Best Buy is already looking ahead to 2022 with its New Year’s Savings Event, including
up to $200 off select Chromebooks
. Whether you’re seeking something basic for the kids’ schooling or want a more premium build for your office work, you’ll find something suitable at a great price.
Notable here is the
. That’s a $100 savings and a great price for a budget laptop. It has a dual-core AMD CPU, 32GB eMMC storage, and an 11.6-inch FHD display. No, they’re not mind-blowing specs, but for basic computing or a backup machine you can easily take on the road, this lightweight Chromebook is a fantastic buy.
If you’re looking to score a discount on some of the best headphones on the market, Best Buy has the Sony WH-1000XM4 noise cancelling headphones on sale for a record-low price of $248 (was $349.99).
Named the best headphones of 2021 by TechRadar’s own staff, the over-ear Sony headphones feature digital noise cancellation technology, work with Amazon Alexa, and provide 30-hours of battery life.
If 2022 is the year you want to make your house a smart home, then the Echo Dot is a great place to smart, and it’s currently on sale for a record-low price of $29.99 (was $49.99) at Amazon.
The 4th generation smart speaker works with Amazon Alexa, so you can play music, ask questions and control compatible smart home devices completely hands-free.
There are plenty of cheap TV deals today, but our favorite bargain is this stunning 65-inch 4K TV from Samsung that’s on sale for just $498 (was $648). That’s an incredible price for a big-screen 4k TV and $50 less than Walmart’s Black Friday deal.
This Samsung set packs an excellent ‘Crystal’ UHD 4K processor, an easy-to-use Tizen operating system, and full HDR support – all for under $500, which is a fantastic value.
If you’re looking to add smoothies into your 2022 routine, Walmart’s after Christmas sale has the top-rated Ninja professional blender on sale for $69 (was $99.99). That’s the best price you can find right now and $10 less than Amazon’s current deal.
The 1000 watt blender can blend and puree to whip up your favorite smoothies and frozen drinks and includes a 72-ounce pitcher so you can make big batches for the whole family.
If you want to start the new year with an activity tracker to help with your health and fitness goals, Amazon has the Fitbit Inspire 2 marked down to $79.95 (was $99.95). That’s a $20 discount and just $10 more than the record-low price.
The slim but functional watch can track your heart rate, calories burned, and activity levels and provides an impressive ten days of battery life.
If you didn’t get the best-selling AirPods Pro over Christmas, you can snag the noise canceling earbuds at Amazon’s after Christmas sale for $179.99 (was $249 ). That’s an $80 discount and the best price you can find right now.
While we saw the AirPods Pro drop to $159 during Black Friday, the AirPods were on sale for $197 last week, so this is still a great deal on the earbuds that are currently in stock and ready to ship.
Oh my god, if you’re thinking about buying an LG OLED TV, then just go any buy this one. Do it now.
I’m only frustrated because I think I write the same thing for months each year, so I’ll do it quickly here – it’s not your fault that this is new to you:
- LG makes some of the best OLED TVs
- The LG C1 series is the best out there
- This C1 deal sees it drop to the cheapest ever over at Amazon – $1796.99 for a 65-inch model
There you go. The perfect reason to treat yourself – if you’ve been thinking about buying this TV, now is the time to do it. Trust me – I’ve waited too long many times in the past.
Right – welcome to the first day of the rest of your life. Or… just the chance to start finding some top deals for you to spend your carefully-saved cash.
Let’s begin as time is of the essence: my first recommendation is the Apple Watch 7, which is on for its lowest-ever price at Amazon – reduced to just $339 for the 41mm GPS version.
We’re seeing a few ‘deals’ coming through that aren’t as cheap as on Black Friday (don’t worry, we always try to flag these when we see them) but this appears to be a geunine saving – and as someone whose partner has inexplicably decided they want an Apple Watch for the first time in their life, I’m suddenly on the lookout for a deal.
