Bargain hunters are busy amid seasonal discounts and "going out of business" sales by at least two retailing chains.

Naturally, Amazon is offering discounts on some of its Echo smart home devices. The best deal is the Amazon Echo Pop on sale for $17, but you can also score the Echo Dot, Echo Spot, and select Echo Show smart displays for about half-price.

There are usually two types of people on Dec. 26: those who never want to open their wallet again and those who are still swept up by the holiday (spending) spirit (that post-Christmas aftershock can hit hard and fast) — but after-Christmas sales somehow temp both.
