Amazon's October Prime Day kicks off Tuesday, Oct. 8. But other retailers -- like Best Buy -- and services have also slashed their prices in response. This means there are more ways to save on everything from essentials and potential holiday gifts. You can even save on unique subscriptions such as this lifetime subscription to Curiosity Stream for just $160, a savings of 60%. StackSocial doesn't specify an end date, but this deal is marked as expiring soon so it's best to act fast.
If you're a fan of documentaries, it's worth checking out Curiosity Stream. The list price for the lifetime account is $400 at StackSocial, so you're saving 60%. The current price of $160 is the equivalent of paying the annual price for the service ($40) for four years, so you're saving money from that point onward. By buying a lifetime subscription, you're not only saving yourself from recurring fees in perpetuity if you wanted to keep using the service but also shielding yourself from any future price rises.
There are so many different streaming services around these days that it can be difficult to keep track of them all. You're probably already paying for services that offer movies, TV shows and sports. Curiosity Stream offers an ever-growing catalog of factual content. This lifetime deal lets you skip the recurring monthly fee for it too.
From history to deep space to the wilds of nature, this streaming service gives you instant access to award-winning, educational digital content. Launched by Discovery Communications founder John Hendricks, Curiosity Stream delivers documentaries that cover a wide range of topics. Learn about deep space from Stephen Hawking, experience an excavation at Pompeii and travel the world experiencing new places -- from remote jungles to European cities -- all without leaving home. There are regular content updates too, so we're betting it would take you more than a lifetime to watch it all.

The Curiosity Stream standard plan includes streaming and downloadable content, so you can watch movies offline when needed. It's easy to search, bookmark or resume viewing, and the service is compatible with mobile and desktop devices, as well as smart TVs, though if you plan to use an older device, you'll want to double-check the system requirements before your purchase. For example, requirements include Android and Android TV 5.0 and up, iOS 11 and up, Apple TV third-gen (and earlier via AirPlay) and Xbox One, among others. Just be sure to redeem the offer code within 30 days of purchase.
