It's Black Friday! By now you've scoured all the sales and might already be recovering from a TV purchase (or two). But what if, instead of just saving money, you also got dirt cheap or free stuff? That's the kind of deal that makes me dive for the Pay Now button.
In this case, one plus one equals one.
My favorite deal of the bunch today is on my favorite Bluetooth tracker. While the Tile Sport might be previous gen tech (the latest Tile finders have replaceable batteries), it's still the most stylish of any Tile. A two-pack is $35, that hasn't changed. But today only, you can grab a two-pack with Amazon's favorite loss-leader, the new Echo Dot! With 7 far field microphones and an exterior casing that's 100% more attractive than the 2nd Gen's "hockey puck" look, this is the smart speaker to get today.
I can finally begin to assemble my Robo-army!
Running a close second to the Tile/Dot deal is this gem from Neato. Their Botvac D7 is the latest and greatest robovac, with laser guidance and app assistance that lets you set virtual no-go lines. It works better than any robovac I've ever owned and has made all the difference in keeping my house clean (well...cleaner). But it still can't climb stairs or hop to a different level of your house.
While you can set up multiple zones in the app, it's a lot easier to just have a second bot. So not only is Neato taking $100 off the price of the D7 on their website, if you buy one from them anytime between now and Monday the 26th, Neato is throwing in a second Botvac D3 for free! The D3 is a little smaller and doesn't have quite the battery life of the D7, but if you're using it upstairs or in a bonus room, you won't have all that much space to vacuum anway. And any time you can get a $400 robovac for free, that's a good day.
I will readily admit, there aren't a lot of cases I like for my iPhone. I drank deep from the Kool-Aid cup when Steve Jobs said his devices would never need cases (despite the cracked screens and dented cases my devices have all sported). When I do begrudgingly admit the need for a case, I use Otterbox. Not just because they're durable (they're the only ones my teenage son can't destroy), but because they're wonderfully stylish. The new Star Wars cases for the iPhone 7 and 8 are the best they've ever produced (I'm partial to the R2-D2 one myself). If you have an XR and have been having trouble finding cases, Otterbox has filled the gap that Apple has left. Their Symmetry series cases are not only attractive, but they have matching Popsockets!
The trio that's going to ensure you actually make it through Black Friday.
And if you need a break from all of this shopping, Otterbox's outdoor line includes insulated Wine Tumblers and 36 oz. Tumblers so that you can unwind and recharge for the next wave on Cyber-Monday. The best part is that today everything on the entire site is 25% off. No codes to snip, no minimum requirements to meet. Just got to the site, add what you want to your cart, and check out. That's the kind of no-brainer sale I prefer.
You can't spell "cyber" without "r"...and an "e?" OK, this didn't go the way I thought it would.
If you prefer to unwind with a little mobile fragging, then you should check out this Razer Phone deal. With a high end display and sound that's unparalleled by any other mobile phone, the original Razer Phone had a lot going for it in its chunky little rectangle case. If you wanted to try it out, but didn't want to take the plunge at $699, you can grab one today for $399 instead. It's a solid deal on a fun phone. You can grab the Razer Phone (as well as tons of additional Razer-exclusive deals) on their Cyber-Weekend page.
Enjoy these deals and keep an eye out for more as Cyber-Monday creeps ever closer. I'll be back with more off-the-beaten-path deals that catch my eye.
