Because nobody actually has time to make their own, Amazon’s taking 50% or more off select Halloween costumes and accessories for men, women, and kids, today only. There are over 100 options to choose from, so be sure to check out the full selection. [50% or More Off Halloween Costumes and Accessories]

And while it’s not part of the Gold Box deal above, this $5 DuPont coverall could be the basis of a great costume as well. [DuPont TY127S Tyvek Fabric Protective Coverall with Hood, $5]

Lifehacker readers love Merkur safety razors, and you can get your very own for an all-time low price today on Amazon.

It might seem intimidating at first, but safety razors can get you a closer shave at a fraction of the cost of cartridge-based systems, and you can even try different types of blades to find one that suits your face. We’re not sure how long Amazon’s going to be shaving the price of the Merkur though, so grab yours on sale while you still can. [Merkur Classic Straight Safety Razor, $22]

We love these multi-port charging hubs, and at $15 each, you can afford to have one for your nightstand, your desk, and even your travel bag. [Aukey 50W / 10A 6 Ports USB Desktop Charging Station, $15 with code 2MBPN5LF]

If you’re lucky enough to have a $50/year Amazon Prime student membership, you can get $5 in bonus Amazon credit today when you buy a $25 gift card. That’s basically free money! [Amazon Student Members Get a $25 Amazon Gift Card Plus $5 in Amazon Credit for $25. Promo code STUDWEEK]

If you’re a college student, and don’t have Prime, you can sign up for a 6 month free trial here.

Yes, the Nexus 6 has been replaced by the new 6P, but it’s still a great phone if you don’t need the latest and greatest tech, and you can get one for just $300 unlocked today, which is $200 less than the new model. [Nexus 6, $300]

If you hate chopping onions, garlic, and peppers by hand, but don’t have the space (or the cash) for a full-size food processor, this $32 KitchenAid Food Chopper might be what you’re looking for. It only has two speeds, but its reviews are solid, and it’ll get the job done for basic recipes. $32 is also a match for the lowest price Amazon’s ever listed, so grab one before it shoots back up. [KitchenAid 3.5-Cup Food Chopper, $32]

The MacBook is too slow. The MacBook Air has a bad screen. The new 13” MacBook Pro though lacks any glaring weaknesses (and even has the new Force Touch Trackpad), and you can save $220 on the 256GB model today on eBay, with no sales tax for most buyers. I bought this exact model the day it was announced, and couldn’t be happier with it. If you have any questions about it, hit me up in the comments. [2015 Apple MacBook Pro 256GB, $1280]

If you’re the proud owner of a new iPhone 6s, or just want to keep your older iPhone 6 in great condition, you can get a 2-pack of tempered glass screen protectors today for just $3, one of the best prices we’ve ever seen for an item like this.

Reviewers indicate that the glass is thin enough that it doesn’t interfere with 3D Touch on the new iPhones, which doesn’t seem to be the case with all glass screen protectors, so you can buy with confidence. [2-Pack iPhone 6/6s Glass Screen Protectors, $3 with code VWSDJU7B]

Sony’s Alpha A7 famously crammed a full frame image into an impossibly compact body, and the A7 II adds new goodies like 5-axis optical image stabilization and improved autofocus. If you’re ready to make a serious investment in photography, you can get the body today for $1349. That’s about $350 less than elsewhere, and the best deal we’ve seen. [Sony Alpha a7 II Body, $1349]

You named the iOttie One Touch your favorite smartphone car mount last year, and today both the standard and XL variants are marked down to $12 on Amazon with promo code OPVECVJ5, a match for best prices we’ve ever seen. Unfortunately, the newer iOttie One Touch 2 isn’t included in this deal, but these older models are still insanely popular.

Note: For the code to work, the mounts must be sold by iOttie, not by Amazon. The links below should take you to the right place, but if you’re having trouble make sure you’re buying from the right seller.

Even if you live in an Apple-powered household, you probably have a few miscellaneous gadgets lying around that charge over MicroUSB, instead of Lightning. Rather than maintaining two different charging cable collections, this $8 option from Foxnovo can act as both. [Foxnovo 2-in-1 Lightning/MicroUSB Cable, $8 with code I4SL85IE]

These little silicone squeeze bottles are perfect packing sunscreen, soap, or shampoo for a short trip, and at $10 for a 3-pack, there’s really no reason not to grab a set. They even include built-in suction cups to stick to your shower wall. [MyFriday Silicone Packing Bottles (Pack of 3), $10]

Today only, Amazon is offering terrific prices on a pair Battlestar Galactica box sets. $89 gets you the rebooted series on Blu-ray, which is within a couple bucks of an all-time low, or you can get the original series on DVD for just $19, which is the best price ever listed. Just remember that this is a Gold Box deal, meaning these prices are only available today, or until sold out.

Battlestar Galactica: The Complete Series ($89) | Amazon

Battlestar Galactica: The Complete Epic (Original) Series [DVD] ($19) | Amazon

If you’re already committed to getting your hands on every piece of Fallout 4 content available, Green Man Gaming is taking $7 off the season pass for PC today. [Fallout 4 - Season Pass, $23 with code 23PERC-AUTUMN-SAVING]

The same code will get you a preorder of the base game for $46.

Tweetbot for Mac is one of a small handful of apps that I couldn’t live without, and they’re celebrating their 2.1 update with a tidy little discount today. [Tweetbot, $10. Normally $13]

And in case you missed it, Tweetbot’s excellent iOS app also got its long-awaited 4.0 update. If you have the previous version, you’ll always be able to upgrade for $5 by buying an app bundle, but if you’re new to the app, you can get it for the same price for a limited time. [Tweetbot 4, $5. Will rise to $10 after a launch promotion]

If you’re planning on spending Halloween at home, watching horror movies and passing out candy to trick or treaters, Amazon’s taking an extra 20% off select Mars candy packs today. Just be sure to grab multiple bags; Halloween’s still a few weeks away, so you’re probably going to end up devouring at least one yourself.

Note: you won’t see your discount until checkout. [Extra 20% off Mars Halloween Candy]

We’ve seen a lot of nice deals on Qualcomm Quick Charge 2.0-compatible chargers lately, but $10 for a 4-port model (though only one is a QuickCharge port) is basically unprecedented. [Kmashi USB Quick Charge 2.0 Wall Charger, 33W 4 Ports Turbo Fast Charger Adapter Desktop Charging Station Power Supply, $10 with code 2IJLYATG]
