Top Deals

iFixit, the people that rip apart brand new electronics for your amusement to show you how to fix them, makes its own toolkit, and you can get it for $15 today.

Update: It’s sold out on Amazon, but you can get it for the same price at iFixit’s store, though you’ll have to pay shipping.

Here’s what that gets you:

Just don’t go voiding your warranties unless you know what you’re doing.

Contigo’s Autoseal West Loop travel mugs are a longtime reader favorite, but the similar SnapSeal Byron is marked down to an all-time low price, today only on Amazon.

You get to choose from either the 20 oz. or 24 oz. model in for this deal, in a variety of colors. When we post deals on these mugs, it’s usually the West Loop model, but the Byron’s a little bit different. Unlike the West Loop, the Byron’s lid doesn’t open and close automatically, though many reviewers say it’s easier to clean. The Byron also includes a rubberized non-slip sleeve, which is a nice touch, especially at these prices.

Just note that this is a Gold Box, so be sure to lock in your order before this deal cools off.

Before you go out and flush $30 down the drain on a Yeti Rambler, check out this RTIC alternative for just $12 on Amazon today, matching a Gold Box deal from several weeks ago. It uses the same vacuum-insulated stainless steel construction, and according to this YouTube video at least, actually keeps ice frozen for longer. No-brainer.

Can you believe that before the advent of detergent pods, humans used to measure and pour laundry detergent liquid into a washing machine manually? I don’t know how our ancestors got by. Anyway, if you’re running low, Amazon’s taking $3 off a whole assortment of Tide PODS and Gain detergent packs today. Just add your favorite to your cart, and you’ll see the discount at checkout.

Winter will be here before you know it, and you can prepare for battle with Amazon’s top-selling snow blower, now down to an all-time low $136, for Prime members only. This 18" blower can throw over 700 pounds of the white stuff per minute, so it should make short work of your driveway and sidewalk.

You know that guy that always seems to have a knife ready to go when something needs to be cut open? You could be that guy for $11.

Smartphone lens attachments won’t suddenly turn your phone into a DSLR, but they can help you get some unique shots you couldn’t take otherwise, and four different models are on sale in today’s Amazon Gold Box.

All of the lenses are made by Aukey, and they range from the compact Aukey Optic for $10 to the $20 Aukey Ora (fisheye or wide), which is larger and should result in clearer photos, especially around the edges of the frame. All of them also work as macro lenses, which are a ton of fun to play around with.

You don’t need promo codes for any of these deals, but just remember that they’re only available today.

With five adjustable height levels, an accessory hose, and (hallelujah) a 27' retractable power cord, this Hoover bagless WindTunnel vacuum is all you need to keep your floors pristine. Today, Amazon will sell you one for just $65, matching an all-time low.

On the one hand, a cast iron drop biscuit pan is a bit of a unitasker. On the other, it’s $20, and biscuits are delicious. I’ll let you make the call.

The granddaddy of the ultra-affordable Bluetooth headphone movement is still alive and kicking, and you can grab a pair for just $12 with promo code 8IUDZM2G.

If you’ve been an iPhone owner for any significant length of time, you could probably fill a suitcase with all of your 3' Lightning cables. But for those times that you want to sit back and relax on the couch while still charging your phone, an extra-long 10' cable can really come in handy. Use code OVFXLXGI today to get two for $15.

The 3D Touch-enabled iPhone 6s is still a damn good phone (it even has a headphone jack!), and Amazon’s blowing out certified refurbs in today’s Gold Box.

Prices start at $420 for a 16GB, but you should absolutely pay $50 more for the 64GB model, or $110 more for 128GB. You even get to pick from all four colors. Just note that these are GSM phones, meaning they’ll work on T-Mobile, AT&T, or basically any international carrier if you pop in a SIM card.

The Roku streaming stick is all you need, and Amazon just knocked $10 off its base price, one of the best prices we’ve seen, and its first big discount in months. Even if you already have the old model, it might be worth $39 just for the ability to stream audio to your mobile device, which allows you to watch TV in bed without waking your significant other.

ExceptionalSheets’ bamboo mattress pads do three things to improve your sleeping experience:

  • Protect your mattress from stains and body soil
  • Add a plush layer to your mattress for added comfort
  • Keep you cool with breathable bamboo fiber

Today only, Amazon’s marking every size down by $15-$30. This is a Gold Box deal though, so don’t sleep on it.

If you’re itching to try out a new hobby, metal detecting is one of the few that can actually pay for itself (if you get really good), and two different models are on sale for all-time low prices today.

GTA V’s campaign is great, and its online mode is still incredibly active, so its no wonder that the game has been relatively immune from downward price pressure, even years after release. Today though, Prime members can get a copy on PS4 or Xbox One for $30, the best deal we’ve seen.

Humble’s new Day of the Devs bundle is a doozy, with popular titles like Grim Fandango, Broken Age, and Massive Chalice on sale for the price of your choice. Plus, if you pay $9 or more, and are attending Double Fine’s Day of the Devs event in San Francisco on Saturday, you’ll get early entry, a line-skipping fast pass, and 20% off merch.

Kinja Deals has joined Humble Bundle’s new affiliate program. You can choose to adjust where your purchase is allocated using the slider.

It doesn’t include HDR or a tablet remote like the M-series, but if size if your biggest consideration when shopping for a TV, this Google Cast-enabled 70" Vizio E-Series 4K TV is a steal at $1,099.

This attractive wine aerator can open up your red wines and make them taste better, and it’ll only set you back $10 today with code KINJAHAO. The alternative is of course putting your wine through a blender, which, more power to you.

In my opinion, Bath & Body Works’ candles are the best part of their business. Last time they went on sale, I bought six. Today, use the code THISISXMAS and you’ll get a free 3-wick candle with any purchase (with no minimum). It is a bit of a gamble, because you won’t know what scent you’ll get, but you’re getting a $23 candle that’ll last you through the winter for free.

If designer watches call your name, Amazon’s one-day sale on Gucci timepieces will be your siren song. Bracelet and leather bands for both men and women are marked down, with some coming under $400. But like all Gold Box deals, this one has an expiration date, and that date is today.

The shower head that came preinstalled in your home or apartment is probably terrible, but if you don’t have the cash to upgrade it to a Delta In2ition, the Delta 75152 is a fantastic option at under $20.

Aside from a single switch that toggles between 1.75 and 1 gallons per minute, this showerhead doesn’t have any notable features to speak of. But I can tell you from years of experience that its water coverage is beyond excellent. Each of the four valves uses Delta’s H2Okinetic system to agitate the water and create a full, perfectly dispersed wall of water, rather than four individual streams. It’s a difficult sensation to describe, but I absolutely recommend you try it for yourself.

This deal was available briefly last week, but if you missed out, it’s available again with a short backorder. Trust me, it’ll be worth the wait.

The classic View-Master has been reborn as a surprisingly great Google Cardboard VR headset, and the new Deluxe model just got its first major discount: From $40 to $30.

Every car trunk and medicine cabinet should include a good first aid kit, and this one includes 180 bandages, swabs, alcohol pads, tools, and more to deal with minor scrapes and cuts.

If you’ve got three video games on your wish list, chances are good that you can take advantage of today’s buy two, get one free deal at Target. Hundreds of titles are eligible across all platforms, just note that the cheapest game in your cart is the one you’ll get for free.

Want wireless streaming and handsfree calling in your older car? This $17 dongle receives the Bluetooth signal from your phone (or music files from flash drives and microSD cards), and transmits it to the FM radio station of your choice.

We’ve seen several deals on Bluetooth car kits in the past, but most require that your car include an AUX jack, whereas this only needs a working FM radio.

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. $14's not the best deal we’ve ever seen on a 33' strand of these things, but it’s a great price for the feature set included.

If your car’s wiper blades have seen better days, Amazon’s running a new promotion on Rain-X Latitude replacements, for a limited time.

This deal works a little differently than previous Amazon wiper blade promotions, which let you buy two for a flat price. This time around, you’ll save a flat 15% on each blade you buy (shipped and sold by Amazon). Just use the site’s built-in “Filter By Vehicle” tool to find the proper models for your car, and remember that you won’t see the discount until checkout.

Update: If you buy two, you can also submit your receipt for an $8 mail-in rebate! Thanks for the heads up, Nirav Patel.

If you’re sick of renting carpet washers every time you spot a new stain, you can buy your own for just $96. The Hoover Power Scrub Deluxe has a squeaky-clean 4.4 star review average from over 6,000 customers, and this all-time low price matches a Gold Box deal from a few weeks ago.
