Update: Sold out

I didn’t know it was possible to improve upon the handheld white board, but Boogie Board might have done it. This $23 gadget (an all-time low price, by the way) includes a stylus to draw on its LCD display, and will keep its image indefinitely without any power until you hit the erase button, and of course, the “pen” will never dry out.

Our readers have bought thousands of the smaller version, but this 10.5" model gives you even more room to doodle.

Best Buy’s running a 50 hour sale on tons of TVs, Apple products, speaker systems, and a lot more this weekend. Some of our top picks are included in the list of deals at the bottom of this post, but head over to Best Buy to check out the entire sale.

Sound bars are all the rage right now, but if you want to build a home theater system piecemeal, like in the olden days, Amazon’s running a great deal today on Klipsch bookshelf speakers, today only.

These speakers have only been out since July, but they already have a 4.3 star review average from over 130 customers, and $270 is an all-time low by over $100. Just note that this is a Gold Box deal, meaning this price is only available today, or until sold out.

If the bottom of your bag looks like a Radioshack going out of business sale, this $8 travel case from AmazonBasics can keep your memory cards, battery packs, charging cables, and other small electronics organized.

Until fairly recently, external hard drives over 2TB required an extra power cord, but not so with this ultra-portable 4TB WD My Passport, now marked down to an all-time low $110.

That makes it easy to toss in a bag to take anywhere, and it would also be great for storing all of your PS4 and Xbox One games.

Don’t forget your free snack!

Anker’s SoundCore blew away the competition to take the title of your favorite affordable Bluetooth speaker, and today, you can pick one up for $27 with code ALBCXN3Y. That’s a couple bucks more than it was on Prime Day, but otherwise one of the best prices we’ve seen.

For about $7 more though, you can opt for the upgraded water-resistant version instead. In my experience, they sound nearly identical, and they both sport the same incredible battery life, so you can choose solely based on your need for water resistance.

VPNs are in the news these days, and with good reason. So if you’re curious to sign up and start protecting your browsing history and personal data (or, you know, getting around websites’ geoblocks), NordVPN charges less per month than a typical trip to Starbucks.

NordVPN has long been one of the most popular and reliable VPN providers out there, and if you sign up for a one-year membership, promo code VIP70 will drop your annual price from $69 to $48. If you’re sure you want to commit, use this link instead to get a special two year plan for $79 with code 2YSpecial2017. Lifehacker has recommended Nord in some previous guides, but if you have any firsthand experience with the service, sound off in the comments!

The RoboVac 11 from Eufy (a division of Anker) is one of your favorite robotic vacuums, and in my own testing, it’s every bit as good—and far quieter—than my Roomba. So if it’s been on your radar, our readers can save $33 today with promo code KINJA815.

Note: This sale ends this weekend, so don’t miss out!

The final price of $187 isn’t the best deal we’ve seen on this (it went down to $150 for a few glorious hours in May), but it’s still over $100 less than the comparable Roomba, so if it’s been on your shopping list for awhile, this is a solid chance to save.

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.

This garden hose is so metal. Literally. That means it’ll never puncture, tear, or most importantly, kink.

You probably don’t need a humidifier right now, but cool, dry air will return eventually, and it never hurts to be prepared. This model from TaoTronics includes a 4.4 star review average from over 1,500 customers, and has never been cheaper.

If you’re sick of overpaying for lunch every day at work, you could start bringing your own in these highly rated Thermos containers. The food container will keep soup hot for up to five hours, and the drink bottle will keep your favorite beverage hot or cold for 12 hours.

Life’s too short to drink the same soda every time, so take advantage of this 30% Amazon discount and try something new.

This battery-operated LED work light puts out as much light as a 100W halogen, and its removable battery pack can even charge your phone over USB. It’s one of those things you might not use often, but it’s not a bad idea to keep one handy in your garage, just in case.

Lysol wipes are one of the easiest ways to wipe down cabinets, and they’re a gift sent from the heavens whenever someone in your house has a cold. Assuming you’ve got some extra cabinet space, you should definitely pick up 320 wipes for $9 up with this clippable Amazon coupon.

Note: Discount shown at checkout.

If you’re planning on spending $25 on Amazon today (we can probably help you with that), be sure to use promo code PRIMESNACK and pick one of these four snacks to get it for free with your order. Just note that the $25 has to be shipped and sold by Amazon.com directly to qualify. I’m in for that sweet and spicy trail mix

Don’t forget your free snack!

While it lacks the brand recognition of the Fitbit Aria, this $30 smart scale can still sync your weight, body fat, and other stats to your phone over Bluetooth so you can track your measurements over time. And if you own an iPhone, it’ll even sync to the Health app, so you can integrate the stats with tons of other fitness apps.

Need to get your body beach-ready? This resistance band set lets you get a full workout in any room in your house, and at $16 (with code 6UN2E24A), it’s quite a bit more cost-effective than joining a gym.

Sunglass Warehouse has some of the best pricing out there, but they’ve amped it up this week. Their clearance section is already full of deeply discounted shades, but use the code KINJASALE40 and get an additional 40% off.

This 100 Essential Films poster from Pop Chart Lab isn’t just a kickass looking infographic; you can scratch away the boxes to reveal the hidden film lurking beneath the metallic surface.

Top Gaming Deals

If you missed out on yesterday’s big board game sale, a few favorites are still down to some of the lowest prices we’ve ever seen.

It’s peak lawn game season, and you can save on cornhole sets, ladder toss, giant Jenga sets, a beer pong tablet, and more.

The Logitech G502 was your choice for best gaming mouse (though you don’t need to be a gamer to appreciate its benefits), and the upgraded Proteus Spectrum model (which includes fully adjustable backlighting) is on sale for $51 today, the best price we’ve seen outside of a couple of very short-lived $40 sales.

The marquee spec here is the DPI range of 200-12,000, adjustable on the fly. There are also five easily movable and removable weights, and 11 customizable buttons, along with the classic Logitech dual-mode scroll wheel. Mechanical microswitches and a braided cable are also nice touches.

Many of you won’t bat an eye in spending $50+ on a good gaming mouse, but don’t neglect the mouse pad! This extra long model from Corsair is available for $15 today.

Our deals researcher, Corey, has one and had some nice things to say in Slack:

Nice things to say about it - massive, soft and comfortable on your wrists, doesn’t slowly squirm and migrate across your desk, as precise as hard mousepads I’ve used.

Uncharted: The Lost Legacy proves that you don’t need Nathan Drake to make a great Uncharted game, and Prime members can pick it up for $32 today.

Nier: Automata is one of the best games you can own for your PS4, and Amazon just marked it down to $40, an all-time low.

LEGO has come to be dominated by licensed sets with strict instructions and little room for creativity, but you can still buy a big ol’ box of LEGO bricks for $16 on Amazon today, an all-time low. It doesn’t include Han Solo or a Minecraft creeper, but you will get 303 pieces to build whatever you want.

PlayStation owners can finally take advantage of the crazy value Humble offers with this 2K Bundle. Games are redeemable either for the Vita, PS3, or PS4, but the PS4 titles include XCOM 2, Evolve, and $10 of Battleborn Platinum VC. As always, a portion of your purchase goes to charity, and the titles are split among multiple price tiers.
