4 Great Bargains You Can Grab Right Now
The economy hasn’t fully recovered, and consumers are careful and thoughtful about how they spend their money. There are a lot of great deals out there, but we know you don’t have the time to sift through deal sites and big box websites for on-sale items. Lucky for you, we’ve launched a Steals of the Week series, in which we’ll scour the web and present a few high-tech gadgets or products that give you bang for the buck. Because while some things are worth paying for, you don’t have to break the bank.
Check out the four products below, and come back next Monday to see the next slew of things to buy.
1. Jawbone JamBox
Price: $139.99 (regularly $199)
Where to get it: n1wireless.com
Why you should buy it: Jawbone’s portable wireless speaker lets you pump audio from your phone, tablet or other audio peripheral anywhere. The sound quality is great and the setup is extremely simple — just connect via Bluetooth. It’s a nice piece of hardware, and this deal saves you $60.
2. Mini-Projector for iPhone, iPod, iPad
Price: $91
Where to get it: dx.com
Why you should buy it: Share photos and videos — or just watch a movie on the wall — with a compact projector. We’ve reviewed a similar, yet far more expensive device before, but we find that this is a nice little accessory to have, especially in our sharing culture.
3. Mophie Juice Pack
Price: $45.69 (from $79.95)
Where to get it: Amazon
Why you should buy it: The best part of new iPhones is that the older models — which aren’t that old — get cheaper, and so do their accessories. The Mophie is a must if you’re checking email, uploading to Instagram, browsing Facebook and using maps all day. Your apps consume a lot of battery, and rather than traveling with a cord in your pocket, let your case double as an on-the-go charger.
4. Samsung ST76
Price: $89.99 (from $129.99)
Why you should buy it: If you don’t have a smartphone to take photos, or if you’re looking to supplement your smartphone pics with an actual camera, this 16 megapixel is a good option. With a wide-angle lens, built-in image stabilization, panorama mode (with image-stitching). You can also shoot HD movie. For $90, there’s not much to complain about. Plus, its slim design makes it ultra-portable.
