Amazon has the Echo Dot for just $39.99 right now! (regularly $49.99) I know that $10.00 off doesn’t seem like an amazing discount, but it is on this item. This is the lowest Amazon has dropped the price on the Echo Dot. It looks like it won’t be in stock until December 27th. But you can order it now at this low price and Amazon will notify you when it is ready to ship.
