Looking to do some deals shopping? Amazon’s daily deals page is chock-full of impressive discounts on Jan. 28. You just have to spend some time sifting through them to find the gems. Fortunately for you, we’ve already done that part and handpicked a few we think are worth grabbing.
Here are our top picks for the best Amazon deals of the day. If none of these catch your eye, be sure to take a look back at our picks from yesterday, Jan. 27. Many of those deals are still live, including the 11-inch iPad Air at its best price ever.
Our top pick: iPad Mini
After three years of waiting, we finally got a new iPad Mini in October 2024, which features a handful of welcome (yet predictable) upgrades: a new A17 Pro chip, more starting storage (128GB), an increase in RAM, and compatibility with Apple Intelligence. As Mashable’s Stan Schroeder put it in his review, “If you’re new to the iPad, and you want the most compact one around (or any compact tablet), the new iPad mini 7 is the best choice.” It’s not the most exciting iPad around, but it’s great if you’re looking for something to stream shows, read e-books, and do some casual scrolling. As of Jan. 28, the base model is back down to just $399 — its lowest price on record. That’s 20% in savings.
H&R Block Tax Software Deluxe + State 2024
Tax season is upon us. If you plan on filing your own taxes, H&R Block’s Tax Software Deluxe + State 2024 is on sale for only $29.99 as of Jan. 28 — 50% in savings — and can help you maximize your credits and deductions. It includes five free federal e-files for your personal return, unlimited federal preparation and printing, one state program download included ($39.95 value), step-by-step guidance on credits and deductions, mortgage and real estate tax guidance, and a special Amazon-exclusive offer of an extra 2% refund bonus when you receive your refund as an Amazon gift card. If you’re an online shopping addict, this is a solid way to maximize your refund and get a little extra spending money this season.
Eufy Security SmartTrack Card
If you want to keep track of your stuff, but AirTags are out of your price range, the Eufy Security SmartTrack Card is a solid budget-friendly alternative at its current discount. The size of a credit card, it can slip inside of your wallet, luggage, backpack, and more. It works just like an AirTag, using Apple’s Find My network to locate your lost belongings. Sadly, though, it’s not compatible with Android devices. We haven’t had a chance to test it out ourselves, but our friends over at PCMag (also owned by Mashable’s publisher, Ziff Davis) have, and they dubbed it “a good AirTag alternative if you own an iPhone.” Snag one on sale for just $16.88 as of Jan. 28. That’s 44% in savings.
LG Gram +View 16-inch IPS Portable Monitor
An extra monitor can add even more convenience to your already portable work setup. The 16-inch LG Gram +View offers a gorgeous, high-resolution 16:10 display that plugs in via USB-C. That means there’s no need to switch tabs or squeeze all of your work onto your tiny laptop screen. It weighs just 1.5 pounds and features horizontal and vertical viewing modes for versatility. As of Jan. 28, it’s down to just $259.99 at Amazon, which is 26% in savings and just a few bucks shy of its best price ever.
