Normally we see the best Amazon Fire tablet deals at Amazon, but for a change, the cheapest price for an Amazon Fire HD 8 tablet is at Best Buy. It usually costs $100, but Best Buy is currently selling it for $50. Crucially, in the past, Amazon has only ever dropped the price to $55, and that was way back during Black Friday 2022, so this is the best price we’ve seen in a long time. If you’re looking for a super cheap tablet, you’ll love this one. Here’s what else we have to say about one of the best tablet deals before you commit to a purchase.
