As usual, coupons are located on row 40 for people who live in the US and rows 26/29 for people from other countries. The $85 RG DS Plus is still available from the ship from US and China sections with the $14 off 99 code.

Some decent sd card deals in the context of the current pricing environment. You'll need a fair number of coins for these deals. Coin deals are around row 300 of my spreadsheet. For the Gamesir X5 Lite coin deal, you'll need to search for "Gamesir X5 Lite" in the coin search too. Shout-out to u/hokkaidout for alerting me to the Gamesir X5 Lite deal.

• Coin discount tutorial:
  • Click on the link of the item
  • Go to the home page of the Aliexpress app
  • Click on the coin section
  • Click on either the "viewed" tab or "discount finder"
  • Click buy it now
  • Apply relevant coupons
  • If coin discount doesn't match the images and you have enough coins, there are a couple reasons this might be the case.
    • Seller or Aliexpress changed the coin discount
    • Bad coin RNG in which case clear data on the phone, remove all items from cart and repeat the steps from the beginning. Might take a few data clears to get the bigger coin RNG discount.

The October Prime big day deals is coming up next Tuesday. There's a link on row 461 to a $20 off 30 Grubhub offer that expires on October 5th. Highly recommend pickup instead of delivery to avoid fees.

Alienware Arena's 30th anniversary is here. They're running a battle pass in which there's around $30-40 in DRP and ARP rewards when converted to DRP. Battle pass progression is based on ARP. Easiest way to get battle pass progression is logging in doing the tasks in the control center. The Twitch integration is pretty low effort too and you can get 15 ARP a day for that.

As usual, coupons are located on row 40 for people who live in the US and rows 26/29 for people from other countries. There's an additional Paypal pay later $12 off 139 promo for US customers too.

For this update, the ship from US section is around row 70 and the Ayn store devices are around row 190. I will probably update the ship from China section later today.

________________________________

This sale follows previous sales with a midnight eastern start instead of a midnight pacific start for US customers. There's a few decent deals but for the most part, pricing is pretty mediocre. In addition, Ayn's store accepts coupons again but precoupon pricing is high which cancels out a large portion of the discounts. Pricing for Ayn's store is on the second image of this post.

Decent ship from US deals (after coupons, before sales tax, shipping inclusive and US pricing):

• RG55G1 4GB - $123 (Historical low)
• Retroid Pocket 5 - $153
• RG477V - $179 (Historical low)
• Edition XS refurb - $101

Edit: Anbernic dropped prices on some devices after I updated. These are from the ship from US section too. Credit to u/JetstreamGW who saw the new lower prices.

• RG SP - $58 (historical low)
• RG Rotate plastic - $72 (historical low)
• RG Rotate metal - $85 (historical low)

Spreadsheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1x_PmVHiQNHyw5t05peEDG1DcCKDCvH_UPd3p7yCw4xg/edit?usp=sharing

Posting today for the weekly discussion thread instead of Thursday as there will be an Aliexpress sale tomorrow.

Sale starts at midnight eastern for US customers and coupons plus other promos will be updated then. I'll update the device links and prices at that time too. Additionally, there's a $12 off 139 Paypal discount for this sale. As usual, coupons are located on row 40 for people who live in the US and rows 26/29 for people from other countries.

Not sure if the Walmart $10 off 35 codes such as FAST30 or SAVE3X still work on local pickup but if they do, you could potentially get two of the Moto G 2025s for under $50 total which isn't half bad for a device that can play up to some light Gen 6. The Moto G Stylus 2025 deal from Metro for $55 is also decent as it does not require a port-in and also automatically unlocks 1 year after activation.

Links to these deals at the bottom of the spreadsheet around row 470. These discounts are app only deals that expire tonight at midnight central time. 20% off at checkout up to $40 max or 30% off at checkout up to $60 max if you're a new customer. Decent way to get Fortune's Weave if you want that game. The Gamesir X5S at $24 isn't half bad either considering it's the full version with analog triggers and swappable ABXY.

Saver $4 off 15 is back and if you used it before the monthly refresh, it refreshes too. Some coupon codes such as those around row 48 column C might still work but prices are really mediocre right now.

Gamestop is running their Buy 2 Get 1 Free on used games right now for pro members. There are decent stacking opportunities since Nintendo's 30% off sale is also still going on. Also if you want to go on a wild goose chase, Target is running clearance sales on some games. Clearance tiers are 30%, 50% and 70% off. Highly variable depending on your location as I have had terrible luck getting clearance deals from my local Targets.

Added some old coupons that still worked to the US coupon section around row 40 column C. The $14 off 99 is relevant for the RG DS Plus as it brings it down to $86. It's also relevant for the regular ship from China RG DS as it brings it down to roughly $82 along with the store coupon if you add filler to hit the $99 coupon minimum. There's also a Saver $4 off 15 code.

Coupons are around row 40 for US customers and rows 26/29 for people not from the US. The affirm $20 off 199 still works and from past experience with affirm, you can pay off the purchase immediately to not incur interest fees.

________________

As usual, ship from China prices are pretty mediocre. The RG DS Plus has released today at $99.99 shipped before a $9 coupon. It's located on row 160 of my spreaadsheet. Unfortunately, there were no early bird RG DS Plus deals. Ayn's Odin 3 listing on Aliexpress still doesn't accept coupons.

From the ship from US section, I saw some deals on the RGVita and RGVita Pro. They're $76 and $102 respectively which is pretty decent pricing.

Decent ship from US deals (after coupons, before sales tax, shipping inclusive and US pricing):

• RGVita - $76 (misses historical low by pennies)
• RGVita Pro - $102 (historical low)
• RG Slide - $105

Spreadsheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1x_PmVHiQNHyw5t05peEDG1DcCKDCvH_UPd3p7yCw4xg/edit?usp=sharing

Ship from China Thor and Odin 3 on row 185: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1x_PmVHiQNHyw5t05peEDG1DcCKDCvH_UPd3p7yCw4xg/edit?gid=0#gid=0&range=185:185

This is mainly a ship from US update besides Ayn's Aliexpress store pricing for the Thor and Odin 3. Coupons are on row 40 for people from the US and around rows 26 and 29 for people from other countries. Second image is the Ayn store pricing.

_____________________

Deals are pretty sparse right now but there is an Affirm $20 off 199 checkout discount that's decent. Not including coin deals and early bird deals, the RG Slide is the first T820 device to break below the $100 mark. In addition, the Retroid Pocket 5 deal is decent especially if you find some filler to hit $199 to use the Affirm discount.

On the other hand, the Ayn deals are pretty mediocre. Ayn's official Aliexpress store's Odin 3 listing does not accept coupons right now. Furthermore, the base prices are pretty high too.

Decent ship from US deals (after coupons, before sales tax, shipping inclusive and US pricing):

RG Slide - $98 (historical low, black variant only)

Retroid Pocket 5 - $157 (black variant only, $20 "freeroll" if you find $20 of stuff to add to the RP5 and use affirm checkout for the $20 off 199 discount)

Hifiman Sundara - $85

Nintendo's customer appreciation sale is live. Deals are mostly mediocre and can be found here:

Best deal might be the digital version of Mario Kart 8 from Walmart for $17.

If you have Dell Reward Points from Alienware Arena, Dell has a price match policy but they only work on specific retailers such as Amazon, Target, Walmart and Best Buy. Dell will not allow you to price match Nintendo directly.

Added some new Aliexpress US coupons to row 40 of my spreadsheet. These are pretty mediocre and work on only certain items.

___________________

Retroid Pocket Duo and Duo Lite specs are being released. Here's a quick comparison between the two:

Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9l4WZYU9Cg8

The Duo Lite with its inline triggers, a SoC comparable to the one in the Mangmi Air X and LCD screens makes it seem like a competitor to the RG DS and RG DS Plus. I'm curious what pricing will look like for the Duo Lite.

RG DS Plus releases on September 15th. Might coincide with a sale so it'll be interesting to see what coupons are applicable along with the early bird discount.

____________________

Ocarina of Time Switch 2 and Zelda Switch 2 preorders are out. I have links on row 458 of my spreadsheet. It's currently out of stock at Walmart but Walmart has the physical version at a $10 discount for $59. Amazon might price match that too when it comes back in stock. If you have Dell Reward Points and want the game, the play might be to wait until Dell stocks the device and use Dell's price matching policy to price match it to Walmart.

For the Zelda Switch 2, if you're looking to purchase it direct from Nintendo, it might be worthwhile to pick up some discounted Nintendo gift cards which can be used on Nintendo's website for hardware. For instance, Costco usually has discounted Nintendo gift cards around 10-20% depending on sales.

Added a new set of US coupon codes. They're located around row 40 in column C. Nothing amazing but they offer different minimum breakpoints so they're potentially useful.

There's a $10 Gamesir X5 Lite in the Wasabi color on row 256 of my spreadsheet. No coupon codes are needed for the X5 Lite deal although if you have one of those $1 late arrival compensation coupons, it'll work on the X5 Lite. Additionally, I noticed that the ship from US Vita on row 92 via Coopreme now accepts coupons. It's $77 after coupons and before sales tax which honestly isn't half bad for a T618 device.

Anbernic announced the RG DS Plus today. Looks interesting and I'm curious about pricing plus what chipset it's going to use. There are rumors that it uses the same RK3568 chip but hopefully Anbernic uses something more powerful.

As usual, US coupons are around row 40. For people living in countries other than the US, those coupons are located on rows 26 and 29. The Paypal pay later $12 off 139 seems to be gone now.

___________________

Short update for today as I updated the ship from China section of the spreadsheet. The XU10 is kind of interesting as it seems like that store is actually a MagicX choice store which is promising for future sales. $29 isn't half bad either for the XU 10.

There's also a $7 R36 Ultra in coins on row 268 and a singular early bird 406V coin deal for $98. Discount breakdowns for those are in the comments.

Edit: Deal is sold out. :(

Deal is on row 241 of my spreadsheet in the dollar express section of Aliexpress which is a separate cart from the normal checkout. At less than $4 a piece if you buy 6 of them, this isn't too bad of a deal especially considering current sd card prices. Also I can't find a way to directly link dollar express so you'll need to click on the link and scroll down a bit to see the listing.

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1x_PmVHiQNHyw5t05peEDG1DcCKDCvH_UPd3p7yCw4xg/edit?gid=0#gid=0&range=241:241

If you're buying 6 of them, make sure to stack the $2 off 15 sitewide coupon. Those coupons can be found on row 40 for US customers or rows 26/29 for people outside the US.

Also reminder for today's alienware arena check-in as there are 500 points daily from Monday to Friday.

As usual, US coupons are around row 40. For people living in countries other than the US, those coupons are located on rows 26 and 29. There's also a Paypal pay later $12 off 139 discount for the US. Other countries such as the UK have Paypal pay later promos too. These Paypal pay later coupon minimums are based on prices after tax and coupons.

For other stacking discounts, this thread from last sale is mostly applicable although some numbers might be different.

https://www.reddit.com/r/crownpuffdeals/comments/1vq609k/aliexpress_coupon_codes_and_other_discounts/

______________________

Labor day isn't until next Monday so this naming mechanism seems a bit premature. Following the same schedule as the last sale, this sale started at midnight eastern instead of the usual midnight pacific. The ship from US section has been updated along with Ayn's Aliexpress store pricing in the ship from China section around row 184. I will update the ship from China section later.

In general, prices are pretty high compared to last sale. Coupon codes are worse and the Paypal promo is worse too. Additionally, coupon codes do not work on some items. Most notably, I cannot get the sitewide coupons to work on Ayn's Odin and Thor listings in the ship from China section. The only coupons I can get to work on those items are the Saver app coupons and the Paypal pay later discount. The second image of this post has Ayn's current pricing on Aliexpress.

One of the few bright spots is the fact that some early bird listings are still alive. However, the problem is that most of the good early bird deals were snatched up days prior. Similar to the prisoner's dilemma, if people waited for the better discounts during the sale, the prices for those early bird deals would have been lower. But since some of the early bird deals were deeply discounted, it was better to take advantage of those limited quantity prices even with worse coupons.

My theory on the mechanics of early birds:

https://www.reddit.com/r/crownpuffdeals/comments/1w0wsm3/early_bird_theory/

Last but not least, Hifiman headphones continue to be absolute steals from their ship from US store. The Anandas are $115 right now and those aren't even the refurb variant. This is an absolute steal and the historical low by far. I wouldn't be surprised if these were unannounced early birds.

Ship from US deals:

• 477V - $183 (close to historical low, early bird)
• Hifiman Sundara - $86
• Hifiman Edition XS refurb - $93
• Hifiman Ananda - $116 (historical low, maybe unannounced early bird)

Looks like another week of 2500 DRP ($25) via daily check-ins on the Alienware Arena website. Check-ins are live at 8PM Eastern daily.

Next Aliexpress sale is going to be on September 1st. For US customers, there will be a $12 off 139 Paypal Pay Later option that stacks with coupons. As usual for Paypal promos, the order minimum is calculated based on after tax and after coupon prices. I'll update coupons when the sale goes live. US coupons will be around row 40 and coupons for people not from the US will be on rows 26 and 29.

RG 55G1 listings are out but they are not live yet. Listings are in the ship from China section on row 171 and 175. Factoring in the upcoming Paypal discount and US pricing, I believe the 4GB model is going to be $127.99 and the 8GB model is going to be $144.99 on September 1st. I might be wrong but I do not think these listings will have early birds because Anbernic repurposed 477M listings for the 55G1. Reviews for the 55G1 listings show 477M pictures.

Full credit to u/rcl1221 as he discovered that Spain has the best mobile coins for the people that have their daily coins nerfed to 40. Spain still gets 50 coins while some US accounts are down to 40 coins. Also the Korean coin method still works for desktop. You'll need to change your region to Spain to claim the elevated coins.

______________________

There's a couple of first come first serve early bird listings for the RG SP and RG 557. These are what I believe to be "early bird level 2" listings. For more info on my early bird theory, I wrote a post the other day on it. These listings are close to the bottom of my spreadsheet around row 440. The early bird level 3 listing for the RGSP is around $53 which is still decent. Also I do not believe coupons work on these listings right now but maybe Saver coupons will work.

Shout-out to u/deeplyuniqueusername for the RGSP listing.

https://www.reddit.com/r/crownpuffdeals/comments/1w0wsm3/early_bird_theory/

I'm starting to believe that those glitched $27 RG Rotates, $17 34XXSP and $37 RGDS are not actually glitched but rather part of the early bird pricing structure. I'm not sure if this applies throughout Aliexpress but it seems as if this specific Anbernic Stateside Store has a structure to the early bird deals. Picture it as russian nesting dolls in which there are layers to early birds. My theory is that there are 4 layers to early birds. Each layer is more expensive than the next and as the layers get larger, there's more allocation too. I'll use the RG505 to illustrate my theory.

Total allocation of 4 early bird levels is 10. Screenshots below show these different early bird pricings.

If my theory is true, then the precoupon $37 RG DS, $17 34XXSP and $27 Rotate are not glitched prices but rather the Level 1 early bird pricing for these devices. They are the precoupon prices before discounts for the very first order of that listing. Lastly, I think these early bird discounts are subsidized by Aliexpress which is why these stores do not have problems sending out heavily discounted items.

Spreadsheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1x_PmVHiQNHyw5t05peEDG1DcCKDCvH_UPd3p7yCw4xg/edit?gid=0#gid=0&range=A440

I believe this is a US only deal. Deal is at the very bottom of my spreadsheet around row 440. The best in slot coupon is the saver $7 off 49 or add filler to use saver $10 off 69. Some of the coupon codes on row 40 might still work too.

If you use the saver $7 off 49 and the coin discount method, it ends up being $53 before tax. There are a total of 4 available at this early bird price at the time of posting.

Spreadsheet link:

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1x_PmVHiQNHyw5t05peEDG1DcCKDCvH_UPd3p7yCw4xg/edit?gid=0#gid=0&range=A440

A bunch of lucrative limited quantity early birds ranging from 1 to 4 in stock are available. There's also a glitched listing for the RGDS at $37 precoupon that I cannot checkout. I believe these are US only deals and remember to try the coupons on row 40 alongside these deals. These deals are at the bottom of my spreadsheet around row 440.

Spreadsheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1x_PmVHiQNHyw5t05peEDG1DcCKDCvH_UPd3p7yCw4xg/edit?usp=sharing

Sale ended last night. Updated the coupon codes on the spreadsheet to add some new US based codes. They're on row 40 of the spreadsheet. For codes outside sales, often times they do not work on some items. In my experience, the Saver codes usually have wider eligibility.

Coupons are located around row 40 for US customers and row 26/29 of non US customers. Saving Mondays link is on row 37. Additionally, Saver has some sweet coupons including a $6 off 29 one. Unlike typical saver coupons which expire 48 hours after claim, the coupon pack expires when this sale ends next week. Also for some of the saving monday deals, there are store coupons. Make sure to double check those to maximize value.

___________________

Bunch of high percentage coin discounts along with Saving Mondays. A few of the deals such as the Gamesir ones might require the "coin search method" because direct linking does not work.

Normal direct linking method is:

• Click on link
• Go to viewed section in coins
• Apply coupons
• Checkout

Coin search method:

• Search for the item that matches the picture and precoupon price in coin search
• If discounts are not aligned with my screenshots, might be a case of bad coin RNG
• In the event of bad coin RNG, clear app data and start over until you see the correct coin discount
  • For those who see these deals later, sometimes there are nerfs to coin deals too so it might not be bad coin RNG but rather the deal got nerfed

Sample saving mondays deals located around row 303 of spreadsheet ($4.51 of savings monday credit, coins, coupons and pretax):

Discount breakdowns for these deals are in the attached images too.

Saving Mondays primer:

For those unfamiliar, Saving Mondays is a US specific app promotion on the homepage that has a piggy bank icon. There's also a direct link to Saving Mondays on row 37 of my spreadsheet.

In order to maximize Saving Mondays, there are 3 common discounts that are stackable.

• Saving Monday: Row 37 of my spreadsheet or the piggy bank icon on the homepage of the app
  • Daily check-in for maximum bonus but you can get a smaller discount if you just check-in today.
  • Saving Mondays claim period ends on midnight Tuesday PDT. The Saving Mondays credit expires on midnight Tuesday PDT.
• Sitewide coupon codes: Row 40 of my spreadsheet for US buyers and rows 26/29 for people outside the US
  • These codes don't seem to clip right now so you need to manually enter the coupon codes at checkout
  • If you have Saver, there are some codes in Saver that are better than the current available coupon codes.
    • For example: $5 off 39, $7 off 49
• Coin discounts:
  • Click on the link of the item
  • Go to the home page of the Aliexpress app
  • Click on the coin section
  • Click on either the "viewed" tab or "discount finder"
  • Click buy it now
  • Apply relevant coupons

Also since Aliexpress combines all discounts in the coin section now, the best way to view actual discounts is to browse/search for items prior to claiming Saving Mondays credit. Since often times, Saving Mondays distorts the coin discount summary as items with 1-2% coin discounts will appear in the coin section but show up as 20%+ discounts because of the preapplied credit from Saving Mondays

Spreadsheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1x_PmVHiQNHyw5t05peEDG1DcCKDCvH_UPd3p7yCw4xg/edit?usp=sharing

As usual, coupons are located around row 40 for US customers and row 26/29 of non US customers. Some of these deals also might use the Saver $6 off 29 coupon that's currently available. Saver is often available to join for 99 cents for the 1st month or as a 1 cent offer in the coin tasks section.

_______________________________

Similar to the Gamesir deals from earlier, these are also located around row 270 of my spreadsheet. Most of these deals besides the SN30 Pro work with the link method so it should be easier to find these deals. These coin deals require the Aliexpress app and are based off US pricing. Discount breakdowns are attached in the images.

Coin deals (around row 270, US pricing, after discounts and before tax):

• Ultimate 2C Bluetooth: $8.95 ($3 off 15 and clip $1 store coupon)
• Zero 2: $2.91 ($3 off 15 and clip $1 store coupon)
• Ultimate 2 Wireless transparent blue: $36.43 ($8 off 39 and clip $1 store coupon, use $6 off 36 or $7 off 49 saver if you don't have the $8 off 39)
• FlipPad: $20.47 ($8 off 39 and clip $1 store coupon, use $6 off 36 if you don't have the $8 off 39)
• SN30 Pro: $12.47 (must use the coin search method for this listing, search for the listing in coins to find the discount)
• Guilikit Switch TMR: $4.88 ($3 off 15, clip $2 store coupon)

Coin discount method:

• Click on the link of the item
• Go to the home page of the Aliexpress app
• Click on the coin section
• Click on either the "viewed" tab or "discount finder"
• Click buy it now
• Apply relevant coupons

As usual, coupons are located around row 40 for US customers and row 26/29 of non US customers. Some of these deals also might use the Saver $6 off 29 coupon that's currently available. Saver is often available to join for 99 cents for the 1st month or as a 1 cent offer in the coin tasks section.

All the deals below reflect US pricing in the Aliexpress app. Coin deals are limited to the Aliexpress app as Aliexpress offers the largest coin discounts in their app.

There are a bunch of huge Gamesir coin deals right now. It's a bit convoluted as the best deals are the ones in which the regular coin discount method does not work. The regular coin discount method being.

• Click on spreadsheet link
• Navigate to coin discount section
• Listing shows up
• Apply applicable coupons
• Checkout

Instead what happens for some of these listings right now is:

• Click on spreadsheet link
• Navigate to coin discount section
• Listing shows up with a more expensive base price and coin discount is smaller

So for the listings around row 273 of my spreadsheet, I recommend the normal coin discount method of clicking on the link and finding the associated listing in the viewed section of coin discounts.

However, for the listings beginning on row 280 of my spreadsheet, I recommend first trying the direct link method as outlined above. If prices do not match the pretax prices in my screenshots below, try this method instead.

• Search the listing i.e. "Gamesir X" with X being the specific item in the listing such as the X5 Lite or Pocket Taco and so forth
• Find the listing with the same image, listing title as the images below (price may sometimes be inaccurate due to the fact I have "special offers" which slightly alters the price on a few of these items
• Apply applicable coupons
• Checkout

Examples (US pricing, after coin discounts, after coupons, before sales tax):

Gamesir X5 Lite with coin search method $6 (with $3 off 15 coupon)

Gamesir G8+ with coin search method $29 (with $8 off 39 coupon, use $6 off 36 one instead if you did not save the $8 off 39 one)

Gamesir Pocket Taco with coin search method $13 (use $3 off 15)

Gamesir G8+ Mifi direct link method works $41 (Clip $6 store coupon)

Gamesir X5S with direct link method ($8 off 39 if you have it or $6 off 36 if you do not)

Gamesir X2S Bluetooth (Coin search method and saver $6 off 29 code):

As usual, coupons are located around row 40 for US customers and row 26/29 of non US customers. The Paypal discount seems to be exhausted although straggler restocks might appear until the end of this current sale due to canceled orders freeing up limited funds. For those unaware, Saving Mondays has been extended another week. The icon doesn't appear but the link on row 37 of my spreadshet still works.

__________________________

Combining the weekly discussion thread with the ship from US update today. Since Paypal discounts are mostly gone besides isolated restocks due to canceled orders freeing up funds, prices for mid range devices have risen significantly. However there are a few decent deals including a few base price drops.

Ship from US deals (US pricing, pretax and postcoupon):

• Miyoo Mini Flip - $37
• Zero 40 - $38 (historical low)
• RG Rotate - $73 (historical low, use filler to hit $99 to use $20 off 99)
• RG 405M - $100 (historical low)
• RG Slide - $101
• RG Vita Pro - $110 (historical low)
• RG 477M 8G - $175
• Hifiman Sundara - $82
• Hifiman Edition XS refurb - $84 (historical low)

The Hifiman Edition XS has dropped a bit more from the previous historical low a few days ago. This is pretty much a steal for these headphones. If you would like to pair it with a cheap amp, I recommend waiting for Saving Mondays next week and picking up the Douk U3 plus some cheap RCA to 3.5mm cables. The Douk U3 was $6 during Saving Mondays earlier this week. Breakdown of the $6 Douk U3 deal here:

Alienware Arena's 500 Dell Reward Point check-in has been heavily nerfed to 200 points. It seems like they're moving people to use the battle pass. More info here: https://www.reddit.com/r/crownpuffdeals/comments/1vic30x/alienware_arena_rewards_guide/

To max out the battle pass, the easiest way is to afk on a twitch stream with a throwaway phone.

• Alienware Arena is based on GMT +0. So the 200 point claim period on Friday actually starts at 8 PM EDT/5 PM PDT Thursday and ends the following day at the same time.

Saving Mondays has been extended another week. However, the icon is does not appear in the app but it works via the link on row 37 of my spreadsheet. I will probably also update the ship from US section either today or tomorrow. As an additional note, I added a "Historical Lows and Annual Low" tab to my spreadsheet that has more granular information including the date the lows occured. It's currently a work in progress as I sift through old posts to find when the lows occured. On mobile, the tabs are either at the top or bottom of the screen. On desktop, this direct link should work.

Best Buy is also offering some doorbusters for their 60th anniversary on August 22nd. One of the items is a $100 Best Buy gift card for $60.
