TV sale: deals from $49 @ Best Buy
Best Buy has smart TVs on sale for as low as $49. Keep in mind, the cheap TVs tend to be smaller, 1080p models (which are more suitable for a children's room or guest room). However, the sale also includes larger sets. These are among the cheapest TVs we've seen from Best Buy. By comparison, Amazon is offering a similar sale with prices from $69.

Philips Norelco OneBlade 360 Pro: was $84 now $59 @ Best Buy
This electric razor is as compact as a regular blade, grippy for precise control, and gets an insanely close shave without cutting or burning your face. This upgraded Pro model is stronger than the normal OneBlade and has more attachments to work as a body hair groomer. This would usually run you $84 and is a bargain at $59 since you get the versatile trimming heads and a sharp-looking charging stand to hold it all together.
Arlo Essential Video Doorbell Wired: was $149 now $69 @ Best Buy
Arlo's video doorbell has a 180-degree diagonal field of view, which is on a par with many other models. However, it packs a removable battery, which means that if you get a second battery, you won't have any downtime with your video doorbell. In our Arlo Essential Wireless Video Doorbell review, we said it has some great features, such as package detection, but note you'll need a subscription.
JBL Flip 5: was $129 now $79 @ Best Buy
Although it's been superseded by the Flip 6, the Flip 5 is still worthy of your attention.

As one of the best overall portable speakers, this is a great deal and the lowest price we've seen it at this year.
