Score AirPods for $89, plus other sweet sales

There’s a reason AirPods always sell out: They’re seriously awesome. Sure, everyone might rave about AirPods Pro, but those cost a pretty penny. These second-generation AirPods provide a comparable level of sound, are easy to use and just plain look great. What’s more, their charging case slips easily into a pocket or purse (you might even forget it’s in there!), and each charge delivers three hours of audio heaven. Forty bucks off a pair of these stellar buds is music to our ears too.

This one also uses the ultra-simple Roku smart TV interface, which offers the full slate of streaming apps. Yes, the kids can play endless YouTube videos on a bigger screen in their room, but its size also makes it perfect for the kitchen, den, even the RV. Access your fave subscription streaming services or check out one of the many totally free services on offer, like Tubi. 

Remember the days when you would snap photos with an instant camera, proudly take the roll of film to the drug store and wait a week (sometimes even just an hour!) to see the prints?

Add fun filters and share the digital pics or connect this cutie to a compatible Instax printer or camera to get prints in seconds. It’s like Instagram come to life.

Those Minions never looked so good! It’s your own drive-in theater at home, a great way to cap off a fall barbecue. Alternately, bring the man-cave outdoors and invite the neighbors over for some prime-time football. Of course, it works inside too — you’ll just need a dark room or an after-sunset start time.

One recent buyer grabbed this TV for their family for Christmas and is pleased with the “sharp and clear” picture, while another praises the built-in speakers for great out-of-the-box sound. With the money you save, you might want to add a Samsung Q series soundbar to create an even more immersive experience.
