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 …

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 …

Need a TV for a den, bedroom or dorm room? The deals don’t get much better than this: For a limited time, and while supplies last, Best Buy has an Insignia 24-inch Fire TV for $99.99, a price that includes a free Amazon Echo Dot (third-gen). The latter will automatically appear in your cart when you add the TV. This …

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 …

Among the list of soul-crushing problems we have to deal with in a corona-infested world, inserting the charging cable into the end of your phone probably doesn’t make the top five. Even so, why bother, if you have an iPhone or Android phone with wireless charging built in? There’s no convenience quite like having a charging stand on your bedstand …

There’s a buzz around gaming accessory maker Whirlwind FX these days. The company’s Element keyboard is taking interactivity to a whole new level — thanks to a library of game extensions, the keyboard’s per-key RGB lighting can react to what’s happening on the screen. It’s an interesting concept, and right now you can get the Element for $85 when you …

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 …

These days, I’m not interested in a power bank unless it packs a lot of power — at least 20,000 mAh, for example — and has some really interesting features, like Power Delivery (PD), Quick Charge (QC), lots of ports, USB-C, a flashlight or solar charging. Today I have one that checks a lot of those boxes, Not all of …

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 …

Gaming headsets can get seriously expensive, and it’s not hard to find headphones costing $300 or more. But do you need to spend that much money? Of course not, and the Plantronics Rig 400Hx is a great example of why. They sound good — much better than their modest price tag would imply. And right now, you can get the …
