A Hue starter kit-Echo Dot bundle, flea medicine for pets, and an Anker SoundBuds discount lead off Wednesday’s best deals from around the web.

Today’s Best Tech Deals
Anker’s SoundBuds Curves were a runner up in our recent affordable headphone poll (they were only beat out by Anker’s own SoundBuds Slims), and you can grab a pair for just $21 today.
The SoundBuds Curve are the sportiest member of the SoundBuds family, and are designed with active users in mind. Their ear wings ensure they stay put while you exercise, and an internal hydrophobic coating means your sweat won’t fry them. Their best spec though? 12.5 hours of battery life, which is basically unheard of in the space.
The Bose Solo 5 isn’t much for frills. There’s no surround sound, Atmos, or external subwoofer to be found here. But it is a dead simple, compact, and well-revieweed sound bar that will make your TV sound way better, and even has a dedicated dialogue mode to make voices come through loud and clear.
$199 is as low as it ever gets (and it’s only been on sale for this cheap a few times before), so if you’re still using any of your TVs’ built-in speakers, your ears will thank you for this.
Vizio’s budget-friendly E-Series TVs have been replaced in 2019 with the new V-Series, and the 70" model is currently cheaper than the equivalent 2018 E model ever got, even during the holidays (it’s currently $30 more expensive).
$798 gets you a 70" 4K TV with local dimming for better black levels, and even support for Dolby Vision HDR (the good kind), which is rare at this price point and size. You also get built-in Chromecast support, Google Assistant and Alexa support, and even Vizio WatchFree, which lets you stream 100 live TV and online channels with no subscription.
Anker’s best known for its small and portable SoundCore Bluetooth speakers, but the larger and louder SoundCore Pro+ is great for backyard barbecues and parties.
The Pro+ puts out 25W of sound through four drivers, both double what you’d find in the original SoundCore. It’s also IPX4 water resistant, so it can stand up to rain, and runs for a very respectable 18 hours on a charge. It typically sells for $90, but Anker’s marked it down to $72 this week after you clip the $18 coupon.
Want to charge all of the things, all at one time? This RAVPower USB charging hub features six ports with 60W of power shared between them, which is plenty even to charge six iPads simultaneously. Best of all, it’s only $17 with promo code KINJA13B, so what will you do with that much power?
If price has been the barrier to entry keeping you from better audio, Status Audio is offering our readers the best price we’ve ever seen on their cult-favorite CB-1 over-ear headphones. Use promo code INVENTORY50 to get them for $39 (plus $6 shipping). We ran this deal a few months ago, and hundreds of you took advantage, but now you have a chance if you missed out (or just want a second pair).
Status is a direct-to-consumer headphone company, building great cans in proven form factors without the markup that comes with popular brands. In fact, there’s no branding here whatsoever.
The CB-1s are extremely comfortable out of the box, more so (in our opinion) than the ATH-M50X, MDR7506, SR60e, or V-MODA Crossfade Wireless, just to name a few.
The CB-1s have a (relatively) flat frequency response that’s great for listening to a variety of music or audio/video editing, with a wide sound stage in a closed back design. I get good isolation/seal with the updated pads. The elephant in the room here is that these are wired headphones, in the year 2019. For some of you, that may be a deal killer, but if not, they kindly include two detachable cables- coiled and straight, to ease the pain. They even smartly attach to the headphones with a twist lock.
We know from six years of Kinja Deals that great over-ear, closed back headphones for under $60 is no joke. Depending on what you’ve shelled out for in the past, they might even blow away your much more expensive pairs.
Seagate’s FireCuda is our favorite PS4 internal replacement drive, mostly thanks to its built-in 8GB of flash storage that can speed up your loading times, and you can get the 1TB model for just $50 today, the best price ever. It won’t be as fast as a real SSD, but for the price, it’s a perfect middle ground.
Amazon has a surprisingly deep bench of tech products under its AmazonBasics umbrella, and a ton of them are on sale right now. The deal is mostly comprised of cables, including USB-C cables (everyone needs more of those these days!), Lightning cables, and even DisplayPort cables. But dive into the sale, and you’ll also find laptop bags, monitor arms, wireless mice, and more.
We aren’t sure how long this deal will last, so go fill up your cart while you can.
Asus’s ROG line of gaming monitors are the favorite among pro gamers and with good reason: they’re awesome. This ASUS ROG Swift PG348Q 34" monitor is packed with all the stuff you’d want from a gaming monitor.
The PG348Q offers a curved panel (which is awesome for immersive gaming), uses G-Sync (which eliminates tearing), and a 3440x1440 resolution. There is one minor flaw: the 100Hz refresh rate. While 144hz is the gold standard for competitive gaming, it’s actually a rarity in ones this size.
This current price is the lowest we’ve ever seen, and it’s unlikely to last. And yes, it’s nigh-$800 price may seem hard to swallow, but it’s ostensibly two monitors in one. So, rocket jump over and buy this thing before... well, it’s game over man.
Today’s TP-Link Gold Box has everything you need to completely overhaul your home’s Wi-Fi or add automation with internet-connected products for some of the best prices ever.
Notable deals include the $55 Kasa Smart Power Strip, $168 TP-Link AC5400 Tri Band Smart WiFi Gaming Router, $16 Kasa Smart WiFi Light Bulb, the $170 TP-Link Deco Mesh System and Echo Dot bundle, and $80 Archer CR500 modem all of which are selling for their lowest Amazon price.
Of course, this is a Gold Box. So, the discounts will only last until the end of the day, or until sold out. Be sure to check the main deal page for all of the markdowns offered.
Today’s Best Home Deals
If you don’t own a pressure cooker, today’s a great day to fix that, as Amazon’s knocked the highly-rated Instant Pot IP-DUO60 down to $69, or $31 less than usual, and only $10 shy of the deals we saw around Black Friday. If you wait for Prime Day, you may get a better price, but it’s hard to imagine a cheaper Instant Pot deal before then.
Instant Pots do more than just cook foods quickly, though they certainly do that. In fact, it’s is also our readers’ favorite slow cooker, and an amazing rice cooker too. To put a fine point on it: It’s one of the most versatile kitchen gadgets you can own, and worthy of all the hype.
RRWWWGG. RAWRGWAWGGR. WWWRRRRRRGWWWRRRR. WAGRRRRWWGAHHHHWWWRRGGAWWWWWWRR. RWGWGWARAHHHHWWRGGWRWRW.
(It’s the cheapest it’s ever been.)
OxyLED is best known for its battery-powered light strips, but this discounted kit plugs into an AC outlet, and is designed specifically for under-cabinet installation.
The $19 kit (with promo code 5XY8KP83) comes with three foot-long LED light bars, plus three connecting cables. You can either plug the bars into each other to create a longer strip, or use the cables to snake around corners and extend your setup. Once it’s all installed, just use the touch-sensitive power button to turn them on and adjust the brightness, and enjoy a well-lit countertop while you prepare dinner.
Philips Hue lights and Amazon Echoes go together like whiskey and hunting, and now, you can get a two-bulb color starter kit with an Amazon Echo Dot for $90.
Full-color bulbs usually sell for $50 each, and even on sale rarely dip below $40, so if you need a hub and smart assistant, this is a great deal. Just be warned, once you buy these, you’re going to want to buy a lot more of them.
You don’t want to take chances with fleas, believe me. If you use Capstar or Cheristin flea medicine for your furry friend, Chewy wants you to stock up today for 20% off. Just add any of these medicines to your cart, and you’ll see the discount at checkout. Limit five per customer.
Kershaw’s PT-1 is a keychain tool with three separate functions: a pry bar, a flathead screwdriver, and (what you’ll use it for 99% of the time) a bottle opener. I’d also add a fourth though: packing tape breaker. It’s not a blade, so it won’t slice open a package, but it’d be useful for getting them started so you can claw them open with your fingers. Just $5, a steal.
There’s an old joke that NASA spent millions developing a pen that could write in space, and the Russians used a pencil. Whatever, it was totally worth it. Amazon’s selling the official Fisher space pen for just $10 right now, so you too can write in zero gravity, in sub-zero temperatures, or even under water.
Whenever I walk into an Anthropologie, I realize that my apartment is all wrong because it is not completely filled with all the cool, rustic, yet somehow also glamorous furnishings that the store has to offer. But if there were ever a day to makeover your house — and by extension, your life — it would be today, because Anthropologie is taking 25% off all home items.
You could do something as big as purchasing a new sofa, as medium as upgrading your floor with a new rug, or as subtle as replacing your knobs with new, cool hardware. But whatever you do, don’t miss this deal; speaking from experience here, I have an Anthropologie duvet cover, and I love it more than some of my blood relatives.
Microfiber hair towels are responsible for completely transforming my hair into a shinier, less frizzy version of itself, and today, my favorite brand of microfiber hair towel is a few bucks off. Aquis’s Original Hair Turban in pink is just $17, compared to the usual $21 price tag. Hair turbans have the added bonus of allowing you to wring out your hair hands-free, so you can go about the rest of your post-shower routine more easily. If you’re not concerned about messing with your curl pattern, it’s deal you’ll want to soak up before it dries out.
If you have plans to spend time outside during the forthcoming warmer seasons, consider also spending that time submerged in your very own inflatable hot tub. This Coleman Saluspa Tahiti Airjet Hot Tub Spa is on sale for $297, nearly $100 off its usual price. It can comfortably seat four and warms up to a scalding 104 degrees, not to mention it’s equipped with 81 air jets and a built-in LED lighting system. Or, you could just fill the hot tub with all the money you’ll save by shopping this deal. Your call.
Everyone needs pens, and let me tell you, Amazon’s got pens. Today only, Amazon’s discounting a ton of different styles of pens, markers and highlighters from BIC, as part of a Gold Box deal. Have a favorite type? Let us know in the comments.
Today’s Best Lifestyle Deals
Benefit knows brows, and today, you can snag one of the brand’s Precisely, My Brow Pencil Ultra Fine Shape & Define for half off its regular price at Sephora. Choose from 12 shades to find your perfect match, and get ready to fill ’em in and comb ’em out with the brush on the reverse side— really, using a brow pencil makes a subtle, albeit significant difference to your overall look, if you haven’t tried one yet. This sale is one day only, though, so don’t beat around the bush.
Today’s Best Gaming Deals
RGB lighting has been shown to improve aim, reflexes and performance in clutch moments*. And if you care anything about your gaming rig, you’d buy this Amazon Basics gaming mousepad. Look, it glows, it helps your mouse glide better, it glows, it doesn’t need software, and... did I mention it glows?
It’s currently at its lowest price ever.

Deals You May Have Missed
If you’ve been holding out for a deal on the cellular-equipped Apple Watch Series 4, Amazon’s dialed up a $35 discount on the 44mm Space Gray and Gold options today. These discounts come in the form of a clippable coupon, so just note that you won’t see the final $480 price tag at checkout.
These are the best deals we’ve seen on the cellular options, but if you’re okay with the GPS-only models, those are still on sale for $50 off at Walmart as refurbs.
If you’ve been meaning to finally mount your TV to the wall, it’s a cheaper endeavor than you might expect. This mount from Perlesmith is only $35 today after you use promo code CU7PQPWS, and allows you to tilt, swivel, and extend TVs up to 70" and 132 pounds however you’d like. You also get an HDMI cable, a bubble level, and some cable ties, because why not?
We loved Anker’s PowerCore Redux 10,000mAh battery pack for its incredibly small and hand-friendly design, and now, it comes in two larger capacities as well, both of which are on sale this week.
The new 15,000mAh version is down to $34 from its regular $41, and the 20,000mAh is marked down to $42 from $50. Both feature the same basic design of the original Redux, but larger, and with a second USB charging port added. They also include Anker’s unique trickle charging mode, which can supply power to low voltage devices like Bluetooth headphones that might not normally draw enough power to keep a USB battery pack “awake.”
Packing cubes are awesome for helping you pack and fit more stuff into a suitcase, but once you arrive at your hotel and unpack your clothes, they’re basically useless as anything except dirty laundry holders. Revelar’s new Cubepacks aim to change that.
Cubepacks work like regular packing cubes, but with hidden strap that transform them into useful daypacks that you can carry around with you during your trip. The large cube turns into a full backpack, the medium one becomes a shoulder sling, and the small one works as a fanny pack, meaning you can get use out of the entire set for the duration of your trip.
When you think about it, this solves a real problem. When I travel, I usually bring a carry-on and a messenger bag or backpack. But that personal item is filled to the brim with my electronics, magazines, and other gear that I want to use on the plane. If I just want to use it as a lightweight daypack, I basically have to empty everything out in the hotel room, and repack it when I’m ready to leave. Packing cubes, on the other hand, get unpacked in my hotel room regardless, so the simple addition of straps (as well as useful features like side pockets and magnetic top flaps) make them much more useful, with no additional work on my part.
Cubepacks are already fully funded on Kickstarter, and you can preorder now at a discounted rate, with estimated delivery in September.
Buffy comforters are a boon for people who run hot, but also like to be tucked under a cozy, fluffy blanket at night. Made from super soft eucalyptus fibers and filled with BPA-free recycled plastic water bottles, the brand’s Cloud Comforter is breathable yet soft, plus it’s anti-microbial, cruelty-free, water-conservational, and machine-washable. And now, you can try one of your own for $15 less than usual using promo code KINJA15.
Because Buffy knows buying a comforter sight unseen is unsettling to say the least, they offer a 30-night commitment-free trial. That means that you won’t actually be charged for your purchase until the 30 days are up. But rest assured, once you are charged, the $15 discount will be applied accordingly.
If you’ve been putting off replacing your tires for far too long, Discount Tire Direct’s eBay storefront is offering $50 off when you spend $400 and use promo code PUMPEDUP. That’s valid on both wheels and tires, and you can even browse this page to find options with stackable manufacturer rebates.
We’ve seen deals of up to $100 back on Discount Tire Direct’s own site on occasion, but those are always in the form of a Visa gift card via a rebate. This deal, on the other hand, is a straight discount taken at checkout, which should be less of a hassle.
Update: Sorry about that, Amazon and Walmart aren’t listed as participating retailers this time around (though they’ve worked in the past). Home Depot is, however.
If your car takes synthetic oil, and you like to change it yourself, you’d be hard-pressed to find a better deal than this. For a limited time, if you buy five quarts of Mobil 1 and a filter, you can submit your receipt online for a $17 rebate, which should bring your total cost down to the $17-$18 range. Or, skip the filter and get $12 back just on the oil. $10 and $7 rebates are available for Mobil Super Synthetic and Mobil Super oil as well, respectively.
Walmart tends to have good prices on Mobil 1, but you can also find a lot of different weights on Amazon as well. Just don’t forget to submit that rebate.
If your dog deserves two bags of dog treats (he does, obviously), then you might as well get a third bag for free from this limited time Chewy sale. Just pick any three dog treats from this page, and the cheapest of the three will become free at checkout. Who’s a good deal? Who’s a good deal? This is!
Dry winter air is seems to be sticking around, but you can fight back with this highly rated Levoit humidifier, on sale for $68 when you clip the 5% off coupon, today only.
The humidifier’s 6L tank can run for up to 36 hours before refilling, depending on the humidity level you desire, an an easy-to-read display lets you know how humid your surroundings already are. It even has both warm and cool mist modes; warm for faster humidifying in the winter, and cool for use in air conditioned rooms during the summer. Get yours now, before this special pricing runs dry.
For the first time ever, Nordstrom Rack has debuted flash sales dedicated entirely to casual-cool brand Madewell’s clothes, handbags, and shoes. How do I know it’s the first time ever? Because I’ve been patiently checking Nordstrom Rack’s site every day, praying this moment would arrive. My wardrobe is so filled with Madewell apparel that I am essentially a walking Madewell advertisement when I get dressed every day (but this is not an ad, I just really, really love Madewell), so trust me when I say that now’s your chance to buy scores of quality, stylish stuff that’s more than half-off its usual price.
A few of my favorite things on sale? A mockneck sweater I’ve been wearing all winter long, this lighter transitional spring sweater, this pleated scoop-neck top that I own in two colors (no shame), a crowd-favorite, zip-top tote in a smart cabernet color, plus a lot of great jeans and tees. Please, for the love of God, hurry over to this sale; the best items are already selling out.
Those with color-treated hair swear by Olaplex’s strand-strengthening powers. If you, too, are looking to reduce breakage and restore your hair’s healthy appearance stock up on Olaplex No. 3 Hair Perfector, now on sale for $21 at Walmart. It’s not a conditioner — it’s an at-home, 10-minute hair treatment meant to be used one to three times per week on damaged hair, so stock up on this cult-favorite product while it’s on sale.
Breakouts happen, so be prepared next time a zit hits. Murad is taking 20% off all acne control and pore rescue products to help clear things up quickly. Use promo code CLEARSKIN to pick up all the essentials, including the cult-favorite Rapid Relief Acne Spot Treatment and plenty of other cleansers, toners, moisturizers, and even body acne fighters. Clearly, this is a sale your skin will thank you for shopping.
Hindsight is 20/20. For instance, resurrecting hordes of dinosaurs to populate a theme park is probably not a great idea. Now, don’t you make a big mistake by passing up this roaring deal on the first four films that comprise the Jurassic Park Collection. Relive the movie magic of Jeff Goldblum’s glistening abs and the most terrifying scene involving Jell-O in Hollywood history, not to mention one of the newer film iteration featuring Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard running for her life in high heels. Oh, and also a lot of human-devouring dinosaurs. Be sure to take a bite out of the action before this deal goes extinct.
In case you missed the news, the SEGA Genesis Mini arrives on September 19 with the same six button controller (my bad, the U.S. version only gets the three button version), 40 games, and a save state function. We still don’t have the full list of games for the U.S. version, but the initial announcements are more than promising:
- Altered Beast
- Castlevania: Bloodlines
- Comix Zone
- Dr. Robotnik’s Mean Bean Machine
- Ecco the Dolphin
- Gunstar Heroes
- Shining Force
- Sonic The Hedgehog
- Space Harrier II
- ToeJam & Earl
The console just went up for preorder at Walmart for $80, with two bundled controllers. We don’t yet know if it will be difficult to find like Nintendo’s consoles, or a flop like Sony’s PlayStation Classic, but if you want to be sure to get yours when it comes out, I’d order now.
Update: Now available on Amazon too.
The Switch Pro controller isn’t just one of the best ways to control your Nintendo Switch, it might be one of the best gamepads ever made, period. If you have a Switch and still haven’t picked one up, $57 is about $12 less than usual.
If you’re thinking “but I have a pair of Joy-Con and the grip thing; what do I need this for,” know that I felt the same way for a long time. But when I finally caved and bought a Pro controller for a Super Smash get-together a few months ago, there was no turning back. It’s so much more comfortable to hold, and the buttons are so much bigger and nicer to press. I’m angry that I waited so long.
You know Sphero’s rolling BB-8 droid toy? It’s based on their original app-controlled robot ball, which is a little less charming, but also way cheaper at just $40, in every color. Just connect your phone, and you can control the ball with an onscreen joystick, your phone’s accelerometer, or even, uh, your facial expressions.
With Xbox Game Pass, Microsoft basically created the Netflix of video games, and it’s a great deal at its usual $10 per month. But right now, if you buy three months of the service for $30, you’ll get an additional three months for free. That’s six months of access to which grants you access to over 100 games like Sea of Thieves, Crackdown 3, Marvel v. Capcom Infinite, and all of the Gear of War games. The best part of this deal? It’ll also work if you’re an existing member.
Note: Just make sure you still see this promotional offer on the Amazon page before you buy:
The Super Mario Encyclopedia is out today, and it’s the ultimate gift for the Nintendo fan in your life. The Limited Edition comes inside a ? block, and has either a mushroom, a 1-up, a fire flower, or a super star printed on the cover. You don’t get to choose, but that’s part of the fun.
The 256 page encyclopedia includes content from all 17 Super Mario games, and includes behind the scenes interviews, power-up locations, and even explanations of the games’ most famous glitches. Today’s price is the lowest Amazon’s ever listed, so you can save your coins for ore 1-Ups.
Samsung’s 128GB and 256GB microSD cards are our picks for the Nintendo Switch, and with U3 write speeds, they’d be ideal for 4K action cams too. If you could use the extra space, the former is down to $20 today, and the latter is priced at $40, both matching all-time low prices.
Joe’s New Balance Outlet is running a deal on the ultra lightweight Men’s and Women’s Fresh Foam Sport style that will speak to your soles. Right now, use promo code KINJADEALS to snag a pair in one of 12 color combinations for just $40 — that’s $10 less than what they’re currently going for on site. You’ll want to move fast, though; this sale will cross the finish line on Wednesday.
Not that you needed an extra incentive to swath your feet in the sweet cozy Australian softness, but today, when you spend $75 or more on Uggs at Zappos, the site will reward you with a $25 coupon code to use on a future purchase. The promotion is part of a special Zappos Spring Event, but considering we’d buy Uggs even when they’re not on sale, this is an Uggs-tremely Ugg-mazing offer. There are tons of sandals — yes, Ugg makes sandal — for men and women that you’ll be glad you have as the weather turns warmer. And yes, it’s totally acceptable to put the $25 coupon toward more Uggs at Zappos.
AG is known for making high-quality designer denim, and today, you can pick up a few pairs of jeans for highly reasonable prices. Men’s and women’s AG flash events at Nordstrom Rack are offering up plenty of pants, and even some shirts, for 60% and 65% off, respectively. So stock up on spring denim before your favorite styles sell out.
Winter equals dry skin for me and many others, and your only defensive against flaking and scaliness is to moisturize x1000. This CervaVe Moisturizing Cream is a gentle, non-comedogenic go-to, and right now it’s just $12 if you clip the coupon on Amazon. The lotion contains ceramides to restore your skin’s protective barrier and hyaluronic acid to help your skin better retain moisture, plus it has a National Eczema Association Seal of Acceptance. You may want to consider going the Subscribe & Save route; you’ll save an extra 50 cents or so, and you’ll always be prepared for a dry skin emergency.
You might not have an immediate need to order flowers, but take a quick glance at your calendar, and you’ll find plenty. Birthdays. Graduations. Mother’s Day. Surgeries, even!
So rather than scrambling for flowers at the last minute like you always do, order them today at The Bouqs during their Double the Bouqs sale, and schedule them to be delivered whenever you’d like, even months in advance.

At $60, Anker’s new Roav Jump Starter Pro isn’t the cheapest car jump starter we’ve seen, but its 800A of peak output mean it can start pretty much any engine, up to 6L for a gas vehicle, or 3L for diesel. If you don’t buy own of these, you’ll probably be kicking yourself somewhere down the road (pun intended) when you’re stranded in your driveway with somewhere to be.
This being an Anker product, you’ll also find two high speed USB charging ports, plus a flashlight that doubles as an SOS strobe. There’s also a compass, because why not? Even if you already own a jump starter, these make amazing gifts. Believe me, your giftee will remember you the first time they’re able to start their car in the morning to get to work on time.
Coffee snobs aficionados will tell you that you can’t make great coffee if you aren’t grinding the beans yourself, and they’re not totally off base. The quicker you go from whole beans to liquid coffee, the fresher it will taste. But nearly as important is the consistency of the grind; you really want each piece of ground coffee to be roughly the same size.
That’s where the Baratza Virtuoso comes in. Long revered in coffee circles for offering one of the most consistent grinds out there, you can score a rare deal on it from Crate & Barrel today. It’s still an investment at $189, but if it breaks your coffee shop habit, it’ll pay for itself.
You might remember hearing about Tide’s Eco-Box a few months ago. Rather than a plastic bottle of detergent that’s put inside a box and shipped to your house, it actually is the box. Compared to a traditional detergent bottle, it’s made with 60% less plastic and 30% less water, and honestly, it seems like an unambiguous step forward in eco-friendly packaging, one that we’ll probably be seeing more of in the future.
If you’re curious to check it out yourself, Amazon’s offering a $2 coupon, bringing the 96 load container down to $17 when you combine the deal with Subscribe & Save. Just remember to cancel after your first delivery if you don’t want to keep receiving it.
This tiny, $6 USB charger isn’t much bigger than the one that ships with every iPhone, except it has two ports, folding prongs, and 2.4A of total power, compared to the 1A Apple gives you. No surprise, it’s one of our top sellers of all time. Just use promo code X9VO4ZMI to get the deal.
Typically selling for $14, you can grab yourself a two-pack of Amazon’s best-selling silicone baking mats for $8.
If you haven’t used one before, you should now that nothing will stick to these. They’re made of silicone, flexible, and fit onto standard-sized baking sheets, making clean up a breeze. Plus, since you won’t be baking nonstick spray into your cookie sheets, they’ll look like new for longer.
In addition to being bestsellers, these mats boast a near-perfect 4.7-star rating with over 3,500 reviews.
About a year ago, we covered the BauBax 2.0, which combined over 25 features into what we called the multitool of jackets. Now, you can get the same Swiss Army Knife-level of utility from the company’s upcoming pants.
The BauBax travel pants are available as both chinos and joggers (fourth pants!) for men, and leggings and joggers for women, but they all share the same basic characteristics. Most notably, they’re constructed from absorbent bamboo viscose on the inside, and moisture wicking merino on the outside, which combine to efficiently get sweat away from your skin.
They’re also lightweight, water resistant, stretchy, SPF 50, fast-drying, and as you’d expect from BauBax, include a few zippered pockets to protect your valuables while you travel. They’re not as packed with bells and whistles as the company’s jackets, but they seem like a great addition to anyone’s wardrobe. The company’s already raised a staggering $750,000 on Kickstarter with over a month to go, and you can get your preorder in starting at $108.
Update: Humble just added Minit to this month’s early unlock games. It’s like Zelda, but you die every 60 seconds. It’s great!
It’s March, which means a new batch of awesome Humble Monthly games just dropped. This month’s early access games include Northguard, Mutant Year Zero: Road to Ede and Absolver: Downfall. And as always, more games will unlock every Friday until the end of the month.
If you’re not familiar, Humble Monthly is a $12 per month subscription service and releases a cache of PC games each month, plus 10% off in the Humble Store, and extra benefits on certain Humble Bundles. The best part? Even if you cancel your membership, every game you add to your Steam library is yours to keep.
Here’s your no-brainer deal of the day. If you visit this page and enter your email, Grove Collaborative will give you $30 worth of Grove and Mrs. Meyer’s products for free when you spend $20 on anything else on the site. I was also given a free glass spray bottle and concentrated cleaner, for seemingly no reason at all.
After you enter your email, you’ll automatically be taken to a cart with $20+ of items already added, but you can delete those and replace them with anything you’d like. Grove’s well stocked with laundry supplies, cleaning gear, pet products, personal care, and even baby items...you know, stuff that you have to buy anyway. So you might as well get a bunch of Mrs. Meyer’s stuff for free.
Note: The offer will also give you 60 days of Grove’s VIP free shipping membership for free, which will auto-renew at a rate of $20 per year, but you can cancel the auto-renew immediately after ordering.

Our readers’ favorite VPN recently raised prices for the first time ever, but our readers can still get a great deal on the service by committing for three years.
Three year plans aren’t available to the general public at all, but if you click this link, you can get three years for $99, which works out to just $2.75 per month. That’s only $9 more than it was cost to the price hike, and while shorter plan lengths are available, none come close to the per-month pricing of this three-year membership. For example, the publicly available two-year plan costs about $84, and a month-to-month plan will set you back $10 per month.
