Best Buy has a big sale right now — here’s the 17 deals I’d buy
Don’t miss these epic savings on 4K TVs, MacBooks and more
Amazon's October Prime Day event is now less than two weeks away, but you don’t need to wait until then to start saving on top tech items. Amazon may be holding back its best deals for its latest sales events, but Best Buy is hoping to get ahead of its rival by running a massive sale of its own.
An epic sale isn’t out of the ordinary for Best Buy. In fact, whenever I’m looking for tech deals, the electronic specialist is usually one of the first place I check. And right now one of my favorite deals is the LG 55" C3 OLED TV for $1,499, that's $300 off one of the best OLED TVs you can buy and the lowest price we've spotted to date.
Or, if you’re looking for some highly-rated Apple gear instead, the MacBook Air M1 is on sale for $749. It may be a couple of years old, but it can still hold its own. And that’s far from the only excellent Apple deal at Best Buy, Apple Watch 8 is just $279.
These are just a few of the many deals currently available at Best Buy, so read on below for my favorite picks in Best Buy’s latest sitewide sale. For more ways to save, check out our Best Buy promo codes guide.
