Grab these steals while they're on sale for as low as they get... (Amazon)(Amazon)
When you track deals for a living (a la moi), you know that not all sales are created equal. In fact, some "discounts" aren't even discounts at all; rather, starting prices are inflated to make unsuspecting shoppers think they're getting a bargain. Sneaky, right? That's why I, and my fellow Yahoo teammates, are constantly keeping an eye on price histories to ensure we're only sharing the most legit deals of the bunch with you, our dear readers. With that in mind, I've been browsing the Amazon Big Spring Sale to find the best markdowns so you don't have to.
To my surprise, I spied items from many big brands — Apple, Yeti and iRobot, to name a few — marked down to their lowest prices ever, and it's not even Prime Day. That means they're unlikely to dip lower anytime soon, if ever, so you'd be wise to scoop 'em up before this seasonal savings event wraps up on March 31.
AirPods, Ina Garten's favorite knives and a Roomba vacuum-mop combo are just a few of my heavily marked-down picks, so rev up that cart and get shopping!
The latest smartwatch from the Cupertino company features a larger display while somehow being thinner and lighter, advanced health and fitness features and a faster-charging battery.
Said one five-star reviewer, "The battery life is phenomenal, I can literally go 2 days without charging. When I do have to charge it, it’s full in about 30 [minutes]."
These are among Apple's most recent releases (launched in September 2024) and are also some of the most affordable AirPods you'll find. At under $120, these earbuds boast personalized audio settings, are sweat- and water-resistant and last up to 30 hours on a single charge. Did we mention they're just $1 shy of their all-time low price?
"I decided to upgrade from my AirPods 2 and I'm impressed!" one fan wrote. "Sound quality is great! Wow! They don't feel like they're going to fall out of my ears and [are] very comfortable."
If you've had one of these bad boys on your wishlist for a while, I'd urge you to scoop up this deal while you can. Why? Well, the limited-time discount brings this top-selling model down to an all-time low. Roomba and robovacs are pretty much synonymous at this point, and the fact that this one doubles as a mop makes the 43% markdown even sweeter.
You can't go wrong with a classic button-down — it's a timeless, versatile staple that belongs in every wardrobe. Wear it over a tank top on cooler summer nights, or layer it under a sweater once the temps drop. This one's made of 100% cotton and on sale for the best price I've seen.
A queen mattress for under $200? No, you're not dreaming! But this isn't just any mattress. It's topped with gel memory foam to help banish those pesky night sweats — and speaking of sweating, green tea and purified charcoal infusions keep things nice and fresh. The medium-firm feel strikes just the right balance between comfortable and supportive, and at an insane $148, this is as low as it's ever been.
Sipping lukewarm coffee is arguably worse than a morning with no coffee at all, which might explain why these vacuum-insulated espresso cups have a 4.9-star average rating. Reviewers say they keep java nice and hot, plus they're dishwasher safe, highly durable (bring 'em camping) and stackable to save space.
This pretty lilac pair is down to its lowest price of all time, as is this chic dark red.
I swear by instant-read kitchen thermometers for consistency, and this high-tech gizmo will take all the guesswork out of grilling, roasting and baking by letting you know the internal and external temperatures of the foods you're preparing. One Yahoo writer and her husband tried it out, saying they've "never grilled better meat — it almost feels like cheating." (Check out her full Meater review for more.)
Grilling season is starting up again, so if you know someone who could use a foolproof method for ensuring their famous ribs are perfectly cooked? Look no further. This is the best price I've seen since, well, ever, and when expensive steaks are on the line? You want to ensure they're edible, or else that's just money down the drain.
Is it weird to have a crush on a piece of cookware? Asking for me, because this sleek stainless steel beauty is really close to winning a permanent spot on my stovetop. I have the popular Always Pan 2.0 (also on sale), but this one's ultra-durable (it's oven-safe up to 1,000° F).
Like all of Our Place's cookware, this nonstick pan is made without "forever chemicals" for peace of mind. This skillet, however, also boasts an aluminum core for excellent heat conductivity, as well as a strong titanium interior. The handle doubles as a resting spot for an included wooden spatula, and at just 3.4 pounds, it's quite light compared to other metal cookware. At nearly 40% off, this is as low as I've ever seen it.
Picnic season will be here before we know it, and if you've been eyeing Yeti coolers, this one's down to its best price ever. According to the brand, it can hold 18 cans with a 2:1 ice-to-can ratio, or 24 pounds of ice. Plus, it's tall enough to fit wine and soda bottles but slim enough that it won't take up too much space.
Of course, for a truly hands-off experience, you'll want a self-cleaning robovac, and this highly rated appliance does just that. It can run up to a whopping 240 minutes per charge and its large dustbin can hold about seven weeks' worth of debris before needing to be emptied; not to mention, its 5,500Pa suction is seriously strong.
At nearly 60% off (a record low), this is one of the best markdowns on this list.
A two-in-one vacuum and mop that's cordless and can clean up to 2,500 square feet per charge? No wonder this model's been purchased more than 5,000 times in the past month alone. Its smart sensor automatically adjusts suction and water flow depending on the type of mess it comes across, and the self-cleaning brush roll keeps you from having to touch hair, dust and all things icky.
My price trackers tell me it's marked down to a rare all-time low, so better scoop it up, stat.
