Top Deals

So you want to try a standing desk, but you’re not ready to commit to it for eight hours a day...what do you do? You buy one of these discounted monitor risers for all-time low prices.

These risers arrives fully assembled, and sit on top of your existing desk. Put your monitor(s) on the top shelf, your keyboard and mouse on the bottom, and use their integrated spring systems to raise the entire setup from a sitting to standing position within seconds. I own a very similar product from Varidesk (which was more expensive, by the way), and I absolutely love it.

The 30" Lorel, which we’ve posted before, is large enough for one sizable monitor, while the new 35" FlexiSpot can accommodate two, and features a different design lifts your screen straight up, rather than up and slightly out.

I can tell you from experience that you’ll definitely want a good anti-fatigue mat for standing. This one has great reviews, but whatever you choose, make sure it’s at least 3/4" thick.

If you’re a regular Bass Pro Shop customer, here’s you no brainer deal of the day. If you buy a $100 BPS gift card, you can get a $20 gift card to Exxonmobil, BP, or ChevronTexaco for free. Assuming you’ll spend the gift card anyway, or know someone who would like to receive it as a gift, that’s nearly a full tank of gas on the house.

Raise your hand if you knew 8TB external hard drives existed. Keep it up if you’ve ever seen one for $220 or less. There shouldn’t be many hands up, which is good, since your coworkers might find that a little odd.

Update: Sold out

Name brand gaming mice don’t need to cost more than a new release game: This Logitech G300s is only $20 today, courtesy of Best Buy. Despite the low price, you still get nine programmable buttons, three onboard memory profiles, and a 2500 DPI sensor. That’s a lot of mouse for the price.

Update: Now up to $72

This is just a standard dual burner propane grill, but if your current grill has seen better days, or if you don’t own one at all, $63 is a great price to have it delivered to your door.

Here’s something to chew on: Amazon’s taking an extra 40% off Mentos gum for a limited time. The deal applies to both single bottles (with 50 pieces of gum each) and multi-packs with four or six bottles, so find your favorite flavor, and grab this deal before the bubble bursts.

Note: Discount shown at checkout.

Everyone remembers those classic blue Linksys routers of yore, so while the Linksys WRT1900ACS may exude nostalgia, its technology is all brand new.

The router is marked down to $180 today, a match for the lowest price Amazon has ever offered. Of course, you get 802.11ac wireless, four antennas, USB 3.0 and eSATA for data storage, but what makes this router so special is its firmware. Everything here is open source and easily hackable, meaning you can install DD-WRT or Tomato to tweak everything little setting exactly to your liking. That’s not the kind of project everyone will want to take on, but if you lie to tinker, this is a great router to optimize to your liking.

I have a soft spot for cheesy “As Seen On TV” products, and this self-cleaning fish tank is just $8 on Amazon today, a far cry from the “$14.99 plus shipping and handling,” price quoted in the ad above.

Jackery’s Giant S battery pack isn’t actually giant; it’s fairly mid-sized at 12,000mAh. But it does support Quick Charge 2.0 output, and even USB-C input for triple speed recharging compared to standard microUSB.

If you bought a new TV in the last year or so, it’s probably 4K. Now, you can wait a few years for content to become ubiquitous, or you can barge your way into the future today with this Samsung 4K Blu-ray player.

Compared to a normal Blu-ray player, it’s expensive. And the movies are too. But today’s deal is over $80 less than its $400 MSRP, which is what it was selling for only a month ago.

The 2TB Xbox One S is out now, and if you buy it from eBay today, you’ll get a $25 eBay gift card thrown in for free.

Obviously, this isn’t much of a deal compared to some standard Xbox One bundles that we’ve seen, but if you own a 4K TV, it doesn’t make a ton of sense to buy the old model anymore.

This Amazon Gold Box is billed as a back-to-school Thermos sale, but several items in there could appeal to adults who want to pack lunch for work.

Yes, I’m referring to the Spider Man lunch box.

If coworkers have been stealing your food out of the office fridge, or you just want to keep a couple drinks cold at the beach, this flexible lunch box is basically made out of ice packs. Just freeze it overnight, and it’ll keep your food and drinks chilled for up to 10 hours.

If your phone supports Quick Charge 2.0 or 3.0, and you still haven’t upgraded all of your chargers, today’s a great day to rectify that.

If you’re dead set on going to see Suicide Squad in theaters, Amazon’s giving out $8 ticket credits with the purchase of select Blu-rays. Many of the eligible titles actually cost less than $8, so you’re basically just getting a ticket discount, with a free Blu-ray tossed in for kicks.

You can never have enough Lightning cables, and we’ve spotted two different options on sale today, including a 6.6' model for just $7.

Who doesn’t like extra savings with their khakis (I bet Jake from Statefarm does). When you use the code STOCKUP250 at Dockers, you get 30% off when you spend $100+ or 50% off when you spend $250+. And this includes all the bread-and-butter pieces that Dockers does best, and even sale styles.

The proliferation of inexpensive HDTV bias lights has been the only good thing to happen in 2016, but even by our standards, $10 is cheap.

If you haven’t seen these before, it’s basically an LED light strip that plugs directly into your TV’s USB port for power, and sticks to the back of the set via built-in adhesive. Once you turn your TV on, the light strip will cast a soft glow on the wall behind it, which can reduce eyestrain when watching in the dark, and improve your TV’s perceived black levels.

Whether you’re going tubing, camping, or just spending a day at the beach, this two-gallon Igloo cooler will keep your favorite beverage cold, even during the dog days of summer.

The term “mini tripod” is usually associated with pocket-sized tripods that lift a camera or phone a couple inches off the ground. Tamrac’s though is 28" tall when fully expanded, and only 9" long when collapsed, meaning it should fit in most camera bags and backpacks.

ESPN’s O.J.: Made In America is one of the best documentaries I’ve ever seen, and Amazon is selling the Blu-ray/DVD combo for an all-time low $20 right now, if you can wait out a backorder.

You’ve probably heard a lot of fuss about mechanical keyboards lately, and if not, you’ve at least heard the clicking. If you’re curious to try one yourself without dropping a bunch of money, here’s an entry level model for $30, one of the best prices we’ve ever seen on any mechanical keyboard.

The keys don’t use name brand Cherry MX switches, but the switches it does include should closely mimic Cherry MX blues, which are tactile, loud, and great for typists.

Get the power, versatility, and customer service of Dyson for $200 today with this refurb Dyson V6 deal, plus no tax for most and free shipping.

Dyson Vacuums were 3 of your 5 top vacuum picks, and got Jolie Kerr’s recommendation in that same contest.

Usually, it’s cause to celebrate when J.Crew Factory has extra discounts on their clearance, but right now it’s up to 60% off everything (seriously, everything), which you shouldn’t pass up. Plus, if you head over to their featured looks section and find something you like, use the code ILIKEIT and get an additional 15% off. Pretty sweet, huh?

Waterpik is an easier (and they would argue more effective) way to “floss” between your teeth, and Amazon is currently taking $5 off the Waterpik Cordless Freedom flosser, bringing it down to an all-time low $36. That includes three tips and a set of batteries to get you started, but we recommend pairing this with rechargeable Eneloops.

Need a Star Wars fix? The excellent LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens, which features the tons of new voice work from the movie’s actual actors, is on sale for $40 today, the best price we’ve seen.

Update: Now available for $70 from Office Depot, the best price we’ve ever seen!

If you’re still wrestling with a terrible inkjet printer at home, do yourself a solid and pick up the reliable Brother HL-2380DW monochrome laser printer today for just $100 today.

While it doesn’t print in color, it more than makes up for that with the ability to spit out 32 pages per minute, duplex printing, and inexpensive toner cartridges that can last for years without being replaced. We’ve posted a lot of Brother deals in the past, and we’ve heard nothing but good things from readers about them. Plus, this particular model has a sterling 4.4 star review average on Amazon, a built-in scanner, and AirPrint and Google Cloud Print support, so it should serve you well for years.

Microsoft’s Surface Book is good. Like, really good. And if it’s been on your wish list, Best Buy is taking $150 off the 128GB model with Intel HD graphics, and $200 off the 256GB model with GeForce 940M graphics. Plus, if you have a .edu email address handy, you can save an extra $150 on top of that.

Amazon’s free Prime Pantry shipping promotion seems to be a permanent fixture at this point, but each month brings a new slate of eligible items, and August’s have just been revealed.

As always, just add five of the items on this page to your Prime Pantry box, enter code PANTRYAUG at checkout, and the $6 shipping charge will be waived. Plus, if you happen to have a free Pantry shipping credit from accepting no rush shipping on a previous Amazon order, it should stack, granting you an additional $6 discount.

There are literally hundreds of products available for the promotion, so you should have no trouble finding five that you need. As for the rest of your box, check out this page for every Pantry item that includes an additional coupon.

Vent-mounted magnets have emerged as the most popular method of attaching your smartphone to your dashboard, and two different mounts from TechMatte are on sale for all-time low prices today.

The standard mount is down to $4 right now with promo code FVLTMXX2, or you can get two for $7 with promo code WS7CCNNW. If your vents are positioned at an odd angle, a swiveling version is available for $6 with code 8GORHD3N, matching an all-time low. I’ve owned one of these for over a year, and even with a hefty iPhone 6s Plus, it works great.

Anker, purveyor of your favorite battery packs, charging cables, and Bluetooth speakers, also makes your favorite LED desk lamps, and three of them are on sale today.

The standard Lumos lamp includes four different lighting temperatures for different times of the day, as well as five dimming modes, and even a USB charging port for your phone. We see a lot of deals on desk lamps, and $37 is a great price for that feature set.

Think you can live without the shifting color temperature and the USB charging port? The affordable Lumos A1 is available for $20, down from $26.

If only the best will do, the Lumos E1 is also on sale for $49, an all-time low by $10 (use code YPNSBBCY). Compared to the standard Lumos, the E1 includes brighter bulbs, an extra color temperature setting, an extra dimming level, and a second charging port.

Update: Back in stock!

It might not be mission-critical equipment for your home, but a good label maker is a nice gadget to keep around, and the popular DYMO LabelManager 160 is back in stock for just $10 today, matching an all-time low.

If you remember the old label makers that literally pressed the letters into a piece of tape, this is a bit more advanced than what you’re picturing. The Dymo LabelManager 160 can print in eight fonts at six sizes, along with clipart and special characters, and you can even preview the entire label on its LCD screen before you print. Every time we post this deal, it sells out quickly, so you’ll want to grab yours quickly.

The popular Hoover Sprint bagless upright vacuum is only $39 today, and includes more features than you might expect, including an accessory hose, adjustable brush height, and a true HEPA filter. That’s a pretty great package for the price.

If your car takes synthetic oil, and you like to change it yourself, you’d be hard-pressed to find a better deal than $23 for five quarts of Mobil 1 5W-30, complete with Prime shipping.

Anker’s kevlar-wrapped PowerLine cables have been an immediate hit with our readers, and you can upgrade your entire microUSB cable collection today with this $13 6-pack. That’s a match for the lowest price ever on this pack, which includes two 1' cables, three 3', and one 6'.

iPhone owners can also grab a 9' (non-PowerLine) Anker Lightning cable for $10.
