Jim A

Managing Editor

Jim has been with DealNews for over two decades and still has nightmares about the days when placing an order from mail-order catalogs required a phone call. He's a grizzled deal veteran, having lived through and covered all modern-era Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales. ("Black Friday" as a retail term first emerged in the late 1960s—and he's not quite that old.) As a lifelong (and unapologetic) Apple fanboy, Jim loves helping others find deals on the latest MacBooks, iPads, and iPhones. But he'll happily cross the aisle to uncover the best discounts on PCs and everything else from video games to vacuums. When he's not sleuthing for the next big deal, Jim's either rewatching The Office for the 57th time, finally getting around to finishing The Witcher 3, or planning a trip to a remote, mountainous corner of the world—sans Internet.

  • We never list a higher price from another store just because it is an advertiser.
