Alexa and Google-enabled smart plugs are under $5 for the first time in months

• People stuck at home during coronavirus lockdown have been finding all sorts of nifty new things to do with Wi-Fi smart plugs.
• If you haven’t already gotten in on the action, Amazon is offering 4-packs of Aoycocr Mini Smart Plugs for just $19.79 with a special coupon.
• That drops the per-plug price to just $4.95, which is the lowest price we’ve seen in months for Alexa and Google Assistant-compatible smart plugs.

There is no question whatsoever right now as far as which product is the most popular among BGR Deals readers. Amazon’s best-selling face masks are literally flying off the virtual store shelves, and it’s easy to see why since the CDC recommends that all of us wear face masks like these every single time we have to leave our homes. Sure you can make your own using t-shirts and DIY instructions you find online, but these are far more effective and they’re only $0.80 each. It’s certainly easy to see why they’re so popular.

As important as face masks are right now — though we should note that they’re only effective when used in combination with strict social distancing and good hygiene — there are other things our readers have been buying up as well. One example is smart plugs, which also makes sense. We’re all stuck at home for quite a while, so why not spend some of that time indoors creating cool smart home solutions?

Another reason smart plugs are so popular right now is because of sales like the one we’re about to show you. Aoycocr Mini Smart Plugs are some of the most popular ones we cover, and they’re also very well-rated on Amazon. 4-packs are typically $33, which is the going rate on Amazon for many brands, but there’s a sale right now that slashes them down to the lowest price we’ve seen in months. Just use the coupon code 40ULRNRJ at checkout and you can pick up a 4-pack of Aoycocr Mini Smart Plugs for just $19.79 total. That’s only $4.95 per plug!
