It may have been out for a few years, but the original Google Home is still one of the best Google Assistant smart speakers out there thanks to its balance of design and sound quality. Plus, you can get one for only $46.55 today at Target making it even more affordable. That's thanks to a 50% price drop to $49 plus a further discount for Target RedCard holders. Considering it usually sells for $99, you're saving over half with this limited-time deal and scoring it for the best price we've seen it hit in a long time.
The drop to $49 is retailer-wide, so you can pick up a Google Home at this price via Adorama, B&H, Best Buy, Walmart, as well as directly at Google.

If you don't have a Target RedCard, you can sign up for one for free. There are credit and debit card versions that offer basically the same benefits, though the debit version doesn't have any fees attached like the credit version as it links to your existing checking account for purchases. If you shop at Target even infrequently, it's worth having one.
