Top Deals

The 750 EVO is Samsung’s first foray into the entry-level SSD market, and the largest 500GB model is on sale today for just $120 in a PC accessory Amazon Gold Box, or $30 less than usual.

The 750 EVO offers performance fairly close to the 850 EVO, though it’s optimized for somewhat less strenuous workflows, according to Anandtech. Still, if your machine is still running on a old-school spinning hard drive, this would be a massive upgrade for a relatively small price.

Even if you don’t need to upgrade your PC, you could still install this into a discounted SSD enclosure to build your own super-fast external drive.

The deal is part of a much larger Amazon Gold box featuring deals on monitors, PC components, networking gear, and more, so be sure to head over to Amazon to see the rest of the discounts.

It’s 2016, and your headphones don’t need wires anymore. Luckily, BuyDig’s taking $30 off Sony’s popular and well-reviewed MDRXB950BT Bluetooth over-ears today. That’s a match for the best price we’ve ever seen, and you even get to pick from three different colors.

Range extenders can’t perform miracles, but if there’s a corner of your house that doesn’t get reliable Wi-Fi reception, they might be all you need. Three different 802.11ac models are on sale in today’s Amazon Gold Box, so there’s never been a better day to banish your dead zones.

My advice? Go with this powerline model.

These are all part of a huge Amazon Gold box on various PC components, accessories, and networking gear, so be sure to head over to Amazon to see the rest of the discounts.

If you missed out on the Steam Link and Steam Controller discounts during the summer sale, Amazon’s marked them both back down to $35, matching an all-time low.

I wouldn’t normally post a deal on a floor fan that wasn’t made by Dyson, but this one from Rowenta actually looks pretty cool.

Like many fans, the Rowenta Turbo Silence oscillates, features an adjustable base, and lets you toggle between multiple speeds, but its headlining feature is its quietness. Depending on the speed, it only puts out 40-57 decibels, according to Rowenta, which is somewhere between “library” and “quiet conversation.” You can pick one up for $80 right now from Amazon’s Gold Box, but that price is only valid today, so grab yours before it blows away.

Ninja makes your favorite affordable blenders, but if you’re willing to step up in price a bit, you can get the 1500W Nutri Ninja Blender Duo for $130 today, an all-time low.

In addition to the extremely powerful motor, the Duo includes three different blending jars, so you don’t have to wash a giant pitcher every time you feel like making yourself a smoothie.

Just note that this model is already backordered, but it typically sells for $160-$200, so it’s probably worth the wait.

We shared the first deal on these Rubbermaid FreshWorks containers a few weeks ago, and on a couple of occasions since, and you guys have bought thousands of them, to the point that Amazon has killed the deal within hours each time we posted it. If you missed out, or just want more of them, the two-pack is back on sale for $17 today, down from $20.

So, what’s the big deal? First, each FreshWorks product includes a “crisp tray” which elevates your produce off the bottom of the container, giving moisture a place to drip, and air enough room to flow. Second and most importantly, the lids feature special filters that regulate the flow of oxygen and CO2 into and out of the containers. All told, Rubbermaid claims keeps food fresh up to 80% longer than store packaging.

It may sounds too good to be true, but customer reviews are fantastic, and Amazon’s taking offering a 2-piece set for $17 today, matching an all-time low. If they save just a few batches of arugula or scoops of blueberries that you would have otherwise thrown out, they’ll have already paid for themselves.

Just when you thought you knew everything there was to know about cable management, the depths of Amazon toss you a surprise. This magnetic cable clip system includes one magnetic base that you can stick anywhere via its included adhesive, and three magnetic clips that you attach to your most-used cables, allowing them to stick to the base effortlessly.

There are surely less expensive cable holders out there—we post deals on them frequently—but the allure of just dropping your cable onto a magnetic base and knowing that it’ll stay put is awfully tempting.

We’ve never seen a Philips Hue Bloom deal for less than $45, but today, you can get two Blooms and a first generation Bridge (which isn’t Siri compatible, but is otherwise fine) for $85. Just use promo code CBACKTOSCHOOL at checkout to get the discount.

If you aren’t familiar with the Bloom, these are color-changing accent lamps that you point at your walls to “paint” them with light. You can learn more over at our Philips Hue starter guide.

Whether you take gaming seriously, or just want to use high quality and configurable gaming gear to be more productive at work, Amazon’s got a bunch of popular peripherals on sale today, including the popular G13 gameboard for an all-time low $39.

These deals are all part of today’s massive PC peripheral Gold Box, so be sure to head over to Amazon to see the rest of the discounts.

The 12-cup version of one of our favorite coffee makers is on sale today for $234 today, one of the best prices Amazon’s ever listed.

So what makes the OXO On 12 so great? It holds your water to the perfect temperature for coffee or tea, its user interface is literally one dial, and its rainfall showerhead disperses the water evenly over the beans, ensuring uniform saturation. It’s not cheap, but if you don’t kid around with your morning coffee, it’s worth every penny.

This water-resistant Mpow Bluetooth speaker has been popular among our readers during a few $15-$20 deals in the past, but today, you can get it for an all-time low $13 with code ZXWXXA27. It’s hardly the only water-resistant speaker in this price range, but I appreciate the suction cup mount that allows you to stick it to your shower wall.

The Nextbit Robin is an Android phone that aims to assuage your storage fears. If its 32GB of flash memory fill up, it’ll start uploading your apps and photos to a 100GB cloud account, leaving behind “ghost” icons that can re-download them on demand. It’s a little bit of a gimmick, but if it has you intrigued, you can grab the handset for just $199 today only on Amazon, an all-time low.

Everyone should keep an inverter in their glove box for powering laptops and other electronics in the car, and this 150W model from Aukey should be sufficient for almost everyone.

Everyone likes a little candlelight every now and then, but if you don’t want to keep buying new candles (or houses after you burn yours down), and you can score a dozen flameless votives for $20 today (with code UNMVVKWY), or six for $12 (with code ADFTZSPK).

Each one runs on an included CR2450 battery for up to 200 hours, and you can find replacement batteries for less than $1 each, which is a lot less than an actual replacement candle. You also get a remote to control them all, assuming it hasn’t been sacrificed to R’hllor in the photo above.

Boat shoes and loafers and moccasins, oh my! (Sorry) Sperry is marking down all their sale styles an extra 30% off when you use the code TOOHOT. Best get on that now, because it’s only a one day flash sale, which means those Top Siders won’t be around forever.

Pandemic Legacy is a co-op board game that raises the stakes by adding permanent (actually permanent) changes to the board as you play, and it’s amazing. It also happens to be marked down to $49 on Amazon today, within a couple bucks of an all-time low.

Note: Both of these products are the same game, just with different color schemes. Don’t ask me why.

If you were planning on buying a PS4 to play No Man’s Sky, this bundle deal includes the console, the game, plus a copy of Fallout 4 and Far Cry Primal for $370, or just $20 more than a standard bundle. That’s not a crazy discount or anything, but it’s pretty good by PS4 standards.

Every traveler needs a good toiletry kit, and preferably a hanging one at that. This model from AmazonBasics isn’t made of fancy leather, and it’s not embroidered with your initials, but it’s down to an all-time low $12 today, and should last you for years.

Dry shampoo has become a necessity these days, especially with the heat of summer. Grab a 3-pack of Batiste, your favorite dry shampoo, for only $16 when you Subscribe & Save (you can always cancel) and clip the $1 coupon on the page.

I currently have 10 things in my cart as I write this post. The ModCloth sale is up to 60% off and is full of all the cutest, vintage-inspired dresses and tops and shoes. Get really, really awesome things for whatever including cocktail dresses, heels, and even home goods. Okay, now it’s 11. - Jillian

JBL’s Synchros headphones are a solid upgrade to the earbuds that came with your phone, and you can grab a pair from Amazon for $26 today, or $4 less than Prime Day.

The review average here isn’t spectacular, but a lot of the bad reviews seem to be related to confusion about the inline remote. The model on sale today has an Android-compatible remote, which may not play nicely with your iPhone, but the headphones should sound the same no matter what they’re plugged into.

Sony’s 300W HT-CT380 sound bar and wireless subwoofer sets up in minutes, and will give your home theater a serious audio boost. If that sounds appealing, you can grab one from BuyDig’s eBay storefront for $160 today, or nearly $100 less than Amazon.

Note: We actually posted this at $190 a week ago, which seemed like a really good deal at the time.

Unless you reallllly need to print in color, Brother makes some of the only printers worth buying, and their small office-friendly DCPL2540DW is on sale for a consumer-level price today.

Like Brother’s home printers, this model spits out about 30 pages per minute, includes Wi-Fi connectivity, uses inexpensive and long-lasting toner, and just generally works much more reliably than any inkjet printer out there. The biggest advantage of this model over an HL-series printer is that it includes a document feeder for the scanner, meaning it can automatically scan 35 pages in a row with no user input.

$90 is within $5 of the best price Amazon’s ever offered on this model, so list that inkjet printer of yours on Craigslist, and go lock in your order.

Let’s say you’ve already upgraded to a good toothbrush; what’s the next step for cleaner teeth? Judging by the excellent user reviews, this 14-count box of Crest 3D Whitestrips is a great place to start. Just be sure to clip the $5 coupon before you check out.

Vega plant-based supplements are some of the best things you can put in your body, and Amazon’s taking an extra 20% off their protein powders, bars, and more today.

The 20% coupon is valid on dozens of different Vega items, and will stack with any existing discounts you see on the product pages. Just add your selections to your cart, and you’ll see the final price at checkout.

Vega has a great calorie-to-protein ratio, but the best thing about their shakes is that they aren’t just about protein. Vega’s shakes typically contain six grams of fiber, 3 servings of vegetables, and good amounts of Omega-3, probiotics, vitamins, and illusive potassium. It’s like a protein shake, a multivitamin, and a bunch of bonuses all in one convenient package.

We see deals on WeMo switches and TP-Link Smart Plugs on a pretty regular basis, but this similar product from Koogeek is Apple HomeKit certified, and only $24 today.

Like those other smart switches, the Koogeek Wi-Fi Smart Plug includes an app for turning your electronics on and off, and putting them on a schedule. The key difference here is that you can also control it with Siri from your phone, or from Control Center in iOS 10 (coming soon). That’s a big deal if you’re an iPhone owner, and with promo code CBNSYGGW, you’re not even paying a premium for it.

This inexpensive mandoline slicer can chop all of your favorite fruits, vegetables, cheeses, and fingers for just $17. Plus, its five interchangeable plates and two thickness settings mean it can adapt to many different ingredients and recipes. Just please, please, please, please use the food guard. I don’t want any blood on my hands.

Update: Sold out

Mpow’s Swift Bluetooth headphones dominated 2015, and the company’s ergonomic Cheetah line looks like a great sequel. If you want to try out a pair, promo code 2BOHN8NW will knock them down to $18, the lowest price we’ve seen by $7.

Note that this is actually the second generation of Cheetah earbuds; Mpow claims to have improved their water resistance this time around, making them perfect for exercise.

Far Cry Primal is like the other Far Cry games that you know and love, except with pet sabre-toothed tigers, and Amazon will sell you a copy for $25 today on PS4, Xbox One, and PC, an all-time low.

You can’t control these semi-smart power outlets with your phone, or automate them with IFTTT recipes like you can with Belkin’s WeMo line, but you can control them from across your house with a remote control, and they’re incredibly cheap today.

Whether your current mouse is giving you chronic wrist pain, or you just want to try something different, this 4.3 star rated ergonomic vertical mouse is only $13 today with code BW6JELL9. In addition to the clever design, it even comes with three adjustable DPI settings, which is pretty rare at this price level.

Sugru is right up there with binder clips and the Raspberry Pi in Lifehacker’s pantheon of must-have gear, and you can stock up today with eight packs from Amazon for just $13, the best price we’ve ever seen on the stuff.

iTunes gift card discounts are noticeably less common than they used to be, and while we do see 20% discounts from time to time, a $100 iTunes gift card for $85 is still a solid deal if you pay for Apple Music, iCloud storage, or PokéCoins.
