For instance, you can save almost $250 on Apple's latest MacBook for back-to-school season. Upgrade your television to TCL's QLED smart TV while it's under $200, or your SPF to Jennifer Garner's go-to Neutrogena moisturizer, now just $14. And cook yourself a delicious meal with the Ninja Foodi Pro XL Grill, now at its lowest price ever. See, you can turn your day from "ugh" to "yay!" with just a few clicks. Take a look at these top deals and more for a quick serotonin boost.
Backyard grilling season may be over, but you can still get your char on from the comfort of your kitchen with the Ninja Foodi Smart XL Pro, now 40% off at Amazon. It has seven different cooking functions: grilling (obviously), air frying, broiling, baking, roasting, dehydrating and griddling. There are also four no-brainer smart protein settings: Just insert the Foodi Smart Thermometer (it’s included) and choose between nine customizable doneness levels.
One of Yahoo's shopping writers put this on her summer wishlist, and over 14,000 Amazon shoppers have given it a five-star rating.
"We bought this grill as a way to decrease use of oil and pan frying," explained one Amazon reviewer. "The smart temperature cooking mode is probably my favorite feature. It cooks all kinds of meats, but I've only cooked chicken and steak. The meat comes out perfectly cooked to temperature [and] retains moisture and flavor, with very little mess. The device is also super easy to clean!"
Apple's AirTag is one of the best trackers you can get as an iPhone user. Simply connect it to your phone and use it to keep track of what matters — luggage, a purse, an expensive bike, your pet. You can also activate Lost Mode, which makes it play a loud sound. Grab one while it's on sale for its lowest price ever, and toss it in your suitcase the next time you travel.
"I've been using AirTags for about nine months now and I can't tell you how many times these have saved me from looking around the house for my keys or wallet," said one Amazon shopper. "For someone who forgets things a lot, these are a true game changer!"
"Got this after my wife lost her keys for several days. Wish we'd done this years ago," shared another. "She doesn't like to use apps, but still found this very easy to use. It was super easy to set up. Kicking myself for not buying one of these years ago."
"Our son is headed to Europe in a few weeks so we opted to get him this AirTag in case he runs into any issues with his luggage," added another fan. "Set up for the AirTag is really easy. I had this AirTag paired to my phone within a couple minutes. Turn on the Bluetooth on your phone, open the Find My app, and then give your AirTag a name. After that, it shows up in the "items" section of the Find My app... As hectic as travel can be, these AirTags offer a little peace of mind."
This 20-ounce gadget looks like a mini slow cooker, but it's designed to warm up your food, not cook it. Inside the warmer is a metal bowl that holds your food. The lid on the inner bowl (along with the outer lid) minimizes spills and leaks, while the handle makes toting it a snap. There are no buttons — just a detachable cord that wraps around the base for easy storage. Plug it in about 45 minutes before you're ready to eat, and you'll have a hot meal when it's time for lunch.
"I am a teacher with only a 20-minute lunch period, and there are three microwaves in a building for 80 people," wrote an impressed educator. "I absolutely love that I can have hot soup right at my desk. I leave the warming part at work and just bring home the inner bowl and lid to wash every day."
This doesn't happen often: Apple's newest MacBook Air laptop just went on sale — and for its lowest price yet. For a limited time, you can snag it for nearly 25% off at Amazon. A few quick highlights: This model has a 13.6-inch liquid retina display screen and weighs only 2.7 pounds. Its powerful speed and performance come courtesy of Apple's latest M3 chip. The Air also boasts 8GB of unified memory, 256GB of storage and up to 18 hours of battery life. Plus, it's marked down in all four colors, so you can get one that suits your style. For a little more dough, you can upgrade the storage and RAM.
"I recently purchased the 2024 MacBook Air M3 (base model) and it has completely blown me away. For anyone wondering whether the base model is enough, let me assure you, it absolutely is," said one reviewer. "The M3 chip is incredibly powerful. I haven't experienced any lag, even with multiple demanding applications open. ... This laptop is unbelievably light. I can barely feel it in my bag, making it perfect for commuting or travel."
Another fan added: "The M3 chip significantly boosts speed and efficiency, making multitasking and running demanding applications a breeze. The backlit keyboard is comfortable to type on, and Touch ID provides quick and secure access to the laptop. The 1080p FaceTime HD camera is a great improvement, offering clear and crisp video quality for virtual meetings."
If you're gearing up for football season and don't want to miss a single play, it's time to splurge on a better TV. This 43-inch beauty from TCL is new for 2024, and it's over 50% off. It comes equipped with Google TV and offers exceptional motion clarity — ideal for sports lovers.
"The TV is easy to set up and install, very lightweight," shared one Walmart shopper. "The color and brightness are great, and it has three HDMI ports so I can hook up my laptops and PS5 all at once. The sound is also really decent, enough depth and base. Very satisfied overall!"
Watch out dirt! This top-selling upright Shark vacuum with over 56,000 five-star fans is down to just $170 from $220. The powerhouse swivels and swerves like an athlete, sucking up dirt, hair and dust (shout-out to the hardworking HEPA filter). Use the handheld nozzle to attack upholstery, stairs and curtains.
"Pet hair can't hide!" wrote one mega-fan. "I have 20-year-old carpeting so I need to vacuum ... a few times a week to keep it from looking gross. One pass from the new Shark and I was pleasantly horrified with the amount of hair and dander this vacuum extracted from my 'well-vacuumed' floors. I get satisfaction from what I call extreme vacuuming, and this machine's strong suction was exponentially more effective than my Bissell."
Jennifer Garner is loyal to Neutrogena, and one of her favorites is this moisturizer, which combines hyaluronic acid's moisture-boosting properties with SPF 50's protection to keep skin in tip-top shape.
"The fact that you can get your hyaluronic acid and your SPF 50 in one little bad boy — that's very good," she said in an interview with Prevention. She went on to share why she prizes the moisturizer's inclusion of SPF as well: "The sun is stronger than it used to be. Growing up, I thought if I had SPF 15 on that that was like 'Wow, you're really being careful.' That is now not strong enough. You really need more of an SPF."
Amazon shoppers say these are even more comfortable than their Birkenstocks, and they're on sale for as low as $28. The strappy sandals feature cushioned heel cups, ample arch support and a contoured cork footbed that helps keep your foot in place. They have a 1.25-inch platform to give you a boost, but shoppers say they're still easy to walk in. Also easy: The buckled straps are fully adjustable.
"They look just like Birkenstocks for a fraction of the price," raved one reviewer. "I've owned Birkenstocks in the past and I just can't justify buying a new pair every season, which I have to do due to the fact that my feet also run hot and inevitably stink up every shoe I own (lol). Just buy them; you won’t regret it!"
