Amazon seems to be running a bunch of sequential flash deals on echo devices, so I don’t know how long this one will last:
( these are the newest generations of each of these two devices. The first generation echo was so successful that they took a while before they came out with the second. The dot needed a little more tuning to get the sound right. )
If you buy them separately from Kohls during black Friday, they are $69 + $24 = $93
and you get $15 Kohls cash. Add $7 more to your purchase and you have $30 Kohls cash that you can use towards other purchases. On top, if you are rewards member, you get $5 coupon for your 100 points. Total out of pocket $65.
I have my living room Dot connected to my AVR, but I do not like to keep my AVR on all the time. So I created a Harmony activity called “Receiver” which turns on my receiver and switches to bluetooth. I just tell Alexa to turn on receiver when I want to stream.
The same deal is available online @ Kohls. After all discounts and coupons my total out of pocket for echo 2nd gen + dot 3rd gen would be around $60 ( $30 Kohls cash, $5 Yes2You + $5 no hurry ).
