Welcome to Opposite Month! Thanks to Halloween, October is rife with "black" imagery — black bats, black cats, black-caped vampires, black-haired witches — all of it spooky, scary, creepy. But what a difference a couple of days makes! It's now Black November, the happiest month of the year for shoppers. Retailers are looking to lure you in and move inventory out — that means coupons, rebates, 2-for-1s, and holiday-themed markdowns bringing prices to all-time lows ... and a big smile to our faces. Nothing scary about that!
To wit: This Apple iPad? Close to its all-time lowest price ($200). This Dyson space heater and fan? One of its lowest prices of the year ($171 off). This Lego Harry Potter Advent Calendar? Lowest price ever — $36 — and still in stock! Is your gob not sufficiently smacked? How about a charming Anne Klein jewelry ensemble for just $43 (down from $150!) or a plush pair of pillows marked down to just $25 (from $120)?
Need we point out that now would be a great time to sink your fangs into that year-end shopping list, to drive a stake through that white elephant challenge, to raise that Christmas spirit from the dead? Oh ... sorry. That was so "October" of us.

The dream is to fall asleep as soon as your head hits the pillow. A good pillow can make that possible, and thousands of five-star fans say Cozsinoor is the brand you want. If you sleep hot, this set will keep you comfortable, fans report. It's filled with a plush down alternative (100% polyester) encased in a soft, breathable sateen cover, and its moisture-wicking properties help keep you cool and dry while you snooze. Hot sleepers, these moisture-wicking headrests have your name on 'em!
"I am very picky about my pillows. These pillows are so comfy, not too soft and not too firm," wrote a fan. "They are well made and I stay cool sleeping on them."

The $120 clickable coupon brings the Sperax down to the lowest price we've seen at Amazon, where it's typically priced around $190. It can support up to 320 pounds and reaches up to 4 mph, making it a great option for taking a brisk walk while binge-watching or staying active while typing at your computer.
Of the three walking pads we're featuring, this has the highest user weight capacity. It also has two wheels on the bottom, making it a good choice if you're just getting started on a walking program for weight loss and would prefer a unit that's easier to move around or maneuver between sessions.
Shoppers rave about how quiet and stable it feels. Said one fan: "The pad is not too heavy to move around but also very sturdy once set. While the walking pad is on, it's not overly loud or ... awkward when on meetings."
If the Echo Dot feels like overkill, the Echo Pop is the more-subtle solution you've been waiting for.

You'd be hard-pressed to step outside and not find someone rocking these earbuds. They have so much going for them: They're among Apple's most affordable AirPods and boast over 30 hours of battery life on a single charge. They're also some of the newest 'Pods on the block (they were released this year), and at almost $40 off, we can't complain.
"I use them at work," one five-star reviewer wrote. "Battery lasts through the whole shift. Connects to my phone as soon as I open it."
Though it was released a couple of years ago, this MacBook Air is just as lightweight as its newer cousins and doesn't skimp on power thanks to its M2 chip. This is the lowest price this Mac has ever been and one of the best Prime Day deals we've seen this year.
"Eighteen hours of battery life is not just marketing. The speed of the M2 is snappy and can handle much more than I thought it would," raved one shopper. "The new screen is gorgeous. Trackpad is the best on the market bar none."
Here's a little tidbit for ya: If you're wondering why your dishwasher smells funky even though you run it on the regular, it's because simply doing a load of dishes isn't enough to deep-clean the machine itself.

This is as low as they've been since July, so grab a few packs — each box contains enough to last a year.
Henckels has been crafting knives for over a century, so the brand knows a thing or two about what makes a quality set. This bestselling set comes with just about every type of blade a home cook could need: a 3-inch paring knife, 5-inch serrated utility knife, 7-inch santoku knife, 8-inch chef's knife and 8-inch bread knife. Also included: six 4.5-inch steak knives, a professional honing steel, kitchen shears and a hardwood knife block. Whew!
This collection is majorly marked down from its list price of $345, though we've never actually seen it shoot that high. Still this deal beats the typical $150 we've seen it going for of late.
