TL;DR: The clutch Google Home Mini and Chromecast Smart TV Kit is on sale for $60, saving you $14 (or $24, if you bought them separately at full price).
When you get home from a long day at work, the only thing you want to do is flop on the couch — even digging for the TV remote or choosing a streaming app is too much of a task.
Make being lazy even easier and grab a Google Home Mini and Chromecast Smart TV Kit, regularly $74 but on sale for $60 at Walmart. (There’s even free next-day delivery, because apparently Walmart does that now.)
Add the convenience of Google Assistant to any room with the inconspicuous Google Home Mini. Without even standing up, you can control your home’s smart thermostat, turn off lights, play music, set alarms, and use thousands of other skills.
With Chromecast, you can mirror whatever’s playing on your phone or tablet to the TV. WiFi not working on your smart TV? Cast it through your phone. Only have someone’s Netflix password on your phone? Cast that shit. Paired with the Google Home Mini, you can ask Google Assistant to pause the show, skip to the next episode, or say “Hey Google, play Stranger Things.”
Bonus: As of July 2019, Amazon Prime Video is (finally) supported on Chromecast.
Regularly $74 for the bundle ($84 if you bought them at full price separately), you can save $14 and get it for $60 with free next day delivery.
