Apple 9th-Gen iPad for Lowest-Ever Price ($199)
With Apple’s latest update to the iPad lineup, the Cupertino company officially dropped the 9th-gen iPad in favor of the more colorful 10th-gen device. Thankfully, the 9th-gen iPad is a.) still powerful enough to give you years of tablet computing, and b.) on sale for the lowest price it’s ever been. You can grab one of these things for just $199 at Amazon right now, so pick up as many as you need.

Amazon Kindle Deal
Amazon Kindle ebook readers are on sale. I absolutely love my Kindle. It’s a perfect size to throw in a bag, and it syncs your spot in whatever book you’re reading, so you can pick it up on your phone, tablet, or laptop any time you get a free moment and want to read. And while Kindle books often go on sale for just a couple of bucks, I get the majority of my ebooks from my local library. I just select the “send to Kindle” option, and they appear on my Kindle for free, like magic. You can’t beat that.
Amazon Fire TV Stick Deals
- Fire TV Stick Lite - $19.99 (was $30)
- Fire TV Stick - $24.99 (was $40)
- Fire TV Stick 4K - $29.99 (was $50)
- Fire TV Stick 4K Max - $39.99 (was $60)
Amazon has a range of Fire TV sticks that come with an escalating number of features as the price goes up. They all get you access to a number of streaming services, turning any non-smart TV into a smart TV. The Lite is the most barebones in the lineup, with 1080p streaming but no TV volume or channel controls on the remote. For those features, grab the standard Stick. If you have a 4K TV, though, you’ll want to get either the Fire TV Stick 4K or 4K Max. Both are excellent streaming devices, but the 4K Max offers a speedier experience and some additional smart home features.

Should You Wait for Amazon’s Next Sale?
Amazon is known for running big site-wide sales periodically throughout the year – which begs the question: should you buy now, or wait until the online retailer’s next sale? That’s a good question. After all, Amazon has already announced it’s going to have another Prime Big Deal Days sale in October.
If you have your eye on something and want to wait for the next sale, you certainly can do that. That said, this Labor Day sale has some great prices on a variety of items, including all-time low prices on some of them. But if you want the absolute lowest prices and you don’t have any urgent product needs, the best advice is probably to wait for Black Friday 2024, when Amazon (and other retailers) generally offer their lowest prices of the year.
