Spyder Men's Sueded Interlock Jacket
Store: Proozy
Price: $16
Shipping: Free shipping
Lowest By: $29
Expiration: December 11
In a stunning twist of fate, an innocent everyday sueded interlock jacket has been bitten by a radioactive spyder. (A spyder is cooler spider — if our website could display it, it would be spelled with the Cool S.) The coat hasn't gained any spider-like abilities or qualities, but ne'ertheless, it is now Spyderjacket. Stay tuned: next time we see this coat discounted, we'll regale you with another of its adventures, but the time after that we'll tell this origin story again, and then the one after that will be a tedious crossover blurb with a discounted Iron Skillet, the roguish cookware with an artificial heart of gold.
Chemical Guys ProBlow 1,000-Watt High Flow Dryer & Blower
Store: Walmart
Price: $29
Shipping: Free shipping w/ $35
Lowest By: $71
A bunch of folks calling themselves the "Chemical Guys" are out here with a product that is distinctly chemical free. Sure, it might blow chemicals around and, ideally, away from your fragile fleshly meat prison, but still. Is it so much to ask that the Chemical Guys are true to their word? The answer is a devastating yes but here to save the day is Walmart, who is offering this dryer at a steep discount, so steep that it's a whole $71 less than Amazon is charging.
Video Games Holiday Deals at Best Buy
Store: Best Buy
Discount: Up to 50% off
Shipping: Free shipping
Video games are good because people can get very excited about something like Baldur's Gate 3 — a bastion in the industry of player choice and narrative coherence — getting some 800,000 concurrent players, but then mere months later, nearly 140,000 players can come together to make something as niche as Farming Simulator 25 the 16th-biggest launch on Steam this year. Video games can be anything you want them to be — including discounted by up to 50% off, in this here Best Buy sale. I see God of War Ragnarok is discounted, which is fine. It's no Farming Simulator 25, but it's fine.
Hoka Cyber Week Deals at REI
Store: REI
Shipping: Free shipping w/ $60
Expiration: December 9
You put your left foot in, and left foot out, left foot in, and shake it all about, you do the Hoka-koka, and then you realise this is a very inefficient method of putting on your newly-bought shoes, and you abandon it for a far more straightforward right foot technique. You also use the cool-guy method of tying your shoelaces, which doesn't seem like much, but could save you approximately 4 minutes across an average lifetime if you start using it now. But most importantly, before any of this, you shopped this REI sale on Hoka shoes, many of which look like tropical bird plummage (complimentary).
Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra 14.6" 256GB WiFi Tablet
Store: Best Buy
Price: $800
Shipping: Free shipping
Lowest By: $200
This is one generation removed from being the latest of Samsung's biggest top-end tablet but let that worry you not, for the most recent update to the product line added little of note. Therefore, the smart play is to buy the previous generation model for what could accurately be described as the best price we've ever seen at a low of $200. It's a deal worthy of an exclamatory "right on!" and thus, we grant it one.
