Amazing Deal Amazon Fire HD 8 Plus (2022) in use on a table.

If you’re looking at tablet deals while on a tight budget, the good news is that there’s an offer from Amazon that fits the bill. The ad-supported, 32GB version of the 2022 release of the Amazon Fire HD 8 Plus, which carries a sticker price of $120, is all the way down to just $55 after a 54% discount. That’s an amazing $65 in savings, but there’s a catch — you need to have an Amazon Prime subscription. If you’re interested in this bargain, you’re going to have to act fast because we’re not sure how long stocks will last for this device.

Why you should buy the Amazon Fire HD 8 Plus (2022) tablet

While there’s already a 2024 release of the tablet, the 2022 release of the Amazon Fire HD 8 Plus remains a worthwhile purchase today. It’s not going to be as fast as the best tablets, but for daily tasks such as browsing the internet, checking social media, and watching streaming shows, its hexa-core processor and 3GB of RAM will be more than enough. The device also features an 8-inch HD touchscreen, a battery life of up to 13 hours on a single charge, and access to Amazon’s Alexa. If you think its 32GB of onboard storage is too limiting, you can expand it by up to 1TB with a microSD card.

This chance to buy the Amazon Fire HD 8 Plus at less than half-price requires an Amazon Prime membership. If you haven’t signed up yet, you should use the Amazon Prime free trial to unlock the discount. This will get you set up for Prime Day 2025 too. The savings on this tablet, however, more than make up for the monthly membership price of $15 if you need to pay.

You don’t need to spend on a high-end tablet if you’re only planning to use the device for basic functions, and we highly recommend going for the 2022 release of the Amazon Fire HD 8 Plus. The ad-supported version with 32GB of storage is already affordable at its original price of $120, but you can currently get it at 54% off for an even lower price of only $55. You need to be an Amazon Prime member to take advantage of the $65 discount for the Amazon Fire HD 8 Plus, but signing up is quick, easy, and at least temporarily free.

The Samsung Odyssey Neo G7 gaming monitor is 55% off, but there’s a catch

The 43-inch Samsung Odyssey Neo G7 gaming monitor is an excellent display for gamers, but it's not always available with a discount from monitor deals, and it's pretty expensive at its original price of $1,000. However, we've found a way for you to get it with a 55% discount, and that's to take advantage of Samsung's open box pricing so that you'll only have to pay $450. That's a massive $550 in savings, and you don't have to worry about the quality of the gaming monitor -- open box products still look brand new and are tested to be working properly. You need to hurry though, as stocks are limited!
