Tech gear and home goods and clothes, oh my! And for stellar prices to boot. (Amazon/Target)(Amazon/Target)
Even those of us who love our jobs sometimes need a little pick-me-up to get through the end of the week. The weekend's so close, yet so far! You know what always works for me? A little retail therapy. Sure, as a commerce writer, I might be biased, but I'm not talking about any old shopping. I'm talking about deals shopping, because few things can turn a frown upside down like saving money. That's why I've been on the lookout for fabulous on-sale finds, and, reader, there are some really good ones today. From one Yahoo editor's favorite warm-weather dress (marked down to $15!) to Apple AirPods for a record-low price, these are my top picks.
If you don't like that feeling of having something wedged in your ear and don't need active noise cancellation, these 'buds are the way to go. How are they different from the previous generation? The shorter stem gives them a cleaner look, and the new quick-press controls mean no more fumbling to pause your tunes or take a call. Plus, they fit better and stay put, so you won't have to keep adjusting them while you're at the gym or running to catch the train. And now, they're at an all-time low price.
Speaking of Kyle Richards, the Bravolebrity gives this pack two thumbs (toes?) up. "These are great, these no-show socks. They come in a package of six!" she says during an Amazon Live. She admits that when her "socks are showing," her friends make fun of her look — "[It's] a dorky vibe," she laughs. "The aesthetic is not good, guys, if you’re wearing a sock with your workout shoes … They shouldn't show!"
Sporting 1.7-inch-thick soles, these pillowy platforms act like heavenly landing pads for your feet with every step. Lots of reviewers with painful conditions like plantar fasciitis say these slides give them the comfort they need, and while they make stellar house shoes, you can also wear 'em out and about.
Flip-flops can be painful for people with toe sensitivity, and these snug, single-strap sandals are a great alternative if you want to let your feet breathe. Gotta show off that pedicure! At more than 40% off, these No. 1 bestsellers are down to their lowest price yet.
This multiuse hair tool works like the Dyson Airwrap — only at a fraction of the cost.
It comes with three brush heads and a blow-dryer attachment to suit all hair types, whether you want to smooth and straighten or add curl and waves. Now you'll be able to give yourself a professional-level blowout while saving over 70%.
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.
While I'd typically urge you to steer clear of sharks, this is one I'd recommend getting up close and personal with. Its super-strong suction targets pet hair and other debris hiding within the depths of your carpets, and it can run for up to 40 minutes before needing a recharge. Need to dust off furniture, countertops or the inside of your car? Just pop out the built-in handvac. You'll save over 40% with this deal — it's close to as low as it's been since October.
Brooklinen isn't exactly known for its low prices, but when the brand has a sale, it's a SALE. Commerce Editor Saundra Latham recently snagged this chic striped number, which is currently almost 50% off. "Brooklinen's bedding is normally a little too rich for my blood, but I scored this duvet cover on final sale and it might be my new favorite," she says. "It's hard for me to resist a subtle stripe, but more than that, I adore how this crisp cotton percale feels on warmer evenings. It's soft without that vaguely icky slippery feeling that some bedding has, and the tight weave is doing an admirable job standing up to cat claws that just don't get trimmed often enough."
Gordon Ramsay, a HexClad partner, says this pan "cooks to absolute, utter perfection" — and it's not often on sale. The hybrid design marries strong stainless steel with nonstick properties for a cooking surface that can achieve a good sear while being easy to clean, and the signature hexagonal etching encourages browning.
This skillet features aluminum sandwiched between stainless steel for expert heat conduction and distribution, and it hasn't dipped lower than its current price since Prime Day.
This sleek set caught my eye with its modern look; its minimalist appearance suits many outdoor aesthetics, it and would instantly elevate the appearance of a patio or deck. Made of sturdy iron, it was designed with longevity in mind and the breathable fabric encourages airflow to prevent things from getting too sticky.
Included are two chairs, a loveseat and a coffee table, making it ideal for hosting a small group or enjoying your breakfast alfresco. At nearly 45% off, this set is down to its best price since Black Friday and the holidays. Patio furniture is often marked down during the off-season, so finding an option with as many five-star ratings as this one at such a great price is a true rarity.
If you've got some last-minute Mother's Day shopping to do, you can't go wrong with what is arguably one of the most sought-after gifts out there. This popular frame can be set up in mere minutes via WiFi, and you'll be able to send it photos and messages right from your phone.
