Echo Dot smart speaker
Amazon's Echo Dot is one of the most convenient ways to add voice control to your home, and even at its original $50 price it was one of the most affordable options out there. Now it's down to $22 for Black Friday. You can buy two and still save money. All four colors are on sale so pick your favorite.
Be Heard
Amazon Echo Dot smart speaker
I'll be honest, I have like six of these speakers. They're not just super convenient, they're small enough that you don't notice them. It's nice to be able to just ask about the weather or recent news and get a response from anywhere.
$22 $50 $28 off
Hulu streaming app
Streaming is no longer the affordable dream of the future we thought it would be when Netflix first took off. Now we're drowning in a dozen different services each demanding a monthly fee. It's nice to see Hulu taking a stand and giving us a break. Get 12 months of Hulu for $24 total or $1.99 a month.
Catch up on TV
Hulu streaming app
This deal is good for new customers and customers who haven't watched in a while (more than a year). Also might not work if you used a previous deal. It's amazing savings though and should definitely supplement your streaming habits.
$1.99 a month $5.99 a month $4 a month off
Instant Pot pressure cooker
This one is pushing the limits of that $50 price limit, but if you consider the Instant Pot 6-quart 7-in-1 pressure cooker was selling for as much as $100 at the beginning of the year, that should make you appreciate today's $49 deal even more. You can find this deal at Walmart, or you can upgrade to the 8-quart version, which is on sale for just $15 more.
Now we're cookin'
Instant Pot 6-quart 7-in-1 pressure cooker
This pressure cooker adds so many new tools to your kitchen arsenal, it might change the way you cook forever. I bought one just because I'm a terrible cook and this thing can do a lot of the work for me!

Fire TV Stick 4K
Whether you've got a 4K TV already or are planning to upgrade to one this holiday season, you'll need access to 4K content. Amazon's Fire TV Stick 4K is one of the most affordable ways to get it along with HDR content. You'll get full access to Amazon's streaming library including all your favorite apps like Netflix, Hulu, Disney+, and Prime Video. Plus you can watch whatever 4K content they offer.
Use those pixels
Fire TV Stick 4K streaming media player
These Fire TV Sticks are very simple to use, too. It's mostly just plug and play with a little sign up for all the apps you use. Since the 4K Fire TV Stick has been on sale for a while, it's also back-ordered by a week or so. Order it now though because it won't be this price when it comes back in stock.
$24.99 $50 $25 off
Echo Show 5
The Echo Show 5 has only been around since May and hasn't had a whole lot of time to even go on sale. The drop to $49.99 today is the lowest we have seen. Think of all the things the Echo Dot does then add a video display. If you've got security cameras or a video doorbell, the Echo Show 5 can give you a live feed.
Smart Video
Amazon Echo Show 5
Use the Echo Show 5 in your kitchen to watch recipe videos or just stream some YouTube while you're busy cleaning up. Use it in your living room to get news and weather updates and check on the kids upstairs. Use it in your bedroom to watch shows before bed or see who's at the door without getting up.

Google Nest Mini
More of a Google Assistant person than an Amazon Alexa person? Don't worry, we got you. The all-new Google Nest Mini is on sale for Black Friday, and you can get one for just $29. That's a little more expensive than the Echo Dot, but this speaker is newer and a serious upgrade over the previous generation.
Ok Google
Google Nest Mini smart speaker
The Google Nest Mini upgrades Google's most affordable and useful smart speaker in every possible way. It's more powerful, has more connectivity, and at this price you can place a bunch of them throughout your home.

Anker 3-in-1 charging cable
Remember when I said a great deal is on a product that's practical? This is probably the most practical item on the list. Anker's Powerline II cable has three different connectors on the end: Lightning, micro USB, and USB-C. You can literally charge everything you own with this one cord. And it's $7 off today.
Charge It
Anker Powerline II 3-in-1 charging cable
The default connector is micro USB, but you can just insert a cap with one of the other connectors to easily switch based on the item you want to charge. Keep one of these in your purse or backpack and you'll never have to worry about having the right cable.

Doggy DNA test
Ok, so maybe this one isn't the most practical Black Friday deal. You know I had to squeeze one in. If you love your dog but you don't know much about his origin story because he's a mutt or you adopted him or whatever the reason, grab the Wisdom Panel 3.0 Canine DNA test. It's $30 off today only and you'll get a ton of information about your dog's ancestry.
For the puppers
Wisdom Panel 3.0 Canine DNA test
This simple test just requires a cheek swap of your dog. You'll get results in about two weeks that include a multitude of reports covering everything from breed to ancestry to specific health issues your dog may be vulnerable to.
