TODAY’S BEST TECH DEALS

$10 off Your First Purchase | Back Market
$10 off Your First Purchase | Back Market

Buying a new laptop—in this economy!?!?! I don’t think so. Back Market’s got what you want, certified refurbed, environmentally friendly, and still downright sexy. And right now, they’re offering $10 off your first purchase with the promo code SPRING2020 to celebrate their new dedicated Remote Work shop.

Looking for trustworthy editorial recommendations of the best laptops? You could check with Gizmodo (open link in new tab and come back pls!). Or, Back Market themselves have curated a list of older laptops that are still just as good for working at home. Their number one pick is the MacBook Air ($329), followed closely by the Microsoft Surface (Pro 4; $379).

Itching to save on a Chromebook? Consider the HP Chromebook 14 G1 ($180). And last but certainly not least is the Lenovo Chromebook N20-22, which you can snag for just $80 right now. And if you think that’s a steal, wait until yo hear about their selection of pre-owned unlocked phones. iPhone 8 for $220? Galaxy Note 8 for $251? All $10 off with our exclusive SPRING2020 coupon.


Woot is offering one of the best deals on the best noise canceling headphones right now, the Sony WH1000XM3 Noise Canceling Headphones.

While supplies last, you can snag them and mute the entire world around you for $255, which is $50 less than usual, and the cheapest we’ve ever seen on Amazon.

And, sure, that’s is still a big investment, but if you spend a lot of time in noisy planes and trains, or if you work in an open, or even need to focus while working from home you won’t find a better set of headphones.


If you’re cool with buying used products, it could pay off in a big way. Amazon Warehouse is marking down thousands of used items for 20% off their already low prices. The discounts are hitting a ton of different categories, from video game consoles, clothes, headphones, monitors and more.

Look out for this.
Look out for this.

Chances are we could all use something from this sale. Just a heads up, pay attention to the condition details (stay away from just “good,”) you need to make sure it’s sold by Amazon Warehouse and the discount will be shown at checkout. But don’t wait too long, there’s a limited supply, so if you want something, think Ariana Grande (“I See It, I Like It, I Want It, I Got It, etc.”)

Here’s a few I found interesting (you may need to click the “Available from these sellers” link to see the used options). Just be warned, the pricing will differ among the different quality products so the prices below may not be accurate to your selection.


TCL 55" R625 QLED Smart TV | $500 | Best Buy

Say “Taste of tomorrow’s TV Tech” six times fast. OK, now that you’ve done that, take a look at this Best Buy deal which takes $100 off a TCL R625 QLED set, bringing your total down to $500, which is $50 cheaper than you’ll find it at most other places right now.

This 55" TV sports all the works at a fraction of the cost other brands have set, including 4K HDR with Dolby Vision, Dolby Atmos, an excelling local dimming array, and QLED (not to be confused with OLED) technology.

The “Q” in that acronym stands for quantum, or quantum dots, which is a new technique for improving the brightness, color accuracy, and overall vibrancy of LCD displays. It’s generally considered the bridge tech to forthcoming innovations such as microLED. Roku is on board for all your smart TV functions, too.

TCL has quickly become the budget brand of choice for gamers and movie watchers alike, so don’t hesitate to consider one.


Anker PowerWave 10W Fast Wireless Charging Pad | $9 | Amazon

Wireless charging isn’t always the way to go in a pinch—you’ll still be yearning for the speed of wires in dire times—but you can’t argue with the convenience. If you haven’t already littered your car and home with them, Anker presents a perfect opportunity to try its PowerWave fast wireless charging pad for a hair less than $10. It provides up to 10W charging speeds for Samsung Galaxy smartphones and iPhones, plus anything else with standard Qi wireless charging contacts, such as Apple AirPods or the Apple Watch.


Anker Nebula Prizm II Projector | $170 | Amazon | Use promo code KINJA2240

Whether you’re setting up a makeshift home theater or you’re looking for fun ways to shake up your work-from-home setup, a projector can change where and how you view everything, and we have an exclusive deal for one of Anker’s best. For a limited time (through March 31), you can take 35% off the Anker Nebula Prizm II when using promo code KINJA2240 at Amazon. Your final damages come to $170.

The Nebula Prizm II supports 1080p HD for picture sizes ranging anywhere between 40" and 120". There are also built-in speakers for your convenience, and your connection possibilities should be endless with HDMI and USB Lightning ports on the rear.


Status BT One Headphones | $59 | Status.co | Promo code KINJA20

“They sound terrific, with a U-shaped EQ pattern that emphasizes the highs and lows for a punchy, lively soundscape,” said our own Shep McAllister of the Status BT One headphones just last year. “It’s a surprising approach [from] the company that made its name on the purposely flat-tuned CB-1s, but it works.”

At the time of that writing, the BT Ones were sold at an MSRP of $99. Now, they’re $59 with our exclusive promo code KINJA20. Plug it in at checkout for 40% off the going rate, and know that 10% of that sale is being donated to the Musicians Foundation COVID-19 fund. Maybe buy a second pair for a for a family member or roommate—even a friend if you’re willing to ship.

Whatever you do, your ears will be pleased and your conscious clear with this high-fidelity and highly philanthropic discount on one of the best-sounding, not to mention comfortable and aesthetically restrained, on-ear Bluetooth headphones you can get for under a hundred bucks.

TODAY’S BEST HOME DEALS

Instant Pot Ace 60 Cooking Blender | $60 | Walmart

Instant Pots were the kitchen appliance of the past few years, and now Instant Pot also makes a blender. The Instant Pot Ace 60 Cooking Blender can heat and puree at the same time, which will make cooking up soups, bisques, and rice milks really simple. Plus it can even make cold desserts, too!

... of course, it can still function like a regular blender, too. If you’re into smoothies, or something.

This is one of the best prices we’ve seen on this particular blender. So if you’re looking for a cool blender with a ton of added features, this is the one to get. And it’s $60—that’s basically an impulse buy.


Tenergy Redigrill Smokeless Infrared Grill | $60 | Woot

Don’t deprive yourself of delicious barbecue just because it’s stupid cold outside. Pick up this awesome smokeless Tenergy Redigrill for $60. This easy-to-clean model offers a removable, large cooking surface that’s also dishwasher-safe.

For what it’s worth, this is the lowest price we’ve seen on this particular model and with such a big discount, I doubt it’ll stay in stock for long. So hop to it before this deal fizzles away.


Rubbermaid 42pc Storage Containers | $18 | Walmart

Keep your leftovers and store non-perishables with this 42-piece set of Rubbermaid storage containers, which is usually $40, but Walmart is letting it all go for just $18. You’ll get multiple containers in each capacity, from half a cup right on up to seven, each with a matching blue top. These containers are more vertical than horizontal, they’re freezer and dishwasher safe, and the lids can snap onto each other and onto the base of the containers, which, quite frankly, might be a bonafide killer feature.

TODAY’S BEST LIFESTYLE DEALS

17% off Oil Tinctures | CBDistillery

Today might feel hopeless. Hell, these last couple weeks have been tough for all of us. You might be in isolation, but you’re not alone. Because now you have 17% off all CBD oil tinctures from CBDistillery using the promo code KINJA17, bringing the total cost down to $50.

One tincture gives you 33mg of CBD oil per serving and 3mL in total, just enough to catch a vibe and fall asleep free of socioeconomic distress. It’s recommended that, when taking CBD, you only consume about 30-60mg a day, so this is a good way to get your dose in.

Clear your mind and free up some of that bandwidth currently occupied by stress with some much-needed CBD oil. Maybe mix it up a bit and add it to your tea along with butter or whole milk so it properly dissolves.

Now’s as good a time as ever to finally live out your High Fidelity dreams and buy that record player you’ve been talking your friends’ ears off about for years now. (No, I’m not projecting!) Why? Because this Victrola 3-in-1 Bluetooth suitcase turntable which is ~portable~ mind you, is 30% off with the promo code VICTROLA30, bringing the total cost down to $37.

Whether from your phone or your authentic vinyl record collection, you can bump classics to your heart’s desire until the sun comes up. Who cares, we’re all stuck at home anyway! And while you’re at it, maybe peruse some new records too. You never know when your song of the summer will touch down.


These days, few joys exist outside of TV. Myself, I can’t help myself. I’ve been binge-watching Friday Night Lights on Starz every night until my eyes hurt. Join me, friends, and sign up for Sling TV today. Pay for 2 months upfront and you’ll be treated to a complimentary Amazon Fire TV Stick.

Stream channels like CNN, HGTV, Comedy Central, and more on virtually any smart device you’ve got lying around your house collecting dust. Or, you know, that free Fire TV Stick I told you about.


Kindle Paperwhite (8GB, With Special Offers) | $95 | Amazon

Picked up a few of those Kindle books that are on sale? You can read them on your smartphone, tablet, or computer just fine, but eye fatigue can doom your plans to finally push through those Game of Thrones chapters you’ve been putting off. (Not that we’ll see a proper conclusion in our lifetime, but you never know.) That’s why a Kindle reader is still a good buy in 2020, and the latest Paperwhite model is nearly 30% off. You can get the 8GB version for just $95 following the discount, while the 32GB model for hardcore readers falls to $120. Note that these prices only apply if you opt for special offers, which are unobtrusive ads that appear periodically on the standby screen.

The Paperwhite packs in everything you love about Kindle, including amazing battery life and a crisp backlit 6" Paperwhite display (with a pixel density of 300 ppi) to simulate real ink on real pages. It also supports Audible’s audiobooks and has waterproof construction. All buyers get three months of Kindle Unlimited for free, too, so you’ll have plenty to read even if you don’t plan to buy a ton of books right away.

Whether you’re into food, travel, fashion, tech features, or anything in between, Amazon has a year-long digital magazine subscription to sell you for as little as $5. Your options include Bon Apetit, Allrecipes, WIRED (congrats Alan!), Popular Mechanics and a whole lot more.

It’s pretty likely you have some spare time on your hands, so why not load your Kindle with a few magazines, and learn some new recipes?


Bloodshot Sale | Up to 66% off | Comixology
Bloodshot Sale | Up to 66% off | Comixology

The Bloodshot movie just came out, but you might be stuck inside and not able to go to the theaters to see it. Instead, why not do the next best thing (or the flat-out better thing, depending on who you talk to) and read some of the Bloodshot comics? Comixology is currently running a sale on their Bloodshot collection!

The sale, which runs until March 30, lets you pick up Bloodshot bundles, graphic novel collections, or individual issues. The bundles are by far the best deal, so if you’re new to the Bloodshot universe, here’s your chance to catch up for cheap.


One Punch Man Season 1 (Blu-Ray) | $16 | Amazon

Graphic: Quentyn Kennemer

ONE PUUUUUUUUUUUNCH! If you want to add One-Punch Man to your physical media collection, now’s the time to do it. Although you can still watch Saitama nonchalantly exploit his over-the-top strength on services like Netflix, Amazon is letting you own the first season permanently on Blu-Ray for $16. It’s usually punching above $40, so this is a sure steal. This is anime at its veritable finest, so if you haven’t already checked it out, why are you still here?


TODAY’S BEST GAMING DEALS

PowerA Wireless GameCube Controller for Nintendo Switch | $40 | Amazon
PowerA Wireless GameCube Controller for Nintendo Switch | $40 | Amazon
Graphic: Quentyn Kennemer

Some games just can’t be played on anything other than a GameCube controller. We’re looking at you, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. If you can’t find an adapter for your old GameCube controller to use on the Nintendo Switch and you’re not an insufferable purist, give PowerA’s wireless controller a shot, which sits at $40 on Amazon right now.

It’s all gold, and PowerA does well to preserve the classic GameCube feel by staying true to the buttons’ original colors. Plus, it lasts 30 hours on just two AA batteries, so you should never have to suffer gaming downtime with a set of rechargeables rotating in and out. The only downside is you’ll be missing out on rumble and any features that require NFC, such as amiibo.


Borderlands 3 (PS4 and Xbox One) | $20 | Walmart | Also available on Amazon
Borderlands 3 (PS4 and Xbox One) | $20 | Walmart | Also available on Amazon

If you’re uninterested in Doom or don’t think Animal Crossing is quite your things, well, there’s always Borderlands 3. And right now, you can own a copy on PS4 and Xbox One for just $20. That’s a pretty sweet deal.

It’s a really fun co-op game. In fact, I played it with three other friends and it was a beautifully, messy hoot and well worth $20. This is the best price we’ve seen on the standard edition.


HyperX Chargeplay Quad Joy-Con Dock | $15 | Amazon

If you’ve stocked up on a lot of Nintendo Switch Joy-Cons for some big family fun, a charging dock is almost mandatory. HyperX’s Chargeplay Quad offers you such a solution from a tried and true brand for 50% off the list price, bringing your final total down to $15. As the name implies, you can throw four Joy-Cons onto the thing. Combine that with the two that’ll charge when connected directly to your Switch, and your Mario Party sessions should never be derailed by the dreaded low battery warning.


Sid Meier’s Civilization VI | $15 | Amazon
Sid Meier’s Civilization VI | $15 | Amazon
Graphic: Quentyn Kennemer

Animal Crossing: New Horizons may be out, but forget building up a cozy village. With Sid Meier’s Civilization VI, you can erect entire kingdoms, and thanks to some great forward-thinking by Firaxis and 2K Games, it’s available on every major gaming platform, including the Nintendo Switch. Amazon is allowing you to buy the full game on that platform for just $15, which is an absolute steal for the potential amount of hours this game will steal from you, especially now that you can leave the house and play.

Civilization VI features dozens of civilizations to play, each headed by a unique leader with their own bonuses, perks, and exclusive buildings and units. You can grab an expansion bundle (which is still quite pricey at $50) to add 18 more historical nations to play, plus tons of new gameplay possibilities through the Rise and Fall and Gathering Storm expansions. Add this one to your collection while it’s cheap.

A solid-state drive can speed up big file transfers or game load times, and they’re much more reliable than the cheaper mechanical ones. They’re pricey, but not if you buy them during sales like this: Amazon is offering a 500GB portable Crucial SSD for $80, representing $40 in savings. It supports USB 3.2 with both USB-C and USB-A ports for ultimate versatility. That also means it gets its power from the USB connection, so it’s truly portable.

The price on this one rarely dips, and this is the lowest we’ve seen to date, so you absolutely should take advantage if you don’t need something that goes inside a mid-tower. It works with pretty much any manner of PC and anything that supports external USB hard drives, including gaming consoles, tablets, and smartphones.

This 6-qt oven is huge, and with removable trays, you have a lot more flexibility than the basket-bearing alternatives. You can cook chicken wings and things, fish and chips, shrimp, steaks, pork, fries, and maybe even pies, even if they’re only of the pizza variety. (And, really, what more do you need?)

An emergency LED flashlight is built-in, so you can signal for someone to lend a helping hand if you have to. Though you probably shouldn’t be traveling much further than the grocery store right now.

Here’s where a the Crock Pot comes in—it’s only $27, and can hold about four quarts of food, which is great for about two to four people!

If you’re suddenly thrown into making home meals, but don’t have the right tools, then look no further than the Esnonmus kitchen knife set. It’s only $34, which is a whopping 50% off of its $60 list price. The knife set includes a chef knife, slicing knife, bread knife, as well as tons of steak knives. They’re made out of high carbon stainless steel, so they’ll be with you with every chop of a carrot or every carving of a chicken. You also get a handy wood block, as well as a knife sharpener! I’d hop on this deal before it’s gone.


Make your own yogurt, sorbet, or ice cream with this awesome $45 Cuisinart unit. This 2-quart machine comes in a very classy silver/stainless steel finish so it’d pretty much fit in with any kitchen decor.

This is the lowest price we’ve ever seen on this particular model and it comes at a very good time. My freezer can’t possibly make room for all of the ice cream I want, but it’d be cool to make my own—with the added bonus of controlling every ingredient I consume.

The real question is: What ice cream/froyo flavor to try first?

Graphic: Elizabeth Henges

Okay, yeah, it might seem a little silly to be considering camping at a time like this, but think about it—being in the great outdoors, all by yourself, with no one around... sounds safer than braving the nearby supermarket, honestly. So if you’ve decided you want to leave the house and hit the camping ground for a while, you’re in luck because Backcountry is running a sale on camping gear and clothing for your next adventure. A large selection of items are 25% off, so now is a great time to stock up on what you need for when the weather’s warm enough to go out.

My pick, as a person that definitely doesn’t camp often enough to have a truly informed opinion, is this Marmot Tungsten 3 person tent, which has great reviews on Backcountry’s site and looks really spacious. The tent being 25% off brings it under $200 (to a nice $195) too.
