Christmas is over; so is Festivus, for those of you who air your grievances around an aluminum pole. Hanukkah and Boxing Day are both well underway. The bottom line? Holiday shopping is once again coming to a close as we barrel headlong towards New Years. Then again, the sales aren’t over. There are still a bunch of great deals as retailers try to clear out their inventory before we arrive in 2020.
We’ve rounded up the best of what’s left. We’ll keep an eye on this post and update it with prices and availability — so you might want to bookmark this page in case you want to end the year with a few awesome deals over the next few days. Most of these year-end deals expire sometime around the start of January, while others keep on ticking through the month. Read on for details.
Electronics and more
All-New Amazon Echo (3rd Generation): $80
Save $20
James Martin/CNET
Undoubtedly tons of people got or gave Amazon Echo devices this holiday season, but there’s still a chance to get a great deal on the newest model. Amazon is taking $20 off the third generation Echo, making it $80. If you’re looking to pick one up, now’s the best time.
Save on year-end clearance items at Walmart
Cuts on electronics, home decor, clothing and more.
Walmart is one of the retailers trying to liquidate their 2019 stock before the new year, and the result is a major clearance sale — and great deals for the whole family. A Best Choice Products 12V Kids Ride On Truck Car, for instance, is available for $240, which is a discount of $157. An iHome Mirror with Bluetooth Audio is available at half price, for $25.
Basically, there’s something to find that’ll come in handy, even if you’re wrapping it up and saving it for next year.
