Other Great Tech Deals

  • Instant Pot 3 Quart Pressure Cooker for $90 ($30 off). Instant Pots seem to keep adding new features. This model has 10 functions, including slow cooking, rice cooking, egg cooking, steaming, and sterilizing.

  • Asus 15-Inch Gaming Laptop for $800 ($200 off). Gamers, we’ll just give you the specs here. They’re impressive for the price: Intel Core i7 (8th Gen) CPU, 4GB Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050 Ti GPU, 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD, speedy Wi-Fi, and a 1080p 15.6-Inch screen.

Movies and TV show Deals

If you’re still into discs, these Blu-ray and DVD after-Christmas sales are tempting.

  • Alfred Hitchcock 15-Film Collection for $70 ($60 off). This extensive collection covers many of Hitchcock’s greats, including Vertigo, Rear Window, and Psycho. It also has commentary audio tracks and a number of extra features.

  • Lord of the Rings Trilogy (Extended Editions) for $44 ($76 off). The Hobbit movies were disappointing, but Peter Jackson’s original Lord of the Rings trilogy is a fantastic buy. The extended version contains two extra hours added to the movies (valuable and worthwhile), and 26 hours of bonus documentaries and features. The extended editions were a good reason to get the DVDs a decade ago, and they’re still a good reason to buy the Blu-rays today.

  • The Land Before Time and All 13 of Its Sequels for $25 ($35 off). Honestly, we just wanted you to learn that there were 13 sequels to The Land Before Time. Let that sink in. In the original film, kids will learn valuable about loss, perseverance, and the value of friendship. At least some of the others are likely fun.

  • James Bond 24-Film Collection for $68 ($26 off). There’s a small chance this set will not still be on sale. If it is, it has every Bond movie in it through Spectre.
