• Netflix price increase

    Report: Netflix Poised To Raise Prices Again

    3 Min Read

    Netflix changed the game by becoming a streaming juggernaut for movies and TV shows. Now, the company is positioning itself to raise its monthly fee once again.

    That’s according to Variety, which reports that the streaming service is circling its wagons in pursuit of profits. Netflix last raised its prices in October 2023, when the service jumped to $11.99 for its basic plan.

    Variety cites Netflix’s Q$ 2023 earnings call, in which Netflix co-CEO Greg Peters posited that the U.S. audience may not be averse to a price increase with more offerings.

    “We will continue to monitor other countries and try and assess,” Peters said on the call, “when we’ve delivered enough additional entertainment value” to “ask [customers] to pay a bit more to keep that positive flywheel going and we can invest in more great films, series and games for those members. So, you know, the summary statement might be, ‘Back to business as usual.’”

    Netflix remains #1 in market share when it comes to streaming services in the United States. Among the reasons why include:

    Original Content and Variety

    Netflix offers a wide range of content, including movies, TV shows, documentaries, and original series, catering to a broad audience with diverse interests.

    Netflix has invested heavily in producing original content, which has received critical acclaim and attracted a large viewership. Shows like “Stranger Things,” “The Crown,” and “Narcos” have become hugely popular worldwide.

    User Experience and Convenience

    Netflix allows users to stream content anytime, anywhere, on a variety of devices, making it convenient for people to watch their favorite shows and movies without having to adhere to a traditional TV schedule.

    Netflix provides a user-friendly interface that recommends content based on a user’s viewing history, making it easier for viewers to discover new shows and movies they might enjoy.

    No Commercials and Accessibility

    Unlike traditional TV, Netflix does not interrupt its programming with commercials, offering a more seamless viewing experience.

    Netflix is available in over 190 countries, making it accessible to a large international audience.

    Final Word

    Netflix isn’t the only streaming service raising its prices. Apple TV+ recently did it as well.

    One way to stream the right way is to save money on Netflix.

  • Alexis Morris joins Harlem Globetrotters

    Former LSU Star Signs With Harlem Globetrotters

    4 Min Read

    From the Boot to the Big Apple. Former Louisiana State University (LSU) star and WNBA draftee, Alexis Morris has signed with the Harlem Globetrotters, the team recently announced.

    Morris becomes the seventh woman to join the Globetrotters, the most in the organization’s storied history, as they will prepare to celebrate their centennial in 2026.

    Morris, a dynamic point guard and a top scorer on LSU’s 2023 National Championship team, brings a stellar blend of skill, athleticism, and showmanship to the iconic Harlem Globetrotters.

    “I’m excited to join the Harlem Globetrotters and want to thank the leadership team for giving me an opportunity to grow my personal and professional career while playing the game I love,” said Morris. “There is a lot to learn from my coaches and teammates and I’m excited to highlight the level of basketball and entertainment of the organization. ‘The Show’ is now a part of the growing legacy of Harlem Globetrotters basketball.”

    Morris, who has begun her Harlem Globetrotters training and will be joining the domestic arm of the 2024 Tour, will take to the court for the first time as a Harlem Globetrotter on Friday, February 9, 2024 at the MassMutual Center in Springfield, Massachusetts, the birthplace of basketball and The Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame. Her extensive and rigorous schedule will also include stops at Barclays Center, Brooklyn, NY, on Sunday, February 18 and Madison Square Garden, Manhattan, NY, on Saturday, February 24.

    “The Harlem Globetrotters have a storied history of signing some of the world’s most accomplished and coveted talent; Wilt Chamberlain, Connie Hawkins, ‘Curley’ Neal, Lou Dunbar, Lynette Woodard and now, Alexis Morris,” said Keith Dawkins, President of Harlem Globetrotters. “As the global basketball landscape continues to evolve, the Globetrotters are well positioned to offer unparalleled opportunities for professional basketball players looking to develop, and showcase, their amazing skills, make a positive impact in the community, while also benefitting from the plethora of business opportunities that our brand has to offer them. It’s an opportunity unlike any in sports. Signing Alexis reflects our commitment to pursuing the best ballers from around the world.”

    Morris, known for her exceptional ball-handling and court vision, will take the court with her self-titled moniker, Alexis “The Show” Morris alongside her elite teammates. The Texas native was selected in the second round of the 2023 WNBA Draft by the Connecticut Sun and is currently a free agent. She returned to North America after starting the current season in Turkey with Ilkem Yapi Tarsus of the Turkish women’s Super League. Alexis is believed to be the first athlete to join the Harlem Globetrotters while also entertaining elite professional offers since Connie Hawkins, who played for the team and went on to a Hall of Fame Career with the Phoenix Suns.

    Shewill join the six women athletes who make up the Harlem Globetrotters and the Washington Generals this winter, including Fatima, ‘TNT’ Lister, Cherelle ‘Torch’ George, Arysia ‘Ace’ Porter, Kaylin ‘Sunshine’ West, Eryka ‘Spice’ Sidney, and Kayla Gabor. She joins nine other rookies who joined the 2024 World Tour this season. Fans can expect exclusive content of her time with the team through “My Rookie Season” on Harlem Globetrotters Youtube channel.

    Final Word

    Morris no doubt still has plans to join the WNBA, but the Globetrotters is a great way to increase her brand and continue to play ball, which she enjoys doing. We wish her much success.

    Sports is a part of New Orleans’ culture as well, but so is being active, from going to jazz clubs to the city’s diverse bar scene, from historic cocktail bars to trendy craft beer spots. listening to lie music is a popular nighttime activity, especially in areas like the French Quarter and the Warehouse District.

    How To Save On Groceries Right Now

    3 Min Read

    Grocery prices are sky-high right now and there’s not much we can do about them. However, when it comes to our spending habits, there are quite a few things we can do to tighten our financial belts while grocery shopping.

    Overall, food prices have jumped nearly 10% over the past year, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

    How To Save On Your Groceries

    Here are some of ways you can cut down on your grocery bill.

    Eat Inside More

    Along with your groceries going up, restaurants are raising their prices as well. Instead of going out to eat as much, see if you can cut down and eat at home more often.

    My girlfriend who is a graduate student at Xavier University in New Orleans actually cut down on dining out by relegating one weekend night for restaurant food. Over a two-month span, she saved $300! It can change your life!

    Learn some recipes so that you can save more of your cash. Follow this delicious gumbo recipe.

    Sign Up For Amazon Prime

    Amazon Prime costs $139 a year, but it can save you money on food items that you love. If you have a Whole Foods in your area, you can get a discount on quality items if you’re a Prime member.

    You can also save on bulk items that can be shipped to you in two days or less in some cases.

    Have you tried it? If not, you can sign up for Amazon Prime at Amazon.com/Prime.

    Clip Coupons

    I know what you’re thinking: Clipping coupons is so 1990s, but they continue to be a way you can save on foods you love.

    Grab the weekly ads from your favorite grocery store and cut out all the food items that you like that are on sale. You can also use online coupons from Coupons.com.

    Shop At Discount Stores

    Stay away from the Whole Foods grocery aisles if you’re not an Amazon Prime member! Shop instead at discount grocery stores like Save-A-Lot, Aldi and Lidl, where you can find cheaper items.

    Buy Generic Brands

    One way you can keep more money in your pocket is to buy generic brands rather than the big name brands that are well known.

    Make a list of the name-brand items you love then do a Google search for “[name-brand item] alternatives” and see what comes up. You might find a new favorite brand!

    Final Word

    Although we see the increases in certain foods, we know that our paychecks aren’t increasing at the same rate. That’s why it makes sense to see how we can cut down on our grocery bills.

    Not only will our budgets be healthier, but we could actually lose some pounds.
