Bowflex SelectTech 552 Adjustable Dumbbells (Pair)
If there's any one piece of exercise equipment you should decide on, free weights would be a very good investment. These super popular dumbbells haven't been discounted for months. Investing in some exercise equipment at home means there's less of a reason to take the risk (and the extra cost) of going to your local gym. Because the Bowflex SelectTech dumbbells are adjustable, you don't need a rack of individual weights lying around. Each dumbbell can be adjusted from 2.5 pounds all the way to 52.5 pounds.
The Complete Calvin and Hobbes Hardcover Box Set
Calvin and Hobbes is such a timeless cartoon classic and sometimes we see the paperback set go on sale but almost never the hardcover set. Today, that's changed. There's an instant $33 off discount that will automatically apply during checkout. That makes the hardcover edition cost less than the paperback edition. It's already temporarily out of stock, but you can still order it to lock in the price. Hurry though, it will sell out soon.
1 Month of Disney Plus for $1.99
You don't see this deal very often from Disney; in fact, this is the first time we've seen it. 1 month of Disney Plus normally costs $7.99, but starting today you can get your first month for only $1.99. That's plenty of time to watch Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings and Jungle Cruise, both of which are free to watch on Disney Plus starting December 12. Catch up on exclusive TV shows like The Mandalorian, The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, Loki, What If…?, Wandavision, and more.
Cheapest PS5-Compatible SSD with Heatsink: XPG GAMMIX S70 Blade 1TB M.2 PCIe Gen4 SSD
This is the latest SSD that's specifically designed for your PS5 storage upgrade. It also happens to be the lowest priced PS5-compatible 1TB SSD with heatsink available. In fact, it's even less expensive than most compatible SSDs without heatsink. The S70 Blade boasts transfer rates up to 7,400 MB/s and a PCIe Gen4 interface. It includes a PS5-compatible low-profile aluminum heatsink, but for whatever reason you'll have to put it on the SSD itself (which isn't hard, it's just adhesive).

This professional-grade controller features adjustable tension thumbsticks, shorter hair trigger locks, wraparound textured grips, interchangeable thumbsticks and paddle shapes, custom profiles saved on your controller itself, and included USB Type C cable with charging dock.

Dell XPS 13 Intel Iris Xe Ultraportable Laptop (2.6lbs)
If you're looking for an ultraportable laptop at a low price, you can't beat this deal. The Dell XPS 13 weighs only 2.6 pounds and the chassis is cut from two blocks of aluminum. Thanks to the compact bezel, the 13.3" screen fits in a 11" form factor. Despite the compact size, there's plenty of power under the hood, including an 11th generation Intel Core i5 processor and the latest Intel Iris Xe graphics all for well under $1K.
The Lord of the Rings Extended Edition in 4K
This long-awaited Lord of the Rings 4K box set came out in December of 2020 at a hefty $99.99. Starting today, the price has dropped to $59.99, the lowest we've ever seen for this set (and unlikely to drop further on Black Friday). This set includes 4K Ultra HD and digital versions of the LotR trilogy, including both theatrical and extended editions.
Gloomhaven: Jaw of the Lion Board Game
Ths is by far the lowest price ever on Gloomhaven: Jaws of the Lion (the previous price low being $35). This is a highly rated co-op role playing board game from Cephalofair Games. It's a lot easier to get into than the original Gloomhaven board game but by no means is this a simple game. It's currently rated an 8.7/10 over at BoardGameGeek.
New Apple AirPods Pro with MagSafe Charger
Save $60 off the newest Apple AirPods Pro. The updated model is mostly unchanged, but it does come with a new MagSafe wireless charging case. This just means that the new charging case easily connects to Apple's MagSafe wireless charger. No, that's not a big update, but at this price, it's actually cheaper than getting the older generation AirPods Pro.
Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K HDR
The Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K normally goes for $49.99, but it drops to 50% off only twice a year: on Amazon Prime Day and Black Friday. This is the least expensive 4K HDR capable smart TV stick you can buy. The advantage of using a Smart TV USB dongle instead of the built-in interface on your TV is that you can easily move your saved profiles, logins, and passwords from TV to TV.
