Today’s Best Tech Deals
Right now you can invest in a refurbished Canon 5DS full-frame DSLR for a low $1,500. There’s few cameras in the market that are comparable for use in a studio environment with this 50.6 megapixel monster.
Before going further, I should say that this camera is not for everyone.
It’s a beast; it’s big, bulky and creates images that are way too big for most people. But, if you want to create unbelievably detailed images for printing, this is the one to get.And $1,500 is a spectacular bargain for something like this. Paired with my Buy Committee-recommended 85mm 1.2mm lens, I was able to make some of my favorite images ever with this camera.
Use the promo code KJEOS at checkout to bring the price down. This is a manufacturer refurbished unit, so you know it’s done right and you’ve got a 30-day warranty just in case something goes wrong. For what it’s worth, this refurbished camera sells for $1,785 on Amazon.
Filippo Morato’s Suave wallet has proven to be a hit with our readers, and now, he’s back with some high quality leather Apple Watch bands, and our readers can get them for an exclusive price.
Bands was successfully funded on Kickstarter back in the spring, and now they’re available for purchase through Indiegogo OnDemand, with immediate shipping. Our readers can pick any two Bands straps for $39, compared to the $49 everyone else would pay.
All of Bands’ straps are made from full grain, vegetable tanned Italian leather, and include high-end touches like leather band retainers and burnished edges along the entire length of the strap. They sent me one to try out during their crowdfunding campaign, and I found it to be incredibly soft on the wrist (no tugged hairs to speak of), and of course, it looked great. It’s high-end leather, so how could it not?
Your favorite USB car charger just happens to be the smallest one you can buy, and you can grab it on Amazon for $5 today with code QCHR94PO. This is Kinja Deals’ top-selling product of all time, and if it’s been on your wish list, this is the best price we’ve seen in about a year.
Right now, you can maximize the utility of your MacBook’s USB-C port thanks to these discounts on Anker hubs. To get the best deals on each, you’ll need to punch in the promo code associated with each product (they’re different from each other.)
Here’s what you should know about each one:
Anker 5-in-1 USB C Hub has two card readers and three USB 3.0 ports. You won’t be able to charge through it, but it’s also the cheapest one here. This is the one to get if you just have basic needs and have another USB-C port for charging. It’s $15 after you use the promo code ANKER8322
Anker 4-in-1 USB C Hub swaps the card readers for a power delivery input and three USB 3.0 ports. It’ll cost you $17 after you use the promo code ANKER8321.
Anker 5-in-1 USB C Hub is almost exactly like the one above but with the card readers. Use promo code ANKER8333 to drop the price to $18. (This is better than the first one. It’s just a dollar more.)
Anker 3-in-1 USB C Hub is the only one of the four with an HDMI port, and has one USB 3.0 port and power delivery. It’s $20 with the promo code ANKER8335. This is the best (see: only) option if you want to connect to a monitor or a TV.
Anker’s PowerLine II Lightning cables aren’t subtle things: they’re big, chunky, and obviously built to last. And if you do manage to break it at some point, the lifetime warranty means you can get a new one for free. Basically, if you’re a serial Lightning cable destroyer, this is the cord for you.
For a limited time, the white model is marked down to $9, and promo code ANKERBD6 will bring that down to $8, the best price ever on one of these cords. The other colors are also all on sale for $9 with promo code ANKER3FT.
Need a longer cable? The 6' version is marked down to $10 in black or white with promo code ANKERCB6.
Just because you have a whole lot of devices, doesn’t mean you need to also need to have a whole lot of remotes. Take the guesswork out of powering on with this Logitech Harmony 950 Touch IR Remote, now down to $175. It’s compatible with over 250,000, which is about how many devices we all own these days, and will work with 15 at a time. Plus, it comes with its own charging station and features customizable controls to suit your personal watching preferences.
We’ve seen it drop as low at $150 on very rare occasions like Cyber Monday, but otherwise, this is as good a deal as you’re likely to get.
Whether you want to completely overhaul your home network, or add on to the one you already have, this Gold Box has something for you. Right now, Amazon’s offering solid discounts on a solid collection of Linksys networking products, including their affordable Velop mesh system.
For what it’s worth, don’t drop the $334 on the 3-pack of Velop routers. Instead, add both the 2-pack system and the wall plug unit. It’ll save you about $25 and the wall-plug style is super convenient.
Of course, if you’re just looking to replace your standard router, or extend your signal, you have options here, too. Check out the main page for all of the deals. These prices disappear at the end of the day, or until sold out (that’s been happening a lot lately) so act fast.
You probably keep a lot of charging cables, battery packs, hard drives, and other sundry tech accessories rattling around in your bag, and your collection is unlikely to shrink any time soon. But it’s easy to keep them organized and untangled with this $10 organizer (with promo code WCRVPE22), which is big enough to hold an iPad mini-sized tablet, plus a ton of various accessories.
Note: The code is only valid on the black and green color linked.
Anker’s diminutive Soundcore Mini 2 Bluetooth speakers aren’t going to knock your socks off, but they punch above their weight in terms of sound quality and features, and you can get two of them for $35 with promo code KINJAB3107.
Why two? In addition to just using them as two separate and distinct speakers, you can also choose to pair them to each other for true stereo sound from a single audio source. There are lots of speakers that do that these days, but not many of them are this small or this affordable.
You also get IPX78 water-resistance, Anker’s BassUp mode for enhanced low ends on demand, and even a surprisingly robust 15 hours of battery life.
Today’s Best Home Deals
You’re not in college anymore, it is time to upgrade your popcorn situation. No more microwaves! Get yourself a Dash Hot Air Popcorn Popper while it is a couple of bucks off on Amazon in two colors, red and white. It can pop 16 cups of fresh and delicious popcorn.
Just because summer is over that doesn’t mean you have to stop entertaining guests in your backyard. If you’re looking to spruce up your space, you can get Govee Waterproof LED Outdoor String Lights for $10 off on Amazon. You can control the LED lights seven modes directly from your smartphone. The lights can really help you set the party mood, as they can sync to music, with two settings: dynamic and mild.
If your child is the kind of picky eater who doesn’t like different foods to touch, send them to school with this Bentgo Lunch Box, now $25 when you clip the $3 off coupon. The box, available in three fun colors, contains five compartments portioned specifically for tots, and it’s leaf-proof, dishwasher-safe, and microwave-safe. Chances are, they’ll eat at least one of the things you pack, right?
It’s about to start getting colder out, but anxiety is always in season. In addition to keeping you warm, a weighted blanket can work wonders for your anxiety, and several different models are on sale for the first day of fall, for some of the best prices we’ve ever seen.
The secret to these deals is that they’re two deals in one. For all four blankets, you’ll want to clip the $10 coupon on the page, and then use the blanket-specific promo code at checkout to save even more. $41 for a 15 pounder is a stellar deal, but I’d probably pay $12 more for the 20 pounder. I want my weighted blankets to break ribs.
Update: This is the last week of this deal, so sign up while you can.
It’s back! One of Butcher Box’s most popular welcome offers is hitting the griddle once again, and new customers can get two pounds of free ground beef added to every box for the life of their membership. That’s like eight free burgers every month, or a bunch of tacos, or a big bowl of spaghetti and meatballs. Just don’t forget the spicy ketchup.
Your bonus beef come bundled with any of Butcher Box’s pre-selected boxes, which are priced at $129 for 24 servings, or $238 for 48 servings, delivered every 30 or 60 days. For a nominal surcharge, you can also build a completely custom box, with your choices of proteins.
Note: You’ll have to enter your email at the beginning of the process. I know, it’s annoying.
If you have a ton of smart devices in your home, why not make them even smarter? You can get a two-pack of Gosund Mini Smart Plug With Timer for $13 (50% off) using promo code QM4NADZC. The smart plugs work with Amazon Alexa and Google Home, so you can shut off lights from across the room, as well as from your smartphone.
It’s always a major buzzkill when you’re working on a DIY project, and you have to turn a screw in an awkward position where your drill can’t fit. This Bosch electric screwdriver kit won’t be able to reach every tough-to-reach screw, but with a right angle and an offset attachment included, it should be able to reach a lot more of them.
And don’t think that this is just an electric screwdriver either. Bosch’s 12V drills consistently punch above their weight, and you can definitely use the standard drilling attachment to punch holes through wood, metal, and according to some reviewers, even masonry.
Normally priced around $200, and rarely discounted, it’s down to just $117 in today’s Amazon Gold Box, today only.
Recreate the “wow factor” of a server walking over a sizzling fajita plate in the comfort of your own home with this discounted Lodge cast iron set. Typically selling for around $25, this is a hot deal. In fact, I’d wager it’ll sell out before the end of the day.
Included in this set is the 10-by-7-inch oval pan, red-stained wood base, and potholder. All you’ll need is a nicely seasoned flank steak, some peppers, an avocado and hot sauce, and you’re golden.
Make sure to pick yours up ASAP before this deal disappears.
Buying a new mattress is one of the biggest purchases you’ll make, after buying a home, of course. What you sleep on is important and can shape how you feel all day long. Right now, you can get $200 off Casper’s newest Wave mattress, plus two free standard Casper Pillows when you use the promo code WAVEPILLOW. By the way, Casper’s pillows are our readers’ favorite. Check out what our readers’ had to say over in The Inventory:
Perfect combination of fluffy, supportive, and stays cooler than any other pillow I have owned. - Wholandia
Hanging planters are a great way to fill your bare walls with something other than framed pictures, and these little glass balls are a cheap and easy solution. Each one hangs on a single nail, and is perfect for water plants and small succulents.
A pack of six planters is down to $19 on Amazon right now, the best price since April. Plants not included.
This Rubbermaid FreshWorks Produce Saver will save you a ton of cash by keeping your produce fresh for a longer period of time. Think of this as an investment: fewer ruined mushrooms and fruits means less waste and fewer trips to the store.
I can’t recommend this enough. Hurry and get yours because this one will disappear fast. (I bought two.)
This deal will give you Life: Right now, you can get three 13-ounce boxes of Cinnamon Life (my boss Shep McAllister’s favorite cereal, by the way) for just $5 when you clip the 20% off coupon on the page. Eat it with your choice of milk for breakfast, or just snack on it plain throughout the day. Just don’t screw up your life by missing out on this deal.
Right now, this AUKEY 36W USB-C PD car charger can be yours for just $10. Just clip the coupon code on the page and you’ll get the best price on this super helpful accessory. This particular plug offers fast, 18W charging through its USB-C and standard USB port.
What’s better than a smart plug that only covers one power outlet? Two smart plugs that only cover one outlet, of course. This thin smart plug from Aukey incorporates two different outlets, and you can control them both independently with your phone or your favorite voice assistant. Just use promo code 526DKE54 at checkout to get it for $12.
With a whopping 900 lumens of brightness, a rechargeable battery, a zoomable beam, and IP65 dust and water resistance, Anker’s LC90 flashlight is enough flashlight for just about everyone. And with those specs, it’s a steal at $20, down from the usual $28.
To give you a little context about the brightness here, your smartphone’s flashlight probably puts out about 40-60 lumens. Again, this has 900. Don’t look directly at it.
If you’re running low on your pet’s prescription food, it is time to add the biggest bag of Hill’s Science Diet to your cart. Right now, when you use the promo code NEWPD, you can get 20% off first order of a Hill’s Prescription Diet item. There is a limit of one discount per customer.
Class up your home bar with this $20 globe decanter. Just clip the coupon code on the page to get the best price. I’d jump on this quickly, I’m not sure how long this discount will last.
The great thing about Philips Hue is that your fancy lighting profiles aren’t limited to standard bulbs; the Hue LightStrip Plus lets you to stick a rope of color-changing, Wi-Fi connected lights anywhere in your house.
This LightStrip Plus is compatible with Alexa, Google Assistant, and Apple HomeKit, and the starter kit is down to $58 today, the best price Amazon’s listed since 2017 (though we saw a better deal on a refurb from Woot last week). Bonus: Once the new Hue HDMI Sync Box comes out next month, you’ll be able to sync your lights with whatever’s playing on your TV.
$260 would be a really good price for a 325 watt, 5 qt. KitchenAid Artisan stand mixer, but today, that gets you a 6 qt. Professional model with a 575 watt motor that can stand up to the thickest doughs.
This price is the best we’ve ever seen on this model, and it’s available in three colors, but it’s only available today, or until sold out.
You can also score a solid deal on a flex edge beater, which will really come in handy for scraping the sides of your bowl while you mix.

You can even bring it on vacation with you, as it has a two-week lifespan between charges.

And while our faith in good Nordstrom Rack deals is everlasting, this particular sale is not, so shop it sooner rather than later or risk the best stuff selling out.
Collagen is said to have benefits for your hair, skin, nails, and joints, and now, you can put all that peptide powder goodness into water, coffee, smoothies, baked goods, and more, for less.

Deals You May Have Missed
TCL’s affordable 6-series TVs are famous for offering every form of HDR (including top-shelf Dolby Vision), local dimming zones for better contrast and black levels, and even excellent Roku software. So if you want to upgrade for all of the new fall TV shows, or just your nightly Netflix coma, the 65" is down to $460 right now, if you can live with a refurb of last year’s model.
$460 is a really good price for just about any 65" TV, let alone one with local dimming and Dolby Vision. It also comes with a 90 day warranty to ease your concerns, in case anything’s extra wonky.
Anker’s portable projectors are pretty great on-the-go cinemas, but as we’ve covered before, there’s a yawning gap between the company’s original Nebula Capsule and the new Nebula Capsule II and Capsule Max. A new mid-range entry in the line aims to change that.
Eschewing the can-shaped design of the rest of the capsules in favor of a more rectangular profile, the Nebula Apollo is essentially an original Nebula Capsule, but with the Capsule II’s 200 ANSI lumens of brightness, compared to the Capsule’s 100. It has the same (somewhat outdated) Android OS, the same 480p standard definition sensor, and the same connections and screen mirroring support. The picture quality won’t blow anyone away, but it’s perfectly sufficient for an outdoor movie, and the added brightness should go a long way towards making the image pop.
At its $380 MSRP, it’s priced right between the $300 Capsule and the $470 Capsule Max with its 720p sensor, but for a limited time, you can get it for $330 at launch with promo code APOLLOGO.
The wall charger that came with your phone just doesn’t cut it while traveling these days. In addition to probably being slow as hell, you likely have at least two or three USB-powered devices that you’ll want to charge every night while you sleep.
Luckily, Anker stuffed four USB ports and 40W of power into a tiny travel charger (with folding AC prongs!), and you can get it for $21 today on Amazon, which is within a couple of bucks off the best price we’ve seen, no promo code required.
Normally, you pay a premium to buy snacks in single-serve bags, but that’s not really the case with a couple of deals on Amazon today. You can get 40 bags of Sun Chips (in three flavors) for $10, or a 40-pack of various Lays snacks for $9. In both cases, you’ll need to clip the 30% coupon and use Subscribe & Save to maximize your savings.
I got the Sun Chips myself, and it’s going to take a tremendous amount of willpower to only eat one bag at a time.
Do you find that you need time to unwind after a long day? Do yourself a huge favor and get a TaoTronics Mini Essential Oil Diffuser. It is only $7 on Amazon when you use promo code WK2J3SOP. You can use this with your favorite essential oils to destress. Or, it can be used to eliminate unwanted pet and smoking odors.
If the brand name TaoTronics sounds familiar, that’s because we write about them a lot since our readers lover to buy their headphones. Their noise-canceling headphones are only $23 right now.
Stuart Weitzman makes famously reliable, trendy shoes that are well worth their typically high price tag, but today, the brand’s boots, heels, flats, sandals, and sneakers are marked down significantly at Nordstrom Rack. Take advantage of hundreds of dollars off a new pair, and set foot into the new season with some fancy new footwear.
We know Bean Boots are amazing in the snow, but you can start using them right now in the rain as well. Today and tomorrow only, Save 20% on a variety of L.L. Bean’s most popular boots, as well as select raincoats with promo code SPLASH20. There are a ton of styles available, so there’s no reason why you can’t be fashionable when it’s gross out.
It may not be sexy or fun, but buying this $5 Rayovac lantern may be the most responsible thing you do today. In case of a power outage, or if you need a light when you go camping this fall, this particular LED lantern can run for nearly 45 hours. This 10 LED unit includes a battery and floats.
Better still, it comes with a lifetime warranty. There’s really no reason to exclude this from your garage.
If you want something a little brighter and more feature-packed, this Striker waterproof lantern is also discounted to an all-time low. With this $12 model, you have three brightness options and an easy way to attach it to the top of your tent.
If you’re gearing up for fall fitness, you’ll want to check out Nike’s site, where 1,500+ styles are currently marked down. Just use promo code SPRINT to save up to 25% at checkout.
This sale seems like a solid mix of apparel and shoes, but if you’re looking for stuff suited to a particular sport, just use the sidebar to filter by product type, and you can surely find something to fit your wardrobe. This sale ends on Thursday, but the best stuff could sell out early, so you should sprint, not walk over to Nike.
It’s time to reset your wardrobe for the upcoming new season. Luckily, PUMA is having an End of Season Sale with 50% off over 300 items with promo code FALL50. This sale is full of athleisure and sneakers, so let’s just say your wardrobe will look like it’s ready to hit the gym, even if you aren’t.

If you love board games, you owe it to yourself to buy Betrayal Legacy, especially when it’s on sale.
The game is the Legacy version of the popular Betrayal at House on the Hill, and takes place before the events of the original game, fleshing out its backstory while giving you the freedom to craft that story through your play.
Here’s what Eric Ravenscraft had to say about the game on The Inventory:
With each successive chapter, you unlock new rules, discover new secrets, and unfold the tale of the world’s most haunted mansion. Legacy games in general have a sense of permanence to them. You’ll have to destroy certain cards or make permanent alterations that might make the obsessive game collector cringe.
What you’re left with at the end, though, is a tale (and a game) that’s thoroughly yours. Once you’ve finished the story chapters, the game can be played as much as you want just like a normal Betrayal game. Your copy will have unique traits that no other copy has. And now, you know the deep and disturbing history of every tile, every item, and every body haunting the house on the hill.
$54 is about $6 less than the usual going rate over the last few months, and within $5 of the best deal we’ve seen. It includes a prologue and 13 chapters, each of which should take about 75 minutes to play through. And once you’re done with the Legacy campaign, you’ll be left with a fully functional (but totally unique to you) Betrayal game that you can continue to play.
Amazon’s Echo Wall Clock is a revelation for the specific (but I think quite large!) subset of people who:
1) Use Alexa timers in the kitchen with some regularity.
and
2) Don’t have an Echo Show with a screen built in.
Just pop in some batteries, hang the clock, and a ring of LEDs will automatically count down the minutes and final 60 seconds of any timer you set with your voice. It’s elegant, seamless, and I can’t stand how much I love the thing.
It came out late last year for $30, but it just got a rare discount to $25. The clock is ticking on this deal though, so don’t waste any time.
Anker’s PowerCore+ 26800 was one of the first USB-C PD battery packs to hit the market, and to this day is one of the only ones that includes a 30W USB-C wall charger to recharge it (or any of your other gadgets).
At its usual ~$130, it’s a bit overpriced in this day and age, but it’s a solid investment at $68, an all-time low. The aluminum shell is durable and feels premium, and the 30W USB-C port is powerful enough to charge most laptops, albeit slower than their included wall chargers.
That gets you the battery, the wall charger, and two different chards for recharging: a microUSB cable and a USB-C cable that can charge all 26,800mAh of the battery in just 4.5 hours with the included charging brick.
Don’t need quite that much capacity or power? Check out RAVPower’s 10,000mAh battery with an 18W USB-C port for just $19.
The first USB-C battery packs were all gigantic things that were designed for situations like keeping a laptop powered up during a long flight, and indeed, those are great!
But lately, we’ve seen a proliferation of smaller, less powerful, and significantly cheaper USB-C PD packs like this one from RAVPower, just $19 today on Amazon. We’ve had it a few bucks cheaper as part of an exclusive, but this is still an excellent price for what you’re getting.
Its 18W USB-C port can’t charge a MacBook at full speed (though it can usually maintain its current battery level as long as you aren’t playing games or exporting video), but it’s enough power to charge a Nintendo Switch while you play Zelda at 40,000 feet, or your iPhone at the fastest possible speed before you land (with a compatible Lightning cable). For a lot of us, that’s exactly what we need out of this sort of thing.
This is a single-use basket, and that use is record storage. Don’t even think about using it to store magazines—or anything else for that matter. Don’t you dare.
Looking to bag a new bag this season? Coach is taking 30% off orders of $400+ and 20% off orders less than $400 with promo code FALL19. The sale event includes a variety of trendy handbags, backpacks, and wallets, not to mention a few key chains, belts, and even some shoes, all of which could complete any fall look. Just be sure to shop before this sale falls out of style.
Ultimate boho brand Free People’s effortlessly cool, vintage-y styles don’t come without some heavy lifting on the part of your wallet. But today, flower children should head over to Nordstrom Rack, where Free People clothing and athletic apparel is marked way down. Move quickly, since free spirits will likely buy up this stock faster than you can say, Coachella weekend 1 passes with car camping included.
To kick off the week, HauteLook is offering up a taste of Tarte Cosmetics for less than usual. For the next few days, makeup lovers can save big on several of the brand’s beloved palettes, along with brush sets, lip sets, mascaras, and more. It’s a good lookin’ sale if I’ve ever seen one.
The Dead Sea in Israel is known for its supremely salty water and mineral-rich mud; anyone who’s ever visited the site has likely slathered themselves in the stuff. And now, the Israeli skincare company that has bottled the uniquely nutrient-filled Dead Sea dirt is giving it away at a discount. All Ahava products currently on sail—er, sorry—sale at Ulta right now, with 25% off. Test out the Dead Sea Purifying Mud Soap, which sounds counterproductive, but isn’t; stay smooth with Mineral Hand Cream; or hydrate using one of the many lotions infused with Dead Sea botanicals before this deal is dead in the water.
Your (probably gross from being in sandals all summer) feet could use a little love. So soften those things up with Baby Foot, the OG foot peel that put your gag reflex to the test when it went viral a few years back. Right now, this disgusting-yet-satisfying product is on sale for $20, that’s $5 off its usual price. But really, can you put a price on making your feet shed dead skin like a snake over the course of several days? I think no.
If you ever shop at Target, you should have a Target REDCard. It comes in both credit and debit forms, and both save you 5% on almost everything Target sells. But if you want a little added incentive to sign up, if you get the card between now and September 28, Target will send you a $50 off $100+ coupon in the mail. It has a few restrictions, and expires on November 16, but Target sells an awful lot of stuff, so you should have no trouble using it.
The best part of the REDCard: You don’t have to carry it. You can link it to the Target app on your phone, and use that at checkout at any Target store.
One of these days, AA and AAA batteries will be relics of the past, but in the meantime, you might as well get them cheap. These AmazonBasics batteries aren’t rechargeable, but when you clip the 30% coupons, they work out to just a few cents each.
Velcro cable ties are an essential part of any home theater, desk, cable drawer, or travel bag, and the multicolored ones can make it easier to track various wires over long distances. Get a pack of 60 for just $13, within a few cents of an all-time low.
Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice is a deceptively expensive game, since you’ll have to budget for some CBD gummies to keep yourself calm, or failing that, for a new TV after you throw your controller through your current one. That being said, the game by itself is down to $40 on PS4 and Xbox One today.
From Kotaku’s review:
The player quickly becomes the butt of that joke, as Sekiro is punishingly difficult. (This should be shocking to roughly no one, given that it’s made by From Software, developer of the infamously challenging Souls games and Bloodborne.) The combat requires real attention to detail and a willingness to drill down on a few sets of possible reactions. Boss and mid-boss battles are a furious interplay of choreographed patterns mixed with improvisation. First you learn an enemy’s moves; then, maybe five or 10 deaths later, the real battle begins. Learning the early boss Lady Butterfly’s attack patterns is that much more satisfying because the presentation is excellent. She moves like a dancer, and her attack animations tell a story.
I found myself deeply immersed in the way these battles worked, obsessing over each animation, every cue, every possible breakaway combination that could happen as a result of my own reactions. Combat in Sekiro is like a dance, but it’s also like a series of the fastest-ever choose-your-own-adventure branches: Parrying this leads to a thrust. Not blocking leads to a sweep. With the addition of shinobi prosthetics and skills, all of which can be upgraded via skill trees, the options open up immensely. As stubborn as Sekiro is in forcing players to learn how each enemy telegraphs its moves, there are still lots of ways to approach each encounter.
Before another commenter yells at me “it isn’t even Halloween, enough Christmas stuff,” sorry friend. LEGO doesn’t care. Christmas shopping starts right now. The LEGO Stars Wars Advent Calendar is 280 pieces and includes 24 mini-figures, like Luke Skywalker, Chewbacca, a Porg, and more. The LEGO Harry Potter Advent Calendar is 305 pieces and includes seven mini-figures (obviously that includes Ron, Harry, and Hermione).
Both calendars are a couple of bucks off today, so you’ll want to get them now before they jack up the price for Christmas.
If you have any old SSDs lying around, this SATA to USB 3.0 cable can turn them into speedy external drives, with no tools required. Sure, there are plenty of enclosures that will do the same job, but I think it’s kind of cool to be able to see the label of the SSD.
AirPods had their “they look stupid” phase in The Discourse, and then for awhile, they were a meme for wealth. Now, I think they’re just headphones; as invisible as any other headphones. And they’re pretty good ones at that.
In terms of size, fit, and fidgetability, the gen 2 AirPods are the same AirPods that you know and begrudgingly love, but with an upgraded chip that provides Bluetooth 5.0, faster switching between devices, hands-free “Hey Siri” support, and longer battery life when talking on the phone. $169 is a $30 discount, and the best price we’ve seen on the version with the wireless charging case. Don’t need the fancy case? The standard model is also on sale for $144, a $15 discount, and also an all-time low.
Shorts season is coming to an end, but if you want a break from the typical fall jeans when you’re out and about, you can save $20 on Proof’s popular Nomad Pants today at Huckberry.
Made from Japanese Toray twill, the Nomad Pants offer more stretch and comfort than a typical pair of chinos, and a hidden zipper pocket with enough space for a passport makes them great for travel. Grab them in five different colors for $78, with free shipping.
Have you been looking for a pair of pants that are stylish enough to wear to work, but also comfortable enough to wear to the gym? Meet the All Day Every Day Pant from Public Rec. The pants are crafted for men on the move, as an alternative to sweatpants, but a more comfortable option than jeans. Right now, you can get 10% off your order when you use promo code KINJA10.
If you’re looking for something a little dressier, though I will concede and say the Every Day Pant isn’t slouchy, the WorkDay Pant might be a better fit for you. If you want to get both or a pair of joggers, the promo code applies to your entire cart (one time only). Public Rec has free shipping and free returns on their orders.
Super Mario Maker 2 has enough Nintendo-crafted Mario levels to be worth its $60 MSRP, and the endless ecosystem of player-created levels is one of the most creative spaces in all of gaming. If you were holding out for a deal though, you can grab a copy on eBay today for $47.
Anyone that charges their phone wirelessly knows that having one Qi charger in the house isn’t enough. No, you want them on just about every horizontal surface, so that you can ABC (Always Be Charging).
Anker’s PowerWave stands hold your phone at a good viewing angle, support 7.5W iPhone charging (with a Quick Charge wall adapter - not included), and are only $15 each when you buy a two-pack today. Just use promo code KJEB2524 at checkout to get the deal.
Love Alexa, and wish you could take her with you on your commute? Anker’s running the best deal ever on their hands-free, Alexa-enabled car charger today after you clip the 11% coupon (the list price is already a significant discount from its usual price, as it stands)
You can check out my full impressions here, but the Roav VIVA from Anker does an admirable job of providing hands-free Alexa access while you’re driving, including turn-by-turn directions, your daily briefing, and even third party Alexa apps like Jeopardy. As befitting an Anker product, it’s also a dual port car charger, albeit an awkwardly designed one.
Back in March, Private Internet Access (our readers’ favorite VPN service) raised its prices for the first time ever. And while our readers can still get an exclusive 3-years for $99 plan, they just lowered their other plans back to their old prices for a limited time.
The reason this is a big deal is that you can renew your membership as many times as you want at whatever price you originally paid. Once the prices go back to normal, you’ll still be locked into the lower rate.
Here are the new (old) promotional prices, along with what you’d normally pay:
- 1 month: $6.95 (down from $9.99)
- 1 year: $39.95 (down from $71.88)
Clearly, the annual plan is the sweet spot here if you don’t want to commit to the three-year plan, but $6.95/month for 10 simultaneous connections, clients for just about every conceivable device, and servers in 32 countries (foreign Netflix, anyone?). We aren’t sure when the prices will go back up, so you probably want to lock in your account ASAP.
