Happy holiday, Cyber Monday sleuthers! It’s officially the most wonderful time of the year to buy expensive devices to fill the aching void inside us all.

If you’re in the market to buy some IOT devices, you’re in luck: Tons of sites are running deals on Google Home and the Amazon Echo. Here’s where to find ‘em.

Google Home

Google Home will be happy to eliminate the need to remember anything ever again!

Google Store

You can snag Google’s chipper home assistant at Walmart, Best Buy, and, of course, from the Google store. Both Walmart and Google have slashed $50 off the price and are selling the device for $79. For some reason, Best Buy is selling it at the slightest of markups, $79.99.

Google Home Mini

So mini!!!!

Best Buy is selling it for $29.99, saving you $19.01. Plus, the store throws in a free $10 Best Buy E-Gift Card with your purchase. How thoughtful of you, Best Buy, except Target is selling it for 99 cents less — and also adding in a $10 gift card.

Here’s the catch: While Best Buy and Target sell the Google Home Mini in charcoal and chalk, only Google sells it in coral. So if you’re in the market for something pink — or you’re just really loyal to Google — you can buy the Mini for $29 at the Google Store. Surprise! They’re adding in a promo coupon valued at $10 for future purchases.
