Should you shop the Memorial Day camera sales?

Memorial Day weekend brings some of the best sales in the first half of the year, easily on par with other big summer holidays like the Fourth of July and Labor Day. If you’d have your eye on a new camera, then we can heartily recommend shopping these Memorial Day camera deals if you see a model you like that fits within your budget. That said, there won’t be a shortage of other summer sales to shop, especially considering that Prime Day is back on for the summer after being delayed last year.

If you can afford to wait a bit and you have a Prime membership, you might want to consider holding off your shopping spree for when the Prime Day deals arrive in June (which is even a bit earlier this year than its usual July time slot). Amazon’s big annual blowout is sure to bring along plenty of great Prime Day camera deals on popular models from top names like Canon, Nikon, Sony, and Panasonic, at the lowest prices we’re likely to see until Black Friday lands in late November.

If you do decide to pull the trigger on any of these Memorial Day camera deals, though, make sure you perform your due diligence beforehand. Do a little research — our camera buying guide as well as our roundups of the best DSLR cameras, the best mirrorless cameras, and the best point-and-shoot cameras have you covered there — and hone your wish list down to a few models you really like, or at least some must-have features you don’t want to be without.

Remember, too, that camera bundle deals that include lens kits and other add-ons are another great way to save big, especially if you’re new to the hobby. Finally, stick with trusted brands, read customer reviews, and compare prices from major retailers to ensure that you’re getting the best camera for your needs at the best price.

best board game deals 2023 playing 7 wonders

Some days, it can feel like board games are the only remaining way for adults to play in a thoughtful, engaging manner that don't involve a computer or phone. They can, depending on the game, also be great for children and overall encourage a great sense of social communication in the land of the physical. Unfortunately, those physical components can be quite expensive and it isn't rare to find some of the best board games selling for $40, $50, or even more. But board gamers are tactics masters and know the art of holding off and striking when the time is right. For the purchasing of board games, that means waiting for board game deals to come around before making a purchase.

The following deals are divided into the two categories of under $25 and over $25, as that is a dividing line for many people in terms of what they're willing to pay for a game. However, a deeper look will see the following deals provide games across different genres, complexities, and age ranges. You'll find everything from casual party games to real brain burners. Enjoy.

Best router deals: Save on mesh networks and Wi-Fi 6 routers

Strangely enough, routers have had a huge technological bump in the last few years due to the number of devices that need to be connected to the internet. That's one of the main aspects of the new Wi-Fi 6, a standard that not only increases speeds and quality of the connection but addresses the issue with ten devices or more needing to connect to the internet constantly without impacting quality. To that end, if you haven't upgraded your router or mesh network in three to five or more years but are increasingly buying more smart-home products, grabbing a modern router with the latest technology is probably a good idea.

There are a lot of good reasons to grab a VPN, whether it's for security and privacy purposes or whether you just want to access content that would otherwise be geo-locked. Luckily, over the past few years, the number of VPNs out there has boomed massively, and you have a huge selection of them to pick from. There's also a lot of work that's gone into creating more secure and encrypted protocols, and some VPNs even do a double-server bounce to make absolutely sure nobody can see what you are doing, which is essential if you're going to be going somewhere with privacy and security issues. Regardless of why you want to get a VPN, we've collected some of our favorite VPN deals below, so you don't have to go looking.
