Here are the best deals you can shop on Oct. 3, seamlessly sorted for your shopping convenience.

Best Amazon device deal

Why we like it

Rekindle your interest in reading with the elegant 2021 edition of the Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition. A nearly perfect device for those who’d like to read more, as Mashable’s tech reporter Alex Perry noted in his review, the Signature Edition Paperwhite features a bigger 6.8-inch display, weeks-long battery life, a flawless form factor fit for one-handed readers, wireless charging, auto-adjusting front light, and 32GB of storage (opposed to 8GB). Pricing is the biggest concern with this particular model, but with this Prime members-only deal, you can score the Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition without ads, as well as a wireless charging dock and Amazon leather cover for less than the device typically costs on its own.

Best streaming deal

Why we like it

With the new Amazon Fire TV Cube (3rd gen) set to debut on Oct. 25, it comes as no surprise that the 2nd gen device is on sale for 50% off — but it’s welcome news, nonetheless. The new release is expected to perform 20 percent faster, offer an industry-first HDMI input port, and feature a 4K upscaling feature, but if these features aren’t super important to your viewing experience, you can save $80 by snagging this deal on the previous generation.

Best kitchen deal

Why we like it

A classic home essential, the original Crockpot Manual Slow Cooker is the ultimate helper in the kitchen. With a seven-quart capacity, you can throw in all of your ingredients and let it do its thing. In four to 12 hours (depending on temperature), it will have your meal ready to serve nine plus people. While $29.99 isn’t the lowest price it’s ever been, it does match the lowest price we’ve seen in over a year. Save 40% on the must-have kitchen device.
