If you missed the Black Friday discounts on the much-loved Amazon Fire Stick Lite, you're in luck: It's currently 17% off right now, falling from $29.99 to $24.99. We were big fans of the original Amazon Fire Stick ($49.99), featuring it in our list of the best streaming devices for its sleek design and wide array of platforms. While this version is slightly different (it's the least expensive option available and doesn't give you TV control), it still offers access to streaming essentials, such as Netflix, Disney+ and Hulu. This Lite remote has also garnered a solid 4.7-star rating from more than 60,500 Amazon shoppers, who pledge for this at-home must-have.

4. Nearly half off: A smaller version of one of our favorite cast-iron skillets

There was a lot to love about the larger version of this Lodge Cast-Iron Skillet.

The 12-inch Lodge cast-iron skillet, on sale for $19.92 at Walmart, received our vote for the best-valued cast-iron skillet, and right now, you can snag the 10.25-inch version for even less at $13.99, or 48% off its usual $26.68. The 12-inch was a big winner in our tests for its vintage, pre-seasoned look and wide, deep bottom diameter, which was great for frying. It comes with a decently-sized holder, too, which provided for a good grip, even when our tester wore a bulky oven mitt. The only difference between that pan and the one on sale here? The slightly smaller size.

HDMI cables have come to be all but essential for home theater set-ups, as they're often required for transferring high-definition audio and video over a single cable. Whether you use them for your TV, gaming console or laptop, you'll find a great option in the SecurOMax HDMI cable—and you can currently nab a 6-foot version for $11.99, which is 40% off the original price of $19.99. In testing, we liked the braided design of this cord, since it was more durable than others we had seen. Additionally, this 4K-capable cable can transmit formats such as HDR and is HDCP 2.2-compliant, so you'll be getting all the usual features, too.
