Today’s Best Tech Deals
If you want to build a budget, projector-based home theater, the Nebula Prizm II is a good one to consider, and right now you can get it for just $157.
It’s the perfect option for budget-conscious consumers who want to dip their toes in a different kind of home theater. It regularly sells for around $230, and that price was already a great bargain. Use exclusive code KJPRIZM2 at checkout and the on-page coupon to get it for an all-time low $130, and then start prepping your popcorn.
If you want a portable, future-proof battery pack, consider this Xcentz 5000mAh 18W PD unit. To be clear, this is designed for smaller devices, like smartphones (charges an iPhone at the maximum possible speed) but it should work on iPads and the Nintendo Switch as well.
It can output and charge via the USB-C port and there’s also a USB-A port for older cable support. This particular battery pack promises to charge an iPhone X up to 1.3x. It comes with a USB-A to USB-C cable.
At $10, this is in impulse buy territory and would make a perfect stocking stuffer. The last time we ran a deal on a battery pack like this, it sold out pretty quickly. So act fast.
Today’s Gold Box is lowering the price on a number of PC gaming products. Inside, you’ll find a number of laptops, keyboards, mice and RAM to level up your game play.
For what it’s worth, I think the Razer Naga Trinity Gaming Mouse for $55 is a terrific buy and matches the lowest price we’ve seen. The 16GB Crucial Ballistix Memory Kit is also down to its lowest price ever.
Just remember that these deals are only available today, and the best stuff could sell out early. Of course, there’s a bunch of gear here, so make sure to visit the main page to see all of your options.
Today’s Gold Box offers a number of discounts on some of our readers’ favorite Anker products. Highlights include an Soundcore Infini Pro sound bar for $173 and a Soundcore Spirit X Sports Earphones for $22.
Just remember that these discounts are only available for one day, and the best stuff could sell out early. And there’s a bunch of speakers, headphones and soundbars here, so make sure to visit the deal page to see all of your options.
Do you have a few stockings to stuff this Christmas? Do yourself a favor and get a pair of cheap, but still good, headphones to pop right into that giant red sock. These TaoTronics Bluetooth Earbuds are only $10 on Amazon when you clip the $2 coupon and use promo code KINJA070. These earbuds have a 120mAh battery that streams music wirelessly for up to 9 hours, with only 2 hours of charge.
The best iPad for everyone is back down to just $250 at Best Buy and Target. Unless you really need an iPad Pro, the latest generation tablet is the perfect machine for all the iPad things you want. This model packs a 10.2-inch display, first-gen Apple Pencil support, Smart Connector capabilities for better accessories, and 3GB of RAM.
$249 for 32GB is an awesome price for the 32GB model, and $330 on the 128GB model, which gives you a bit more storage wiggle room, is also a terrific deal. If you missed the Black Friday sale, this is a good time to buy. If this is a prospective gift for someone, make sure to order soon so it’ll arrive by Christmas.
With excellent noise cancellation and terrific sound quality to boot, Apple’s brand new Apple AirPods Pro are one of the best new tech products of the year and top many people’s wish lists for the holidays.
Gizmodo says that the sound quality is “dramatically better than the regular AirPods” and the noise canceling helps improve sound quality but doesn’t necessarily silence the outside world.
This current $235 is probably the best we’ll see this year. The Apple AirPods Pro are currently back-ordered, but, if you’re lucky, you’ll have them on time for the holidays.
If you’re cool with buying used products, it could pay off in a big way. Amazon Warehouse is marking down thousands of used items for 20% off their already low prices. The discounts are hitting a ton of different categories, from video game consoles, clothes, headphones, monitors and more.
Chances are we could all use something from this sale. Just a heads up, pay attention to the condition details (stay away from just “good,”) you need to make sure it’s sold by Amazon Warehouse and the discount will be shown at checkout. But don’t wait too long, there’s a limited supply, so if you want something, think Ariana Grande (“I See It, I Like It, I Want It, I Got It, etc.”)
Here’s a few I found interesting (you may need to click the “Available from these sellers” link to see the used options).
Today’s Best Home Deals
Update: It’s back! Just in case you missed it last week.
All foods are better fried, but because the world is a cruel place, fried foods are bad for you. If you are looking to eat fried guilt-free, look no further than this Dash AirCrisp Pro Air Fryer, now down to $70. This 3 qt. air fryer which uses hot air instead of oil to make everything extra crispy.
It’s technically an oven, so it’s also a great tool for cooking frozen foods.
At $70, it’s the lowest price we’ve ever seen. Order up one in either black, aqua, or red, before this deal becomes stale.
If you want one that can (air) fry up an entire chicken, there’s a discount on a Dash Chef Series Air Fry Oven, too.
Still haven’t gotten Christmas lights for your home? What the hell are you waiting for? Snag a 33-foot-long strand of MINGER Fairy String Lights for only $6 when you use promo code 6YZLHHYR. The LED lights come with a two-way control that you can use with your smartphone. The lights have eight scene modes, can operate on a dimmer and timer, and are even IP67 waterproof.
Do you sleep like a human-sized furnace? Give that heat a place to disperse when you sleep, so your pillow is burning hot when you wake up. You can grab yourself a WEEKENDER Ventilated Gel Memory Foam Pillow for $24 (around $12 off) on Amazon. The ventilated cushion design allows for maximum airflow while you’re sleeping.

All the best stuff always sells out early. And, not to be that guy but… there’s only a few weeks until Christmas and you don’t want say “it’s coming in the mail” on the big day.
So visit the deal page to see all of your options during what’s more than likely, REI’s final sale of the year.
Olivers $600 Mystery Box, $275
Looking to get some new workout gear ahead of making your New Year’s Resolution? You can snag some great workout attire, thanks to these Mystery Boxes from Olivers. You can get both boxes for 50% off (or more). The $300 box is $150 and the $600 box is $275.
Each box will include a combination of the following:
- Pants (Passage, Transit, Bradbury, Base Series)
- Shorts (All Over Series, Capital, Base Series, Breakaway, Zuma)
- Tees (Convoy Series, Club, Terminal Series, Varsity)
- Midlayers/Outerwear (Transit, Porter Series, Gate Jacket)
Both Olivers Mystery Boxes are available now through 12/18 (while supplies last).
Do gloves just not cut it for keeping your hands warm during the winter? Get yourself a Zippo Hand Warmer for $11 and your hands will never be cold again. Zippo designed this hand warmer so it is sleek enough to fit into any pocket, big or small.
Just know, this hand warmer needs to be filled with fluid and lit in order to work properly. The fluid is sold separately.
In need of a new coat before the cold weather sets in? Do yourself a favor and shop Jachs’s Puffer Jacket Blowout. You can get a puffer jacket (or vest) starting at only $38 with promo code PFR at checkout. Jachs has a bunch of neutral jacket colors, like navy and olive, and some more adventurous shades, like neon yellow and red.
Today’s Best Media Deals
For some, Batman: The Animated Seriesis the definitive iteration of the caped crusader and right now you can pick it up in its entirety for a low $42 in Blu-ray and digital. You’ll love its beautiful, art deco-inspired animation style and masterful storytelling, plus you get to see Batman punch his way through his entire rogue’s gallery— which is always a treat.
Just remember that this price is only available today, and it will likely sell out before the end of day. So, get yours before The Riddler gets here.
Right now, you can pick up an Echo Dot (3rd Gen) for $1 with a 1 month subscription of Amazon Music Unlimited. Altogether this will cost you about $11 or $9 for Prime members.
This is an amazing deal, considering an Echo Dot will typically cost you $25 on a good day. (Of course, you’re obviously paying with more than cash alone with an Echo device. But if you’re already in the Alexa ecosystem, this is a good buy.)
Just a reminder, after the 1-month promotional subscription period, your subscription automatically renews at $10/month (or $8/month for Prime members) until you cancel.
If you’re a NordVPN customer, you may have heard about a long-undisclosed security breach this week, and thus might be in the market for a new VPN provider. And even if you have no idea what I’m referring to, it might be worth signing up for a VPN service anyway, which can protect your privacy when browsing the web, and even let you access content from certain sites and streaming video providers that aren’t available in your physical location (Love Island, anyone?)
Private Internet Access has long been our readers’ favorite VPN service thanks to its low prices, its speed, and its excellent apps for every major platform. And now with the news of the NordVPN hack, they’re offering the best price we’ve ever seen on an annual subscription: $29 for the whole year. That’s $10 less than it’s been previously, and the best part is that your subscription will renew every year at the same $29 price, as long as you don’t cancel.
Today’s Best Gaming Deals
Today, the physical copy of Civilization VIis down to $20 for the Nintendo Switch. The game has changed quite a bit since its original release, and this is the best price we’ve ever seen. Just be sure to place your order before Gandhi nukes the deal.
Nintendo Switch with Neon Blue and Neon Red Joy-Con + $30 Amazon Credit | $299 | Amazon | Promo code 397BFFA5
Do you like free money? Who doesn’t! If you were planning to get a Nintendo Switch this Christmas, get some Amazon money while you’re at it. Right now, when you get the upgraded Nintendo Switch with Gray Joy-Con or Neon Blue and Neon Red Joy-Con, get $30 Amazon credit when you use promo code D3E2CDJ6GB6S.
If you own a Nintendo Switch, you’ll need a Switch Pro Controller. Whether you’re playing Overwatch or any other competitive game, the Joy-Con simply won’t cut it. While they’re fun, Joy-Con just aren’t comfortable enough to play for long periods of time.
If you want my advice, use the Switch Pro Controller most of the time and save the Joy-Con for when you don’t have any other choice. Better still, this $55 price is the lowest price we’ve ever seen. So get yours today.

Deals You May Have Missed
Running low on concealer? Grab some Shape Tape Concealer while Tarte is hosting a Last Chance Sale. Right now, when you spend $60, you’ll get 25% off your order, plus three free minis. The minis are actually a good deal as well, as you’ll get a lipstick, mascara, and eyeliner. Just use promo code MYGIFT at checkout to snag 25% off and those freebies!
Didn’t get a jersey for your favorite player during Black Friday or Cyber Monday? Don’t worry, it’s not too late! Fanatics currently has an up to 65% off sitewide sale (though the overall savings are more around 20-30% off). To get your discount, just use promo code TWINKLE at checkout.
If you’re looking for a terrific pair of budget ANC, Bluetooth headphones, the Anker Soundcore Life Q20 are just $40 right. Usually selling for about $60, this is the best discount we’ve seen on these particular cans, no coupon code necessary.
In his review, Shep said that these cans are sonically impressive compared to its sub-$100 competitors:
The 40mm drivers are Hi-Res Audio Certified, which depending on who you ask, may or may not mean all that much in practice. What it does mean that the drivers can hit frequencies as high as 40 kHz, and not many Bluetooth headphones in this price range can make that claim. There’s also a “Bass Up” mode which, you guessed it, boosts the bass on demand like you’re wearing Beats circa 2014.
I admit that I like it. Again, they don’t sound as good as a $300 pair of headphones from the big guys, but they’re the best sounding ANC over-ears I’ve tried in this price range, by a decent margin.
These headphones offer Hi-Res Audio, four noise cancelation microphones, Bluetooth 5.0, and excellent battery life (40 hours with ANC and 60 hours without.)
If you’re traveling this holiday season, this is a no-brainer. Pick yours up before these inevitably goes away.
Any competitive gamer worth her salt considers three main things when shopping for a monitor: refresh rate, response time, and price. This $250 Dell 24″ LED QHD G-Sync Gaming Monitor delivers on three.
This G-Sync monitor offers 2560 x 1440 resolution with 16:9 aspect ratio, 1 ms response time, and 165Hz refresh rate. Plus, it offers really thin bezels and both HDMI and DisplayPort inputs.
