Top Deals

Now that it’s warm enough to go outside again, Amazon’s offering great deals today on outdoor clothes from Columbia, ExOfficio, Under Armour, and more.

Inside, you’ll find discounts on shirts, jackets, beanies, gloves, and more. Just note that this is a Gold Box deal, meaning these prices are only available today, or until sold out.

If you need a little extra push to get out and go for a run, Amazon will sell you a pair of Mizuno Wave running shoes for just $50 today. These shoes typically sell for about $60-$70 around the web, and you even get to pick your favorite color; Just click through to the product page to find the color selector.

If your phone supports Quick Charge 2.0 (or even 3.0), we’ve found great deals on a compatible car charger, USB battery pack, and multi-port dekstop charger today on Amazon. Just be sure to note the promo codes below to score the discounts.

Target’s eBay storefront is currently selling the newly released The Force Awakens Blu-ray for $17, the best price we’ve seen so far. Granted, that’s not an enormous discount, but if you were going to pick up a copy anyway (and let’s face it, you were going to pick up a copy anyway), it’s a nice chance to save a few bucks.

Update: Sold out at Amazon, but Rakuten has it for $1873.

Reader Will sent us quite the deal tip today, and rather than editorialize, I’m just going to share his email in full (emphasis mine).

Hello,
Amazon has an insane deal on a gaming PC made by CybertronPC at the moment. I purchased it a few days ago after helping a friend pick out a new PC to buy with his tax return and some savings. When we saw it I had him order immediately and figured worst case it wont ship and we will find something else. Hell at this price I bought one because it was too good to pass up. I didn’t think it would actually ship as I figured it had to be a pricing mistake, but I received mine today.
We bought it when it was listed at $1213 on the weekend and it has since jumped to $1698 (as of 10am CST 4/5/16), but this is still a crazy deal. List Price is $3999 (haha) and looked like Amazon was to be selling them at $3299. To put this deal in perspective I normally build all my PC’s as its fun and much cheaper, but I cannot build this PC for less than $2618 if a purchased all of the parts myself off Amazon. You can take a look at the parts yourself and you’ll quickly see I’m not exaggerating. I’m sure I could shed maybe $100-200 if I shopped around for the parts going outside of Amazon, but the point is theres 8 PC’s in stock at a price that would be insane for a gamer looking for a new PC to pass up.
Link to deal is below. Only the Red version is listed at this price.

There are only a few left in stock, so don’t miss out.

If you waited until the last minute to file your taxes, Amazon’s taking an extra 20% off select H&R Block tax software today, for Prime members only. Just make sure you see this notice on the product page, and note that you won’t see the final price until checkout:

Apple’s expansive (and expensive) iPad Pro is just got its biggest discount ever: $190 off the 128GB Wi-Fi model. Plus, most buyers won’t have to pay any sales tax. [Apple iPad Pro 128GB, $760]

We’ve seen a lot of deals on motion sensing night lights, but this model from Etekcity is unique in that it can automatically turn on when it detects a power outage, and will even work as a flashlight or portable lantern while untethered from the wall, thanks to its built-in battery backup. Amazon has it listed today for $17, but promo code DJJEFES6 will save you an extra $3.

Sony’s Alpha A7 famously crammed a full frame image into an impossibly compact body, and the A7 II adds new goodies like 5-axis optical image stabilization and improved autofocus. If you’re ready to make a serious investment in photography, you can get the body today for $1199. That’s about $500 less than elsewhere, and the best deal we’ve seen.

Mpow’s Swift Bluetooth headphones dominated 2015, and the company’s ergonomic Cheetah line looks like a great sequel. Note that this is actually the second generation of Cheetah earbuds; Mpow claims to have improved their water resistance this time around, making them perfect for exercise.

These Modern Motif socks prove that men’s dress socks don’t need to be drab and colorless, and today on Amazon, you can save $5 on a box of five pairs. There are two collections to choose from, but personally, I’m a fan of the Jefe collection.

If you’re going to invest in good knives, you really ought to invest in a magnetic knife bar to show them off. Not only does it look cool; it also won’t dull your blades like a knife block can.

If you want to try pulling in local HDTV channels over the air, this omni-directional antenna will only set you back $10. It’s unamplified, so you’ll need to live pretty close to the transmitters, but if you, this is a fantastic price.

When you pack your lunch for work, you always run the risk of Kevin from accounting stealing your food from the communal fridge. But with these thin, lunchbox-friendly ice packs, you’ll be able to keep your food will never have to leave your sight.

This clever little camping lantern can recharge itself with a built-in solar panel, and even expands into a waterproof “bottle” that can hold your phone, keys, and other small items. The lantern function and the bottle function seem completely distinct and unrelated, but still, they’d both come in handy during your average camping trip.

The Paris Architect, a 2014 New York Times bestseller, is on sale today for just $2 on Kindle. I read it last year, and really enjoyed it.

In 1942 Paris, gifted architect Lucien Bernard accepts a commission that will bring him a great deal of money - and maybe get him killed. But if he’s clever enough, he’ll avoid any trouble. All he has to do is design a secret hiding place for a wealthy Jewish man, a space so invisible that even the most determined German officer won’t find it. He sorely needs the money, and outwitting the Nazis who have occupied his beloved city is a challenge he can’t resist.
But when one of his hiding spaces fails horribly, and the problem of where to hide a Jew becomes terribly personal, Lucien can no longer ignore what’s at stake. The Paris Architect asks us to consider what we owe each other, and just how far we’ll go to make things right.
Written by an architect whose knowledge imbues every page, this story becomes more gripping with every soul hidden and every life saved.

Gaming gear can be great for getting real work done as well, and these DBPower peripherals are deeply discounted on Amazon today. The mouse includes seven buttons and adjustable DPI, while the keyboard features customizable backlighting and mechanical key switches for a clicky, tactile feeling.

Shadow of Mordor was one of the best games of 2014, and if you still haven’t picked it up, the Game of the Year Edition is on sale for an all-time low $20 today on PS4 and Xbox One. That’s about the same price as the standard edition, so you’re basically getting all of the DLC for free.

Note: Amazon only has the Xbox One version available for $20. You’ll need to go to Best Buy for a PS4 copy.

Update: Jeff Bezos tweeted that a new top of the line Kindle will be unveiled next week, so keep that in mind.

For a limited time, Prime members can score larger-than-usual discounts on Amazon’s entire lineup of e-readers, including $30 off the Kindle and Kindle Paperwhite, and $50 off the Kindle Voyage, which almost never goes on sale.

The best bet for most people is probably the Kindle Paperwhite for $90, which is $30 less than usual, and $10 less than its semi-frequent deal price. The Paperwhite has the same ultra-sharp screen resolution as the Voyage, which is the most important aspect of any e-reader, but for $60 more, the Voyage adds pressure-sensitive page-turning bezels, slightly more contrast, and an ambient light sensor to control the backlight.

Once again, these deals are only available for Prime members, and you won’t see the discounted price until checkout, but you can sign up for a 30 day free trial, and still get access to the deals.

Anker’s SoundCore is your favorite Bluetooth speaker, but its powerful big brother is on sale today for $10 more. You’ll only get 1/3 of the SoundCore’s battery life, but this model features dual 10W drivers, rather than dual 3W drivers.

Uniqlo just kicked off another shipping holiday, with absolutely free shipping on every order, from a single pair of socks to an entire wardrobe. Concurrently, you can also score two button up linen shirts for men or women for $50, or $10 less than usual. Just add any two marked “Multi-Buy” to your cart, and you’ll see the discount at checkout.

We’ve posted several deals on USB power banks that can also jump start a dead car battery, but this model from Anker puts out 600 amps, compared to 400-450 on most other models. For your standard dead car battery, 400 is probably enough, but if it’s really dead, or hasn’t been started in a long time, the extra oomph could make a big difference.

Apple’s 15" Retina MacBook Pro isn’t for everybody, but if you demand a lot from your laptop, it’s one of the best options on the market. The newest model comes complete with a 256GB SSD and 16GB of RAM, and you can save a whopping $400 on yours today, with no sales tax for most buyers.

While we generally recommend buying fresh beans, if you just want coffee without the fuss, Amazon’s taking and extra 25% off a nice variety of Lavazza whole bean coffee today. The coupon is in addition to any listed discounts, so you won’t see the final price until checkout.

Don’t own a grinder? You can’t go wrong with the Baratza Encore.

For a limited time, Dell will sell you this 55" Samsung 4K Smart TV for $1000 (the same price Amazon’s currently charging), and toss in a $400 promo gift card for good measure. These promo gift cards are only valid for 90 days, but that’s enough to buy you a new game console or sound system to complement your new TV.

Note: Dell has been known to pull these offers without much warning, so make sure you see the gift card in your cart before checking out.

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 one on eBay today for $50, one of the best deals we’ve ever seen. [Fitbit One, $50]

I’ve owned a corded electric trimmer for a couple years, and I could probably count on one hand the number of times I’ve actually bothered to use it; dealing with the extension cord is just too much of a pain. This battery-powered alternative is somehow marked down to $30 right now on Worx’s official eBay store, and I’m not sure I’ve ever made a purchase more quickly in my life.

If you missed out on on last month’s Bosch Insight wiper blade sale, or if you just don’t like Bosch Insight blades, Amazon will sell you two Michelin Stealth blades today for $20. Just add any two to your cart (shipped and sold by Amazon.com), and the price will automatically be reduced to $20 at checkout. The deal even works if you buy two different sized blades, so you should have no trouble finding a combination that fits your car.

As the kids might say, “yassss.”
