Electronics

Electronics are a no-brainer for me when it comes to sales. I try not to buy electronics at full price and always check out those sections first for deals. Usually, there is a lot of choice because the market is so competitive these days.

Here are a few of my top picks right now:

1. Amazon Fire HD 8 Tablet

The Amazon Fire HD 8 Tablet is perfect for streaming, reading, and browsing the web; it's a tablet and a kindle in one.

Its compact size and affordability make it a fantastic choice for entertainment on the go. This is the 2022 release, so it's not the newest model and therefore the discount is bigger.

Amazon always offers the biggest discounts on its own products during Prime and Deals Days, so they're my go-to items to check out first.

2. Wireless Earbuds, Bluetooth 5.3 Headphones

These Bluetooth 5.3 Wireless Earbuds offer excellent sound quality, noise cancellation, and a snug fit for workouts or commutes. Wireless headphones often see significant markdowns during tech sales—perfect for grabbing a pair at a lower price.

Note: I've noticed that more and more devices (including my phone) are being produced without the audio jack, so even though I was previously a headphones girl, I'm finally caving and becoming part of the earbud club.

3. Ring Wired Doorbell Pro (Video Doorbell Pro 2)

For a more advanced security solution, the Ring Wired Doorbell Pro 2 is a top-tier option. With high-definition video, two-way audio, and customizable motion zones, it’s a must-have for security-conscious homeowners.

Keep an eye on your front door from your smartphone and monitor deliveries, visitors, and any potential intruders.

This is an excellent investment for homeowners, especially during sales when prices can drop substantially.

TV

1. Amazon Fire TV 40" 2-Series HD Smart TV

A reliable and affordable TV option, the Amazon Fire TV 40" 2-Series HD Smart TV offers access to streaming services with ease.

If you’re looking to upgrade your home entertainment system, keep an eye out for sales on this budget-friendly smart TV that integrates Amazon Alexa for voice control.

Again, seeing as this is an Amazon product, I know it's going to be the best deal around on Amazon.

Appliances

1. PHILIPS 3200 Series Fully Automatic Espresso Machine

I stayed in an Airbnb this year that had a PHILIPS 3200 Series Espresso Machine and I was impressed! With the ability to brew espresso, cappuccino, and lattes with the push of a button, I decided it’s worth the investment—but only if I can find it on sale.

2. Immersion Blender Handheld Corded Hand Blender 1100W

If you love making soups, sauces, or smoothies, a hand blender is an essential kitchen tool and the 1100W Handheld Immersion Blender is one of the best. This is perfect timing as we're now deep into fall and I am making all the soups!

3. Hair Dryer - 150000 RPM High-Speed Brushless Motor

I've needed to upgrade my hairdryer for a while and the 150000 RPM High-Speed Hair Dryer is a premium pick. With fast drying times and reduced heat damage, it's a great investment for my beauty routine.

Mattress

I previously wrote about how to pick the right mattress for your sleep type and was impressed by some of the options I found, but dismayed at the price. Then, I found that you can order a mattress in a box on Amazon!

Give yourself or a loved one the gift of restful sleep with a 12-Inch Full Mattress in a Box. This full-size mattress offers excellent support and comfort at an affordable price, and sales make it even more attractive.

With a rating of 4.5 and over 1,800 reviews, plus 30-day returns and 10-year support, I feel confident in ordering one of these as I would directly from a top-tier mattress brand.

Vacuums

1. Shark AI Ultra Voice Control Robot Vacuum

I'm obsessed with robot vacuums. The Shark AI Ultra Voice Control Robot Vacuum is an advanced, voice-controlled cleaning solution that makes tidying up effortless.

Perfect for busy households, it vacuums autonomously and even responds to voice commands. In this case, I'm happy for an AI robot to steal my job.

2. Dyson V8 Plus Cordless Vacuum, Silver/Nickel

The Dyson V8 Plus Cordless Vacuum offers powerful suction and versatility, making it a top choice for tackling all types of flooring.

Dyson products rarely go on sale, but when they do, it's the perfect time to buy this high-performance vacuum at a reduced price.

3. Handheld Cordless Car Vacuum

Does anybody really need 3 vacuum cleaners? Not really, but this Saker Car Vacuum is a handy tool for quick clean-ups and reaching those tricky areas, and can even be used for vacuum pumping and stain removal.

It automatically cleans and contains odors, saving you time and effort. These boxes can be so expensive, so I've been watching for deals to make this automated pet care solution more affordable.

2. Jackery Solar Generator 1000

The Jackery Solar Generator 1000 is ideal for campers, outdoor enthusiasts, or anyone wanting a reliable backup power source. This solar-powered generator is a must-have for staying powered up off-grid. Solar generators are often discounted during outdoor or camping gear sales, making this a smart buy.

With all the crazy weather and things going on in the world, I know I would really much more comfortable having a backup for me and my family.

3. Freepi Walking Pad with Incline

I work from home a lot so I was thinking about ways I can stay active without leaving the house. The Freepi Walking Pad is a compact treadmill with incline capabilities allows you to walk or jog indoors without taking up too much space.

Fitness equipment tends to go on sale in the fall or early January, making this an excellent purchase at a discount.
