TODAY’S BEST TECH DEALs
I’ve been using a pair of Anker’s Soundcore Life P2 since January, and they’ve been fantastic AirPods alternatives. They were down to $50 back then, but Anker has dropped the price down to its lowest ever mark at $45, no code necessary.
These buds feature CVC 8.0 micrphones for noise reduction, 40 hours of total playtime (7 in the buds, the rest in the charger), an IPX7 water rating, and Bluetooth 5.0 AptX for a cleaner wireless connection.
More importantly, these little bundles of plastic acoustical joy deliver powerful sound from the graphene drivers inside. If you’re new to the true wireless game, the Anker Soundcore Life P2 offer a perfect starting point.
Samsung 15W Fast Charger | $60 | Amazon
Samsung Galaxy Buds+ Charging Pad | $150 | Amazon
Hey, are you a Samsung junkie? Well, for a limited time, Amazon is doing you a solid and is offering 20% off its Duo Pad, Fast Charger, and Galaxy Buds (with an added charging pad). So why not charge all your devices and listen to music in style? Grab em’ before they’re gone!
How many USB ports does one need? As many as they can get these days. Everything needs a charge or transfer, and with this AUKEY 8-in-1 hub, everything will have it. There are two USB 3.1 ports, a USB 2.0 port, a USB-C port with 100W Power Delivery for Macbook charging, ethernet, and a card reader, all packed into one sleek little puck.

Whether you have a want to keep an eye on a new puppy or just check in on a senior pooch a pet cam can be a handy tool. This one from Netvue is 30% off and comes in two colors: black and white.
It has a full coverage of 1080P HD resolution and beams a sharp clear image right to your phone to ease your mind if you have a fussy new doggo. I don’t know if the two-way audio is a blessing or a curse to say hello and confuse your pet. But you could use this feature to scold them if they are making a chew toy out of the throw pillows. It has smart motion technology so you’ll only be alerted when there is movement and you don’t need to keep the feed up. It supports night vision and even lets you save footage so if fido does something particularly naughty or cute, probably both, you can share and revisit. This camera can also be used for a new baby but honestly checking in on an active pupper is probably more fun than a sleeping baby.

Samsung Galaxy S20+ 5G (512GB) | $1,100 | Amazon Gold Box
The Samsung Galaxy S20+ 5G is one of the most advanced smartphones ever, and it’s priced accordingly. It’s tough for anyone to justify spending the $1,000+ Samsung asks for, but today-only, Amazon is issuing a $250 discount for both the 128GB and 512GB models..
Buying the phone for 5G alone isn’t wise considering how much deployment still has to occur, but the rest of the spec sheet makes up a good chunk of the premium:
- 6.7-inch Dynamic AMOLED HDR+ display
- Snapdragon 865, 12GB of RAM
- Six total cameras
- USB-C Power Delivery, 15W Wireless Charging, Reverse Wireless Charging
- Samsung Pay, Ultrasonic Fingerprint Sensor
- IP68 water and dust resistance
- Android 10 w/ One UI 2
Remember, it’s a Gold Box, so the price goes back up by the end of the day.
In our reader sourced roundup of the best VPNs, Kinja commenter Gigith called NordVPN, “Pretty solid for one of the marketed VPNs.” With concerns over security once again looming over the American public, no thanks to reopening conversations around Section 215 of the Patriot Act, now is the time to secure your browsing data from prying eyes. As always, NordVPN strikes a nice balance between pricing and features, and it’s 70% off when you pay for 3 years.
While NordVPN is no stranger to controversy (its servers were reportedly breached in March 2018), the company has at least been candid about its shortcomings. It also boasts “military-grade encryption,” and keep up to six devices protected at a time. You can learn more about NordVPN here, but the gist is this: If you don’t want your internet service provider spying on you it might be time to invest around $3/month on a VPN. If not for Nord then for one of these discounted options.
Do you want to upgrade your home theater? It’s time to get a projector! The APEMAN 1080 projector is $164 until the end of the day if you clip the coupon on the page and use the code EYGXKRVD at checkout, and it’s well worth checking out. Just read the first review on Amazon, and you’ll see exactly what’s in store for you as compared to a HDTV. Extremely helpful!
This 6000 lumen projector can be placed on a table or mounted, and can effectively replace a TV in most situations. But, if you’re an avid gamer, always be careful with your projector purchase. In general, you might feel input lag with any projector, so make sure you’re ready for that potential compromise.
You want a mechanical keyboard, but you really don’t want to pay a lot for one? Aukey’s mechanical keyboard is what you want to grab. I gave Aukey’s line of tech accessories a try, and I got to say, I found them all surprisingly solid. These items come at a low price, but the build quality overall feels great.
But now, you can get the mechanical keyboard for even cheaper. If you use code KINJAG12 at checkout, you’ll be able to grab this baby for just $40. That’s quite the steal! So, if you want to enter the world of mechanical keyboards, now is your chance.
Convergence is a lost art. If you can rope all your mobile device charging needs into one neat device, you should, and this Aduro stand is perfect for those in the Apple family. It has charging bases for the iPhone, Apple Watch, and your AirPods, allowing you to continue using any of the devices while their digital bellies are being refilled with all the nutritious electrons they can handle. It’s only $19 at SideDeal.
Embrace even more sizable savings by opting for Amazon’s renewed (refurbished) version of the Sonos Playbase, which chops another $58 off the site’s new price. This price is only available for the white version, with the black version providing less dramatic savings.
Are you tired of your slow-ass computer becoming slower and slower after another computer virus? Well, you should check out McAfee’s Anti-Virus software. For $15, you can get a year’s subscription to secure your online browsing for Windows 7, 8, 8.1, 9, and 10. Grab it before it’s gone.
True wireless earbuds aren’t a niche category anymore. If the Apple-exclusive AirPods are off the table, and you’d rather not get a cheap AirPods knockoff on Amazon, the Jabra Elite 75t earbuds are a great alternative. Their sound quality is among the best in the category, and they’ve got enough battery life to keep your tunes playing all day. Typically, they’ll run you $180, but a refurbished pairis only $100 on Newegg right now. You might not get the convenience of a charging case like you’d get with AirPods, but your ears won’t mind when you can finally walk around the house without worrying about your headphones snagging on something anymore.
With Borderlands Legendary Collection, XCOM 2, BioShock: The Collection, and Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition now on Switch, you’re going to need a bigger SD card. But oftentimes more storage means more money—more money most of us don’t have in the midst of a global pandemic. At the very least, SanDisk’s officially Nintendo-licensed 128GB microSD card is $28 over on Amazon to spare you 20% of the cost.
If you don’t give a shit about Mario, first off how dare you, and second, SanDisk’s higher capacity 256GB microSD card features the same read and write speeds, albeit without the cute lil Super Mushroom doodle on the front. If that’s a sacrifice you’re willing to make for double the storage, here ya go bud.
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?

Doom Eternal (Xbox One) | $40 | Amazon

Haven’t played DOOM Eternal yet? Then what the HELL are you waiting for? It’s up at Amazon for $40, and that goes for PS4, Xbox One, and PC.

With Sid Meier’s Civilization VI, you’ll see what it’s like to take an empire from sticks and stones to space tech, and thanks to some great forward-thinking by Firaxis and 2K Games, it’s available on every major gaming platform, including the Nintendo Switch. Amazon is allowing you to buy the full game on that platform for just $15, which is an absolute steal for the potential amount of hours this game will steal from you, especially now that you can leave the house and play.
Civilization VI features dozens of civilizations to play, each headed by a unique leader with their own bonuses, perks, and exclusive buildings and units. You can grab an expansion bundle (which is still quite pricey at $50) to add 18 more historical nations to play, plus tons of new gameplay possibilities through the Rise and Fall and Gathering Storm expansions. Add this one to your collection while it’s cheap.

PlayStation Now 12-Month Subscription (Digital Code) | $42 | Amazon
Nearing the end of your PlayStation Plus subscription? It would normally cost you $60, but today at Amazon, you can add a whole year to your account for just $42. You can also grab 12 months of PlayStation Now for the same price.
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.
As for PlayStation Now, you get unlimited streaming access to over 800 new and classic games dating back to the original PlayStation, and around 300 of those (from PS4 and PS2 only, for some strange reason) can be downloaded directly.

If ever there were a time to cathartically push back against corporate overreach, now might be it. Build your skill tree as you work your way through the wastelands, protecting civilians as you gather all the silly trinkets you can. Typically, you’d have to shell out $60 to start your journey, but right now you can get Borderlands 3 on Steam or Xbox One for $30. For half-off, you’re getting a game with tons of side quests, and a generous co-op mode that you and your pals can enjoy together, even though you might not be able to be together right now
I love an ita bag because it’s a safe way to display your pin collection without the fear of losing any of them. This dreamy goth girl ita bag can be just that. I’ve seen ita backpacks before but this one is really unique with its little batwings and devil tail. Yes, it’s a very specific look but it’s also 25% off and extremely cute.
It can be converted into a backpack or kept as a crossbody bag. It is a good medium size as well, plenty of room on the inside. It’s made from high-quality durable polyurethane leather. And most customers mentioned using it exclusively for their pin, saying they were able to get up to twenty or so stuck on there. This bag is super sharp and perfect for any gothic lolita aesthetic you might be going for. But honestly is just devilishly adorable.

Pre-order Assassin’s Creed Valhalla (Xbox One) | $50 | Amazon
If you can’t wait to guzzle beer and chuck a mean axe at thine foes, pre-order Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, which Amazon is making a bit cheaper to do with a temporary $10 discount on both PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
Unfortunately, it’s unclear whether standard pre-orders come with the Way of the Berserker mission Ubisoft originally advertised as Amazon no longer highlights that benefit. You do, however, get Amazon’s pre-purchase price guarantee, so if the price drops more between now and release date (it probably won’t), your final total is automatically adjusted.
Don’t forget that Amazon doesn’t charge until it ships, so don’t hesitate to secure your copy!
Grill Tool Set | $42 | Amazon
It’s basically summer and I don’t know about you, but I’m ready for some ribs and chicken cooked on the grill. With this $42 stainless steel grill set, you can as well. It comes with 34 pieces, which also includes grill mats to keep your grill spotless which means less clean up when you’re done making those kebabs and hamburgers. The set includes a portable, waterproof carry bag just in case you need it on the go! Whew, this is making me hungry. Grab this set before it’s gone!
A reversible comforter is such a great piece when choosing how to decorate your bedroom. It’s basically a two for one and if you can get a great deal on it all the better. This set from MorningSave comes in seven color combos and is only $39.
This set is 70% off the original price and includes a reversible comforter and two reversible shams for the king and queen sizes. The twin sets come with only one sham. The shams zipper up, which is a really nice feature and it’s so small you won’t even notice it near the hemline. These are made with 100% imported microfiber yarns and are also 100% hypoallergenic, antimicrobial, and antibacterial.
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.
Nobody likes spending their Saturdays cleaning a bunch of gunk off the floor, but it’s gotta be done. A good vacuum cleaner won’t completely alleviate the need to do a thorough clean, but it’ll make the job a bit easier. Right now, a refurbished model of Dyon’s compact Small Ball Vacuum is down from $400 to $160 on Amazon.
At just over 12 lbs, it’s light enough to carry around the house, and its handle is collapsible so you can store it without losing too much storage space. It also has a 31 ft cord, so you shouldn’t have to switch outlets too often, even in larger rooms.
A Nespressor VertuoPlus single-serve coffee and espresso maker is one of the best deals you’re going to find today, and only today, because it’s 51% off in Amazon’s latest Gold Box. For $115, you’ll get a high quality machine that supports multiple cup sizes:
- Alto (14oz)
- Coffee (8oz)
- Gran Lungo (5oz)
- Double Espresso (2.7oz)
- Espresso (1.35oz)
You’ll get a 30-pack of varying flavors to try with your purchase, and the mobile app is your stop for ordering more once you’ve fallen deeply in love with this style of brewing.
You’re probably not brushing your teeth right, even if you own one of those fancy automatic ones, and Philips isn’t afraid to tell you. Its DiamondClean Smart 970 system is $84 off, and it comes with a smartphone app that can read sensors inside the brush to show where and how you can improve your brushing for the best results. Get one at Amazon, today only.
I find myself in sudden need of a backpack. Something lightweight, that can hold essential gear, but something that won’t cause problems if I need to move quickly. This backpack is lightweight, water-resistant (which is nice, it rains a lot in Florida this time of year), and should be good to hold everything you need. If you use code ZIYE93SJ at checkout, you can grab one in a variety of colors for just $19.
The backpack has a few other nice features too, like a luggage strap so you don’t have to carry it around in an airport and a place to thread a wire through to charge devices. It’s a pretty nifty backpack for a good price!
Dash Mini Egg Bite Maker | $24 | Amazon
For anyone residing in a studio apartment with two pets and a partner at this time, first of all my condolences. Second, maybe you’ve found that storage is … limited. When you’ve downsized, you don’t always have the space for modern luxuries like “waffle makers” and “egg bites.” Instead, you have to buy miniature versions of these things to satisfy your breakfast cravings. That’s exactly how I ended up with the Dash mini waffle maker, now 12% off on Amazon. And though I haven’t tried the egg bite maker, it’s down 20%.
When I first got my hands on the waffle maker, I accidentally made 20 waffles by doubling the instructions on the mix for six full-size pancakes. (Don’t ask me why I did this.) It turns out, despite their size, the waffles themselves are quite filling, so it took me about three weeks to get through the batch. The waffles themselves are garnished with charming lil’ flower patterns. Just be careful not to put in too much mix or it’ll bleed out the edges as evidenced in the header image above. At $26, it’s worth it for the lazy weekends alone.
We buy scented candles to create a mood and relax. These ones Manly Indulgence are currently 10% off and come in a few varieties. It’s cheeky and fratty for sure but they are quality and smell great.
I tend to like what would be considered more foresty scents. I’ve bought this campfire one from Huckberry twice. I’m recommending the Ivy League one because it has a more approachable scent with lavender, amber, oak, and more woodsy nature smells. I also like clever branding. Manly Indulgence is a little bro-ish but it’s done with a wink. 5 O’ Clock Shadow, Suit & Tie, and Bachelor Pad are just some of the offerings. They burn for sixty hours and would make a wonderful housewarming gift.
Free shipping for Amazon Prime members.
If you don’t need a loud speaker or something flashy to go on a desk, the Amazon Echo Flex might be more your style for smart home voice control. These little things socket right into your wall like a Glade plugin, and when you buy two, your total is just $35 (normally $25 each). Use code FLEX2PK with two of them in your cart at Amazon for the discount.
