I've sorted through the current deals to find seventeen options worth considering. Currently, my favorite big savings are the $32 Fire TV Stick 4K Max, the Echo Pop being just $17 and the brand new Amazon Echo Show 8 getting nearly 50% off. But with up to half price on all of these, they're all worth buying right now!
