If you’re tinkering away on a circa-2012 laptop that constantly crashes or could use a pair of earbuds that muffle the chaos of the world, it might be time to upgrade your electronics. In that case, Best Buy’s electronic deals abound, including noise-canceling Beats headphones and a lightweight Apple iPad.
TBH, I didn’t expect to see a version of my SELF Fave Dyson V8 cordless vacuum on such markdown at Walmart, but here we are. This beauty is lightweight, powerful, and exactly what I need as the owner of two very furry cats—and it’s currently $100 off. Other stellar sales? An Apple Watch that typically costs $279 marked down to $150, and sales on a Shark robot vacuum and Cosori air fryer.
