The Amazon Fire TV Stick is just $25
The Fire TV Stick streaming device which has 76,000+ five-star reviews on Amazon, is a solid 37 percent off right now. At just $25 it’s the perfect gift for your spouse (that way you benefit), offering thousands of movies and TV episodes from services like Netflix, Prime Video, Disney+ and Peacock. It also elevates the quality of your viewing experience, with an extremely clear picture and home-theater-level audio.
A reviewer who left five stars for the device explains: “I’m a senior on a tight budget. I recently moved and hauled with me my two big-screen TVs that have been sitting for over a year because I could not find a reasonably priced cable service for the amount of TV I watch...Then I found the Fire Stick on Amazon and wondered why I didn’t know about it before. I never knew there was a device so cheap and easy to use with everything I need. I have a DSL connection and programs stream perfectly. I love the simple remote with just the necessary control features. Definitely an item you’ll get your money’s worth out of.”
The Amazon Echo Show 8 is 55 percent off — and comes with a Blink mini-cam
The first-generation Echo Show 8 smart home hub is currently marked down 55 percent, to just $65 — it originally sold for $145! This deal comes with a Blink Mini camera that can monitor your home day and night. With nearly 200,000 (!) five-star reviews, the Echo Show 8 makes a great kitchen companion: It can display recipe videos, stream Netflix or play tunes from Spotify and Apple Music.
Thanks to Alexa you can use the Echo Show 8 to control any compatible smart-home devices you might have (including your new Blink camera). That means when you’re elbow-deep in meatloaf prep and the doorbell rings, you can say, “Alexa show me the front door” and get a visual from your porch camera without even washing your hands. For $65 out the door, how can you go wrong?
One reviewer, who calls the Echo Show 8 (which many folks use as an alarm clock, too) the best item they have ever purchased for themselves on Amazon, shares: “I am absolutely amazed at the sound quality for starters. This Echo Show packs exceptional sound quality into its small design. The screen resolution is very nice for the photo displays...The Echo 8 is actually small enough to use on a nightstand and it has a night mode which will only shows the clock on a dark screen.”
The Amazon Echo Dot, bundled with this smart bulb — is just $20!
If you don't need a screen, the Amazon Echo Dot is the smart home device for you. It's small and unobtrusive; it can play music, podcasts or audiobooks; it can make calls for you; and it can deliver weather, news and traffic updates. In the secret sale section, we found this bundle, pairing the Echo Dot with a Sengled color-changing Bluetooth light bulb, for just $20 total! You can dim, brighten or change the color with a simple voice command.
A reviewer who started out with a single Echo device says, “After setting it up and streaming my favorite music, getting the weather, news and being able to get an answer to the dumb questions my family can make up, I ordered four more. I’ve set them up throughout the house to use as an intercom and got one to give to friends. Like a cell phone, I don’t know how we lived before having the Echo Dot, and I wish I had ordered them sooner. I really love it! I really like that it can be used to make calls — which helps out since we don’t have a landline phone at the house.”
