There’s next to no reason to buy an iPad “Pro” when you can get a MBA for $50 more.
Many people use iPads and Macs very differently though

Is it just my imagination or are we somewhat routinely hearing about "all time low sale prices"?

No. It is not your imagination by any means. It is what it is. I know better because I know how the game of advertising works. It's called "persuasive", "sense of urgency" and "autosuggestion" to trigger the psychological need to go and spend. Not me. I don't think these are great deals, to be honest. I rather purchase a model about a year or two older and get a loaded MacBook Pro for about nearly half the price of the latest and the greatest model, which may or may not be loaded. That's just me. I worked too hard for my money, and I'm very practical with my finances.

Obviously all the store chains and Amazon reducing inventory before new iPad models arrive. Specially interesting when also the base iPad and iPad mini are included which some doubt would be updated earlier this year. Like Apple decided to do the M3 MBA first then all these iPads if I had to guess. M3 Mac minis should be close too.
