REI slashes prices on tents, backpacks, and gear for its Outlet sale

By

When it comes to outdoor gear, gadgets, and garments, there is really only one retailer you should be worrying about — REI. Not only does it house brands like Osprey, Hydro Flask, MSR, and Oakley, it also offers extremely generous discounts on all of those products from time to time. As we approach the last hurrahs of summer, now is a great time to nab some sweet savings on all of the outdoor gear you realized you needed while you were out on the trail. REI Outlet, in particular, provides hundreds of great backpacks, tents, hammocks, and jackets at affordable prices year-round, and with the REI Outlet sale going on right now, those prices have dropped as much as 70 percent.

From now until Monday, August 13, you can find handpicked gear at ridiculously low prices from REI. Stock flies off the shelves rather quickly, so if you’re interested in something, don’t hesitate — it could be gone by tomorrow.

Whether you’re camping with your family, friends, or by yourself, the tent is going to be your home base. There are many things you need to consider when buying a tent, however. If you’re going to be doing a lot of hiking and moving around, you need something light and portable that won’t slow you down. Whereas if you’re housing three to four people at a single campsite, you likely want something a little bit more heavy-duty. Whatever you need, you won’t find better deals on name-brand tents than what REI has right now.

Chamberlain myQ Smart Garage Security Camera -- $40, was $50

While this is ostensibly made for your garage, there's no reason the Chamberlain myQ Smart Garage can't work for other uses as well, especially if you don't need the highest quality of recording. It has an HD camera, which isn't a ton, but it does have an impressive 130-degree field of view. The MyQ also connects through dual-band Wi-Fi for a better connection, and it even has two-way communication, which is impressive for something at this price bracket.

This Dell 27-inch monitor is $200 in its Memorial Day sale

While you may know Dell as the company that owns Alienware, one of the best laptop brands on the market, Dell itself actually does a lot of different types of gear. For example, it has a wide range of excellent monitors, but if you're looking for something with good specs and price, this Dell 27 Monitor is a solid option. Even better, there is an excellent early Memorial Day sale on it from Dell that brings it down to $200 rather than the usual $220 it goes for. While that isn't a huge discount, constituting only $20, it was already a pretty good price before the discount, so this is just a cherry on top.

Why you should buy the Dell 27 Monitor
As the name might imply, the Dell 27 Monitor comes with a 27-inch screen, and it runs a 2560 x 1440 resolution, which is actually perfect for this screen size since a 4K resolution tends to be wasted for anything smaller than 32 inches. Interestingly, it has a base refresh rate of 100Hz, which makes it an excellent choice for gaming, especially since the majority of GPUs can't really push more than that at 2k. So, if you have something like an RTX 4070 or equivalent, you'll be able to utilize the card fully, and if you have a worse GPU, then you'll still have the option to either prioritize graphical settings or refresh rate.

LG has already started its Memorial Day OLED TV sale

If you're on the hunt for OLED TV deals, you should know that LG has already launched its Memorial Day sale for all kinds of tech-- and yes, that includes OLED TVs. With the holiday around the corner, you can already get the 65-inch LG B3 OLED 4K TV for $1,200 instead of $2,400 for savings of $1,200, the 65-inch LG C3 OLED 4K TV for $1,600 instead of $2,500 for savings of $900, and the 65-inch LG G3 OLED 4K TV for $2,300 instead of $3,300 for savings of $1,000.

OLED TVs use organic light-emitting diodes that eliminate the need for a backlight, and since the behavior of each pixel can be controlled, they can create perfect black levels that other types of TVs aren't able to achieve. OLED TVs also offer wide viewing angles and ultra-thin designs, and with OLED technology being LG's calling card as one of the best TV brands, you can't go wrong with any of these models that are on sale. You're going to have to hurry though -- the Memorial Day sale has just started, but it's not a good idea to wait until the last minute before making your purchase because discounts may change and stock may run out.
