Best Buy’s Ebay site has 16 AA Rechargeable batteries for $11.99 shipped. (also available at Best Buy) That’s typically the price for 2 or 4 so this is a no brainer deal, especially with the holiday gifts coming in at record speed. These are on clearance and may or may not arrive by Christmas unless you add shipping or in store pickup (Delivered Dec. 23-28th) but get impressive 4.6/5 star ratings. 

You’ll need a battery charger for these which start at around $8 if you don’t already have one. 

In fact, these 200mAh Dynex Batteries are nearing the price of premium non-rechargable batteries meaning that even if you just go one and done, you are still pretty much breaking even. I just bought 4 so you might want to hurry…

Update (12/12 12:10pm): Save an additional $25 at Best Buy today only when you pay using Visa Checkout. That drops iPad Air 2 down to $275 shipped.

Target and Best Buy are coming in hard with iPad discounts as we inch closer to Christmas. Most notably, iPad Air 2 now starts at just $299.99 at both retailers. That’s $99.01 below Apple’s asking price and about $25 more than Black Friday. It’s the best full-size iPad for most people since the Pro lineup is generally overkill for everyday tasks. But if you are looking for Apple Pencil support and need the extra horsepower, Target dropped the 9.7-inch 32GB iPad Pro down to $449.99 (from $599), 128GB to $549.99 (from $699) and 256GB to $649.99 (from $799).

Make sure you don’t ruin your savings by snagging an overpriced case. This option has auto/sleep wake functionality and gets stellar reviews: iPad Air 2 model from $9.49, 9.7-inch iPad Pro from $9.99. Buy a Bluetooth keyboard so you can really knock out work on your new iPad. Logitech’s multi-device K480 ($35) and K380 ($30) are both smart picks.

Black Friday pricing for the 2nd generation Ecobee3 Smart Thermostat with Sensor is now live. Get it for just $199.99 shipped from Amazon, Best Buy, Lowes, Home Depot and ecobee. You’re saving just about $50 off its regular $249 price tag. Note: Home Depot and Ecobee are charging $0.99 less, but that’s not significant enough (IMHO) to make it worth giving up Prime benefits.

Not only will it make your home more comfortable, it’ll also deliver meaningful energy savings. It has racked up a 4.5 out of 5 star rating from thousands of Amazon reviewers. What’s more, we were thoroughly impressed with it during our in-depth review:

Overall, I’ve really enjoyed using the ecobee3 since December and can easily recommend it as a quality HomeKit accessory. Siri control for turning on the heat from my desk is super convenient, especially using the Apple Watch, and using the iPhone app to change the temperature has almost entirely replaced walking over to the thermostat.

Wow, it’s been a big 24 hours for Black Friday 2016. Target and Walmart each revealed their respective plans for Thanksgiving weekend with deals across nearly every major product category. And this morning, Best Buy is ready to do the same. Early this morning its entire 48-page Black Friday was posted and we’ll just say that it didn’t disappoint.

Best Buy will be kicking things off at 5PM on Thanksgiving Day with a number of doorbusters available. The plan is to close down at 1AM and re-open again on Friday at 8AM. Shoppers can get started online as soon as 12:01AM on Thursday with deals continuing through the weekend. Much like Target, a number of Black Friday promotions are already available for purchase today. Those deals have been marked below if you’re looking to get a head-start on your holiday shopping.

Best Buy offers the first generation 42mm Apple Watch Sport in Space Gray (model MJ3T2LL/A) for $219 shipped. For comparison, this model originally sold for $399 and still fetches $280 at Target. Today’s deal is a match of the previous popular deal price and the best available. You can save even further by going with an open-box model in ‘excellent’ condition for $199 (scroll down to buying options).

The first generation Apple Watch connects with your iPhone for notifications, fitness tracking, heart rate monitoring and more. Although the latest model has a few more bells and whistles, it’s tough to beat the popular Space Gray Sport version at this price. Of course, Apple just recently released watchOS 3 that includes a few popular new features and remedies some complaints from the first generation model.

With your savings, pick up a stylish third-party leather Apple Watch Band or Spigen’s popular aluminum dock for $13 Prime shipped.
