We're all spending more time at home these days, so why not make the best of it by giving your home a smart upgrade with these smart home deals from Best Buy. 

For a limited time, Best Buy is taking up to 50% off Google and Amazon smart speakers (opens in new tab). For instance, you can get the Google Home Mini for just $29.99 (opens in new tab). Alexa fans can also get the Amazon Echo Dot for just $29.99 (opens in new tab). In both cases, that's $20 off and one of the best deals we've seen for these devices. It's not uncommon to find these devices on sale, but it's been awhile since we've seen so many devices on sale at once. (We likely won't see a similar sale till Amazon Prime Day).
