Top Tech Deals

The Samsung Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus (and to a lesser extent, the LG G6) are the new belles of the Android ball, and you can dress them up in the case of your choice for just $4. Check out the full list here, and be sure to note the promo codes.

TP-Link’s Archer C5 router isn’t quite as fast as the uber-popular Archer C7, but if you’re on a budget, it should be more than enough for a smallish apartment. $60's about as cheap as it ever gets, so if you’re still clinging to that old 802.11n router, this is a good chance to upgrade.

Whether you need to be better about backing up your computer, or are just excited to finally get some extra storage for your PS4, Prime members can pick up a WD My Passport 4TB drive for just $113 today, within just a few bucks of the best price they’ve ever listed.

It wasn’t that long ago that drives over 2TB required an extra power supply, but that’s not the case here; just plug it into a USB port, and it’s good to go.

Anker’s plastic-encased PowerCore battery packs certainly aren’t poorly designed, but the aluminum PowerCore+ models take build quality to a whole new level. For a limited time, get the Quick Charge 3.0-enabled PowerCore+ 10050 for $30, or about $5-$10 less than usual, no promo code required.

These Mackie reference monitors almost always sell for $100 on Amazon, and even at that price are the top-sellers in the “Studio Audio Monitors” category. So if you can get them for $20 off, you should jump at the chance.

As long as you don’t mind buying a certified refurb, this 38" VIZIO sound bar is fantastic value at $68.

Without a subwoofer, this might not be ideal for a main home theater sound system, but it’d be a massive upgrade to, say, your bedroom TV’s built-in speakers. And when your TV’s turned off, it’ll also work as a massive Bluetooth speaker for playing music from your phone. These sound bars typically sell for around $100, and today’s deal is only available today and tomorrow, or until sold out.

You know the little charging brick that came with your phone? Throw it out, and spend $6 on this replacement from Aukey (with code AUKWALLA). It’s only slightly bigger than Apple’s standard iPhone charger, but it includes two ports, folding prongs, and 2.4A of current (instead of 1A) to charge your devices faster.

The best camera is the one you always have with you, and with the Timbuk2 Snoop, it’s a lot more likely that camera will be your DSLR, rather than just your phone.

The Snoop has enough space to hold a body and a couple of lenses, plus a ton of accessories, and like all Timbuk2 products, it comes with a limited lifetime warranty if you should run into any trouble. Today only, Adorama’s marked it down to $60, but this price will be gone in a snap.

Once again, Amazon’s offering big deals on a selection of its popular Fire Tablets. You can get a standard 7" Fire Tablet for $40, but I’d probably opt for the $70 Fire HD 8, which has double the storage, better Wi-Fi, five extra hours of battery life, and a larger, sharper screen.

And in case you missed it last week, Amazon’s Kindle lineup is still $30-$50 off, for Prime members only.

Jackery makes some of the most popular battery packs around, but the Jackery Jewel is unlike anything else on the market.

Really, the Jewel isn’t so much a battery pack as it is a Lightning cable with a battery bulge in the middle, like a snake that just ate a rat. That 450mAh battery is only good for a ~15-20% charge, depending on the iPhone model, but that can be the difference between finishing the night with a working smartphone or an inert slab of glass. And of course, it also works as a standard Lightning cable, complete with passthrough charging and data transfer. Just use code ISGHK383 at checkout to get the best price ever.

Your laptop is one of the most expensive things you own, and it deserves to be treated as such. Rather than throwing it roughshod into your bag, slip it into one of PicasoLabs’ beautiful, hand-stitched leather sleeves, now on sale for the first time ever.

Jesus Diaz raved about these, and interviewed the creator, on Gizmodo a few years ago, and now you can pick your own from Amazon with promo code KINJA015, complete with custom engraving.

There are several options available, and prices will vary depending on the size of your laptop. They’re all designed specifically for various MacBook models, but compare measurements, and you could probably find one to fit your Windows Ultrabook as well. No matter which one you choose, you’ll save 15% at checkout with that promo code, and you won’t even have to pay extra for the engraving. This is the first discount they’ve ever offered to anyone, so treat yourself.

One day, we might get representatives in Washington that value their constituents’ privacy over corporate profits, but until then, it’s as good a time as any to sign up for a VPN service. Luckily, it costs 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 $72 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!

Whether you celebrate Easter, or just really love candy, today’s Amazon Gold Box will put you in a sugar coma.

Inside, you’ll find Easter-themed treats from Mars, Brach’s, Oreo, and Lindt, plus some healthier options from Golden State Fruit that are sure to infuriate your kids. The Gold Box prices are already great, but several options also have a 10% coupon you can clip for extra savings.

Just remember that these prices are only available today, and some of it will probably sell out early. Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to go buy all of the peanut butter M&M eggs.

One of the best investments you can make in your own happiness is upgrading the crappy shower head that came with your house or apartment. Delta makes your favorite models, and we’ve spotted deals on three different options today.

First up is the top-selling Delta 75152, now down to an all-time low $16. 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 spray holes 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.

If you need a wand-style shower head, we’re not hanging you out to dry. You can choose from the 58467 In2ition with four settings for $73, or the 58480-PK In2ition with five settings for $92. The latter includes the same H2Okinetic spray holes as the 75152 (but a lot more of them), so that’s what I’d go for, personally.

Just because your house or apartment doesn’t have a doorbell doesn’t mean you’ll have to rely on knocking like a caveman. This $10 kit has everything you need to install one, no wiring required. You can even choose from 36 different chimes!

Blendtec is the brand that brought you those viral “Will It Blend” videos, and yeah, their blenders are really good. You can grab a refurbished model today for $180, which is over 50% less than buying it new. We see this same deal from time to time for $200, but $180's a new low.

Even (or perhaps, especially) in the age of laptops and tablets, many people prefer the tactile experience of jotting down notes with an actual pen and paper, and the most tactile experience of all comes from the Ghost Paper Notebook.

Rather than simply printing lines on the sheet to keep your letters straight, Ghost Paper’s lines are very slightly embossed, giving your pen an actual base from which to start each character. Shane tried one of these out last month and loved it, and you can get your own notebook for $5 off today with promo code KINJA999.

If you’ve never steam-cleaned a carpet, get ready for an eyeopening experience when you see just how much crap a person can track into a home. At $84, this discounted Hoover SteamVac is perfect for keeping your carpets actually clean as opposed to just looking clean.

Altoid mints are great, and Altoid tins are even better. Today on Amazon, you can get 12 tins of cinnamon mints for just $10. That’s a curiously strong deal.

We’ve seen plenty of deals on motion-sensing night lights this year, but most of them are made of plastic, and not particularly nice to look at. If that’s scared you off in the past, perhaps this deal will change your tune. Add two to your cart and use code 2OXYT03S to get them for $19.

Philips Wake-Up lights have long been one of our readers’ favorite products, but now Vansky is making its own version for a lot less money.

Just like the Philips light, Vansky’s Sunrise Alarm Clock fades in a sunrise-simulating light for 30 minutes prior to your designated wake-up time, and then finishes the job with your choice of six natural alarms, or an FM radio station. That means by the time your alarm goes off, your body will already have begun the process of waking up, eliminating that awful feeling of being jolted out of a deep REM cycle. You can even choose from seven different light colors, a feature that doesn’t exist on any of Philips’ models.

I’ve had a Philips Wake-Up light for years, and absolutely love it, but $26 is an insanely great price for a feature-packed alternative.

It’s been over a month since the last time we posted a deal on Haribo Gold Bears, so you’ve finished your last bag and you’re ready for a resupply, Amazon’s marked it back down to $10 with Subscribe & Save, or $11 with standard shipping.

Also, fear not, these aren’t the sugar free ones that famously do horrible things to you body.

Periodically cleaning your fuel system can increase your car’s gas mileage and horsepower, and you can do it yourself for $10 today with this 20 ounce can of Royal Purple. Just pour it into a nearly empty gas tank before you fill up, and you’ll be good to go for 10,000 miles.

One of the only downsides of cast iron pans is that they can be a nightmare to clean, but this 4.8 star-rated chainmail scrubber can scrape away caked-on food without hurting your seasoning, or resorting to soap. No wonder a similar item is in our bestsellers club. Today’s $10 deal isn’t on the brand we usually post, but it’s one of the best prices we’ve ever seen on an item like this.

Top Lifestyle Deals

You voted Eye Buy Direct one of your five favorite online glasses stores, and right now, pick up any pair of sunglasses (for $15 or more) and get another pair free. Stay shade by using the code SUNBOGO at checkout and stock up, because this deal won’t last. Now if you’ll excuse me, I have six pairs of sunglasses in my cart that I need to decide on.

$48 for a year’s-supply of razor blades is a great deal, especially from Dorco. $24 for the same pack (with code KINJA43) is downright unbelievable.

That price includes a mishmash of products, but basically, it boils down to 28 cartridges, including a mix of three, four, and six-blade models. Obviously, it depends on how often you shave, but for many of you, that should last at least a year. It would probably last me like three.

It might not have the brand recognition of Waterpik, but this H2ofloss water flosser still boasts a 4.4 star review average from nearly 1,300 Amazon customers, and you can get it for just $32 right now with promo code CQBQKCQA. That even comes with 12 tips (six different kinds) to get you started. Go make your dentist proud!

It’s hammock season once again, and you can pick up a nylon camping hammock from Ohuhu for $15 today, and get a free hanging kit to boot. $15 is a good price for one of these hammocks on its own, and the hanging kit allows you to install secure hooks on walls, posts, and more. Just add both to your cart, and use promo code BY86D5KF.

GORUCK’s military-inspired GR1 dominated this week’s Co-Op for the best everyday backpack, and they’re celebrating by offering our readers a rare 10% discount with promo code KINJAGORUCK10.

Now, even with the code, this is still a $267 backpack. I’m not blind to the fact that that’s a lot of money. But every GR1 is hand-built over the course of four hours in the USA, is covered by a lifetime warranty, and by basically all accounts is just incredibly well-made. There’s a very real chance that this will be the last backpack you ever have to buy.

Own one? Let us know what you think in the comments.

ExOfficio underwear not only are your favorite underwear by an incredible margin, they’re also a Bestseller. Right now, head to their site and you’ll get 25% off two or more pairs of any type of their undies with the code GNG17. While we’ve seen better deals on individual pairs on Amazon, the selection is usually very limited. This sale means you can stock up on any style or size you could need.

Top Media Deals

For a limited time, you can own seasons 1-7 of Archer on Amazon Instant Video for $10 each. I’ve never seen it, so I can’t cleverly work in a catchphrase here. Feel free to make suggestions in the comments!

Top Gaming Deals

There’s a certain major basketball game tonight, and the NBA playoffs are right around the corner, and Amazon’s celebrating by taking 20% off Wilson composite leather basketballs, today only. The deal is available on both 29.5" and 28.5" balls, and you should see the $6 discount automatically at checkout if you click this link first. If not, just enter promo code 20KINJA at checkout.

LEGO Dimensions is the only game that brings together characters from Batman, Harry Potter, The Lord of the Rings, and The Simpsons, just to name a few, and the result is just as fun and absurd as you’d imagine.

While supplies last, you can get the starter kit is on sale for $45 from Amazon, the best price we’ve seen since the holiday season. That includes Batman, a Wizard, and Wyldstyle from The LEGO Movie, but there are a ton of expansions you can purchase to bring more characters into the game.

There’s never been an IP more perfectly suited for LEGO than Minecraft, as evidenced by this awesome looking waterfall base set, now on sale for an all-time low $56. Just be sure to get yours before they’re all mined.

Logitech’s G602 is more than enough gaming mouse for most people—we’re talking 250 hour battery life, 11 programmable buttons, and per-user programmable DPI settings—and it can be yours for $40 today, matching a deal we saw last month.
