Plus, they&#8217;re compact and easy to wrap.

But that&#8217;s only half of what makes these trackers useful, because also work in reverse: You can click a Mate and it will ring your phone in case you lose that.  <\/p>\n<p>A four pack of Mate trackers for $39.99 is the lowest price Amazon has ever offered, so this isn&#8217;t an illusionary bargain, and it&#8217;s much cheaper than Apple&#8217;s competing product: A <a data-ga-click=\"1\" data-ga-template=\"Deals\" data-ga-module=\"content_body\" data-ga-element=\"offer\" data-ga-item=\"text-link\" data-ga-event_label=\"four-pack of AirTags\" href=\"https:\/\/zdcs.link\/z6DjAd?pageview_type=Standard&amp;template=Deals&amp;module=content_body&amp;element=offer&amp;item=text-link&amp;element_label=four-pack%20of%20AirTags&amp;short_url=z6DjAd&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Flifehacker.com%2Ftech%2Fapple-airtag-alternative-sale-cyber-monday-2025&amp;event_label=four-pack%20of%20AirTags\" rel=\"nofollow sponsored noopener\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"open in a new window\">four-pack of AirTags<\/a> lists for $99, and is currently on sale for $62.99. <\/p>\n<p>What stores have the best sales on Cyber Monday?<\/p>\n<p>Nowadays, both large retailers and small businesses compete for Cyber Monday shoppers, so you can expect practically every store to run sales through Monday, December 1, 2025. The \u201cbest\u201d sales depend on your needs, but in general, the biggest discounts tend to come from larger retailers that can afford lower prices: think places like Amazon, Walmart, Target, Best Buy, and Home Depot. You can find all the best sales from major retailers <a href=\"https:\/\/lifehacker.com\/money\/best-deals-live-blog\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">on our live blog<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>                What do you think so far?<\/p>\n<p>Are Cyber Monday deals worth it?<\/p>\n<p>In short, yes, Cyber Monday still offers discounts that can be rare throughout the rest of the year. If there\u2019s something you want to buy, or you\u2019re shopping for gifts, it\u2019s a good time to look for discounts on what you need, especially <a href=\"https:\/\/lifehacker.com\/tech\/best-tech-deals-black-friday-2025\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">tech sales<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/lifehacker.com\/home\/best-cordless-tool-gift-deas\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">home improvement supplies<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/lifehacker.com\/health\/best-deals-on-smartwatches-and-fitness-trackers-to-watch-for-on-black-friday\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">fitness tech<\/a>. Of course, if you need to save money, the best way to save is to not buy anything.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Are Cyber Monday deals better than Black Friday?<\/p>\n<p>Black Friday used to be bigger for major retailers and more expensive tech and appliances, while Cyber Monday was for cheaper tech and gave smaller businesses a chance to compete online. Nowadays, though, the distinction is almost meaningless. Every major retailer will offer sales on both days, and the smart move is to know what you want, use price trackers or refer to <a href=\"https:\/\/lifehacker.com\/money\/best-deals-live-blog\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">guides like our live blog<\/a> that use price trackers for you, and don\u2019t stress over finding the perfect timing.<\/p>\n<p>                    Our Best Editor-Vetted Cyber Monday Deals Right Now<\/p>\n<p>\n                Deals are selected by our commerce team<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"We may earn a commission from links on this page.
