So the big day is coming, and you’re getting ready to head off to college. It’s the perfect time to scoop up some deals on smart home gear and appliances. For example, you’ll want to check out some of the best Instant Pot deals for easy cooking or Keurig deals and Nespresso deals for morning brews. Let’s not forget refrigerator deals either, because you’ll want a place to store food and cold beverages.

Of course, some of those refrigerators are way too big to bring to your campus dorm or apartment. You’re in luck because Best Buy has a Frigidaire 4.5-cubic-feet Mini Fridge with Top Freezer on sale right now, for $50 off the normal price. You can snatch it up for $250 with free shipping to select locations.

Tucked neatly inside the Frigidaire Mini Fridge is plenty of space to store and organize food, snacks, and beverages. In the door, you’ll find three shelves with built-in attachments to organize and move them around as you see fit. In the main compartment are two straight shelves with options to adjust their height. There’s also a freezer box at the top of the fridge to store ice and other frozen goods.

The exterior is silver stainless steel, matching almost any modern decor or theme. It also feels great to touch, although you’d probably look a little weird if you were discovered in your dorm rubbing your mini-fridge vigorously. The door is reversible, so you can move it to either the left or right side of the fridge, which is perfect if you need an alternate configuration to match your living space. It has a freestanding design, along with adjustable front feet. In total, it holds up to 4.5 cubic feet of goods, and the door bins are gallon-sized to hold full-size milk jugs. Don’t try chugging that milk under any circumstances, though.

Normally $300, Best Buy is offering the Frigidaire 4.5-cubic-feet Mini Fridge with Top Freezer for $250, which is $50 off. You also get free shipping in select locations or free in-store pickup if there’s a Best Buy near you with the fridge in stock. Hurry — we’re not sure how long this deal is going to last.

What was once old is new again: Bang & Olufsen Beosystem 3000c Dune Grey Edition reunites generations
A new limited edition turntable combining physical and streaming makes music as generational as family
Electronics, Cd Player, Hot Tub

I hail from the generation of the curated playlist. While most of the artists I grew up listening to had phenomenal albums (can we get a standing ovation for Michael Jackson's Thriller or Dr. Dre's The Chronic?), my dad was of the mind that singles were only as good for a couple of stand-alone minutes and worked better in the context of an entire album. He could sit and listen to Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon or The Beatles' Abbey Road with no breaks. I think the only album we could both do that with was Nirvana's Nevermind. In any case, by the time I was able to decide on the music in my own car, my generation was ripping music and making playlists on CDs. Even the greatest hits collections still had only one artist at a time. We wanted a collection of artists giving us the same feeling for 90 minutes without changing a CD. However, there is something to be said about my dad's way. A good album is a good album. And listening to them unbroken is a lost joy we're discovering again as a society. That is why Bang & Olufsen's new Beosystem drop is making a splash. The Beosystem 3000c Dune Grey Edition brings the two generations together, making music the connection we've always needed it to be.

Adult, Male, Man

We all love Dad. But that doesn't mean we are not guilty of waiting until the last possible moment to buy him a gift. If you are like me, then you have definitely had those moments where you completely forgot what day it was. If you got a call from mom today and reminded you to call your dad tomorrow for Father's Day, then panicked because you forgot to get him something, you're not alone. The biggest issue with procrastinating on a gift is that you have to wait for delivery for most things. Getting a gift you can get your hands on right now is a lot harder to do. That is, unless you buy a subscription service. That's right, get him something that feels tailor-made for him without it needing to be done three months ago. Here are six subscription services for any kind of man in your life.
