1. $50 off: Our all-time favorite Fitbit
Fitness trackers are all the rage nowadays. The brand's popular health-tracking devices have certainly changed the game when it comes to physical wellness, thanks to handy features, such as step counting and sleep tracking. Right now, there are a few models on sale at Amazon, including our No.1 Fitbit pick, the Fitbit Charge 4. Normally $149.95, it's now just under $100 with a $50 price drop. (note that it's $10 cheaper at Sam's Club.) In testing, we were huge fans of its comprehensive activity capabilities, like the hourly reminders to walk 250 steps, and built-in GPS for runs, walks and hikes. Additionally, it was impressively accurate in its sleeping tracking abilities, giving us in-depth data about how much and what kind of sleep we were getting (light, deep, REM). It was super comfortable to wear, and the accompanying app was easy to use, too.

2. Down 28%: This useful smoke and carbon monoxide detector
Shoppers can nab this First Alert BRK SC7010B smoke and carbon monoxide detector at Amazon this weekend for $31.49, which is 28% off its retail price of $43.90. Complete with a 4.6-star rating from more than 900 shoppers, folks were quite pleased with this safety device, which is designed to sense any smoke or carbon monoxide (CO) in your space. Despite being a hardwired gadget, it also has a battery backup in case of power outages, meaning that you'll have 24/7 monitoring in case of an emergency. Additionally, it features electrochemical CO technology and a photoelectric sensor, which helps to analyze your space and discover the distance of your home—both of which are equipped with 360-degree access—even in fires. There's a 10-year-long warranty, and there's even an "end-of-life" sound that will alert you when your detector is running out of power.

3. More than half-off: AncestryDNA
Through today, November 15, only, folks can snag the AncestryDNA genetic ethnicity test for $47, which is down $52 from its retail price of $99. With a huge database of information, we were absolutely fascinated by AncestryDNA's informative results, which helped our tester gain a new understanding about her family's history. There are some awesome features, too, like precise ethnicity breakdowns and the ability to build a family tree and connect with distant relatives. You can also sign up for an Ancestry membership (prices starting from $79 for a 3-month World Explorer membership), that can be added for an additional fee to gain access to thousands of public records and create a full family tree

4. A $6 markdown: This 1.7-liter electric kettle
Whether you're a tea addict or appreciate the slow process of pour-over coffee, the Cosori 1.7-liter glass electric kettle, once $39.99 and now $33.99 when you check the $6 coupon beneath the price, is a great option. Aside from its affordable price point, we featured it in our roundup of the best electric kettles because its performance was generally impressive: It only took about 5-and-a-half minutes to boil water, and the glass design results in a rather beautiful experience, too. There aren't any temperature controls, however, so you'll want to be mindful of that when you decide to turn this baby off.
