21 huge Amazon back-to-school deals I recommend this weekend

TP-Link WiFi Extender w/ Ethernet Port: was $34 now $12 @ Amazon
Large spaces need all the Wi-Fi help they can get, so this sale on TP-Link's tiny Wi-Fi extender is definitely one to take advantage of. It expands Wi-Fi by 1,200 square feet, helping you erase any dead zones on or around campus. It's especially useful for those who are far from their routers. Plus, its built-in Ethernet port helps you add wired-only devices to wireless networks. Click the on-page coupon to drop its price to $12, which is $5 cheaper than it was on Prime Day. 

Keurig K-Mini coffee maker: was $99 now $59 @ Amazon
The Keurig K-Mini accepts K-Cup branded coffee pods to brew 6- or 12-ounce cups of coffee, tea, or hot cocoa quickly and efficiently. It even works with My K-Cup universal reusable pods, letting you enjoy your favorite blend without adding to the landfill. In our Keurig K-Mini review, we said it's super compact and excels at its one function — brewing a pod of coffee. It hit $49 last Black Friday, but I still think this is a solid deal for a dorm or off-campus living.

TV sale: deals from $64 @ Amazon
Best Buy still has smart TVs on sale for as low as $64. Keep in mind, the cheap TVs tend to be smaller, 720p models (which are more suitable for a children's room, guest room, or dorm). However, the sale also includes larger sets. Not sure which TV to get? The Toshiba 43" 4K Fire TV is on sale for just $199 at Amazon.
