5 Deals You Need to Know Today: Samsung! Woot! TV! The Three Magic Words
Refurbished televisions are cheaper than new televisions. Woot have unlocked this secret of the universe, to all of our advantage. Check out this offer and more in our roundup of the five best deals we found over the last 24 hours.
Top TV Deal
Samsung TVs at Woot
From $290TVs are important, because that's where the Frasier re-runs live. But all that glass, plastic, and magic light normally costs a pretty penny, which is why it's important to never pay full price for anything ever. Enter this sale at Woot (an Amazon company, lest we forget) — now the TVs start at just $300. 4K TVs that let you watch in stunning clarity as individual hairs disappear from Kelsey Grammer's head over the course of Frasier's first six seasons. Who could say no?
Top Home & Garden Deal
Art3d 3D Wall Panel 4-Pack
$131I have a strong suspicion that at least one part of this instructional infographic is presented out of order.
Luckily, with the sound absorption the panels provide, no one will hear your screams of rage and anguish as you attempt to angle your circular saw correctly to trim the edges without damaging the wall they're already attached to, and accidentally slice your own jaw off.
Top Backpack Deal
Backpack Deals at Staples
From $14.99It has been 20 years since Newlyweds: Nick and Jessica was cancelled by MTV. It has also, in a cool twist of synchronicity, been 20 years since the Dukes of Hazzard remake hit theaters. That means we're officially two decades removed from the last time anyone thought about Jessica Simpson unprompted. So having a Jessica Simpson Laptop Backpack sitting at the top of this sale (down from $30 to $20!) was a real throwback to when linear television meant I had to sit through hours and hours of dross to get to the good Frasier re-run content. So much early 2000s television was basically just a grim negotiation between your attention span and TV networks' complete lack of ideas. (And it's at this point I'll remind you that mere months following Newlyweds' cancellation, Hogan Knows Best made its inglorious way to VH1.)
Top Hoodie Deal
Peanuts Men's Graphic Hoodie
$14.19The traditional way to get peanuts all over your hoodie was to just eat carelessly in front of the TV whilst watching Frasier re-runs. But now you can have Peanuts all over your hoodie in a non-traditional, enShcultzified way. I never read the comics or watched the Christmas specials, so I have no nostalgia whatsoever for these characters — in fact, the first time I encountered the Vince Guaraldi Trio's "Christmas Time is Here" was on a CD of Christmas songs performed as guitar solos, this one performed by Steve Vai. But ignore that, and instead focus on the far superior cover of Lennon's War is Over, performed by Hotei (who also did that cool song in Kill Bill).
Top Shoe Deal
adidas Terrex Sale
Up to 60% off + extra 20% off via code "OFF15""Terrex". You can arrive at the word "Terrex" in two ways, I reckon. One is trying to think of a cool name for a newly discovered, completely habitable planet and/or a science fiction novel about same, and you decide on "Terra X". Then, over the course of saying that over and over again, it runs together into "Terrex".
The second way is to be named "Terrence", and decide at age 13 to try to give yourself a nickname.
Which one of these paths adidas followed we'll never know, but we do get to save an extra 20% off anything bearing the fearsome and mysterious Terrex label, so asking questions would be looking a gift shoe in the tongue.
