The Nintendo Switch comes with all the essentials you need with its Joy-Cons even detaching so two of you can play a game in front of the console. However, in an ideal world, more Joy-Cons are good so you can play with more than one other player at the same time. Also, you can buy more conventional controllers which is useful for single player experiences in particular or if you’re simply used to playing with a regular controller rather than the tiny Joy-Con. That’s before we factor in charging stations, microSD cards for more storage, and a bunch of other accessories. Here are the best Nintendo Switch accessory deals.

  • SanDisk 128GB microSD card —
  • KDD Switch Controller Charging Dock Station —
  • PowerA Mario Joy Wireless Controller —
  • PowerA Enhanced Nintendo Switch controller —
  • Nintendo Switch Neon Pink/Neon Green Joy-Cons —

Should you buy the Nintendo Switch or the Nintendo Switch OLED?

Before you buy anything, it’s important to think about which Nintendo Switch is best for you. The original Nintendo Switch is typically cheaper to buy but it has a slightly smaller 6.2-inch screen than the 7-inch OLED model. Also, the OLED model — as the name suggests — has an OLED screen so it’s brighter and offers more vibrant colors thanks to its self-lit pixels that work independently of each other.

The Nintendo Switch OLED also has 64GB of internal storage compared to 32GB although that’s less of an issue as you can always add a microSD card to expand storage. A little more interestingly, the OLED has a built-in Ethernet port if you prefer to connect your console to your network via an Ethernet cable.

As you can see, the big difference is that screen. If you plan on playing undocked and on the move, the Nintendo Switch OLED is the one to buy as the display looks fantastic. However, if you’re planning on mostly playing hooked up to your TV, the standard Nintendo Switch will do just fine.

Best power tool deals: DeWalt, Milwaukee, Bosch, and more
A depiction of a man using a Bosch Woodworking Hand Planer on the side of a door.

Getting your tool collection together is essential if you want to succeed with home or automotive repair and DIY jobs. Unfortunately, there are hundreds of types of tools and many of them can be quite expensive. To keep your collection down to an affordable size, you can focus on the most essential tools first. Another great idea is to browse Home Depot tools, including at your local store. Both of these techniques help you figure out what you want and will really use. In both of these cases, however, you can still end up paying a ton of money that you otherwise wouldn't if you were shopping thriftily.

So, to give you a leg up on ever-changing prices, we endeavored to look out for great power tool deals. We're sorting by brand, as most power tools today are cordless and use a special brand-associate battery. For example, if you have a Milwaukee M18 battery you can use it with all Milwaukee M18 tools. In this way, sticking to one brand (and battery size) is highly efficient. To use this guide best, start with brands you know and then go from there. We'll also have battery deals listed, if we find them, so you can get started with a new brand on the cheap.

Amazon’s early Black Friday sale has a 50-inch 4K TV for $200
best prime day deals 2021 insignia f50 qled 4k tv

With Black Friday slowly rolling on us, there are many great early Black Friday deals you can take advantage of, such as this North Face Black Friday sale on outdoor stuff or this Tumi Black Friday sale on wallets, bags, and suitcases. One of the things that's great to grab during Black Friday and Cyber Monday is electronics, and that's why we're already seeing great sales on things like TVs. Take, for example, this 50-inch Insignia TV deal from Amazon, which knocks $100 off the original price to bring it down to just $200, which is a steal.

Why you should buy the Insignia 50-inch Class F30 Series
One thing that's great about the F30 Series from Insignia is that it's very budget-friendly, especially since the brand was created under the premise of being budget-oriented but still provides great features. That's how you can get a 50-inch TV that gives you 4k resolution. The whole thing is also built on the Fire TV platform, so if you're in the Amazon ecosystem, this is perfect, and if you aren't, then you still get access to all the apps you'd expect on any other major smart TV platform. You might also be surprised to hear that the F30 Series supports HDR10, one of the better HDR standards, and that means you'll get excellent contrast and image quality compared to a traditional TV without HDR.

Save big, feel better with this sophisticated Laundry Sauce detergent bundle

It's tough not to feel guilty about doing your laundry these days, especially when you're doing heavy loads. It uses a lot of water, the average detergent comes in clunky plastic bottles that aren’t great for the environment, and you're using lots of energy. Worse yet -- and maybe this is just a “me” problem -- detergents don't seem to work as well anymore and may cause skin and irritation issues on top of that. Even if you can find something that works for you, there's a good chance it won't smell as good and won't leave your clothes smelling as fresh either -- hello, unscented, and allergy-friendly options. But here's where I'm going to blow your mind. What if there was a performance liquid laundry detergent pod that made doing your laundry better, offered incredible scents, and made with materials sourced in a sustainable, safe, and healthy way?

Enter stage left -- the world stage, of course -- Laundry Sauce. They offer the epitome of laundry sophistication with advanced and long-lasting aromas that improve your laundry experience and, most importantly, make your clothes smell and feel luxurious after every wash. They source their patchouli, for example, from Sulawesi, Indonesia, with a long-term, trusted partner. This improves biodiversity conservation and empowers women and minority communities through gender and social equality. It's a lot to take in, so let's explore further.
