We blinked and the Amazon Big Spring Sale came and went. But just because the official sale has wrapped doesn’t mean the deals have vanished. There are plenty of discounts sticking around post-sale, and you bet we’re keeping an eye on them. We’ve rounded up a few of the best deals you can still shop as of April 1.
Here are our top picks for the best Amazon deals of the day. None of these catching your eye? Check out our running list of all the best deals still live from the sale.
Our top pick: Apple iPad, 10th generation
Opens in a new window
Although the Big Spring Sale is over, the 10th generation iPad is still on sale for a very affordable $269 (23% off its usual $349), thanks to a newer model dropping last month. (Note that this sale price may only be available in some areas.) That’s just $10 shy of its best price ever from last Black Friday. Don’t count it out because a newer generation is in town; the 10th generation iPad is still our top pick for anyone on a budget. It packs an A14 Bionic chip, a 10.9-inch Liquid Retina display, a landscape camera layout that makes video calls appear better, and upgraded stereo speakers for better sound quality. “It’s perfect for someone who wants a portable screen for streaming, playing games, and reading,” Mashable Shopping Reporter Sam Mangino writes.
Sony SRS-XG300 Bluetooth speaker

“If you’re looking for an easily portable outdoor speaker that delivers some serious thunder, the SRS-XG300 earns our Editors’ Choice,” our friends at PCMag (also owned by Ziff Davis) summed up in their review. Offering 25 hours of battery power, a 10-minute charge boost that delivers another 70 minutes, colorful LED lights, and in-app sound customization, they deemed it as powerful as it is portable. A bit steep on a regular day at $349.99, you can grab it on April 1 for only $142.95. That’s 59% in savings and its lowest price on record.
Kindle Paperwhite Kids
Opens in a new window
The only Kindle deal to stick around post-Big Spring Sale is the Kindle Paperwhite Kids at 22% off (the others end at 12 p.m. ET). As of April 1, it’s still sitting at $139.99 instead of the usual $179.99. It’s a bit heftier than the typical Paperwhite, which makes for a sturdier design that can stand up to any kid’s destructive tendencies (within reason). Parents can monitor the content their child is consuming via built-in parental controls, plus it comes with six free months of Amazon Kids+, which is loaded with lots of age-appropriate books. It’s our favorite Kindle for kiddos.
Roku Wireless Soundbar

If you have a Roku TV, but wish it sounded better, snag yourself the Roku Wireless Soundbar while it’s back on sale for 33% off. Usually $149.99, it’s down to just $99.99 once again post-Big Spring Sale. It’s not packed with a ton of fancy features, but it can “drastically improve the sound your Roku TV can put out,” as our friends at PCMag (also owned by Ziff Davis) put it. Not to mention, it can seamlessly fit into any entertainment space and requires no cables to set it up.
Google Pixel Buds Pro 2
Opens in a new window
Last summer, Google dropped a new pair of Pixel Buds Pro. The second rendition leans heavily into AI, for better or worse, to drastically improve noise cancellation, enhance phone calls, and automatically detect IRL conversations so you don’t have to remove them to talk to someone. They also promise a better fit, boosted battery life, and a lighter and smaller design. While we haven’t tested them ourselves, our sister site PCMag did and found them to be “great for Pixel users and good for everyone else.” Usually $229, they’re back on sale for only $179 at Amazon as of April 1. That’s 22% in savings.
