TODAY’S BEST TECH DEALS
NordVPN is one of the most widely-acclaimed VPN services out there and has been downloaded en masse by our readers during past deals. The service lets you connect up to six simultaneous devices and access 5,871 servers worldwide, with no logs kept of your actions.
Right now, the best deal is to spring for three years of service and save 70% off of the regular monthly price. You’ll have to spend $126 to do so, but at least then you won’t have to think about it again until 2023!

If during quarantine you’ve found it difficult to keep the pictures on social media fresh you’re not alone. Using the same places or angles where you have space or good light has made things a bit dull. SideDeal is giving you the chance to boost your selfie game with this ten-piece set for just $19.
If you’re a bit of a solo photo taker this is a great set. I personally have bought a few of these individually and I wished I had seen something like this first. I can absolutely say the remote for the shutter is worth it alone. The tripod is also essential if you do a bit of OOTD (that’s outfit of the day) shooting. But get creative and play around with the three lenses too. You’re getting a wide-angle, fisheye, and macro zoom lens in this pack so plenty to shoot in pursuit of the perfect picture.
If you’ve read a few of our pieces on SideDeal before and you like what you’ve seen they offer a $5 monthly fee to get free shipping on all of your orders no matter how many. Otherwise, it’s a flat rate of $8.
We’re all trying to find new ways to occupy our time that aren’t heartbreaking or mind-numbing. For some people, that might be crocheting, for others it’s picking up doodling or just catching up on that stack of books they’ve been meaning to check out. For others, it means trying new things outdoors. If you’re looking to venture into fitness tracking, and would rather have a dedicated tracker than something like an Apple Watch, you can get Garmin’s Instinct GPS watch for $250 at REI, saving you $50.
A tracker like this might seem like a gimmicky runner’s gadget, but it can do way more than just track your steps. You can set starting points, and the Instinct will navigate you back there once you’ve finished your hike or jog. It’ll also monitor your heart rate, activity, and stress levels, giving you plenty of metrics to measure how much progress you’ve made.
Sure, sometimes it seems like you’ve reached the end of Netflix’s good content, but there’s still plenty of great movies and TV shows to watch while we’re stuck indoors. Now’s a good time to get started on FX’s Mrs. America, or you could always give Middleditch and Schwartz a try if you need a good laugh. Right now, you can get a Roku Ultra HDR 4K for $80 at B&H Photo, saving you $20, which you could always use to rent Uncut Gems and watch it with the family this weekend.
You’ve bankrupted your last three Monopoly games, and you utterly embarassed yourself the last time you played truth-or-dare. Let’s try something different: SideDeal has four table top games for one low cost of $69.
You’ll get miniaturized versions of pool, foosball, skeeball, and air hockey. All that’s left to buy are shot glasses for the inevitable drinking games you’ll come up with. Add better health insurance while you’re at it. You know … just in case you’re bad at those, too.
Whether you’re new to Kingdom Hearts or you’re interested in owning all the games at the best quality, the Kingdom Hearts All-In-One Package is a fantastic deal. It includes ten Kingdom Hearts experiences, including games and cinematic content, and Amazon has it for just $40 today. Here’s everything you’ll get in the package:
- Kingdom Hearts Final Mix
- Kingdom Hearths Re: Chain of Memories
- Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days (HD Remastered cinematics)
- Kingdom Hearts 2 Final Mix
- Kingdom Hearts Birth By Sleep Final Mix
- Kingdom Hearts Re:code (HD Remastered cinematics)
- Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance HD
- Kingdom Hearts 0.2 Birth by Sleep – a fragmentary passage
- Kingdom Hearts X Back Cover (movie)
I may be alone in this, but I’d buy it for Chain of Memories alone. That game was dope, and I don’t care who cares.
Have you seen The Witcher on Netflix? Now you can experience that fantasy world on Switch with The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt.
Recently ported to Switch with all of the bonus content bundled in, The Witcher 3 is one of the most critically-acclaimed role-playing adventures of all time. It’s an enormous, open-world epic that you can surely sink months into, if you please. It’s $15 off right now.
Collection of Mana (Nintendo Switch) | $25 | Amazon
Ready to cut your teeth on another JRPG after reaching the credits in Final Fantasy VII Remake? Try three. Collection of Mana—which includes an English-translated Trials of Mana (Seiken Densetsu 3 in Japan), Final Fantasy Adventure, and Secret of Mana—is down to $25 on Amazon, 38% below the list price. Like a traditional Final Fantasy game infused with The Legend of Zelda, the Mana games are top down and feature a real-time action combat system.
You’ll complete puzzles, crawl through dungeons, learn spells, and acquaint yourself with townspeople who you can also murder. Then, if you’re so inclined, Trials of Mana was remade for Switch as well, complete with gorgeous 3D graphics and an upright third-person point of view. Depending on your party, certain plot events will differ, so choose wisely and enjoy more than 70 hours of purely fantastical bliss set to an ear worm OST you won’t be able to forget.
Back when I worked at [redacted], I was tasked with reviewing a previous version of the keyboard pictured here, the $160, metal-plated and mechanical Roccat Vulcan 120 AIMO, designed to showcase the company’s impressive “Titan” switches and naturally concave keycaps. Fast forward two years and its successor, the Roccat Vulcan 121 AIMO, is down to $120 on Amazon and well worth the price if you ask me.
The main difference between this and the model I reviewed appears to be the availability of Titan Red switches, as opposed to the Browns that were customary before. Both versions are included in this discount, so pick up the Reds if you prefer a linear keystroke or grab the Browns if you’re looking for tactility. Either way, there’s something here for you, and once we’re back to work, your coworkers will appreciate the continued silence.
Nearing the end of your PlayStation Plus subscription? It would normally cost you $60, but thanks to CDKeys, you can add a whole year to your account for just $31. PlayStation Plus is required for online play and cloud saves, but there are other premium benefits like free games, exclusive discounts, and Share Play. It doesn’t look like these shut-ins will go away quickly and quietly, so if you’re planning on filling your newfound time with a spot of gaming, PS+ is an absolute necessity.
This story was originally published by Quentyn Kennemer on 4/08/2020 and updated by Gabe Carey with new information on 5/19/2020.
Feeling nostalgic? You can feed that 16-bit void in your heart with a Sega Genesis Mini, a reincarnation of the classic console that helped save the gaming industry. For $50—not the lowest we’ve ever seen, but close—it comes with 42 games, including crowd favorites like Sonic, Mega Man, Ecco the Dolphin, Earthworm Jim, Virtua Fighter, Shinobi III, Street Fighter 2, Toe Jam & Earl, Altered Beast, Gunstar Heroes … need I go on?
If you’re an Animal Crossing fan, you’ve probably been looking forward to the Animal Crossing: New Horizons Official Companion Guide. This book from Future Press is practically an encyclopedia for the game, but it was delayed for a while (no doubt because of COVID), and then eventually sold out. However, you can now order the $20 guide again! It’s still listed as out of stock, but if you’re more patient than the Amazon users that review bombed the page, you can order now and get a copy as soon as it’s back in stock.
The Nintendo Switch is finally getting its first Paper Mario RPG July 17. Dubbed Paper Mario: The Origami King, you’ll play as Mario and his new pal Olivia in a classic search-and-rescue story for none other than—you guessed it—Princess Peach. Seriously, can someone get her some self defense lessons already?
Pre-order Paper Mario: The Origami King for $60 at Amazon, and you’ll be in line to receive it the day the game launches.
Don’t forget that if the price drops between now and release date, Amazon will automatically adjust your total for the discount. Plus, Amazon doesn’t charge until it ships, so you have enough time to rush through a couple more of your current games before you’ll need to trade them, especially since you won’t be able to put this one down.
Soulcalibur VI: Season Pass | $15 | Amazon
Need to beat some people up? Beat down some enemies and practice proper social distancing standards with Soulcalibur VI! The fighting game is on sale on the PS4 for just $20 on Amazon, and better yet, the PS4 Season Pass if $15 (usually $25)! So, you can get the complete Soulcalibur experience for $35, and that’s a pretty nice price.
One of the premier “fighting people with weapons” series, Soulcalibur VI is a blast to play, but it’s probably most well-known for its extensive character creator. People have… uh, made some pretty interesting things in it:
If character creation isn’t your thing, though, this fighting game has two meaty story modes to work through—one of them long enough to more than justify the purchase price. And, of course, you can go online afterwards and probably get trashed by the competition! What? That’s just me? Well… it’s still fun.
TODAY’S BEST HOME DEALS
This is a fact—those of us who are privileged to work from home will be doing so for the foreseeable future. Even once we start going back into the office, chances are you’ll only be going in a couple of days a week. That’s why, if you’re anything like me, you’ve been desperately looking for better WFH equipment without breaking the bank.
Enter Branch Furniture, the fast-growing startup offering premium office furniture for less. Their staple bestseller, the Branch Ergonomic Chair, equips you with comfort and quality while remaining on budget. You can buy it right now for 20% off at just $279, with free (and fast) shipping included! Their even more budget-friendly option, the Branch Task Chair, is down to $199 from $269 with free shipping. And, if you make a purchase and refer a friend, you’ll get a FREE stationery set from Baronfig, courtesy of Branch, which includes a sleek hardcover notebook and pen.
If those options don’t do it for you, you can also choose from an office desk that is $495, a supercharged standing desk for $815, a small filing cabinet for $155, and a modern Guest Chair for $395. Grab these before they’re gone!
Are you wanting a bit more versatility in your cooking options? Well, for a decent $53 using the promo code KJMRTHA, you can get the Martha Stewart pressure cooker. It’s 8 quarts and has 14 preset programs so you can always ensure that your food is nice, tender, and ready to eat. Just think about the culinary possibilities! I’d grab one before it’s gone.
If you want to keep track of all the goings-on in and around your car at all times, consider an Anker dual dash cam. It’s $90 with a promo code and a clipped coupon. It records in 1080p and automatically records your driving route, location, and speed so you’ll never get lost. Not to mention it has a parking mode, so it can be a sense of security 24 hours a day.
Even more impressive, this dash cam automatically records 10 seconds before a car crash, and 20 seconds after so you’ll have access to what really happened. No more “he said she said” over here. Grab this before it’s gone!
Pillows are an easy way to brighten up or revive a room. Wayfair currently has over 9,000 decorative pillows and throws on sale for you to do just that.
There are even a few heated blankets leftover from last season but you never know if a cool summer night could hit and you need to fire one up. I do get curious about rediculous things on sale when these deals occur. My pick for this one is a gold leather pillow that’s was once $700 but you can have now for just $290. :Insert crying laughing emoji:
But there really are some beautiful pieces and greats discounts to easily breathe some new life into rooms we have been spending a lot more time in. I like this abstract lumbar one and the texture of this chevron pillow is super chic. Grab a few, save some money, and happy decorating.
Free shipping on orders over $35.
It can be hard to find the right TV stand to suit your living space without costing too much. Sure, you want something that fits your room’s vibe and looks nice, but you also don’t want to wince when you see your total at checkout. Still, if your TV’s been sitting on the floor as you settle into your new apartment, or you’re ready to get rid of your old hand-me-down from a long-moved-out roommate, these Ameriwood TV Stands are on sale on Amazon right now for up to $25 off. If you’re looking for a more modern aesthetic, the Galaxy TV stand will support TV’s of up to 65”, has a mount for your TV and two shelves for storing media or a couple plants if you like, and it’s down to $107 right now. If you need something that’ll fit snugly into the corner of the room and has a more traditional look, the Southlander Corner in espresso is down to $104.
Why the hell does a water sprinkler have to be smart? I’ll tell you why: Because water is damn expensive, and if you have a big lawn, you’ll want to save as much of it as possible. Rachio’s R3e sprinkler has eight sprinkler zones, WiFi connectivity for remote control, and it supports voice control with Alexa. Amazon has it for $130 today.
Rachio uses a bundle of sensors to determine the best automatic watering schedules, including rain and wind detectors, saturation monitors, and more. It also takes into account your lawn type, plants, soil type, and how much sun your lawn gets on a daily basis. That means it’ll only water at the most optimal time without drowning your lawn, all of which should positively impact the water bill and eventually pay for itself.
All that rain, sleet, snow, and hail from the wintry months should have subsided by now. If your house’s attractiveness can’t survive another round, a new coat of paint may be in order, and Magnum’s paint sprayer makes it easy. At Home Depot, save $31 on the unit for $204 total, shipping included. It supports multiple different types of coating, has multiple spray speeds, and comes with everything you need to get started save for the paint itself.
Solar power is a great alternative to electricity as you well know and this water fountain takes full advantage. It floats and would be a nice touch to any place you put it in and around your home. Once $60 you can grab this with its variety of heads for just $29.
This is a nice addition to your backyard for a birdbath, pond, pool, or garden. It comes with three easily interchangeable heads to create a variety of water streams. Depending on where you are placing these the water flow can be a light shower to a more forceful jet of h2o. The highly efficient panels powered by sunshine mean no fuss with batteries. This also means it will run as long as it’s shining out.
If you’ve read a few of our pieces on MorningSave before and you like what you’ve seen they offer a $5 monthly fee to get free shipping on all of your orders no matter how many. Otherwise, it’s a flat rate of $8.
Jackery SolarSaga 60W Solar Panel | $180 | Amazon
When the lights go out, who’s there to save you? Jackery, apparently. With its Explorer 160 backup station down 15% on Amazon, you can worry about power outages no longer and get back to worrying about the economy instead. Since many of us are working from home now, power outages can take a significant toll on our livelihoods. Worse yet, they can keep us from the distractions that make leisure time bearable in a time devoid of physical escapes.
On that note, while the $93 Jackery portable power station may not be the difference between life and death, it will spare you preventable agony, which is just as important when you think about it. This 46,400mAh rig fuels phones, tablets, laptops, and yes, your Nintendo Switch with ease. Plus you can pair it with the portable and foldable SolarSaga 60W panel for the ultimate eco-friendly supercharge. Snap ‘em up together for $273.
With Memorial Day fast on the way, it can’t hurt to revamp your patio. Summer cookouts and lounging in sunlight are some of the best things about the hotter months. I’m very lucky to have a backyard and even if it’s just me and my dog I want comfortable while catching a few rays. For the next six days, Wayfair is offering up to 65% off their patio furniture.
A good umbrella is crucial. We like the sun but we don’t like sunburns. This one even has LED bulbs to light up a cool night. Enjoying a cold beverage and relaxing in an Adirondack chair is the height of summertime luxury. A cute bar cart to roll said beverages out on adds a touch of class. And of course, a hammock chair is the only way to tackle your “to read” pile. There are over 300 pieces in this sale so there’s plenty to choose from to spruce your space.
Free shipping on orders over $35. This sale ends May 24.
Ring Spotlight Cam w/ Echo Dot | $169 | Amazon
Today, you can get yourself two Ring Spotlight cameras for $338 ($110 off), with a free Amazon Echo Dot thrown in for good measure.

Parenthood is sweet, but not knowing what your newborn is doing (they’re probably sleeping) while you’re in another part of the house is anxiety-inducing.
