Top Deals

On Sunday, Amazon started running a $20 off promotion on the 8GB Fire HD 6, which was already one of the best sub-$100 tablets you can buy. As of this morning though, the discount is also available on the 16GB model with the same FIREHD6 promo code.

This tablet is a steal at its usual $70-$90, but this discount actually brings the 8GB model’s price down to match the entry-level Fire Tablet, which has a worse (albeit slightly larger) screen, a slower processor, and less battery life. I could think of worse stocking stuffers.

Just in time for Deals Week, Amazon’s discounting 1-year Prime memberships to $79, this Friday only.

In the past, there have been loopholes for existing members to take advantage of these sporadic Prime discounts, but we don’t suspect that will be the case this time around. That said, if you still haven’t signed up for an account, this is a fantastic opportunity.

Need convincing? We’ve compiled a (rapidly expanding) list of benefits you get with your membership, including free two day shipping, access to thousands of streaming TV shows and movies, 20% off video games, free Kindle ebooks, and a whole lot more. It really is the best deal in tech.

If you have any notable absences in your tool box, Amazon’s kicked off a collection of early Black Friday deals to help you flesh out your collection.

You can choose from $25 off a $100 order of Makita, Dewalt, or Bosch tools. The first two include thousands of eligible items, and Bosch encompasses over 150, so you shouldn’t have any trouble filling your cart. Just order $100 of goods from one manufacturer (shipped and sold by Amazon.com), and you’ll see the discount at checkout.

Let us know what you picked up in the comments!

Love ‘em or hate ‘em, it seems Crocs are here to stay. If you want to get a pair of your own, head over to Amazon and check out their sale on Crocs shoes right now. There’s a pair for everyone in the family as well, if that’s something that interests you.

SSDs are obviously great upgrades for PCs with spinning hard drives, but it’s also really easy and affordable to turn one into a high performance external drive. Crucial’s MX300 275GB SSD is marked down to $60 today, an all-time low.

Update: The 525GB model is also available for $105.

Much of the country could use a little escapism right about now, so Amazon’s throwing us all a lifeline with big discounts on Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul box sets, including the Breaking Bad Barrel, which is the best Blu-ray packaging ever conceived by mankind.

Only the first season of Better Call Saul is on sale, but you can choose from DVD, Blu-ray, and a Collector’s Edition. The same goes for Breaking Bad, though you’ll get the entire series.

Finding Dory was better than it had any right to be, and even though it only came out on video yesterday, Prime members can already get the Blu-ray/DVD/Digital combo for $15. If you have any young fans of the film on your holiday shopping list, this is a great chance to cross them off.

If only the best will do, you can save $30 on a bare PS4 Pro console today, with no sales tax for most buyers.

We suspect we’ll see a few PS4 Pro bundle deals around Black Friday, including one that includes Street Fighter and Watch Dogs 2 for $400, but if a cash discount takes precedent over bonus games for you, there’s no reason to wait.

Bodum’s pour-over coffee maker is as beautiful as it is functional, and Amazon’s marked it back down to $17 today, matching the best price they’ve ever listed on the 34 ounce model. Hopefully, you take your coffee makers like you take your coffee: Black. Because that’s the only color on sale today.

Assuming your computer can handle it at 60Hz, your next monitor should probably be 4K, and BuyDig’s offering big savings on two different LG IPS panels today.

The 24" for $280 (with code 4KPRO) compares favorably to the popular Dell P2415Q, which currently sells for $80 more, and $379 for a 27" (with code AFPRO2X60) is only slightly more than you’d pay for a TN panel, but with the color accuracy and viewing angle advantages of IPS.

One day, everything will be wireless. Until then, we have to make do with cable organizers like these. But hey, at least they’re cheap.

$10 gets you a 6-pack of zippable, 20" sleeves, which are great for keeping cords organized behind your desk, while the $9 clips can secure the ends of those cables to your desk, so they don’t fall and get lost. Just be sure to note the promo codes below.

If you missed out on on last month’s wiper blade sale, Amazon will sell you two Michelin Stealth blades today for $20. Just add any two to your cart (shipped and sold by Amazon.com), and the price will automatically be reduced to $20 at checkout. The deal even works if you buy two different sized blades, so you should have no trouble finding a combination that fits your car.

At this point, there’s little reason to buy a Bluetooth speaker that isn’t water resistant, and you can choose from three different sizes today from AOMAIS, all with IPX7 ratings. Just be sure to note the promo codes.

Update: The code for the largest speaker is no longer working.

Jackery’s Thunder battery packs include Quick Charge 3.0, and both the 10,050mAh and 20,100mAh varieties are marked down to their lowest prices today. Just pick your favorite size, and be sure to use promo code JTHUNDER at checkout.

If you’ve tried an unamplified HDTV antenna (like the standard Mohu Leaf), but can’t quite pull in every channel you want, this leaf-style model includes a USB-powered amp that should add a few miles of range. Promo code TVANBB15 brings it down to just $15, which is one of the best prices we’ve ever seen on an amplified antenna.

The transition from USB-A to USB-C is going to be slow and painful, but at least it doesn’t have to be expensive. Two A-to-C cables for $7 is one of the best prices we’ve seen, especially considering they’re both 6' long.

This seemingly basic remote might not look like much at first blush, but it can actually control eight of your favorite home theater devices, and even turn your smartphone into a universal remote as well.

You’re probably used to seeing Logitech Harmony remotes with screens built-in, but it turns out that you already carry a much better screen in your pocket. So in addition to controlling your TV, cable box, game console, stereo, and more from the remote itself, the Logitech Harmony Smart Control can now do the same from your iPhone or Android from anywhere in the house. That’s especially handy when your favorite show is about to start and you can’t find the remote anywhere. Today’s $70 price is the best we’ve ever seen, but it’s only available today.

It’s also available for the same price on eBay, if Amazon sells out.

Gerber’s 4.5 star-rated paraframe knife features a minimalist handle that keeps weight to a minimum, and a deal that keeps is price to a minimum. The only catch is that it’s an add-on item, but these would make great stocking stuffers, so you can hit the $25 order minimum by buying a bunch of them.

Find yourself going through more wine lately? Yeah, me too. Luckily, this 12-bottle countertop chiller is only $109 today on Amazon. You can set the temperature anywhere from 50 to 66 degrees, and the shelves are made of beechwood, which is classy as hell.

If you’re ready to take the plunge into LED lighting, this 6-pack of warm white bulbs from OxyLED is down to just $12 on Amazon right now (with code OXYA19OO), the best per-bulb price we’ve ever seen. They aren’t dimmable, so you won’t want to put them in certain fixtures, but it’s a great bulk pack for filling out ceiling lights and lamps throughout your house.

Once you’ve got them, check to see if your local utility company offers rebates for purchasing LEDs. If so, it’s possible these could pay for themselves even quicker than they would otherwise.

Update: Here’s a 16-pack of Philips bulbs for $27.

The Casio Protek is as utilitarian as it gets, with four styles ranging from the solar-powered model to the beefed-up resin and stainless steel sports model. Four different styles are party of Amazon’s Gold Box, today only. Grab one today or you’ll very quickly run out of time on this deal.

If Casio isn’t your speed and you’re looking for something a little more streamlined, Timex is also marking down watches 30% with the code PRIVATESALE. The Timex Weekender was one of your top picks for favorite affordable watch, so why not get one when it’s 30% off, plus free shipping? Or, choose from their rather large catalogue of timepieces.

Harman Kardon’s SoHo on-ear headphones were a pretty solid buy in 2013 when they debuted for $200. But for $40, they’re an absolute steal. A few different colors are available today, just be sure to get the one with the correct remote for your phone OS of choice.

10 Cloverfield Lane is an uplifting story where three strangers find an oasis away from all of the world’s problems, and you can rent it in HD for just $1, courtesy of iTunes and Amazon. After you order the rental, you’ll have 30 days to start watching, so there’s no need to rearrange your plans tonight.

We see a lot of deals on IR thermometers, but the Etekcity Lasergrip has been one of the most popular through the years. These things are perfect for everything from cooking to finding air conditioning leaks in your house, but most importantly, they’re just a ton of fun to mess around with.

You don’t see a ton of products on Amazon with over 5,000 reviews, but this Waste King garbage disposal manages a 4.6 star average from a boatload of customers, and it’s marked down to $95 right now, the best price we’ve seen outside of a couple of Gold Box deals.

When it comes to having a corner on the market, nothing really compares to Nike. And right now, they’re marking down a select number of styles up to 50% during their 48-hour flash sale. Check out a bunch of items, from sneakers to running gear, to sweatpants, and hop on that sportswear bandwagon.

Mrs. Meyer’s plant-based hand soap is normally quite a bit more expensive than the competition, but with this 20% Amazon coupon, it’s priced just right. Each variety includes three bottles, so just pick your favorite scent, and you’ll see the discount at checkout.

It’s almost already holiday decorating season, and these great-looking crystal ball solar string light strands will only set you back $10 each today, in three different colors. And with a built-in solar panel, you won’t even have to worry about plugging them in.

Not only does this 6-quart Crock-Pot come with a digital timer to program cooking times, it also ships with an adorable 16 ounce heated dipper to serve dips and sauces at the table. $30 would be a great price for the Crock-Pot on its own, so be sure to dip into this deal before it sells out.

If you own pets, but don’t want to own a colony of ants, you need to keep your kibble locked up tight. IRIS’s airtight pet food container kit is a bestseller on Amazon, and you can own it for an all-time low $13 today, complete with a smaller bin for cat food or treats.

Life’s too short to vacuum every other day, but luckily, you can pawn that tedious chore off to a Roomba, and the entry level 650 model is marked down to $274 today on Amazon, which is $16 less than its previous lowest price.

While it does require a bit of babysitting from time to time, I haven’t vacuumed my house manually in months, and yet the floors always feel clean, even with two pets.
