You kept telling yourself you were going to buy a Halloween costume, but you just never got around to it, and now it’s October 29. Luckily, Amazon’s here to bail you out with free one-day shipping on thousands of options. [FREE One-Day Shipping on Halloween Costumes]

Note: If you’re a Prime member, just select the $3.99 1-day shipping option at checkout, and you should see an equivalent discount appear immediately.

With active backlighting, an excellent upscaling engine, and smart apps that deliver 4K content, it’s easy to see why Vizio’s M-series TVs earned a Wirecutter recommendation. So if you’re ready to upgrade, you can score 50-70” refurb for $580-$1500 today on Groupon. [Refurb Vizio M-Series 4K UHD Smart LED HDTV, $580-$1500]

To celebrate Halloween, Amazon is giving away over $70 in premium Android apps for free today. Highlights include LEGO Star Wars, Bridge Constructor, and Runtastic Pro, but be sure to head over to Amazon to see the full list.

Of course, you can download as few or as many as you want, but you might as well “purchase” everything, even if you don’t see an immediate use for them. Once you’ve tied to your Amazon account, and you can always go back and download them later. [Amazon Halloween App Sale]

Your newly-mented favorite portable hard drive is down to just $50 for a terabyte today. [WD My Passport Ultra 1TB, $50]

Need more space? This WD Elements drive only has a one-year warranty, compared to the Ultra’s three, but the price is hard to beat. [WD Elements 2TB Portable External Hard Drive, USB 3.0, $66]

The most popular cancelled-after-one-season show in the entire Verse has its own board game, and it’s down to $32 today, which is near an all-time low. I can’t say I’ve played it, but it does has fantastic user reviews. Here’s what you can expect:

In Firefly: The Game, players captain their own Firefly-class transport ship, traveling the ‘Verse with a handpicked crew of fighters, mechanics and other travelers. As a captain desperate for work, players are compelled to take on any job - so long as it pays. Double-dealing employers, heavy-handed Alliance patrols and marauding Reavers are all in a day’s work for a ship’s captain at the edge of the ‘Verse.

Sounds pretty shiny. [Firefly: The Game, $32]

If you need a capable, cross-platform photo editor, and don’t want to pay a monthly fee to access it, Adobes Photoshop Elements is a solid alternative to its Creative Cloud-based big brother.

A copy of Elements would normally set you back $70 (which is reasonable, honestly), but Prime members can pick it up today for just $40. Note: You won’t see the discount until checkout. [Adobe Photoshop Elements 14, $40 for Prime members. Discount shown at checkout.]

We see no shortage of deals on wireless earbuds (seriously, I get like 10 in my inbox every day), but what if you prefer on-ears? These Audiomax Bluetooth headphones boast 20 hours of battery life, Apt-X encoding, and a 3.5mm port when you need to plug in, all of which are rare or non-existent features on entry level wireless earbuds. [AUDIOMAX Wireless Bluetooth 4.0 On-Ear Headphones with Passive Noise Cancelling Technology and Built-in Microphone, $45 with code BULELHW5]

It’s not for everyone, but Apple’s new 12” MacBook is undeniably drool-worthy. So if you’ve been waiting on a deal wipe off your chin to pick one up, you can get the entry level model on eBay today for $1,099, or $200 off. Plus, most of you won’t have to pay sales tax, which potentially represents even more savings. [Apple 12” MacBook, $1099]

Steam mops are fantastic for cleaning hard floors, and while you’re probably most familiar with Shark’s models, this Bissell alternative is worth a look today.

The Bissell’s main differentiator here is a unique flip-down scrub brush that can dig into grout and crevices between tiles, which has always been a pain point for this kind of mop. Of course, you’ll also get variable steam settings, a removable water tank, and even optional scent discs to keep your floors smelling fresh, I guess?

Amazon’s marked the Powerfresh down to just $68 today as part of a Gold Box deal, so be sure to pick yours up before it sells out. [BISSELL Powerfresh Steam Mop, $68]

ExOfficio’s Give-N-Go boxer briefs were a finalist in our recent best men’s underwear Co-Op, and you can try a pair yourself for $15 on Amazon today. That’s one of the lowest prices they’ve listed this year, and about $7 less than the usual going rate. [ExOfficio Men’s Give-N-Go Boxer Brief, $15]

If you own a GoPro, here are some fantastic deals on third party accessories and mounts to extend its capabilities.

GoPro 40 Accessory Kit ($17) | Amazon | Promo code 2A74BRCK

4-Pack Battery Kits By Smatree For GoPro Hero 3+ Hero 3 Cameras ($30) | eBay

Smatree Battery Pack W/ Head and Chest Strap Mount For GoPro Hero 3+ Hero 3 Camera ($30) | eBay

Just in time for fall, Amazon’s offering a Gold Box deal on this high-end GreenWorks cordless leaf blower, today only.

$186 gets you an 80-volt blower that delivers the same performance as a 32cc gas-powered alternative, plus a battery that can run for over an hour between charges. Yeah, there are cheaper blowers out there, but this one normally sells for around $250, and you get what you pay for. [GreenWorks GBL80300 80V 500CFM Cordless Leaf Blower, $186]

Not only does this 6-quart Crock-Pot come with a digital timer to program cooking times, it also ships with an adorable 16 ounce heated dipper to serve dips and sauces at the table. We posted this a few weeks ago for $35, but today, it’s even cheaper. [Crock-Pot SCCPVC605-S 6-Quart Slow Cooker with Dipper, Stainless Steel, $30]

The first two seasons of Game of Thrones are getting collectible Steelbook editions, and you can preorder yours for $40 today from Amazon, which is $10 less than they were going for until today. Plus, if the price drops any further prior to release, you’ll automatically get the best deal.

Preorder Game of Thrones: Season 1 (Steelbook) ($40) | Amazon

Preorder Game of Thrones: Season 2 (Steelbook) ($40) | Amazon

Clearly, there’s no need to wait for Black Friday to score a great deal on an Xbox One. If you really want Kinect (which is awesome for saying “Xbox, Pause,” but not a whole lot else), then the Amazon bundle is one of the best we’ve ever seen. Otherwise, the Walmart deal with an extra controller and game is really terrific.

Xbox One Gears of War Console Bundle with Bonus Controller and Choice of Game ($349) | Walmart

Xbox One 500GB Console with Kinect - 3 Game Bundle ($399) | Amazon

Sony just started bundling download cards for Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection with new PS4 consoles, which means they’re now flooding the secondary market for bargain bin prices. Lucky you. [UNCHARTED: The Nathan Drake Collection, $35]

If you missed out on the excellent DMC: Devil May Cry on the previous generation of consoles, the updated Definitive Edition is down to an all-time low $20 today on PS4 and Xbox One. [DMC Devil May Cry: Definitive Edition, $30]

It’s not hard to find an Xbox One controller for $50, but I don’t think we’ve ever seen it for that price bundled with a Play & Charge kit. Yes, the controller should have been rechargeable out of the box, but what can you do? [Xbox One Controller with Play & Charge Kit, $50]

Everyone with a kitchen should obviously own a Lodge cast iron pan, but this cast iron griddle can certainly come in handy as well. [Lodge Pre-Seasoned Cast Iron Square Grill Pan with Silicone Handle Holder, 10.5”, $23]

If you live near a Sam’s Club, but the membership fee has scared you off from joining, this might change your tune. Groupon is currently selling a one-year Sam’s Club membership, a $20 gift card, and vouchers for select fresh food items for just $45.

The Sam’s Club membership alone normally costs $45, and the gift card is as good as cash, so this is an insane value if you like to buy in bulk. [One-Year Sam’s Club Membership, $20 Gift Card, and Free Fresh Food Certificates, $45]

Note: There’s also a $25 option that eliminates the gift cards and most of the vouchers, and only comes with the membership and a rotisserie chicken. The $45 option comes with the rotisserie chicken anyway, and is clearly the better deal here.

This ergonomically-designed wireless mouse has the feature set of a high-end mouse—adjustable DPI, nine buttons, detachable palm rest—but at a decidedly bargain basement price. [Etekcity Scroll M910 Wireless Vertical Mouse, $19 with code 6SSB52R2]
