If you've been toying with trying out a fire stick in your house, this is a great time to swipe up this classic model while it is 50% off its usual price of $40, saving you $20 ahead of October Prime Big Deal Days 2024. This is the same price we saw during Amazon's July Prime Day. 

The Fire TV Stick lets you enjoy a vibrant, HD cinematic experience in your own living room, and it's even equipped with Dolby Atmos audio capabilities on select titles. 

I grabbed this Fire Stick last year during the July Prime Day sale, and it is my favorite tech purchase to date, especially as a 20-something between college and post-grad life. The original price of $40 isn't too much of a damper on your pocket, but scoring this for just $20 made me jump to try it last year. 

The Fire TV Stick is compatible with HD TVs and although most televisions are already designated as smart right out of the box, adding a streaming device to any non-Fire TV, such as this Fire Stick, helps to streamline and elevate your viewing experience.

Best of all, the Fire TV Stick features the power and volume button on one remote.
