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.
While no details have emerged on how long this promotion will last, this is definitely a considerable discount compared to Amazon’s own pricing.

But if the Kindle Fire is on your shopping list this holiday season, you may still want to give it a good try.
