Top Tech Deals

There’s no such thing as owning too much flash storage, and you can stock up on flash drives and SD cards in today’s Amazon Gold Box.

In addition to the bog standard SD cards and USB 3.0 flash drives that you’d expect to find (256GB microSD card, anyone?), there are also some pretty clever products to be had in here. My personal favorite is a flash drive that includes both USB-C and USB-A plugs, but you’ll also find flash drives with Lightning plugs for your iPhone, microUSB for older Android phones, and even built-in Wi-Fi so you don’t have to plug them in at all.

You can find all of the deals here, but remember that these prices are only available today, or until sold out.

If you ever listen to audio from your laptop’s tiny, awful speakers, do yourself a solid and pick up these Logitech alternatives for just $20. At this price, they won’t blow anyone away, but they’ll sound worlds better than your laptop.

Before you flee the country and/or go on your next international trip, be sure to pick up this universal plug adapter for $12 with code TENSUN05. It also comes with a detachable USB adapter (with standard US prongs) that can be used as a standalone charger as well.

Half of your electronics charge over USB these days, so it makes sense to buy power strips that include both AC outlets and USB ports. For just $16, this Aukey power strip includes four of each.

TP-Link just came out with their answer to the mesh networking trend, and you can get three Deco M5 routers for just $200 today with promo code 50RADIO.

By virtue of being new, these don’t have as many reviews as, say, Eero routers, but $200 for a 3-pack (enough to cover a 4500 square foot home, according to TP-Link) is a pretty stunning price compared to similar products on the market. I was actually sent a demo unit of the three-pack to try out, and while I couldn’t really test the range in my 700 square foot apartment, I found them to be very easy to set up.

Whether you like to spend a lot of time outdoors, or just want to be prepared for extended power outages, these Aukey solar chargers can juice up two USB-powered devices at once using nothing but the sun.

The cheaper model is more compact, but can only put out 3.1A across the two ports (or 2.4A on a single port), while the larger model can output 2.4A simultaneously on each port.

Anker’s new battery case for the iPhone 6, 6s, and 7 does things a little differently than you might expect, but it could be the best option for iPhone owners who want a battery case for certain situations, but might not use it every day.

Unlike literally every iPhone battery case ever made, Anker’s PowerCore Case doesn’t stay plugged into the iPhone’s Lightning port at all times. Instead, it’s more like a battery backpack with a tiny, hideaway Lightning cable that you can plug in whenever your phone needs a boost.

While it’s a less sleek look when you’re actually using the PowerCore Case to charge your phone, it actually makes a lot of sense. This design means that the entire outer edge of the case can be made of silicone rather than rigid plastic, making it easy to take off when you don’t need it. It also doesn’t obscure your phone’s Lightning port, so you can still use all of the Lightning cables you’ve already set up around your home, office, and car.

The case regularly sells for $50 (about half of what Apple charges for their own version), but for a limited time, you can get one for an all-time low $40.

You don’t need to sell a kidney to afford noise-cancelling Bluetooth headphones; these 4 star-rated Cowin E-7s are just $39 right now, or $31 off with promo code 4BW672VA.

They might not have the brand recognition of Sony or Bose, but these headphones pack in 30 hours of battery life, the ability to use them in wired mode if the battery dies, and yes, active noise cancellation that reviewers say works really well.

If the price tag of the GoPro Hero5 scared you off when it first came out, Amazon is knocking off $50. Right now, score the uber-loaded Hero5 for $350 and enjoy the waterproofing and voice-command capabilities to your heart’s content.

You know the little charging brick that came with your phone? Throw it out, and spend $6 on this replacement from Aukey (with code AUKEYWC1). It’s only slightly larger than Apple’s standard iPhone charger, but it includes two ports, folding prongs, and 2.4A of current (shared between the ports) to charge your devices faster.

Top Home Deals

OxyLED saw our readers’ comments about the T-02 night light’s color temperature yesterday, so they’ve reached out with a pair of deals on their brand new warm models. These are exactly the same as the original T-02 and T-02 Plus (check out our roundup to see the differences), but with warmer bulbs that should be more pleasant at night.

You might have a bathroom scale at home that works just fine for weighing luggage when you’re leaving town, but this hanging scale is small enough to take with you, so you can make sure you won’t get dinged for all of those heavy souvenirs on your return trip. All it has to do is save you from an overweight baggage fee once, and it will have paid for itself several times over.

It’s easy to see why Cuisinart’s DBM-8 electric burr coffee grinder is Amazon’s top seller in the category. It’s affordable, it’s dead simple to use, it includes 18 coarseness settings, and it looks great. Today’s $37 price tag is roughly $8 less than usual, so perk up, and lock in your order before it sells out.

If you’re curious about Amazon Dash buttons, today’s a great day to try them. In preparation of the beach days and road trips you’ll be making this summer, Amazon has all the buttons you could need to stock up for just $3 each. And as always, the first time you use them to order an item from Amazon, you’ll automatically receive a $5 discount.

We see deals on WeMo switches and TP-Link Smart Plugs on a pretty regular basis, but this similar product from Koogeek is Apple HomeKit certified, and only $22 today.

Like those other smart switches, the Koogeek Wi-Fi Smart Plug includes an app for turning your electronics on and off, and putting them on a schedule. The key difference here is that you can also control it with Siri from your phone, or from Control Center in iOS 10. That’s a big deal if you’re an iPhone owner, and with promo code AK25AEN6, you’re not even paying a premium for it.

You won’t find mechanics tool sets with hundreds of pieces in today’s Amazon Gold Box, but the tools you do find are affordable, and should be sufficient for jobs you want to tackle around your home or in your garage. Prices start at just $15 for a 20-piece socket set, but head over to Amazon to see all of your options.

This Suaoki portable jump starter only puts out 300A, meaning you should only buy it if your car’s engine is 2.5L or smaller. But if that’s all you need, $22 is one of the best prices we’ve ever seen on any product like this.

The humble and inexpensive cast iron skillet is one of most important pieces of cooking gear you can own, and Lodge’s highly-rated 10” model is back down to $13 on Amazon. If you don’t own one, you shouldn’t hesitate.

Cooking for one? The 8" model is a few bucks less.

While you’re there, pick up some cast iron scrapers or a chainmail scrubber for cleaning, and a silicone handle cover to protect your hands.

Summer’s just around the corner, and if your home or office is starting to feel a little stuffy, this popular Honeywell desk fan has never been cheaper. I’ve used this exact fan on my nightstand for years, and can confirm that it blows air quite well.

Every kitchen needs a scale, and when you can get an attractive, easy-to-read model for just $12 (with code R5OXL889), there’s even less reason not to buy one.

Update: Back in stock, if you missed it last week.

For a limited time, Amazon will sell you three pouches of Tide HE-compatible laundry detergent (totaling 144 ounces or 93 loads) for just $14. 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 use Amazon Subscribe & Save.

Maybe there’s a special birthday coming up, or you just want to buy yourself something sparkly. Whatever’s happening, this Swarovski jewelry sale on Amazon probably has a piece of under-$100 jewelry for it. Rings, pendants, bracelets, and earrings (including pearl, gemstone, and zirconia pieces) are all marked down, today only.

You probably have boring socks, and that’s okay! Maybe it’s time to add a little bit of color to your foot wardrobe in the form of some ridiculous socks. Hotsox is a purveyor of such socks, and there are a ton of styles for both men and women that are 20% off, including ducks, french fries (with ketchup), pasta, and more.

Golf gifts might be a little sterotypical for Father’s Day, but if your dad enjoys hitting the links, you can save big today on a dozen Callaway balls, and also a practice hitting net.

If you’ve had your eyes on a Fitbit (may we recommend the Charge 2?), or wanted to get one for Dad this month, nearly the entire lineup is on sale right now on Amazon, with discounts ranging from $20 to $50.

You probably have a couple weddings to go to this summer, so why not stock up on some nicer pieces while they’re on sale? Use the code SUMMERBEST at Bonobos and get 25% off select styles like trousers, blazer, button-downs, and ties. It’s a lot easier than worrying about washing the same thing over and over again.

You know you’re an adult when you get excited that you can get 3 or 4 pairs for under $10 at Uniqlo. Pick up three pairs of men’s or women’s socks and you’ll see the discount automatically added to your cart. Plus, if you need to combat the foot stink, their Anti-Odor men’s socks are 4-for-$10.

Whether you wear TOMS for the ease of never having to tie your shoes or just dig the style, this is one deal you should take advantage of. Head over to Nordstrom Rack for their rather large TOMS sale. Plus, they’ve come a long way from just simple, canvas slip-ons.

A first aid kit is one of those things you should probably keep in your glove box, and you should definitely have at home, and at $12 for 299 pieces, there’s no excuse not to be prepared for minor accidents.

It includes bandages, gauze, medicines, an instant cold pack, and more, all tucked away in a refillable soft pack. You can thank us later.

Amazon always offers a free one-month trial of its Audible audiobook service, but for a limited time, they’re also tossing in an extra free book credit to sweeten the pot. That’s in addition to the book you normally get with the trial, and each credit is valid for any title in the Audible library. The best part? The books you choose are yours to keep, even if you cancel the trial before it renews.

Just note that this deal is only valid for new Audible members only.

Top Gaming Deals

Some people would probably give a kidney to own a Nintendo Switch, so if you’re one of the lucky few that’s actually gotten their hands on one, you’d damn well better take good care of it. For a limited time, get a pair of Anker screen protectors for $6, or $3 less than usual with promo code NO1B7475.

We could debate whether $250 for a golden 1TB PS4 Slim is a deal: MSRP for the console is $300, but Sony has explicitly said that this one will cost $250. That said, the gold model is only available for a limited time, so if you like the color, this is your chance.

Arms sure seems like it’s going to be the Switch’s third must-own game, and you can get it on launch day for $48 if you have Amazon Prime. Just note that you won’t see the discount until checkout.

Normally, upgrading to an Xbox Elite controller will cost you around $150. Even when they’re on sale, they rarely get below $120. Right now, pick up a refurbished one for just $80. It’s 100% worth it.

Pandemic Legacy is a co-op board game that raises the stakes by adding permanent (actually permanent) changes to the board as you play, and it’s amazing. It also happens to be marked down to $36 on Amazon today, within a few cents of an all-time low.

Note: Both of these products are essentially the same game, just with different color schemes, allowing you to keep two games going at once without getting confused.

If you missed out on God of War IIIon PS3, or if you just want to replay it in 1080p/60, the PS4 remastered version is down to just $15 for Prime members, complete with all of the game’s DLC.

$5 off the usual $69 isn’t a huge discount on the Switch Pro Controller, but Nintendo stuff being in stock is noteworthy these days, let alone discounted.

If you never played the first three Uncharted games on PS3 (or even if you did), the remastered collection featuring the entire trilogy is down to $15 on PS4 today. That’s not quite an uncharted price (it’s been as low as $12), but it’s still a great value.
