Up for a rather staggering historical tidbit? Several days ago, we marked the anniversary of the Alaska Purchase's conclusion. In 1867, we finally sealed the deal, putting what would turn out to be the largest of the 50 states under the U.S. flag. (How large? Alaska is bigger than Texas, Montana and California combined!) The purchase price? $7.2 million, which breaks down to roughly 2 cents per acre. Score!
That's a reminder that 1) sometimes it pays to think big and 2) you never know when the next memorable sale is going to come your way. Here's a hint — it's probably hiding in plain sight in Amazon's weekly sales blitz, some of whose deals rival Black Friday prices.

Seriously, this lineup is worth a look — Juneau we wouldn't lie to you!
Bissell CrossWave OmniForce Wet Dry Vacuum for $230 ($150 off, all-time lowest price)

No, it's not a massive discount, but this bestseller is within a dollar of its all-time low (and it's retailed for as much as $20 in the past).
Scuzzed-up bathroom? Grimy tiles? Never fear, the Khelfer is here.
Why keep tripping over bottles when these handy shower shelves exist? This top-selling set claims to hold up to 40 pounds (that's a lot of gel, shampoo, conditioner and emollients) and comes with five storage racks in different sizes for all your bathtime essentials. All you need to do is apply the included adhesive to stick 'em on the wall.
If you're looking for denim that's designed for all shapes and sizes, these affordable Amandas definitely fit the bill (pun intended). They're classic high-rises that sit at your natural waist and will go with just about anything.
These No. 1 bestsellers start at a wild $20, so grab a few pairs for fall and winter — they'd look fab with some stylish boots.
Going on a trip? You can stash your toiletries into a few plastic bags, but wouldn't it be nice to have it all organized in one reusable one? This bag has waterproof compartments for makeup, skin care, shower essentials and more, and you can unfold it and hang it from a hook in your hotel room so everything is organized and easy to reach.
"This bag is amazing! It holds so much, easily zips and I love the hanging hook," said one customer. "It was perfect for cruising and held all supplies for my family of three! The plastic zip pockets are also great in case there are spills."
You'll be so relieved you had this portable air compressor in the trunk when you realize one tire's looking a little floppy.

The Sperax Walking pad is Amazon's No. 1 bestselling compact treadmill. It's only 4.6 inches high and 48 inches long, so you can slide it under your sofa or bed when you're not using it. It's also only 40 pounds, which is light enough that you can probably pull it out on your own but just heavy enough to make you sweat a little while doing so.
Keep in mind, this is really meant for walking, not jogging or running. It only goes up to about 3.8 mph, and it doesn't have handlebars to hold on to. You choose the speed with the included remote control, while an LED display on the top of the tread shows your speed, distance, time and even calories burned in real time. Also great: It has an anti-slip belt and a strong damping system, so you won't make too much noise.
Note: The listed retail price seems to be a bit inflated here. According to our records, this treadmill regularly retails for around $300 (not $2,000!). Still, with the on-page coupon, that brings the walking pad to nearly half off.
The holidays are quickly approaching, and if you're set to host this year, you'd be wise to grab some matching flatware sets while they're as affordable as this one.
