For some reason, Apple rarely runs sales. If you're looking for ways to stock up on MacBooks, iPhones, iPads and more at a discount, on way to go is for refurbished devices.
While these devices have been vetted for functionality to ensure you're not grabbing a lemon, the real benefit is that refurbished Apple products are usually hundreds of dollars off the original price tag.
