Some days it positively rains deals. And these are all pretty self-explanatory, not requiring my usual lengthy-but-insightful explanations. 😜 As always, these items are available for a limited time and while supplies last. Sometimes coupons disappear and codes expire without warning. Good news, though: Virtually any deal you miss out on today will likely be …

These two Amazfit smartwatches are on sale for all
The Amazfit GTR and GTS smartwatches debuted at the tail end of 2019 and only recently budged from their $180 and $150 list prices. For a limited time, however, both are on sale for the lowest prices to date. Should you consider either of them when you can get something like the new Amazfit Bip S for $70? That’s up …

Good morning, fellow cheapskates! (Or, as I like to call you, “cheeps.”) Hope you all had a safe and relaxing holiday. The highlight of mine: Watching Hamilton on Disney Plus. Folks, I am not a musical guy. I like Singing in the Rain and Chicago and that’s it. But Hamilton is utterly amazing, a work of art packed with earworm …

In the past, Apple products rarely went on sale. Today, you can often find discounts on the Apple Watches, iPads, MacBooks and more, usually at stores like Amazon, Best Buy and Walmart. Right now, for example, the Apple Watch Series 3 38mm is on sale for $169, a savings of $30. That said, I remain a big fan of refurbished …

The Wyze brand is making a name for itself, having produced some surprisingly affordable smart-home gear that’s also surprisingly good, like the $20 Wyze Cam. I’ve been equally impressed with products like the $20 Wyze Sense security kit, $20 Wyze Scale and $8 Wyze Bulb. (Order each via Amazon or Wyze.com, and you’ll pay about $4 to $10 extra for …

So many things to charge, so few easily accessible USB ports with which to charge them. Looking around my own desk, I’m counting not only my phone (natch), but also a smartwatch, a drone battery, a VR headset and two different pairs of wireless headphones. Granted, I have more tech gear than most folks, but you get the idea. Everything …

As a longtime iPhone user (I know: not the expected choice for a cheapskate), I’m often envious of the hardware available on the Android side. Not only are there a lot more choices, there are a lot more affordable choices. Case in point: Today’s deal on the unlocked TCL 10 Pro, currently $381.65 at Amazon. That’s $68 off and the …

Modern phones can capture gorgeous-looking video, but they’re not too great at audio. That’s because built-in microphones are tiny and tend to pick up lots of ambient noise, rather than just your voice. That’s not ideal if you’re on a Zoom call or trying to become a TikTok star. An easy, inexpensive solution: A lavalier microphone, one that clips to …
