Prime Big Deal Days is here, offering discounts on a range of tech items from top brands during the 48-hour sale, exclusive to Prime members. However, Best Buy’s flash sale is also happening on October 8 and 9. During the sale event, the retailer is offering deals on televisions, gaming consoles, desktop monitors and much more. You can also find deals on kitchen and home appliances at Best Buy and Amazon.
As a commerce editor for NBC Select, I frequently cover shopping events like Prime Day, Black Friday and Cyber Monday, so I know how to find deals that are actually worth buying. I spent weeks combing through thousands of discounts to find the best deals during Best Buy’s 48-hour flash sale. Each one I recommend below is highly rated, at least 20% off, and at its lowest price in at least three months.
I’ll frequently update this list throughout Prime Big Deal Days.
