Smart displays make great alarm clocks and kitchen helpers, and they just keep getting more affordable. Google's first-ever smart display, 2018's Nest Hub (formerly Home Hub), is still plenty capable of doing all things smart display, and with a few years under its belt, it's known to get steeply discounted. Right now, Verizon's got it at a great price: 40 stinkin' bucks, more than 66 percent off its launch price.

The smaller Nest Hub doesn't have a camera for video calls or security, and it doesn't have the newer model's fancy sleep-monitoring tech. But it can still set timers, answer questions, and play podcasts with the best of 'em, and at $40, it's almost hard not to buy one.
