Top Deals

If you can’t believe it’s already October, you’re not alone. But if you’re still deciding on what to wear for Halloween and how you’re gonna pull it off, this Gold Box is your saving grace. Full of costumes for men, women, kids, and even pets, you’ll be set in no time. But this one-day sale will disappear quicker than those Reese’s pumpkins.

The Cabeau Evolution was your favorite travel pillow (by a long shot), and you can save 20% on the company’s “Cool” model today.

Like the original Evolution, the Evolution Cool is made of memory foam, and wraps all the way around your neck to provide support if your head nods off to the side while you’re traveling. The key difference is the integrated vent running along the middle of the pillow, which should keep your neck from getting too sweaty.

If you have any long trips on the horizon, you can save 20% on all four colors today with promo code 3BKOSVED. Cabeau’s pillows almost never go on sale, so if you’ve had one on your wish list, this is a great opportunity.

A lot of our readers have bought the Sport-Brella beach umbrella, but Coleman’s similar-looking Road Trip beach shade looks like a good alternative for $29. The setup process here is a little bit different the Sport-Brella, but the result is still a compact shaded cocoon to keep you from roasting while you’re at the beach.

Another huge sale from Timbuk2 brings a ton of their excellent bags down to hard-to-resist levels. Four 48 hours only, select bags are up to 40% off when you use the code SECRET. Check out all the styles you can choose from here.

Everyone and their mother has one of those YETI-style stainless steel tumblers now, but this 10 oz. lowball glass is great for sipping drinks around your house. This would be especially great for boozy beverages that you want to serve cold, but don’t want to water down with melting ice. $10 is also the best price Amazon’s ever offered, so cheers to that.

We see 4-packs of stainless steel drinking straws for $6 with some regularity, but this is the first time we’ve ever posted a 12-pack for $9 (with code 32WPXNOD). Whether you’re starting your collection, or adding to the family, this is a fantastic bargain.

Inflatable hot tubs might look a little bit cheap, but for $341, I’m willing to forgive it. This model has great reviews, can accommodate 4-6 people (depending on how much you like them, I guess) and normally sells for $400.

Most people in the market for smart light bulbs don’t look past Philips Hues, but LIFX bulbs basically match them feature for feature, and you can stock up for $40 each today, an all-time low.

The biggest difference between LIFX and Hue is that LIFX bulbs don’t require a hub. Beyond that, they’ll still integrate with your smartphone, Alexa, and IFTTT, giving you myriad ways to turn them on and off, and change their colors. The best part though? The bulbs put out about 1,000 lumens each, compared to the Hue’s 800.

Again these prices are the best Amazon’s ever listed, but we don’t know how long the deal will last, so stock up before the deal burns out.

If you’re already a Hue owner, yesterday’s $45 bulb deal is still alive.

If you use Sonicare’s entry-level E-series toothbrushes, $14 for a 2-pack of replacement brush heads is as good a deal as you’ll ever see. Just be sure to clip the $5 coupon, and use Subscribe & Save to maximize your savings.

Need a brush? The Essence is available for $30 right now, after a $5 coupon.

Logitech’s G900 is one heck of a gaming mouse, and Amazon’s marked it down to an all-time low $130 today.

I realize that’s a lot of money for a mouse, but given the expansive feature set, it might just be worth it. You can get adjustable 200-12,000 DPI range, 16.8 million color RGB lighting, and 30 hour battery life, plus an anchored cord. Most amazingly of all though, you can customize the G900's button layout. I don’t mean you can program the buttons to do different things (but of course you can do that as well), I mean you can physically remove and add buttons to the sides of the mouse to create a layout that works best for you.

We don’t know how long this discount will last, so click over to Amazon and lock in your order.

Sewing is one of those things everyone should at least try to learn, and this popular Singer sewing machine is marked down to just $102 today as part of a Gold Box deal.

The Singer 4411 includes 11 built in stitches, a fully automatic buttonhole mode, and the ability to do 1100 stitches a minute. Today’s deal is the within a couple bucks of the best price Amazon’s ever listed, and about $20-$30 less than usual. Just remember that like all Gold Box deals, this price is only available today, or until sold out.

Did you know Amazon makes dinnerware? It actually looks pretty good, and at $17 for a 16-piece set, it’s cheaper than buying like, a single saucer at Williams Sonoma.

The 750 EVO is Samsung’s first foray into the entry-level SSD market, and the largest 500GB model is on sale today for just $120 from Newegg’s eBay storefront.

The 750 EVO offers performance fairly close to the 850 EVO, though it’s optimized for somewhat less strenuous workflows, according to Anandtech. Still, if your machine is still running on a old-school spinning hard drive, this would be a massive upgrade for a relatively small price. It would also be a fine option for building your own external SSD.

Update: Sold out

This 320 page cover art book is the perfect gift for the Marvel fan in your life, even if that person is yourself. It’s gotten down to this price a few times in the past, and it almost always sells out quickly.

Minecraft and LEGO go together like peanut butter and jam, Donald and Ivanka, and you can score the free-form Minecraft Crafting Box today for $34, within 10 cents of an all-time low. Even if you don’t want this for yourself, there are surely some kids on your holiday shopping list who would love to get this.

 

It doesn’t support Quick Charge, but 2.4A per port is the next best thing in USB chargers, and $4 is about as cheap as you’ll ever see a dual-port car charger with that much juice. Just be sure to use promo code DEALNUM3 at checkout.

Grey felt and leather? That’s one classy laptop sleeve considering the $6 price tag.

You can give your knees a rest during your next DIY project or car repair with this $20 creeper seat. That’s the best price Amazon’s ever offered on this model from Torin, which includes a tool tray below the seat.

We know you guys like Velcro cable ties, but if you’re interested in a different option for keeping your wires organized, these neoprene zip-up sleeves are another great option. $8 gets you a pair of 60" sleeves, but you can cut those to length, and use the leftovers as additional sleeves.

You probably didn’t wake up today hoping to find a great deal on a broom rack, and yet here we are. In addition to clamps for holding brooms and mops, this also includes some hooks to hang umbrellas, keys, and other smaller items as well.

If you have any physical books on your wishlist, Barnes & Noble is taking 15% off any $40 order today, excluding textbook rentals, Nooks, and Nook books. Just fill up your cart, and use code BNOCTOBER15 at checkout to get the deal.

No Man’s Sky is far from perfect, but it’s undoubtedly a huge game, and should provide a whole lot of entertainment for $38.

Another day, another ASOS sale. This time, it’s up to 50% off but only for a limited time. It has practically every kind of clothing you could possible want or need marked down, from petite to tall to plus. Even shoes and outerwear are on sale.

iTunes gift card discounts are noticeably less common than they used to be, and while we do see 20% discounts from time to time, a $100 iTunes gift card for $85 or a $50 gift card for $43 is still a solid deal if you pay for apps, movies, Apple Music, iCloud storage, or PokéCoins.

Amazon’s Prime Pantry service has kicked off the month of October with not one, but two special promotions.

$5 Off, Plus Free Shipping

First off, if you purchase $30 worth of these select products (minimum five items), you’ll get free shipping ($6 value) and an additional $5 discount on top. The items skew heavily towards health and wellness items, and include your favorite sunscreen.

If you have a free shipping credit in your account from choosing no-rush shipping on a previous Amazon order, this deal should also stack, netting you an additional $6 discount.

Free Shipping Only

If you can’t find $30 worth items you need in the promotion above, the standard free shipping promotion is also available, with a much wider array of products. Just add any five to your cart, and you’ll see the $6 discount at checkout. Your options here include Starbucks Double Shot drinks, Burt’s Bees items, Clorox wipes, and a whole lot more.

There are a lot of strong opinions on shorts out there, but one thing is certain, if you do invest in a pair, they need to be versatile and fit well. The Myles Everyday Short easily achieves both these objectives, and with code KINJA20 you can get a pair for $51 shipped- their lowest price ever. Choose navy, black, or gray.

We see a lot of deals on smartphone dry bags, but Aukey’s is particularly affordable at $5, especially considering it includes an armband for running, and a compass for...navigating?

If your devices don’t support Quick Charge, Anker’s PowerPort 2 offers a fantastic blend of travel friendliness and power, putting out a full 12W per port, and they seem to be clearing out the white model today for $11, the best price we’ve ever seen.

If you don’t have the space or the cash for a KitchenAid, a hand mixer is the next best thing, and Amazon’s 4.4 star-rated top-seller is available for an all-time low $13 today.

It’s time to start thinking about getting back outside for a run, now that the heat has slowly dissipated. A new pair of running shoes was probably on the back of your mind anyway, so why not grab these $23 Fila 3A Capacity Running Shoes? Save yourself some foot pain and some wallet pain.

We love Pyrex around these parts, and their 3-pack of measuring cups is down to $13 today. In addition to looking great, the cups are microwave and (semi) dishwasher safe, and since they’re made of glass, they won’t absorb any odors, flavors, or stains. Plus, they just feel heavy and professional.

For a limited time, Amazon will sell you three pouches of Tide HE-compatible laundry detergent (totaling 144 ounces or 93 loads) for just $15.

These pouches are designed basically as refills for plastic Tide bottles, but as long as that doesn’t bother you, this is a fantastic price-per-ounce for any detergent, let alone name brand. Just be sure to clip the $3 coupon on the page, and you’ll see the discount at checkout.

Note: This coupon will also work on other select detergents and dryer sheets. For the full list of eligible items, click here.

Anker’s kevlar-wrapped PowerLine cables took the crown as your favorite Lightning cables, and you can add two 6' cords to your collection today for under $20.
