If there's one thing we've learned from Jalopnik, it's that you should really have a dashcam in your car. Hopefully it never has to record anything too scary, but they can seriously come in handy if you ever have to file an insurance claim. [Esky 2.4-inch Full HD H.264 1080P Car Vehicle DVR, $50 with code CARDVR06]

You'll need a MicroSD card to go with it, but Amazon's got you covered there too.

You can never have too much flash storage lying around, and Amazon's discounting a nice collection of Sony SD cards, MicroSD cards, and flash drives, today only. The prices are all great, but the Android compatible flash drives are probably the most exciting items in the bunch.

This is a Gold Box deal, so these prices are only valid today, but many of the most popular items could sell out early. [ Amazon]

Not only is Amazon taking $50 (33%) off the preorder price of the new HyperX Cloud II gaming headsets, they're tossing in a rugged Kingston 16GB flash drive to boot. [preorder HyperX Cloud II Gaming Headset w/ Free Kingston Digital HyperX FURY 16GB USB 3.0 Drive, $100]

Apple wants to replace your wallet with the iPhone 6 and Apple Pay, but in the meantime, you could at least consolidate. [ FRiEQ iPhone 6 Wallet Case - Premium PU leather Wallet Case with Card Slots, ID Holders and Cash Compartment, $16 with code RIQ34UMT]

We've got a pair of nice deals on great laptops today, the most impressive of which is a fully-loaded Lenovo Y40-80. $899 gets you a brand new Broadwell Core i7 processor, 512GB SSD (yeah, really), 8GB of RAM, and an AMD Radeon R9 M275 GPU. Needless to say, this should suffice for all but the most power-hungry laptop owners. [Lenovo Y40-80, $899 with code USPY4US128]

If a MacBook Air is more your style, here's an 11" Haswell model with 256GB of storage for $849, plus 6 months of Parallels Access 2.0. [11" MacBook Air 256GB SSD, $849]

You've still got just enough time (if you pick up in-store) to upgrade your home theater sound system in time for Sunday. [ Panasonic 3.1 Channel Soundbar System w/ Wireless Subwoofer, $150]

If you're like me, you can't keep up with all the podcasts you want to listen to. Having a Bluetooth speaker in the shower would help. [ Waterproof Rugged Wireless Bluetooth 3.0 Outdoor / Shower 5W Driver Speaker, $14 with code FSDYGRP8]

Need some extra juice for your phone or tablet? Take it to go.

If you've somehow never seen Firefly, or even if you just don't own it, you should fix that today for an all-time low $13. [ Firefly: The Complete Series, $13]

Catch up on some of your old favorite TV series with this sale from Best Buy. Most of the deals aren't amazing, but they're decent if any of the shows appeal to you. [Several Complete TV Series Collections are On Sale Today at Best Buy]

You'd think everyone who reads these deals posts would be all set on USB charging hubs by now, but they're incredibly popular every time we post them. [Inateck 30W 4-Port Desktop USB Travel Charger, $11 with code K9TGMKZY]

The WD My Passport Ultra is one of the most popular portable hard drives we list, and the 2TB model is down to $80 today. [ WD My Passport Ultra 2TB, $80]

Want to try out a gaming mouse, without investing in something really high end? This Etekcity mouse has been popular among our readers in the past, and has terrific reviews for the price.

We've waxed poetic about Brother laser printers countless times, but if you're still fighting an old Inkjet at your house, you've got two great options to upgrade today.

Both of these printers support Google Cloud Print and AirPrint, and both use long-lasting toner cartridges, rather than expensive ink. Plus, after factoring in the gift card, both essentially cost $80. The only real difference is the scanner/copier bed on the HL-2380DW, so unless it sells out, or if you need something more compact, that's probably the one to get.

If you need some Xbox Live Gold to go with that, GameStop has it for $40. [ 12 Month Xbox Live Gold, $40]
