Top Deals

If those copies of Monopoly and Risk are gathering dust in your game cabinet, you can stock it with better options during Amazon’s one-day Ravensburger and Wonder Forge board game sale.

Games include the popular Labyrinth, Scotland Yard, and San Juan, but head over to Amazon to see the rest.

Bonus: It’s not technically part of this sale, but Settlers of Catan is also down to an all-time low $29 at the moment.

Your favorite winter boot was the Shearling Lined Bean Boot from L.L. Bean, and that’s no surprise. The Bean Boot is the iconic winter boot if there ever was one. So if you’re in need of a new pair, or want to stock up on other winter essentials, L.L. Bean is giving you 20% off everything when you use the code SAVE20.

If you’re not into the shearling, a pair of no-fuss Bean Boots for both men and women is under $100 with the promo, which is a steal.

Anker’s HomeVac vacuum transforms from handheld to upright, has the impressive runtime you’d expect from the brand that makes your favorite battery packs, a washable HEPA filter, and a great warranty. That’s quite a package for $86 (with code ANVACUUM), an all-time low.

This was Anker’s first foray into cleaning products (the Roomba-inspired RoboVac was the second), and reviewers seem to love it so far. It’ll run for 24 minutes on a charge at full power, or an hour in eco mode, which should be sufficient for most average-sized homes. The standout feature though is definitely the detachable hand vac, which lets you clean furniture, shelves, and even your car with ease.

Anker’s new home goods brand, Eufy, puts its new set of copper string lights back on sale today, complete with adjustable brightness and multiple effects. $13's not the best price we’ve ever seen on a 33' strand of these things, but it’s a great deal for the feature set included.

These portable jump starters may end up being a lifesaver. Choose between 12000mAh for $50 and 18000mAh for $64 to help jump a car or motorcycle. Both models also have a USB port to charge your phone and a built-in flashlight. It’s the perfect thing to keep in any glove compartment or truck.

Get your fill of portable battery packs with deals on three Jackery Titan options. If you just want a really great charger, opt for either of the original Titan models, with 20100 mAh and 2 ports for $28. Or, if you were waiting to see what the USB-C options would be to go with your new MacBook, the Jackery Titan S has USB-C compatibility and Quick Charge and is only $36. Use the code JKRTITAN on any of them.

If you’re in the market for a new wireless speaker, you have two under-$20 options right here. Opt for the super-lightweight Inateck speaker and it will only run you $16. If you want to upgrade a bit, check out the iClever speaker for $20. Just use the codes listed below.

This discounted DEWALT Combo kit comes with a compact drill/driver and an impact driver (plus a nice carry case). We’ve had this as part of Gold Boxes before, but at $189, it’s the lowest price we’ve seen. These make great gifts for the builders in your life, but also just a fun set to have around for yourself.

There is also the option to save $40 and buy the same combo kit, but with a smaller battery (1.5 Ah vs 2.0 Ah).

Adobe’s Photoshop and Lightroom Creative Cloud photography suite normally costs $10 per month, but Amazon’s currently discounting a 12-month plan to just $89. Creative Cloud plans don’t go on sale often, so if you’re a creative professional, or just want to make your own photos look better, this is a great opportunity to save on industry standard software.

Nostalgia - it’s delicate, but potent. Teddy told me that in Greek, “nostalgia” literally means “the pain from an old wound.” It’s a twinge in your heart far more powerful than memory alone. This box set isn’t a spaceship, it’s a time machine. It goes backwards, and forwards... it takes us to a place where we ache to go again. It’s not called the Blu-ray, it’s called Mad Men. It lets us travel the way a child travels - around and around, and back home again, to a TV show that we know and loved.

If you don’t already own a Roku, what is wrong with you? It’s basically one of the best accessories for any television. And right now, thanks to Best Buy’s early Black Friday deals, you can grab a Roku 3 for half off. $50 is a steal for the perfect streaming solution for your binge watching.

The cooler weather is coming, and it’s time to prepare. Backcountry is taking 30% off select styles from Patagonia. This does include staples like their Nano-Air Jacket and Ultralight Down Vest (plus a few summer styles leftover as well). Stock up while the prices are way low.

Plus, if you don’t see anything you like from Patagonia, Backcountry is giving you 20% off any one full-price item when you use the code BC30PERCENT.

Another day, another J.Crew Factory markdown. This time, get 40% off everything (price as marked), free shipping, and an extra 50% off all clearance. Use the code ONYOURMARK and watch the prices drop. You’ll easily be able to find something to add to your wardrobe.

Titanfall 2 just came out like, two weeks ago, but Amazon is already discounting it. Grab a copy for Xbox One or PS4 for only $35.

Okay, okay. We saw everyone’s comments. On top of Titanfall 2 getting marked down to $35, Battlefield 1 is also listed for $35 for both Xbox One and PS4. Happy?

It was only a matter of time before we started seeing deals that included the new PlayStation 4 Pro. This full-price ($400) preorder comes with a free $20 PlayStation gift card to help fuel your impending video game addiction. At least it’ll be a nice distraction to the rest of what’s happening around you.

Mpow has been one of the forerunners of the impulse-priced bluetooth headphones craze on Kinja Deals, and their newer Antelope models feature noise cancellation 6.0 and better battery life, to name a few features. At $15 for either color, this is the best price we’ve seen for these.

External enclosures can turn your old SSDs and hard drives into useful external storage, and this $11 option from Inateck is the lowest price ever. If you’re going to be using it on the go, buy the enclosure and maybe even grab this $5 carrying case while you’re at it.

It’s that time again. Nordstrom Rack has brought back their Clear the Rack sale and it’s full (and I mean FULL) of really incredible deals. Designer clothing, brands you’ve never heard of, everything an extra 25% off. Maybe that will help today be okay, who knows.

Amazon’s Prime Pantry is here to help you get through the upcoming holiday months (and maybe stock up for the end of the world, who knows). Get a bunch of discounts, including coupons for 20-25% off and $1-$2 off select items.

As with standard Prime Pantry, buy five items and get free shipping. So stock up on everything from deodorant to spices to laundry detergent. Just clip the coupons and watch the prices drop in your cart.

Speaking of refurbished Amazon gear, you can also get a an Echo today for an all-time low $120, complete with a full warranty.

You might be tempted to wait for Black Friday to buy an Echo, but remember that Amazon likes to use major sale days to offer special, Alexa-only discounts on certain products, so it might be worth buying one now to have it set up in time.

Even if you don’t give presentations all that often, for $8, it can’t hurt to keep this well-designed PowerPoint remote tucked away in your bag. Powered by a single AAA battery, the remote speaks to any Mac, PC, or Android device via a tiny wireless USB dongle from up to 20 meters away. Most importantly though, it includes a built-in laser pointer, so you can use it to play with your cat even when you aren’t giving TED talks.

Magnetic smartphone vent mounts are the sleekest and easiest way to prop up your phone in the car, and you can get two mounts from Aukey for $8 today with code AU2MOUNT. Even if you already have these in your own car (a pretty safe bet!), they would make great stocking stuffers.

Now that it’s finally starting to cool down, it’s time to prepare yourself with this $11 Zippo hand warmer. Unlike disposable chemical hand warmers, this Zippo lasts for up to 12 hours at a time, and can be reused by filling it with a splash of lighter fluid. Plus, it just looks really cool hot.

Note: Just select the 12 hour model from the dropdown to see this deal.

The arrival of the Xbox One S brought with it a revamped controller, and Rakuten’s running the best discount we’ve seen.

The Xbox One S gamepad improves on the original with a textured grip, double the range, and most importantly, Bluetooth, meaning you can connect it to your PC without an adapter.

This seatbelt cutter/spring-loaded window hammer is small enough to fit in any glove box, or even on a keychain, and at $5, it’d be a perfect little stocking stuffer. Just use code 7WDW2ZAW at checkout to get the deal.

It’s easy to see why Cuisinart’s DBM-8 electric burr coffee grinder is Amazon’s top seller in the category. It’s affordable, it’s dead simple to use, it includes 18 coarseness settings, and it looks great. Today’s $39 price tag is roughly $5-$10 less than usual, so perk up, and lock in your order before it sells out.

All-Clad skillets are among the most popular pieces of cookware we’ve ever posted, and Amazon’s marked the 12" tri-ply down to its lowest price ever.

These skillets feature a durable stainless steel cooking surface, an even and rapid-heating aluminum core, and a beautiful stainless exterior, all sandwiched together to create the ultimate pan. And, like all All-Clad items, it comes with a lifetime warranty, though you probably won’t need it so long as you treat it well.

Most buyers will want to opt for the 12" skillet with lid for $88, but if you’re only cooking for one or two, you might be able to get away with the 10" model (with a lid) for $85.

$13 is solid price for 30 ounce YETI-style tumbler by itself. But it’s a fantastic deal for one that includes stainless steel straws, a lid, and a detachable handle.

Unlike most solar-powered path lights, these don’t look like butt. They actually look pretty good, in my opinion. That $20 price tag for a 6-pack looks even nicer though.

Simply put, $19 is one of the best prices we’ve ever seen on a 20,000mAh+ USB battery pack, let alone one with three charging ports. I wouldn’t expect this to last long.

Mpow’s new and aggressively named Bullfight Bluetooth headphones are down to just $22 today with promo code KVA67CWI. In addition to the slim ear pieces and seven hour battery, they even snap together magnetically to pause your music and keep them securely around your neck when not in use.

Looks like Black Friday deals are already on the loose. Save up to $40 on gift cards from GAP, Banana Republic, and Old Navy with values ranging from $40 (where you’ll save $10) all the way up to $200 (where you’ll save $40). Head over to Staples and save on a plethora of gift card options.

I know that we espouse the virtues of monochrome laser printers, but if you really need the ability to print in color, Canon’s Pixma MX922 is worth your consideration. With over 8,000 mostly positive user reviews on Amazon, this is the rare Inkjet printer that you might not actually hate. This model sells for $90 pretty consistently, but today, you can snag one for $70 with promo code SMBPRO, complete with a copy of PaintShop Pro X8.

If price has been the barrier to entry keeping you from better audio, we’re bringing back the best price ever on Status Audio’s CB-1s, $67 with code KINJA20. The last time we posted this deal you bought them all pretty quickly.

Head over to this post to learn more about the headphones.

If CVS is your pharmacy of choice, this discounted gift card is essentially free money.
