Staples [staples.com] is selling the Amazon Echo (4th Gen) Wi-Fi, Bluetooth Wireless Smart Speaker, Charcoal (B07XKF5RM3) for $55.49 + free shipping. 1-hour pickup option is available at local stores if it's in-stock and you prefer to have it in-hand today instead of waiting a few days for delivery (or if you prefer to avoid your clumsy delivery people ).

In comparison, Amazon [amazon.com] is currently selling this at only $64.99 (MSRP of $99.99).

Note that this "Echo (4th Gen)" is the 5.7" sphere, which is NOT the same as the cheaper "Echo Dot (5th Gen)" which is a 3.9" sphere. The "Echo (4th Gen)" also has built-in Zigbee smart home hub, which the "Echo Dot (5th Gen)" does not.

Slicker Deal - try to get additional $10 off (YMMV)
If you already have a $10 off $50 coupon (check your emails), that should work for this item. But if you don't have that coupon, you can try to get one by clicking around the Staples website while signed into your account. But fair warning: this method is not guaranteed and you may receive your coupon immediately or in a few days or never, which means you may miss the deal if it's all sold out or if the price jumps back up. With that said, if you're only willing to jump on this deal at $45.49 (instead of $55.49), then try clicking on items around the same price point as this "Echo (4th Gen)" while signed into your Staples account. Then close your browser. Staples *might* send you a $10 off $50 coupon (or similar) to try to entice you to purchase from them. This seems to sometimes work for me, because I think the Staples algorithm thinks you're mulling the purchase over in your mind. Fwiw, Staples sent me a $10 off $50 coupon after I looked at the solar eclipse glasses [staples.com] they were selling, and they sent me emails titled "We held onto this for you." and "You're in luck, here's $10 off when you spend $50+." with the aforementioned $10 off $50 coupon.

Slickest Deal - buy 4 and use $50 off $200 coupon code 80104 (this code may expire soon)
This would take off $12.50 off each "Echo (4th Gen)" bringing price of each unit down to $43. But you should only do this if you want 4 of these.
