Staff Picks: The Best of the Best
When you see a Staff Pick deal, you know someone at Castle DealNews has declared it a particularly noteworthy bargain. So allow us to quickly highlight some of the... um... highlights. (Of what are already highlights. It recurs.)
Pro Deal Tip: There's many more Staff Pick deals beyond the ones we've highlighted here. Keep scrollin' to see them all.
Polibi 83" Modern 3-Seat Home Theater Recliner SofaStore: Home Depot
Price: $644
Shipping: Free shipping
Lowest By: $644
The key to this 3-seat recliner sofa is the ability to squish the person in the middle under the drop down table, and honor their noble sacrifice by stashing your 16-oz. bottle of Coke in one of the brace of waiting cupholders. It's a dark chapter in seat technology, but at least the 50% discount gives it a silver lining.
Mario Video Games for Nintendo Switch at TargetStore: Target
Discount: $20 off
Shipping: Pickup, or free shipping w/ $35
At time of writing, it is Mario Day — March 10, MAR10, etc. But deep inside, in your heart of hearts and darkest recesses of your kneecaps, you know it remains the Year of Luigi. Luckily, both tend to feature in most Mario games, among a wider cast of beloved characters, so even you Wario fanciers may have your day in the sun. Of course, if Nintendo were a little broader -minded in their approach to Mario games, we'd have a Mario Plumbing Simulator game by now, and that would basically render all other video games obsolete. Satiate yourself with these ten discounted games, until we can convince Nintendo to take the plunge, so to speak.
52-in-1 Socket WrenchStore: Amazon
Price: $9
Shipping: Free shipping w/ Prime
Lowest By: $10
52 is, I'm sure you'll agree, simply too many socket sizes. Not to take anything away from this wrench's value — you're paying 17 cents per socket variation — but it feels like a consolidating effort is in order. There should be two sizes, one on either end of this wrench: big and slightly bigger. And the "slightly bigger" side should be demarcated with only a lightning bolt. And it should come with a marketing promotion where that exact model is used as the starter weapon in an immersive sim video game. (It's a whole thing.) In the meantime, 52 wrenches in one will have to suffice. It probably still hurts when you whack Splicers with it.
Hoka SaleStore: Hoka
Discount: Up to 30% off + extra 15% off in cart
Shipping: Free shipping
Instinctually, we pronounce it with a soft O, but imagine how offputting this brand would be if it was pronounced "hock-a". Like you're coughing something up from deep within your phlegmy interiors, instead of — say — pleasantly saving an extra 15% on shoes, just by adding them to your cart. Luckily, we live in a Soft O world. And sure, that discount only applies if you're a member, but it's free to join, and you'll get free shipping in the bargain, so not being one seems more like spitefulness than anything else. And as much as I'm a fan of spite, I simply can't sanction that kind of buffoonery here.
Newegg Mega Markdown Clearance EventStore: Newegg
Discount: Up to 70% off
Shipping: Free shipping
No one should be using the combination of words "Mega Markdown Clearance Event" unless there's some damn fine deals on offer and mercifully Newegg appeared to have delivered on this front, thus avoiding accusations of word crimery. The pictured the Aorus i7 15.6" Laptop w/ NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 for $1,199.99? It's a low by at least $99. The tone has been nicely set and only a brave dealsplorer like yourself is fit to delve into the sale at large and see if the rest of it truly lives up to these lofty expectations. In you dive, making sure not to touch anything you don't intend on buying.
