  • Best Buy is offering some terrific one-day deals today in its “Deals of the Day” section, and you’ll also find some sweet bargains in the retailer’s “Top Deals” section right now.
  • What you won’t find anywhere on the homepage, however, is any mention of another big sale happening on the site.
  • There’s a special “Apple Shopping Event” going on today at Best Buy that most people are unaware of because it isn’t being advertised or showcase anywhere on the site.

There are so many great deals out there online today, and the BGR Deals team is killing it right now in terms of rounding them all up for our readers. Highlights from their coverage include the best-selling coronavirus face masks on all of Amazon for only $0.50 each, extremely popular MagiCare KN95 face masks on sale for $39.99 per 20-pack instead of $75, 15-packs of 1oz Purell hand sanitizer bottles and 6-packs of 2oz Purell bottles in stock and ready to ship from Amazon, a couple of rare opportunities to get Purell sanitizing wipes and Lysol disinfectant spray delivered to your door (prices and shipping are inflated so these are only for people with an urgent need), AirPods Pro and AirPods 2 with better-than-normal discounts, Amazon’s best-selling 15W fast wireless charger for just $8.99, true wireless earbuds with a wireless charging case for $31.99, the iPhone of forehead thermometers at its lowest price since the coronavirus pandemic began, the $250 Ring Video Doorbell Pro for only $119 if you get a certified refurb, a sale on Emeril air fryers for one day only, 20% off Sylvania smart LED light bulbs for one day, and a whole lot more.

Once you’re done getting in on that action, there’s another batch of deals over on Best Buy’s website that you definitely have to check out. It’s not the site’s “Deals of the Day” and it’s also not Best Buy’s “Top Deals.” In fact, you won’t find it mentioned anywhere on Best Buy’s homepage. But if you hit this link, you’ll land on a special Apple shopping event that most people are totally unaware of. Definitely check it out, and you’ll find our 10 favorite deals down below.
