65-inch TCL 6 Series Roku TV, model 65R615: $800 (save $170)

Sarah Tew/CNET

This is most likely the best price you’ll get for TCL’s superb 65R615. This model is exclusive to Best Buy but basically identical to the one we named our favorite TV for the money in 2018. You simply can’t get a picture this good for any less, and the awesome Roku TV operating system is sweet icing on the cake.

According to TCL: “This sale will only be valid today at BestBuy.com and at Best Buy stores across the US until midnight CT online and until stores close, while supplies last.” Boom.

Google Home Hub, $99 (save $50)

Brian Bennett/CNET

That’s a whole 33 percent off the extremely handy Google Home Hub, which was just released. And it’s got no camera, so it’s a more comfortable bedroom and kitchen companion than other smart displays. Walmart’s deal includes a $10 movie credit for Walmart’s Vudu streaming service. Want one for yourself and one as a gift? Costco has a two-pack for $190

Walabot DIY Wall Scanner: $50 ($50 off)

Walabot

Typical stud finders? Flawed at best. The Walabot piggybacks onto your Android phone (sorry, iPhone users) and scans the insides of concrete or drywall. It can spot wood studs, metal studs, pipes, electrical lines and so on. It can also detect movement, in case you’re trying to catch a critter.

Fire TV Stick and Echo Dot (second-gen): $40 (save $40)

Sarah Tew/CNET

For less than the regular price of an Echo Dot alone, you nab both the smart speaker and Amazon’s Alexa-imbued streaming stick.

Appliances at Lowe’s: Save up to 40 percent

Lowe’s

Not to be outdone, Lowe’s discount runs through Cyber Monday. And like Home Depot, the store is offering extra savings on multiple appliances. The difference here is that those savings come in the form of a Lowe’s gift card, not a cash discount.
