John’s Pick: Mebo 2.0 RC Robot on SALE at Target for $40.99!

While checking the aisles of our local Target, I noticed the Mebo 2.0 RC Robot on SALE, but when I checked to see the online reviews, I found an even better price online at Target.com for $40.99! (was $149.99).  Our local store honored the online price and now I have a new toy to play with…LOL.

My 6 year old quickly figured out how to control our new Mebo with his tablet, and loved running around the house.

John’s Pick: Thecus® N2350 2-Bay NAS on SALE at Office Depot for $69.99

Office Depot / OfficeMax has the Thecus® N2350 2-Bay NAS on SALE for $69.99 with FREE shipping ($60 OFF)!

** This NAS does not include 12 TB of storage, but is capable via two SATA drive bays.

At this price, if I didn’t already own a NAS (network attached storage), I would definitely be buying this one at Office Depot.

Although I don’t own this specific product, I do own a similar sized NAS (Network Attached Storage) and find it very useful for my home network.  Connecting a NAS to your home network allows for a centralized backup/storage location, for everyone in the home to access shared files without every computer having to be powered on, and to stream media to smart devices throughout the home.

John’s Pick: Nerf Deals at Target

While doing some last minute Christmas Shopping, I ran into these deals at Target.  Some were too good to pass up, and I…I mean Santa…was able to cross off some items from my son’s wishlist.

Although still Nerf, the Rival line shoots balls instead of darts and has a little more velocity for older kids.

John’s Pick: Black Friday @ Staples

I attempt to avoid the mayhem of Black Friday crowds, but if I can find a couple of stores that have a majority of what I’m looking for, there’s a good chance I’ll brave the rapids…or stay up to midnight and try and get them online…lol.  One of the stores that caught my attention this year, but definitely NOT the sleeping in a tent in front of the store kind of attention, is Staples.

Although there is a good chance Cyber Monday (11/27) will have the best deals on computers, there are some really good Black Friday computer deals that get my seal of approval.

Check out Staples Black Friday Ad and grab one of these picks on Thanksgiving in-store or online:

John’s Pick: Want Google products? Go to Walmart.com on Black Friday

If you haven’t already chosen the Amazon’s Echo series of devices for your home (as I have), and your thinking of which cool techno-gadget to purchase for yourself or as a Christmas present, then Walmart’s Black Friday deals on Google products should grab your attention.  Shop Black Friday prices on must-have gifts at Walmart.com

Wal-Mart.com USA, LLC
#1. Google Home Mini for $29 (reg $49) plus get up to $25 off a Walmart order through Google Express.  The capabilities of the Echo and Google home assistants are pretty close, but a really cool feature of the Google Home Mini is a broadcast function.  If you have multiple units, you can tell the Mini in the room you are in to broadcast an announcement to the other rooms…like “Dinner is ready!”
#2. Google Chromecast for $20 (SAVE $15) plus a $5 Vudu Credit!  Buy both of these and be able to tell the Mini to cast you favorite videos to your TV

John’s Pick: Black Friday Preview

I’m not one for crowds or camping on the sidewalk for days; just to fight for a chance at the limited inventory of a door buster…but if your talking about grabbing a deal from behind a keyboard and a cup coffee, I’m in.

Here are some of Black Friday Offers that have caught my attention so far:

#1. Samsung 55″ 4K Ultra HD Smart TV at Kohl’s for $499.99 + $150 Kohl’s Cash (Reg $999.99).  Available 12:01 AM (CT) at Kohls.com and in store on 5 PM on Thursday, November 23rd (Thanksgiving).  At approximately $350, that’s an awesome deal for a Samsung Smart TV.

Kohls Department Stores Inc

#2. DJI Spark mini drone at Kohls for $399.99 with $120 Kohl’s Cash (Reg $499.99).  This is a HOT item this Christmas, and at about $280, will most likely run out fast.  Available 12:01 AM (CT) at Kohls.com and in store on 5 PM on Thursday, November 23rd (Thanksgiving).

#3. Laptops and Netbook/Chromebooks:  There are numerous Black Friday Deals being mentioned for computers, but I would highly suggest waiting for the following Monday (Cyber Monday) to purchase these items.

Also, merchants are going to be PUSHING models with older processors such as the Pentium and Celeron. These processors are fine if you are looking at a Chromebook and most of what you do is internet browsing, but if your needing a bit more processing power (as Windows 10 does), I would definitely avoid the Pentium.
