Our top pick
The 10th generation iPad just keep getting cheaper. When it debuted in late 2022, the base model retailed for $449. However, with the release of the new iPad Air and iPad Pro earlier this month, the classic iPad got a permanent price drop to $349. Now, as of May 28, you can pick up the 64GB, WiFi version for only $299.99 with an on-page coupon. That knocks it down by $49.01 — a brand-new all-time low price. While it’s obviously not the most advanced iPad in the Apple ecosystem, it’s definitely the most affordable. It offers a powerful A14 Bionic chip, a Liquid Retina display, and comes in a variety of fun pastel colors. When our friends at PCMag (which is owned by Mashable’s publisher, Ziff Davis) tested it, their main complaint was the price tag. And since that’s no longer an issue, what are you waiting for?
They may no longer be the latest and greatest earbuds in Samsung’s lineup (that honor would go to the Galaxy Buds 2 Pro and Buds FE), but the Galaxy Buds 2 still have a lot to offer. First released in 2021, we particularly loved the comfort of the design, the excellent noise cancellation, and the robust app-based customization features. The battery life and overall sound quality are just okay, but with the low price tag, it’s something we’re willing to deal with. Regularly $149.99, you can snag a pair of these buds for only $69.99 as of May 28 — that’s a savings of 53% and their lowest price to date.
Looking for a no frills tablet to browse social media, watch Netflix, answer emails, and do other daily tasks? The Amazon Fire HD 10 tablet is on sale for only $84.99 — that’s a savings of 48% and a new all-time low by $5. While this isn’t the latest iteration of the tablet (a new model was released in 2023), it’s still a solid purchase and a lot of bang for your buck. “The brand’s Fire HD 10 is inexpensive and high performing, and ideal if you’re already invested in the Amazon ecosystem with a Prime membership or Alexa-enabled devices. It’s also a solid choice for people who use the Microsoft app suite for work,” Mashable reviewer SaVanna Shoemaker wrote in her review of the tablet. This discount won’t be around for long, though — as a Lightning deal, you only have today to pick it up.

If you’re in the market for a new TV and you’re already a Prime member and/or using a Fire TV Stick, grabbing an actual Amazon Fire TV is a no-brainer. Your custom-arranged apps will be waiting for you as soon as you log into your Amazon account on the 4-Series Fire TV. It’s equipped with 4K Ultra HD entertainment with HDR 10, on-board Alexa, and four HDMI inputs for connectivity. It’s usually $449.99, but you can knock the cost down to just $279.99 as of May 28 by using the Prime exclusive on-page coupon code PRIME50 at checkout. That’s just $30 away from its all-time low Black Friday price from last year. Keep in mind that some users may not see the coupon, in which case this TV is on sale for $319.99 — which is still a deal.
