
-
Antivirus by PIA — $1.45/month
$4.50/month(save 68%) for two years -
Dedicated IP — $2.50/month
$5/month(save 50%) for two years
Read Mashable’s review of PIA.
IPVanish
Opens in a new window
Another middle-of-the-road pick, IPVanish makes up for a lack of advanced security features with a minimalist, straightforward app and support for unlimited simultaneous connections. You can get your first two years for $2.99/month (billed $71.76 upfront), which shaves 77% off its usual monthly rate of $12.99 and includes a 30-day money-back guarantee. After that term is up, you’ll get bumped to $7.50/month on an annual plan.

Are the ‘Saw’ movies on any streaming service? Here’s how to watch every single ‘Saw’ film online.
Here’s how you can watch every ‘Saw’ film in the franchise, including the newly-released ‘Saw X’.

The year is 2004. Facebook just launched, pleated mini skirts and Ugg boots are popular, and audiences are watching the movie Saw in theaters for the very first time. Nearly two decades later, Facebook is still the most used social media platform in the world, pleated mini skirts and Ugg boots are back in style (much to my dismay), and Saw is back in theaters with its 10th installment.
On Sept. 29, Jigsaw returned to the big screen in Saw X — a curious prequel set to take place between the original Saw and Saw II. Yes, Tobin Bell reprises his role as horror icon John Kramer and he’s joined in the cast by Shawnee Smith, Synnøve Macody Lund, Steven Brand, Michael Beach, and Renata Vaca. In what should come as no surprise, things start hopeful and lead to a twisted, gruesome torture game. The website calls it “the untold chapter of Jigsaw’s most personal game.” Mashable film critic Siddhant Adlakha calls it “the best (and only good) Saw movie since 2009.”
Check out the trailer below for a sneak peek.
Considering it’s been nearly 20 years since the first film was released, you might need to revisit the earlier flicks before heading to the theaters or renting Saw X at home. Fortunately, every iteration is streaming online — but not all in one place. Here are the best ways to watch every single Saw film online — and the best deals to snag to complete your movie marathon.
What streaming service has the Saw movies?
As with most things in the streaming age, the Saw franchise is scattered across multiple streaming services. Fortunately, the majority of the films — the original through the seventh film — can all be found on one streamer. The eighth and ninth films are harder to come across. So, if you’re setting up a Saw movie marathon to prepare yourself for Saw X, you’re going to need a couple of different subscriptions. Luckily, we’ve figured out the best options for you below.
Can I watch Saw X online?
While Saw X isn’t streaming quite yet (it is still in select theaters, after all), it did get an early digital release for those hoping to watch the 10th installment at home. Currently, you can either rent the film for $19.99 or purchase it for $24.99 at digital retailers like Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV+, or Vudu. If you’re a Prime member, you can even save a few bucks and rent Saw X for only $17.74 or purchase it for $22.74.

Where to watch every Saw movie online
The free streaming service Tubi used to carry a chunk of the Saw films, but unfortunately, that’s no longer the case. There are still ways to stream some of the films for free or at least at a discount, however. Here’s a breakdown of where to watch every Saw film online, as well as the best current deals for each.
Best for long-term viewing: Peacock
Opens in a new window
Currently, seven of the ten Saw films are available to watch on Peacock Premium. Not to mention, Lionsgate has a multi-year movie output agreement with Peacock for future theatrical releases. That means, eventually, Saw X will likely find its home on Peacock as well, making it a solid long-term viewing deal. You could sign up for a monthly subscription for just $5.99/month or commit long-term and pay just $39.99 for the whole year (regularly $59.99/year) by using the code BIGTENFAN at checkout (valid at the time of writing).
Are you a student with a valid university ID? You can score a Peacock Premium student subscription for only $1.99/month for your first year. That’s a $4/month discount.
Films included: Saw, Saw II, Saw III, Saw IV, Saw V, Saw VI, Saw: The Final Chapter, and (most likely) eventually Saw X
Runner-up: Starz
Opens in a new window
Similarly, Starz has a more immediate output deal with Lionsgate films, meaning Saw X will probably find its first streaming home on Starz before heading over to Peacock. Starz is also home to seven of the existing saw films. The only difference is the cost. Currently, Starz is offering a $5/month for your first month. That gives you just enough time to watch all seven Saw films in its library. Unfortunately, after your first month, the cost will jump to $9.99/month, making it less attractive for long-term viewing.
Films included: Saw, Saw II, Saw III, Saw IV, Saw V, Saw VI, Saw: The Final Chapter, eventually Saw X
Best for Jigsaw: Amazon Prime Video
Opens in a new window
The eighth film in the Saw franchise, Jigsaw, is currently only available to stream on Amazon Prime Video or MGM+. It can’t ever be easy, can it? Amazon Prime Video was also home to six other Saw films, but as of Nov. 1, they’re no longer available for streaming. Fortunately, both Prime Video and MGM+ offer free trials, so you can sign up, stream Jigsaw, then cancel before incurring any charges. Prime Video offers a 30-day free trial (if you haven’t been a customer in the last 12 months) before charging $14.99/month for Prime or $8.99/month for Prime Video only. MGM+ offers a seven-day free trial before you’ll have to pay $5.99/month. In either case, be sure to cancel before your trial ends if you don’t want to pay full price.
Films included: Jigsaw
Best for Spiral: From the Book of Saw (2021): Hulu
Opens in a new window
Regardless of how you feel about Chris Rock’s Spiral: From the Book of Saw, it’s still considered part of the Saw franchise as the ninth installment. The 2021 horror flick is currently only available to watch on Hulu. The good news is Hulu offers a free 30-day trial to new and returning users, which gives you enough time to tune into Spiral and cancel before being charged the $7.99 monthly fee.
Films included: Spiral: From the Book of Saw
Other ways to watch the Saw movies online
If you only want to watch individual films in the franchise or just can’t fathom signing up for another streamer, you can also rent or purchase the films directly from digital retailers like Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV+, Vudu, and more. Generally, it costs $3.99 to rent each film and $5.99 to purchase a digital copy in UHD or 4K (if available), but Amazon Prime Video has each film available at a discounted rate if you’re a Prime member. Pro tip: Saw and Spiral are currently available to rent for free (at the time of writing) for Prime members.
Note: rentals give you 30 days to watch and 48 hours after you start the film.
