It's time to start thinking inside the box ... as in, what you'd like to see inside your next Amazon box. (Getty Images)(Getty Images)
I'll be honest with you — the middle of summer is pretty quiet on the deals front. Prime Day has passed, and the next big savings event won't be here until Labor Day weekend. It makes sense; most people are hitting the beach, vacationing abroad or just trying to keep the kids entertained while they're out of school. But the fact that you're here, reading this, tells me you're a savvy shopper who knows that sneaky markdowns can pop up unexpectedly — and this week's best Amazon deals are proof.
For instance, AirPods have gone up in price since Prime Day, but they're still a fab deal at $99 ($30 less than you'll pay at Apple). And the popular Waterpik Cordless Pulse is even less than it was during Prime Day, hitting a new all-time low of $35.
Come to think of it, now is actually an excellent time to grab a few diamonds in the rough, since the shopping frenzy has fizzled out. Let's see what else you can snag for a steal, shall we?
These K-beauty bestsellers have taken social media by storm thanks to their exfoliating properties. They contain ingredients like white willow bark, citric acid and botanical extracts to target enlarged pores, blackheads, whiteheads and excess oil, which promotes a smoother complexion with smaller-looking pores. They're currently down to their best price in months.
Tired of dealing with a menagerie of remotes every time you want to watch TV? Stop the insanity with this easy and intuitive top-seller (which happens to be the newest model) that can replace 'em all. You'll be able to effortlessly switch between the news, sports, live TV and your favorite streaming platforms for easy access to millions of shows and movies.
If you've been holding off on buying AirPods until there's a sale, consider this the time to pounce. At $89, this pair is down to its lowest price yet.
Now, they don't include active noise cancellation like these do, but if it's a high-quality, comfortable listening experience you're after, these earbuds more than deliver. With up to five hours of listening time per charge (and 30 hours of battery life via the charging case), you'll be able to enjoy music, podcasts, audiobooks and more with limited interruption.
(Psst: AirPods Pro 2 are also on rare sale.)
This updated version of the MacBook Air features the latest generation M4 chip, meaning you'll get a much more powerful computer with everything else you love about the Air, including its outstanding 18-hour battery life and gorgeous 13.6-inch screen.
Amazon shoppers love this maxi dress for its simplicity, style and versatility. Its flowy design will help it drape over your body without clinging. Pair it with some cute flats and a jean jacket and you're ready for an evening hangout, or wear it to the office with a blazer. For date night, doll it up with your favorite necklace, a pair of heels and a cardigan. It also has pockets — always a welcome addition.
"This maxi dress checks all of the boxes," a happy customer shared. "It is very figure-flattering, has pockets, not see-through, and it comes down to my feet (I'm 5-foot-8). This maxi fits all of my curves and I can wear it to church, work, date night and brunch."
Make fighting with your family members over power outlets a thing of the past, courtesy of this electrifying gadget. It's equipped with five AC outlets and four USB ports, enough for everyone to charge their iPads, iPhones, MacBooks (you get the picture) all at once. Oh, and it's so much sleeker than having a power strip on your floor — and you won't have to worry about tripping over it.
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).
When 87-year-old beauty Jane Fonda recommends a product, I pay attention: The actress recently revealed she uses this serum every night on a clean face: "It has a lot of antioxidants and good things to hydrate the skin."
The rich formula is paraben- and mineral oil-free, dermatologist-tested and suitable for all skin types. Plus, right now, it's locked in at the lowest price I've ever seen.
Bye-bye, soggy bath mats: Yahoo readers are adding this ultra-thick, impossibly soft rug to their carts in droves. It's made of highly absorbent, quick-drying chenille microfiber that'll soak up excess water from your feet in a jiffy, and its plush texture will feel like heaven after your shower. This 40% discount brings the price to just a dollar more than its all-time low.
I don't expect this sturdy hand vac to conk out anytime soon, but when it does, I'll be ordering another one right away.
Those floppy headrests you're sleeping on aren't doing your neck any favors, but you can snag this plush, supportive pair for over 75% off. They were designed to be comfy whether you're a stomach, back or side sleeper, and the cooling cover and moisture-wicking material help prevent things from getting sweaty if you run hot.
Ready to upgrade your blow-drying experience without shelling out for a pricey Dyson? Reviewers say this sleek styler is a comparable alternative for a fraction of the price. It quickly dries hair without harsh heat to leave you with silkier, stronger strands and comes with attachments for smoothing, styling and diffusing. Oh, and this price is its lowest yet.
Slicing and dicing just got way more fun, thanks to this colorful knife set from Cuisinart. You'll get an 8-inch chef knife, 8-inch slicing knife, 8-inch serrated bread knife, 7-inch santoku knife, 6.5-inch utility knife, 3.5-inch paring knife and protective sheaths for each. Since they're color-coded, you can designate one for meat, one for vegetables — no cross-contamination to see here.
It's pruning season! This small-but-mighty, No. 1 bestselling chain saw is powerful enough to take down tree branches, yet weighs under 2.5 pounds. It's also cordless. Overgrown shrubs, you've met your match.
Every kitchen needs a good pair of oven mitts, meaning those hole-filled ones in your drawer need to go. These top-sellers are heat-resistant up to 500°F, thanks to their silicone coating — and not only that, their ribbed design offers better grip than cloth mitts.
They're water-resistant to protect your hands from hot splatters and come in over 20 colors, though prices vary. (This blue pair is over 55% off, its lowest price ever!)
All-time-low price alert! Robovacs are great, but for a truly hands-off experience, you'll want a self-emptying model: This top-seller has a collection bin that can hold up to 30 days' worth of dust and debris. That means you could go as long as a month without having to clean it out, saving you even more time.
It's powerful enough to zap up everything from the kids' crumbs to Fido's fur, and its 360-degree LiDAR vision allows it to sense and move around any larger objects and furniture it comes across. The Matrix Clean feature encourages it to work in a grid pattern for more thorough coverage, and according to the brand, it'll run for up to two hours before needing a recharge.
"I found a tee that's anything but boring, and it's just as comfy as those well-worn styles you have folded in your drawer," shares Senior Style Writer Rebecca Carhart. "This adorable square neck design has charming ruffled trim and slightly puffed sleeves that give it a fun, trendy vibe. And the best part? They’re only $12 right now! I can’t wait to grab a few to mix and match for summer!"
You're saving 55% with this deal, bringing the price to an all-time low.
If you have Amazon Prime, you'll get free shipping, of course. Not yet a member? No problem. You can sign up for your free 30-day trial here. (And by the way, those without Prime still get free shipping on orders of $35 or more.)
