When you see a Staff Pick deal, you know someone at Castle DealNews has declared it a particularly noteworthy bargain. So allow us to quickly highlight some of the... um... highlights. (Of what are already highlights. It recurs.)

Pro Deal Tip: There's many more Staff Pick deals beyond the ones we've highlighted here. Keep scrollin' to see them all.


Live Nation Concert WeekLive Nation Concert Week
Store: Live Nation
Price: All tickets down to $25
Expiration: May 14

$25 to see Iron Maiden? There has to be some sort of catch but apparently not. I paid over $100 last year and I don't regret a single cent spent but in the name of Eddie, how is Live Nation offering these tickets for so cheap? Deep Purple, Drive-By Truckers, and Megadeth are some of the other featured artists along with others whose collective band member's age isn't in the multiple hundreds.



Microsoft All-in-One Media KeyboardMicrosoft All-in-One Media Keyboard
Store: eBay
Price: $18.99
Shipping: Free shipping
Lowest By: $2

I must apologize for this only being the second best price we've ever seen for this keyboard. I feel like I've really let you down terribly. This then begs the question, why highlight this keyboard at all if it's only a silver medalist and a low by $2? This is a mystery you'll have to speculate upon and ultimately solve alone, without my assistance. It'll be much more satisfying that way.



Dell Inspiron 15 12th-Gen i7 15.6" 1080p Laptop w/ 16GB RAM and 1TB SSDDell Inspiron 15 12th-Gen i7 15.6" 1080p Laptop w/ 16GB RAM and 1TB SSD
Store: Dell Technologies
Price: $519.99
Shipping: Free shipping
Lowest By: $180
Expiration: May 21

You don't often see a laptop for $520 with a 120Hz refresh rate display but this is that. $180 off, the best price we've seen so far, and the silky smooth comforts of a 120Hz display are the highlights. Consider them highlighted.



adidas Men's Basic Polo Shirtadidas Men's Basic Polo Shirt
Store: Proozy
Price: $8.50 via code "PZYPLS"
Shipping: $8.95 s&h, or free shipping w/ $75
Lowest By: $31
Expiration: May 14

You might wonder what makes this polo shirt so basic compared to some of the other polo shirts on sale at Proozy right now. For example, there's a Columbia polo shirt called "HIGH STAKES", which sounds very exciting. "E-Tech Jersey" is in there. These all sound very exciting. But perhaps adidas simply knows the secret: no one needs their polo shirt to be exciting. It just needs to exist, in this case at $31 off its regular price. And to that, there can only be one reply:



Costco Gold Star 1-Year Membership w/ $40 Digital Costco Shop CardCostco Gold Star 1-Year Membership w/ $40 Digital Costco Shop Card
Store: StackSocial
Price: $60
Lowest By: $40
Expiration: May 12

Is it a coincidence that right as Sam's Club offers a huge discount on a membership, Costco barges in waving around a $40 gift card? Not only is it almost certainly a coincidence, it's also a fun way to pit two retail giants against each other in gladiatorial combat. To Sam's Club, we give the sword and shield. To Costco, a trident. To BJ's, who we'll include on a whim, we give that dumb net thing. What was that. And now they must fight to the death. And while they distracted with that, we'll eat all their hot dogs.
