How much do you think a Kindle Fire cost? If you answer is $199, think again. Amazon’s latest tablet is currently available for $123.38 at Walmart and Target, The Verge reports.
According to the Slickdeals‘ online forum, these offers have been spotted by customers in a few US stores of both chains – and some clients have even taken pictures of this deal.

It is also quite impressive, considering the Kindle Fire’s production costs. According to reports, each tablet costs $209.63 to manufacture.
