We have no idea why Amazon is hiding these sales. One good example is the Fire TV Stick 4K Max, which has a huge 50% discount that slashes it to an all-time low of $24.99.

There’s a very good chance that Amazon will never release actual device sales figures. But according to just about every market research company out there, the Echo Dot is Amazon’s best-selling Alexa speaker ever.

Needless to say, that also makes it the single best-selling smart speaker ever.

Alexa has become ubiquitous these days. So many people rely on Amazon’s virtual personal assistant. Alexa can answer questions, control smart home gadgets, set reminders, and so much more. And there’s one universal truth for any Alexa user: You can never have too many Echo speakers.

Are you looking for a good opportunity to stock up on a few more Alexa speakers to use in your home or office? Today is definitely the perfect day to stock up. Echo Dots can be had for just $17.99 each right now.

That matches the lowest Echo Dot price ever. That’s right… Black Friday 2022 came early for Amazon’s Echo Dot!

Also of note, there’s a special bundle deal that’s an even better value right now.

If you’ve never tried it before, you can bundle 6 months of Amazon Music Unlimited with the Echo Dot for free! That means you’ll still pay $17.99, but you’re getting a whopping $94 value.

That’s a savings of 81%, and it’s probably one of the best deals you’ll find ahead of the holidays this year.

Of course, plenty of people out there just want to score a new Alexa speaker for as little as possible. If that’s the case, don’t worry about the bundles, and just pick up an Echo Dot or two while the price is so low.

Then again, why would anyone pass up free unlimited music streaming?

Honolulu agrees to 4-month window to grant or deny gun carrying licenses after lawsuit over delays
Honolulu has agreed to grant or deny applications to carry guns in public within four months of submission in response to a lawsuit by residents who complained of delays of up to a year, according to a stipulation signed by a federal judge Friday. The March lawsuit alleged that the long delays were the city’s way of keeping the permitting process as restrictive as it was before a 2022 U.S. Supreme Court decision in a case, New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. Bruen, that upended gun laws nationwide. Before the Bruen decision, which held that people have a right to carry for self-defense, Hawaii’s county police chiefs rarely issued licenses for either open or concealed carry.
