Best Buy released a “Best Buy Drops” feature on its app in the fall of 2023, offering a peek into high-profile product releases, limited runs, launches, and limited-time deals with some of the lowest prices I’ve ever seen. You can also see previous Drops to get an idea of the kind of products they include, like the Xbox Series X, 4K smart TVs, and iPads for record low prices.
How Best Buy Drops works
You’ll need to have an account with Best Buy, but not necessarily one of the paid ones (although joining My Best Buy Plus or My Best Buy Total will give you further discounts on some of those products). You’ll be prompted to verify your account with your email and gain access to the app. Once in, go to the “Drops" tab on the bottom of the screen to find limited-time deals on categories like gaming consoles and accessories, wearable devices, e-transportation products, small appliances, smart homes, toys, and more. Most weeks, Best Buy will update the Drop list with new upcoming deals.
Where to get Best Buy Drop deals
Upcoming products will appear on the Best Buy app under the "upcoming drops" tab and past products on the "past drops” tab, but you will only see the discount when the product has a live deal. Live deals usually start at 11 a.m. ET on the day the product is listed to drop and lasts until around 6 p.m. ET or until the supplies are gone. You will see a percentage bar indicating how much of the inventory has been bought. If you see a particular product you’re interested in, you can always opt-in to Drop Alerts and receive push notifications when the Drop goes live.
Next drop
Last year, HP tried to bring back the all-in-one portable desktop with the HP Envy Move, which is currently listed for $999.99. According to the price comparison tools I use, it has gone down to $799.99 before. For reference, the same computer dropped to $849.99 last week on the HP website. You're likely to get a new record low price, judging from past Best Buy Drop deals, but it remains to be seen exactly what price it will sell for. Keep in mind you can only access this deal through your phone using the Best Buy app. This deal will be live through 6 p.m. Eastern on Feb. 13 until or until they sell out (it will likely sell out). You can read the full "excellent" PCMag review here.
If you're interested, make sure to follow the instructions above, download the app, and get in the queue as soon as possible for the best chance to score the HP Envy Move at its lowest price.

Upcoming drops
Next on the list is the Shark MessMaster Portable Wet/Dry Vacuum which is currently $99.99 (originally $129.99). It will go on sale Feb. 14, likely starting at 11 a.m. Eastern, like the other products in the app. Remember, you can always sign up for the push notifications and set up your app and profile before 11 a.m. Eastern if you want to be reminded of the drop.

On Feb. 15, the Arlo Pro 4 Spotlight Camera Security Bundle will go on sale on the app. It is currently $249.99 (originally $599.99), which is the lowest price I've seen after checking price comparison tools. But once it drops, you can probably expect a new record low price.

On Feb. 21, the Dyson V8 Cordless Vacuum will go on sale. It is currently $349.99 (originally $469.99), but it looks like it has gone down to $280 after checking price comparison tools. You're likely to score a record low price if you manage to get one once it drops.
