Top Deals

Today only, Amazon’s blowing out a number of popular Logitech peripherals as part of a Gold Box deal.

Your options include speaker sets (starting under $9), keyboards, mice, a webcam, and more. The most popular product here is probably the Z523 speaker system for $52, but I’m also partial to the multi-device Bluetooth keyboard, the touch mouse, and the $20 trackball.

That’s just scratching the surface though, so head over to Amazon to see the full selection. Like all Gold Box deals, these prices are only available today, and the best stuff could sell out early.

Your next TV really should have HDR support, and this 2016 Samsung 4K fits the bill for $1198.

That’s still a little expensive (though not too extravagant for a 60" set), but it gets you a great upscaling engine, local dimming, smart apps, Samsung Smart View, and yes, HDR. Today’s price is an all-time low, and about $150 less than usual.

Sicario is not a fun movie, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t good. If you’re curious, Amazon will rent it to you digitally for just $1. Even if you can’t get to it tonight, you have 30 days to start watching after you lock in your order. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.

Let’s say you’ve already upgraded to a good toothbrush; what’s the next step for cleaner teeth? Judging by the user reviews, this 20-count box of Crest 3D Whitestrips is a great place to start. As an added bonus, you’ll even get a pair of express one-hour treatments, for when a whiter smile just can’t wait.

Note: Be sure to clip the $7 coupon on the product page.

Update: Sold out

Having owned a Timbuk2 backpack for several years now, I’m pretty confident that as long as they’re in business, I’ll never buy a laptop bag from another company. If you want to see what all the fuss is about, their famous classic messenger bag is down to $39 from B&H, with no sales tax outside of New York.

You know all of those little Apple USB charging bricks sitting in your drawer? The clever NomadPlus USB charger can transform one into a travel-friendly portable battery pack, and it’s back down to just $15 today.

While undoubtedly clever, the NomadPlus has always been a tough sell at its usual $40, but you can grab one on Amazon right now for $15 shipped. That’s still a decent price premium over a standalone battery pack, but if you appreciate good design, and only want to carry around a single charging solution, it’s a fantastic deal. It would also make a great gift for your less tech-savvy friends who would never remember to charge a standalone battery pack.

I’m usually content to stick with the sports band that came with my Apple Watch, but you should keep something a little nicer in the bullpen for formal occasions, and this $17 stainless steel strap is a big step up in the looks department. Promo code E4WCLZYB should work on silver and space grey, in both 38mm and 42mm sizes.

Cordless hand vacs are ideal for cleaning shelves, keyboards, your car, and other places where a standard vacuum can’t reach, and this popular Black & Decker model is marked down to just $40 on eBay today. For comparison’s sake, that’s $10 less than Amazon, where it has a fantastic review average.

Update: Sold out

Standard LED light bulbs for $5 are no longer rare, but BR30 bulbs for that price are almost unheard of.

These are the bulbs you put into recessed lighting fixtures, and since they’re LED, they produce the same amount of light as a 65W bulb using less than 10W of energy. Plus, many local utility companies will even pay you a small subsidy for each bulb you buy, meaning these will pay for themselves even sooner.

Ready to expand your Philips Hue collection? Color bulbs are down to $40 a pop today on Amazon, which is as cheap as they ever get.

Update: The individual bulbs are sold out, but you can get three as part of a starter kit for $125, including a first generation bridge. That’s nearly as good!

The wall-painting Hue Bloom accent light is also marked down to $50, if you missed it yesterday.

The new DJI Phantom 4 sure looks impressive, but for $800 less, you can pick up the still-completely-amazing Phantom 3 Advanced today. You’ll lose out on features like the (finicky) accident avoidance and 4K video, but the camera still boasts an impressive 2.7K resolution, it can hold its position indoors thanks to a downard-facing sensor array. At $599, it probably won’t even eat up your entire tax refund.

Note: Yes, I know the eBay listing says the camera is 1080p, but it was upgraded to 2.7K after release via a firmware update.

Two Quick Charge 2.0 outlets, and two bonus microUSB cables for just $7. To put it simply, this is one of the best USB car charger deals we’ve ever seen.

We see iPhone battery case deals every week, but even by our standards, $16 is an amazing price. That’s $83 less than Apple charges for their version!

Good battery life? Check.

Attractive design? Check.

Water-resistant? Check.

Cheap? Check.

These waterproof phone cases can keep your smartphone safe from sand and water splashes, and if you’re feeling particularly daring, they can even turn your phone into an underwater camera. If you don’t already own one, it’s a no-brainer at $5.

Update: Sold out at $17

18 packs of Skittles and 12 packs of Starbursts for $17. Need I say more?

Just be sure to use Subscribe & Save, and clip the 15% off coupon. Just be sure to cancel the subscription after your first delivery.

If your ultrathin laptop doesn’t include ethernet or a sufficient number of USB ports, this aluminum Inateck hub can fix that for just $5 with code SJRV7DZC, one of the best prices we’ve ever seen for a product like this.

$7 is about as cheap as Bluetooth selfie sticks ever get, so if you’ve been wanting to pick one up, now’s the time to do it. Just don’t use it to take selfies with your plane’s hijacker, please.

These Rabbit wine stoppers are the easiest (and one of the best) ways to seal a wine bottle or beer bomber, and today’s price is the best Amazon’s ever offered for a four-pack.

You don’t need electrical skills, special wiring, or even very much money to install a motion-sensing light on your porch; you just need this $19, solar powered model from Mpow. Smaller versions of this light have sold extremely well in the past, but this model features 20 LED bulbs, rather than four or eight.

Bonus: You can also get two for $37 with code YF8GCLFW.

Recent deals on Instant Pot pressure cookers have proved popular, and with good reason, but if you were waiting on a bigger model to cook for an entire family, the 8 qt. IP-DUO80 is down to an all-time low $142 today.

Vega plant-based supplements are some of the best things you can put in your body, and Amazon’s taking an extra 20% off their protein powders, bars, and more today.

The 20% coupon is valid on dozens of different Vega items, and will stack with any existing discounts you see on the product pages. Just add your selections to your cart, and you’ll see the final price at checkout.

Vega has a great calorie-to-protein ratio, but the best thing about their shakes is that they aren’t just about protein. Vega’s shakes typically contain six grams of fiber, 3 servings of vegetables, and good amounts of Omega-3, probiotics, vitamins, and illusive potassium. It’s like a protein shake, a multivitamin, and a bunch of bonuses all in one convenient package. [20% off Vega Protein Products]

The supermassive version of our favorite surround sound system is down to its lowest price today on Amazon.

If you aren’t familiar, this VIZIO system offers true 5.1 surround sound by way of a wireless subwoofer and a pair of satellite speakers (which plug into the subwoofer), all without the aid of of a receiver, and without the need to run any cables from your TV to the back of the room. I own a smaller version of the same setup, and absolutely love it.

Fitness trackers can help you ward off winter weight gain, but if you don’t want to commit to wearing a bracelet every day, the clip-on Fitbit One is is a great alternative.

In addition to steps, the Fitbit One will monitor calories burned, stairs climbed, and distance traveled, and you can even configure it as a silent, vibrating alarm clock so you don’t have to disturb your sleeping partner. If that sounds like an appealing package, you can grab a refurb on Groupon today for $40, one of the best deals we’ve ever seen.

Prefer a wristband? The Fitbit Charge HR is also down to $100 right now, matching an all-time low.

$48 for a year’s-supply of razor blades is a great deal, especially from Dorco, the maker of Dollar Shave Club’s excellent blades. $24 for the same pack (with code DKJWAYFDP) 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 five.

WeMo switches and their ilk are great for controlling lights and appliances from your phone, and you guys have bought a ton of them. But if you’re primarily concerned with operating lights on a schedule, say, to deter robbers while you’re on vacation, this two-pack of mechanical switches will get the job done for a lot less money.

After a longer-than-usual layoff, PayPal’s eBay storefront is once again offering a solid discount on iTunes credit. This time around, it’s $10 off a $50 card, which works out to a 20% discount. With a few rare exceptions, that’s as good as these deals get.

If you like the idea of a Logitech Harmony remote, but don’t care about bells and whistles, this Harmony 350 is only $32 right now on Amazon. You won’t get a touchscreen, smartphone app, or charging dock, but it can control the same 225,000+ devices as the rest of the line. We’ve seen it cheaper as a refurb, but this is the best price we’ve ever seen on a new one.

Even if you don’t own a Wii U or New 3DS to take full advantage of amiibo, this pixelated Mario would be a great little desk ornament for $9.

We typically recommend buying knives separately, rather than as a set, but J.A. Henckels makes great blades, and this 10-piece block only includes the pieces you need: A chef’s knife, a santoku, a paring knife, a bread knife, shears, and some steak knives. If you’re still using the crappy knives you bought in college, this is a solid upgrade for just $80.

It’s a rare thing to get excited about a vacuum cleaner, but this is legitimately awesome. The Bissell Symphony Pet looks like a standard upright vacuum cleaner, but with the press of a button, it turns into a steam mop to sanitize your hard floors. That’s a match made in heaven.

Everyone should keep an inverter in their glove box for powering laptops and other electronics in the car, and you’ve got two discounted options to choose from today, depending on how much power you need.

Amazon’s Prime Pantry program is great for stocking up on household goods and non-perishable foods without actually having to visit a store, but the $5.99 per box shipping charge has always been a drag. This month though, if you buy five select items, you can get that fee waived.

Bonus: If you already have a no-rush free shipping credit in your account, this deal should actually stack, netting you an extra $6 discount.

They ran a similar promotion the last two months with different eligible items. Just add five of them to your box (plus anything else that will fit), and use code PANTRYMAY at checkout to get free shipping. [Free Prime Pantry shipping with five eligible purchases, promo code PANTRYMAY]

If you manage to spend $75 on your box, toss in promo code PANTRY75 at checkout to save $6 on your next Pantry order as well.

If you’ve been meaning to wall-mount your TV, you can save 50% on this articulating Cheetah mount on Amazon with promo code XPGXFOL7. This dual-arm mount is designed for 32"-65" TVs, which should be perfectly suitable for almost all of you. I got this exact model recently for my mother-in-law’s new patio TV, and it’s fantastic.
