Until such a day comes that all of our devices use USB-C ports exclusively, you’ll need some USB 3.0-to-C cables to ease the transition. Today though, you can save about $2 off the usual price of Anker’s reader-favorite PowerLine+ cables, complete with a carrying pouch.

Vent-mounted magnets might be The Thing in smartphone car holders, but if your CD slot is lying dormant, or if you just don’t want to block a vent, this would also be a great option.

The ideal power supply for your nightstand or office desk is just $17 today. iClever’s BoostStrip includes four USB ports and three power outlets, meaning you can charge all of your mobile devices, run a computer and monitor, and even plug in a lamp, all on a single wall outlet.

While Quick Charge 3.0 is all the rage right now, Anker’s PowerDrive+ Speed 2 car charger can charge two devices with Quick Charge 2.0 simultaneously, and it’s just $13. With up to 2.4A per port, you’ll never run low on battery.

Plug in all the things with this $22 tower of power. This thing comes with 10 outlets, four USB ports, and its own 6ft retractable power cord. Plus, it rotates for optimum space-saving.

If you love inky blacks and vibrant colors—and who doesn’t?—this 2017 OLED LG TV is down to $1600 today on MassDrop, or $2600 for 65", both at least $400 less than what Amazon’s charging

As you’d expect from any high-end TV these days, that gets you a 4K panel and Dolby Vision HDR, but OLED technology means the blacks will be far richer, and the colors more vibrant than any LCD-based screen you can buy. It’ll still cost you, but your eyes will tell you it was worth it.

If you still haven’t tried out a home theater bias light, there’s never been a better time to pick one up.

Vansky’s LED bias light strips plug directly into your TV’s USB port for power, and stick to the back of the set via built-in adhesive. Once you turn your TV on, the LEDs cast a soft glow on the wall behind them, which can reduce eyestrain when watching in the dark, and improve your TV’s perceived black levels.

You can choose from an RGB or plain white strip today on Amazon for $12 or less, and if that’s too long for your TV, you can actually cut it to length.

This inexpensive sound bar probably isn’t ideal for your main home theater; it’s only two channels, and doesn’t have a subwoofer, but it would be a massive upgrade for, say, a kitchen or bedroom where you’re still using your TV’s built-in speakers. It’s also wall-mountable, and will even work as a big, loud Bluetooth speaker for your phone.

Yi, manufacturer of your favorite affordable action cam, also makes a home IP security camera, and you can pick it up for just $29 today with promo code UHF4D4MN, the best deal we’ve ever seen.

The Yi Home Camera includes all the basic features you’d expect, including two-way audio, automatic activity alerts to your phone, and remote monitoring. And while Yi does offer a paid cloud DVR service, you can also opt to store your files on an onboard microSD card, no membership required. Even if you go this route though, you’ll still be able to tune in live from anywhere in the world.

Nonda’s original Zus smart car charger was a one-of-a-kind device with two very poorly-placed USB ports, but the newly redesigned Quick Charge 2.0 model fixes that fatal flaw for just $11.

That’s a great price for any Quick Charge car charger, but Nonda’s has some features you won’t find anywhere else. Most notably, it connects to your phone over Bluetooth, and every time the connection drops (meaning your car has turned off), a free app will make a note of your location so you can find your parking spot later.

That app will also tell you the health of your car battery so you can get it replaced before you end up stranded, and it can even track your mileage for tax and expensing purposes (free for 60 drives per month, $3/month or $30/year for unlimited).

With the ability to transform into a grill, an electric griddle, or a sandwich press, Cuisinart’s 3-in-1 Griddler is one of the most versatile kitchen appliances you can own, and it can be yours today for just $60, the best price Amazon’s ever listed.

Why stop there though? Add the optional waffle iron plates to your cart, and get even more use out of your new toy.

You don’t need to buy a new car to get a backup camera (which is life-changing, by the way), you just need $82, and a few minutes to run the wires. This model attaches to your license plate, and runs to a special rear view mirror that attaches in front of your existing mirror.

Oh, about that mirror...it has a dash cam built into it! Just pop in a microSD card, and you have a backup camera, plus a dual-lens dash cam to record any accidents.

$200 robotic vacuums aren’t anything new. But $200 robotic vacuums from a name brand like Samsung don’t come around often. The Samsung POWERbot R7010 features a ton of vacuuming power, a suite of nine sensors that help it map out your room, and mercifully, a washable filter. It debuted in April for over $400, and now you can get it for less than half that. That’s a whole lot less than hiring a house cleaner.

It may not be the prettiest storage solution, but for $46, it’s a great way to get clutter out of the way. Perfect for storage closets, garages, or even rooms of kids who don’t care about interior design.

For just $9 today, you can sip your drinks in style with a 12 pack of stainless steel drinking straws, both bent or straight. I own the bent ones, and use them for everything from Coke Zero to Moscow Mules. And don’t worry, they come with a little tube cleaner to help you wash them.

If you’re into the stemless look, you can pick up a 4-pack of Amazon’s #1 selling wine glasses today for just $12, the best price we’ve seen. Eliminating the stem means that these can go in the top rack of your dishwasher, and can stack in your cabinets to save space. I’ll drink to that.

Invest in a portable massage pillow, and you’ve got the world at your fingertips. Choose between three styles of massager: a cushion, a small pillow, or a larger throw pillow. Just make sure to check the promo codes to get the discount.

If you missed out on your chance to save on Halloween candy last week (or if you already ate it all), Amazon’s once again taking 20% off a wide variety of Nestle Halloween packs, including both fruity and chocolatey options. Just remember that you won’t see the discount until checkout.

The holidays are just around the corner, and if you don’t have the time to get your house spotless before you start hosting guests, Amazon’s here to help.

For a limited time, if you book a deep cleaning from Amazon Home Services, you’ll get $30 off at checkout. It’s as simple as that. Every deep cleaning service includes the following:

  • Includes deep cleaning of all rooms in your home
  • Bathroom vanity, tub, and toilet cleaning
  • Kitchen counters, floor, and range/cooktop cleaning
  • Washing all window interiors and countertops (walls not included)
  • Trash removal to your outdoor cans
  • Pro will provide cleaning supplies

You can also add the inside of your fridge and the insides of your kitchen cabinets for an additional fee.

After you complete your purchase, you can book the service for any time in the next 90 days, so you’ll be able to time it up with any fancy soirees or tension-filled Thanksgiving political debates you’re hosting this holiday season.

Before you know it, it’ll be time to get started on holiday decorating, but you can save money, not to mention time, by taking advantage of Amazon’s Star Shower Motion deal.

If you aren’t familiar, these genius little gadgets use lasers to project red and green lights onto the front of your house, giving the appearance of holiday spirit without the hassle of actually hanging up outdoor lights. We’ve seen a few deals lately on similar products, but this is the original, as-seen-on-TV Star Shower that started the trend a few years ago, and it’s never been cheaper.

Update: Now down to $26.

This Calphalon nonstick square griddle pan is perfect to make pancakes, tortillas, eggs, quesadillas, and toast sandwiches.

It’s usually priced at $40, but you can grab one today for $31 $26. You have to hurry before this deal is toast.

It may not be a YETI, but it does have wheels. This Coleman cooler can hold up to 84 cans, claims to keep ice for up to 5 days, and is, of course, a portable seat with cup holders - all necessary features for the best tailgating experience. Plus, it’s about $10 less than usual today.

TOP LIFESTYLE DEALS

REI is about to make you that more inclined to get outside. Right now, you can grab an extra 25% off their entire clearance section for their End of Season sale. There everything from camping, to paddling, to hiking, to cycling, and everything in between. It’ll take some time to sort through everything, so you’d better get started now.

Right now, GAP has a huge sale where everything is discounted up to 60%, which is great, sure. But they’re throwing in an additional 40% off with the code HAPPY. The exclusions list is long (as usual), and it does include denim this time around, but there are a ton of majorly marked down pairs that you won’t even need the extra discount to grab for cheap.

They also just dropped a bunch of new arrivals for both men and women, just in time for the new season.

Having a backpack on hand is always a good idea. Take this Gonex packable backpack that folds up into itself, so it can be easily stored in a glove compartment, center console, or suitcase. Choose from seven different colors for $12, or grab an all black one for $13.

Prepare for the apocalypse your next hunting trip with Amazon’s sale on Bushnell’s Trophy Cam. Pick up this quality HD trail camera for $80 and impress all your hunting buddies. Personally, I would just use the trail camera to look at all the weird animals that hang out in the woods, but that’s just me.

If you don’t know about Dallas-based Breda, you need to. The watch brand creates minimalist, easy-to-wear styles of watches that aren’t overworked or over priced. And we’ve got 35% off on three different styles, including different colorways. Use the code KINJA35 and grab the Valor, the Rand, or the Belmont for 35% off ($46-$52, depending on the style).

Update: In the final days of the sale, grab an extra 10% off the already discounted styles with code EXTRASALE.

Update: Now up to 70% off.

Fall is here and ASOS wants to make sure your wardrobe is prepared. With up to 50% off a unbelievable amount styles to help get you ready for the new season, it’s going to be hard to let your shopping bag stay empty. There’s almost 300 pages of JUST DRESSES, so it’s unlikely you won’t find anything.

Everyone needs at least a handful of no-show socks in their drawer, and you can get six pairs for just $12 today on Amazon (with promo code H548MN68), down from the usual $15.

If your lighter runs out of fuel (or if its battery dies), you’ll still be able to start a fire with this flint and steel five-pack, now just $7. In the 21st century, this probably isn’t the easiest way to stoke a flame, but it works in any weather, and will make you feel like Bear Grylls, which is worth something.

Philips’ entry-level Sonicare Essence electric toothbrush has long been a reader favorite, and now Amazon’s running the best deal we’ve seen on the sequel, the Essence+.

The big improvement here is the brush head: Rather than the screw-on E-series heads (which have a tendency to collect sludge along the seam), the Essence+ uses standard Sonicare snap-on heads. The upshot is that you get a lot more choices: Philips sells seven different options for different budgets and brushing styles.

For a limited time, Amazon’s taking $10 off the brush’s $35 price tag. We’ve seen this $10 coupon before, but it’s usually subtracting from a $40 starting price. Just note that you won’t see the final price until checkout.

This time Amazon’s back at it with home, personal care, beauty & grooming, vitamins, baby, and beverages & food samples.

If you haven’t bought Amazon samples before, let me explain. You purchase samples and then Amazon gives you an equivalent credit that you can then use to towards a whole bunch of different products in that same product category. For example, buy a $2 granola bar, you have $2 in credit

If you normally shop Amazon for anything in these categories, it’s basically free samples.

TOP MEDIA DEALS

Texture is a service that promises to be the Netflix of magazines, offering you full access to over 200 titles on your phone or tablet. If you’ve been curious to try it out, you can get your first three months for $6.50 total on Amazon, today only, compared to its usual $10 per month.

Just note that this deal is only available today.

This 30-DVD collection includes all the classics like original Dracula, Frankenstein, She-Wolf of London, The Mummy, and much more at the grave-digger price of $50.

Grab your copy before it grabs you.

Wonder Woman was the rarest of all things: A good DC Comics film. You can own it forever via Amazon Instant Video for just $10 right now, if you’re a Prime member. Go watch and enjoy it before Justice League ruins everything again.

Shopping for a Jurassic Park fan (or yourself) this holiday season? All four films (including the semi-recent Jurassic World) are down to just $24 in one awesome Blu-ray set, complete with two discs full of bonus features.

If you like to read, and aren’t opposed to doing it on an electronic device of some sort, here’s your no-brainer deal of the day. Humble’s latest bundle features two dozen DRM-free ebooks, and you can get them all for as little as $18, or some for just $1.

These aren’t books you’d find in the budget bin at the bookstore either. The list includes classics like Octavia Butler’s Dawn, John Brunner’s Shockwave Rider and All My Sins Remembered by Joe Haldeman.

As always with Humble Bundles, the titles are locked behind a few different price tiers, but you can pay whatever you want, and a portion of the proceeds will go to charity.

Amazon always offers a free one-month trial of its Audible audiobook service, but for a limited time, they’re also tossing in two free book credits to sweeten the pot . That’s in addition to the book you normally get with the trial, and each credit is valid for any title in the Audible library. The best part? The books you choose are yours to keep, even if you cancel the trial before it renews.

Just note that this deal is only valid for new Audible members only.

Magnets. How do they work? This $18 NextX Building Set is made for the those of us that want to find out. With 46 pieces to play with, kids (and adults) can make a ton of different shapes and animals and learn just how cool magnets can be.

Fidget spinners and fidget boxes are old news. The infinity cube is the new gadget to keep your hands busy. It’s sort of like a Rubik’s cube that collapses into a flat rectangle and can be folded in an infinite number of combinations. Like its predecessors, it’s small enough to fidget away in one hand and continue working with the other.

They seem to marketing themselves as the luxury fidget device, for the upper class with ADHD, anxiety, or anyone looking for stress relief. But at $15 with code V76CBU82, it’s an affordable luxury.

Ghost Recon Wildlands isn’t without its flaws, but it’s a massive game that should keep you busy for awhile, and Amazon’s already knocked it down to $30 today, the best price we’ve seen.

$8 is cheaper than a lot of standard sized mouse pads, but today, that gets you a massive 2.5' x 1' model that can accommodate your keyboard as well. So luxurious! Just be sure to use promo code MCDZX686 at checkout to save a couple bucks.

Super Mario Odyssey is only about two weeks away, and here’s a friendly reminder that if you have Amazon Prime, you can preorder it for $12 off(discount shown at checkout). This deal is valid up until release day, but Amazon’s been known to sell out of preorders of popular Nintendo games in the past, so it might behoove you to place your order early.

You can also preorder a Switch bundle with exclusive Joy-Con, and the game included.

Humble’s newest bundle is filled with RPGs that will give you hours upon hours of enjoyment. Each price tier is highlighted by a Borderlands game, but several lesser-known titles are included as well.

What’s your favorite game of the bunch? Let us know in the comments!
