Some of the best Black Friday deals are already upon us even though the big sales event doesn’t officially start until the end of November. That includes some fantastic Amazon Black Friday deals such as being able to save 46% on your first four months of an Audible membership. If you’ve been considering trying audiobooks for a while, this is a pretty sweet way of discovering what’s so great about the service, all while saving plenty of cash.

Ordinarily, Audible costs $15 per month but right now, Amazon has cut the price significantly. It’s now just $8 per month for your first four months meaning you can enjoy the benefits of Audible for way less than usual. For the money, you get 1 credit a month to buy any title from the full premium selection to keep forever. Better still, you get access to the Plus Catalog which means the ability to listen to thousands of Audible Originals, audiobooks, podcasts, and much more without needing to use up any credits. If you do choose to buy any additional premium selection titles, you get a 30% discount as well as access to exclusive sales that Audible hosts often.

Audible is the home of plenty of fantastic audiobooks. Right now, you could use one of your credits to download the audiobook of movie sensation, Dune, or Dave Grohl’s autobiography, The Storyteller. There are plenty of choices for everyone here ensuring whether you’re in the mood for fantasy, crime, or learning something new, there’s an Audible option for you here. A series of Audible Originals is also a great bet with some great stories or non-fiction that you simply can’t get anywhere else. Whatever you listen to, you can enjoy Audible on pretty much every device imaginable so you’re sure of a great time.

Normally priced at $15 per month, you can get Audible for just $8 for your first 4 months right now. The offer is for a limited time only so grab it now while you can and see just how relaxing and fantastic it is to have so many audiobooks at your disposal.

The Apple Watch SE 2 is under $200 at Amazon today, and we love it
Apps on the Apple Watch SE 2.

When it comes to great Apple deals, it’s a smart move to buy at this time of year -- Apple devices are a little cheaper due to being in the middle of their lifespan. A perfect example is being able to buy the Apple Watch SE 2 at Amazon for just $199. The smartwatch normally costs $249, so you’re saving 20% or $50 off the regular price. It’s easy to think you have to spend twice that much on smartwatch deals, but in reality the Apple Watch SE 2 will suit most people’s needs while being surprisingly affordable. If you’re looking to achieve your fitness goals more easily, this can help a ton too. Here’s what the Apple Watch SE 2 has to offer.

Why you should buy the Apple Watch SE 2
When we reviewed the Apple Watch SE 2, we described it as “simple, cheap, and brilliant,” giving it a 4.5-star rating. Our reviewer found it “comfortable to wear 24 hours a day” and appreciated its “comprehensive, yet simple-to-use fitness tracking.”

If you’ve just snagged one of the many Amazon Echo deals around and you’re keen to continue making your home smarter on a budget, we’ve spotted some great smart lighting deals. Today at Best Buy, you can buy Govee LED Strip Lights on slae: just $25 for a 10 foot strip instead of $30, or $41 instead of $50 for 25 feet. We’re focusing on the 50 foot Govee LED Strip Light for $55 instead of $65, as it’s the best discount and you get a huge string of lights for the price. If all that sounds exciting, read on and we’ll tell you all about how well Govee lights work.

Why you should buy the Govee LED Strip Light
While the ruler of the best smart light bulb world is Philips Hue, I’d argue Govee is the best for light strips. I have a lot of Govee lights at home, and they were much more affordable than alternatives and work very well. The only disadvantage is the app isn’t quite as simple to use, but you soon get used to it.

Capture all the action with the GoPro HERO12 Black — $150 off today at Amazon
The GoPro Hero 12 Black Creator Edition set up on a small tripod on the beach.

In the moment, when you're blasting over that jump on your dirt bike, catching that killer wave, or jumping off of whatever insane cliff you've found, you don't necessarily think about capturing it all. But one of the best ways to make that happen is to strap on an action cam, like a GoPro. You can capture all of the action, and it's relatively low-lift. You wear whatever unique mount is best for the situation and the camera does all the work. There's just one issue, action cameras can be expensive especially if you're on a budget. However, today, Amazon has the GoPro HERO12 Black for $150 off. That brings it down from its normal price of $400 to $250. You can use that extra money to grab an accessory and you're good to go. GoPro HERO12 Black captures it all in 5.3K or 4K so you can rewatch the glory over and over.

 
Why buy the GoPro HERO12 Black? To capture the action, that's why
An action camera like a GoPro makes it possible to capture the action, in full detail, no matter what you're doing. You don't even have to be doing crazy stunts either. A common misconception is that they're only useful for outdoor activities, but no they work for filming just about anything. Even if you're having a barbecue, or a birthday party, or want to see what your roaming cat sees throughout the day -- a GoPro is what you need.
