Perks and Rec: The best deals on Super Bowl essentials

It’s official: The Kansas City Chiefs and the San Francisco 49ers are headed to this year’s Super Bowl. While the teams make their game plan, let’s focus on yours. Whether you’re the host of a giant party or bringing buffalo chicken dip to a friend’s house, you should get prepared before the things you need sell out. 

Our favorite TV for bright rooms is on sale today at Amazon. Our tester said it has “an impressively punchy palette of colors” and has excellent local dimming features. Pair it with a soundbar we love and an outstanding streaming device for the ultimate Super Bowl screen. 

If you’re whipping up a spread for your friends and family, you need the best tools. This air fryer toaster oven combo from Ninja is the most versatile we’ve ever tested, so it’s great for expanding your oven space on the big day. We also love this pressure cooker for chili, dips, meatballs and more. 

Enjoy your Monday,
