Today’s Best Tech Deals

If you want to save money on one of Apple’s top-of-the-line MacBooks Pros, Amazon’s got one for about $200 off. This unit offers Intel Core i5 processor with 8GB of RAM and 128 of storage.

And yes, that’s a meager amount of storage but if you’re mostly on the Cloud, as most are nowadays, it shouldn’t be a big deal. Pair it with an external drive and you’ll be golden.

No matter what you’re looking to charge, there’s a gadget on sale for you in today’s Anker Gold Box deal on Amazon.

Wireless chargers? There are two fast ones on sale, and they both support 7.5W iPhone charging. Just note that the cheaper one doesn’t include the required Quick Charge wall adapter.

USB-C Power Delivery? This wall charger has an 18W port, and a 12W regular USB port for good measure.

Car chargers? There are four of them on sale, including one that adds Alexa to your car, a couple that that double as Bluetooth FM transmitters, and even one that can remember where you parked and change color to match your car’s interior lighting.

Of course, it wouldn’t be an Anker sale without a big-ass multi-port charging hub, or a couple of USB battery packs. We’re particular fans of the new PowerCore 10000 Lite.

And finally, none of these chargers will be of much use without cables to plug into them, so grab some discounted Lightning, microUSB, and USB-C cables from the deal.

Just remember that all of these deals are only available today, and the best stuff could sell out early.

While I’m sure the sound quality and noise cancellation abilities of these Mpow over-ear Bluetooth headphones don’t live up to the likes of Sony’s WH1000XM3s line or Bose’s QC35s, they annihilate the competition on price at just $40.

If you’re on a budget, and want to drown out airplane noise or your annoying coworkers, they could be worth trying out. Just be sure to use promo code MPOW143A at checkout to save $20.

Our readers have bought thousands of Aukey’s nylon braided right angle Lightning cables, and now, you can do the same for USB-C. Get a pair of these unique, 6.6' long cables for just $12 with promo code SHPC2KPG.

Note: These being USB A-to-C cables, they don’t support Power Delivery charging speeds.

Today’s Gold Box lowers the price on a number of internal and external Sabrent NVMe drives in a few sizes.

For those unfamiliar, NVMe SSD drives are smaller but offer comparable read and write speeds as their 2.5" equivalent. And as with all SSDs, you get more reliability and much faster speeds than with a traditional spinning drive. (Yeah, not even Optane works as well.)

Today’s Best Home Deals

Amazon sells its own coffee now, and it’s incredibly affordable when you clip the $3 coupon and use Subscribe & Save on 12 ounce bag 3-packs today. As in, under $5 per bag delivered (or under $4 in the case of the Donut Café blend, which I just ordered).

I’ve actually been the Colombia blend flavor for cold brew recently, and while I’m no coffee connoisseur, I’ve been impressed. At 12 ounces, they’re just about the right size for a full batch in the OXO cold brew coffee maker. It calls for 10 ounces, but I just add a little extra water and get more coffee out of it. There are five flavors to choose from, but just remember to cancel your subscription after your first one ships if you don’t want to keep receiving it.

Wi-Fi connected home security cameras have largely taken over the baby monitor market, but nobody would blame you for feeling anxious about streaming a live video feed of your baby to the cloud. If you’d prefer to keep things local, Anker’s new Eufy SpaceView is a great all-in-one solution for just $116 (down from the usual $160) with exclusive promo code USKINJAM.

The pan and tilt camera streams in 720p (most baby monitors are a paltry 240p) directly to the included LCD screen, over distances of up to 460', no Wi-Fi required. Somewhat ingeniously, Anker also included a detachable wide angle lens that expands the camera’s view up to 110°, so you can more easily keep an eye on your toddler when she starts to move around the room on her own.

Plastic straws are dumb. Paper straws are less dumb. Now, stainless steel straws are pretty terrific.

I’ve been using ‘em for months at home and at work, and I love them. (Before you ask, no, it doesn’t make my water taste like metal.) Using these straws have not only been a cheap way to help out the environment but they also make fun sounds when they clink around in my cup.

This set of eight (4 straight and 4 bent) comes with two cleaning brushes and is just $4.

It’s time to dig in to your next DIY with this deal on the powerful Silhouette Cameo 3 in slate grey. This craft room MVP can cut any material your next project requires with ease and precision, and the $185 bundle includes a blade, cutting mats, sketch pens, and even some vinyl to get you going — all for $15 less than the lowest price we’ve ever seen. So go ahead and let those creative juices flow.

Update: Sold out

Literally all your friends who keep gushing about the Instant Pot can’t be wrong. If you need a larger model for a bigger family, or care about aesthetics and a few extra features, the Instant Pot Ultra is back on sale for its best price ever, in two different sizes.

The 6 qt. model is down to $99, and the 8 qt. version will cost $20 more, both of which are all-time low prices. Compared to the standard Instant Pot Duo, the Ultra has a few extra cooking modes, but you’ll honestly never use them. The differences that matter are the UI—the information-rich blue screen tells you a lot more than the Duo’s—and the fact that the pressure valve automatically closes when you close the lid, so you don’t have to worry about forgetting that crucial step. If you care about aesthetics, I think the Ultra looks like something Cuisinart or KitchenAid might make, whereas the DUO looks like something you might find at a flea market.

The actual cooking results between the two models should be identical, the Ultra just has a few quality of life improvements that may or may not be worth paying a bit extra for. It’s up to you; the only bad decision is to not buy an Instant Pot.

Instead of one gigantic, hard-to-clean cutting board that you use for everything, you should own several small, dishwasher-safe cutting boards to cut down on cross contamination. Epicurean makes some of our readers’ favorite cutting boards, and their 6" x 8" model is down to just $9 as an add-on item today. That means it’ll only ship as part of a $25 order, but as I said, you should own a bunch, so just buy at least three.

Any burger lover worth their salt knows that grinding your own meat is absolutely essential if you want the best possible results, and if you already own a KitchenAid, you can add a grinder for just $25 today, $1 less than the deal we saw back in early February.

Want to control exactly how much fat is in your burger? Want to create beer and chorizo blends? Want to stuff your own sausages (with an extra adapter)? This is a no-brainer kitchen purchase.

Climb up this Little Giant 22' lightweight ladder for just $170 on Amazon today, a rare dip below $180. The triple-locking hinge bends to turns this into an A-frame ladder, stair ladder, or extension ladder, and then can fold back up for easy storage. Grab it today, and go get high.

Today’s Best Lifestyle Deals

Right now, Adidas is running a sale that’s sure to get your blood pumping. In celebration of spring’s impending arrival, the retailer is marking down select apparel and shoes — that’s over 2,800 items total — by 30% as part of its Spring Sale. So score a new pair of kicks or some brand new workout clothes for the season, since this sale’s only springing up for three more days.

Everyone needs a good pair of jeans, and if you need more than one pair — or a man, woman, or child in your life needs a pair, too — this deal is for you. Right now at Levi’s, take an extra 30% off sale items with code HURRY30, hence why it’s a good time to stock up. The promo applies to regular-priced and sale styles for men, women, and kids, so truly everyone can dive into some new, discounted denim.

Ultimate boho brand Free People’s effortlessly cool, vintage-y styles don’t come without some heavy lifting on the part of your wallet. But today, flower children should head over to Nordstrom Rack, where Free People clothing is marked way down. Move quickly, since free spirits will likely buy up this stock faster than you can say, Coachella weekend 1 passes with car camping included.

SilverSocks Crew Socks | Three Pairs for $49 | Indiegogo

Silversocks’ soon-to-be released crew socks are interlaced with actual silver yarn. As in the metal. Ag. Why? Because silver naturally sterilizes bacteria, which is what makes your sweaty feet smell. I’ve worn a pair to play tennis, and can 100% confirm that they smell way less offensive than my usual cotton socks. It doesn’t hurt that they look great too, and are really comfortable to wear.

The socks ship out next month, and you can preorder three pairs for $49 with our exclusive perk. That’s essentially three pairs for the price of two.

You smell that? Peanuts? Cracker jacks? Light collusion? Unwritten rules? Yep, baseball’s back, and Amazon’s celebrating spring training with over 100 deals on baseball and softball equipment for kids and large adult corporate beer league players alike.

Inside, you’ll find deals on mitts, bats, balls, apparel, and training gear for every type of player. I’m not saying buying this stuff will eventually lead to your kid being offered a contract by the Washington Nationals that’ll pay out until they’re in their 60s, but I’m not not saying that.

Today’s Best Gaming Deals

This $675 34.1-inch Alienware AW3418DW curved monster rocks a 21:9 aspect ratio, up to 120Hz refresh rate, 4ms response time, Nvidia G-Sync technology, and most importantly—RGB lighting.

The specs aren’t ideal for FPS titles, like Call of Duty or Overwatch, but for non-competitive gameplay, this is a good choice. RPGs and puzzle games would look awesome on it, FYI. Just make sure to use the promo code JOY4TECH at checkout.

HyperX makes a lot of terrific, reader favorite gaming accessories, and today, Amazon’s cutting the price on a bunch of them. Choose from headsets, keyboards, mice, and internal components, such as SSDs and RAM starting at $18, all of which are currently at their lowest price we’ve seen on Amazon.

While these are geared towards gamers, a lot of these accessories can improve your comfort and efficiency at work as well. Remember, though, since this is a Gold Box deal, these markdowns will disappear by the end of the day or when sold out.

The PlayStation Classic is missing a lot of critical games, but it seems like it’s going to be relatively straightforward to add some yourself. And even if you don’t bother hacking it, there’s still plenty worthwhile pre-loaded games to keep you entertained, even if there’s no Crash Bandicoot or Tomb Raider or Tony Hawk.

$100 is a lot to ask, but Walmart just discounted the PlayStation Classic to $40, easily the best price we’ve seen to date.

Deals You May Have Missed

Update: The 512GB model just got its first major discount as well, from $200 down to $130.

Samsung’s 128GB microSD card is one of our picks for the Nintendo Switch, and with U3 write speeds, it’d be ideal for 4K action cams too. If you could use the extra space, it’s down to $21 on Amazon today.

Rakuten’s running another of its popular sitewide sales this week, with 15% off all orders, with a $60 maximum discount with the promo code SAVE15. You can check out their promo page to scan all of the deals, but the beauty of this sale is you can “force” a sale on super new or rarely discounted products, like ASUS ROG monitors, Bose ANC headphones, and Nintendo Switch bundles.

Additionally, there’s 20% off on Sports and Fitness and Toys and Baby products with the codes SPORTS20 and TOYS20 respectively

This deal ends on Wednesday, but there’s a limited supply on super popular items. So act fast.

Yi makes our readers’ favorite budget action cams, and you can capture your next adventure for under $60 with today’s deal on the Yi Lite. Because you never know when you might go viral.

Compared to the original Yi Action Cam, the Yi Lite adds a 2" touchscreen, 4K/15FPS recording, and improved 2+ hour battery life. At $58 on sale, it’s a no-brainer upgrade for the screen alone, which helps you line up your shots, and also makes it much easier to change the camera’s settings.

You can’t just have one or two Qi charging pads. Once your phone supports wireless charging, you suddenly want them everywhere you might set down your phone. Cooking? Using the bathroom? Sitting on the couch? These are valuable charging opportunities, dammit!

This Qi pad from RAVPower supports 10W charging on compatible Android phones (if you provide a Quick Charge wall adapter), or 5W charging on iPhones, and it’s just $10 on Amazon today with promo code KINJAFWK.

Anker makes surge protectors now, which is...incredibly logical. Their newest, largest model is down to $27 today, or about $8 less than usual. The PowerPort Power Strip includes 12 AC outlets and (naturally) three USB ports, plus a flat, swiveling plug that fits nicely behind your furniture. Surge protectors actually wear out over time, so if you haven’t replaced yours in awhile, this is a good opportunity.

Just when you thought winter was finally subsiding, this <gestures at world> happens. But with this attractive and quiet space heater, you can keep a room warm and cozy for as long as it takes for spring to finally arrive. It’s already on sale for $73, but promo code KINJA20 brings it down to $53 at checkout (that code will take $20 off all colors).

The Newair Quietheat15S is rated for rooms up to 250 square feet, and operates at under 45 decibels, which is smack in between a library and a quiet suburb, according to this chart.

If excessive noise (or utter silence) makes it difficult for you to doze off, this feature-packed white noise machine might be the key to a better night’s sleep.

This LectroFan can pump out 10 white noise sounds and 10 fan sounds, all of which are generated dynamically, without any jarring looping. And this particular model can even run off an AC outlet or USB, so it’d be easy to take on a trip with you. Today’s $37 list price is already well below its usual $50, and a $10 coupon makes it the best deal we’ve ever seen.

For those who don’t need a gooseneck kettle for pourover coffee, and aren’t willing to spring for the ultimate tea maker, the Cuisinart PerfecTemp is one of the best (and best looking) electric kettles around. It’s down to $61 on Amazon right now, the best price we’ve ever seen. Just be sure to grab yours before this deal boils dry.

If you ever make tacos at home, do yourself a favor and pick up some of these metal taco holders for just $5 each. If you use them as shown in the picture above, they’ll hold two tacos, but flip them over and <audience gasps> they hold three tacos!

Unless you live in a very large house, Dyson’s V8 cordless vacuum is probably the only vacuum you need. While it lasts for Prime Day, you can get the Absolute model for just $350 from Amazon (also available at Walmart), the best price we’ve seen since Black Frida. The Absolute features the longest battery life in the V8 line, and comes with the most accessories. Trust us, it’s worth the splurge.

A good saucepan is pretty high up the list of things everyone needs in their kitchen, and this tri-ply, 2 qt. model from Cuisinart is on sale for $29 today, within a few cents of its best price ever. Its aluminum core extends all the way up the side walls, ensuring even heating throughout, and it’s also dishwasher and oven safe.

Springtime pros: Warmer weather. Sunshine. March Madness. Flowers. Game of Thrones.

Springtime cons: Fleas and ticks.

Chewy’s here to help with that one little hangup though, taking 20% off Frontline Plus (for indoor pets) and Frontline Gold (for outdoor pets), for a limited time. Frontline kills fleas, ticks, and their larvae with ruthless efficiency for up to a month per dose. Just note that these discounts are in addition to any discounts listed on the product pages, so you won’t see your final price until checkout.

Urban Decay is known for delivering ultra saturated shades with edgy names, and today, you can pick up a palette’s worth and then some for a steal. Nordstrom Rack is offering up a huge range of lipsticks, eyeshadows, primers, powders, and a lot of shadow palettes featuring a rainbow of bold hues and glittery textures, all for under $25. There are even a handful of offerings from their cult-favorite Naked line. Fill your makeup drawers now before this deal decays into nothingness.

Just in time for an influx of winter storms, Backcountry is marking down a selection of items meant specifically for snowy weather. Through today only, take an additional 20% off select ski and snow outerwear for men, women, and kids. There’s a range of heavy jackets, snow pants, and even a few full snow suits up for grabs, all of which will allow you to enjoy this weather, as opposed to hiding out from it inside.

Here’s a deal that can only be described as super: Right now, select men’s and women’s ski and snow apparel is 50% off at Superdry. The brand is well-known for their range of high-quality items, but the discounted jackets are especially worthwhile. Those, plus knowledge of all money you’re saving, will keep you feeling warm and cozy all winter long.

Patagonia’s standby pullover, the R1, is perfect for spring weather. Its grid of fleece squares is breathable, while still providing just enough insulation for 50-60 degree days. And if you combine it with a zip-up wind breaking shell, and it becomes a versatile layering piece.

Its interior grid is subtly visible on the microfiber face, creating a really unique look that you can dress up around town, or wear just wear out on a run or to walk the dog. Normally priced at $130, REI has several colors and sizes marked down to $90 right now, while supplies last.

The best buys are one of a kind, but customization understandably costs a fortune. Except for right now, because Timbuk2 is letting you design your own version of the brand’s practical-yet-stylish messenger bags, totes, and/or backpacks for 20% less than usual. Choose from a range of colors and materials to piece together your own personal Frankenstein of a bag, then use promo code CUSTOM to bring your masterpiece to life for a very reasonable price.

SOLE x UBB Jasper Wool Eco Chukka | $95 ($150 Retail) | Kickstarter

United By Blue is the maker of a few of our favorite things; we’re still mesmerized by their bison fiber-filled Sport Jacket, Albright Rain Shell, and Convertible Tote Pack. And now, there’s a new shoe in town from the eco-conscious brand that’s stopped us in our tracks: United By Blue has teamed up with Canadian footwear manufacturer SOLE to bring forth the completely sustainable SOLE x UBB Jasper Wool Eco Chukka, which also happens to look stylish and feel supremely comfortable.

And in case you had doubts, this isn’t some half-assed attempt at sustainability. Pretty much every aspect of this sneaker is designed with the environment in mind. Its sole is made from recycled wine corks, while the upper is insulated with bison hair that would otherwise be keeping some landfill out there warm instead of your foot. In addition, the Jasper Wool Eco Chukka features ethically sourced merino wool, energy-conserving algae foam footbeds (that also clean and restore waterways via their production), and waste-minimizing rice rubber outsoles. Now that’s a lot of nature you’re sinking your feet into.

And not for nothing, it’s a great looking shoe too. It comes in three colors — black, dark grey, beige — and can be worn with or without socks. The cork sole is a nice complement to the wool upper, which itself is very soft and cozy, almost like sweatpants for your feet. Plus, they feel light as air when you put them on, almost as light as their carbon...footprint.

SOLE x UBB Jasper Wool Eco Chukka is up on Kickstarter as of today, so now’s your chance to invest in this new shoe innovation and by extension, the future of our planet. Early funders will get a pair of the chukkas, which will ultimately retail for $150, for as low as $95.

If you love Monopoly, but don’t love how long it takes to finish a game, you’re not alone. In fact, you’re in such good company, that the makers of Monopoly created an objectively fun card version of the classic board game. You can finish one full game of Monopoly Deal in 15 minutes, but I can guarantee you’ll enjoy it so much that you’ll go for another round.

Even better, Monopoly Deal is a deal today; you can make this game your property by purchasing on Amazon for just $6 — just don’t try to pay with Monopoly money. Rich Uncle Pennybags tips his hat at you burgeoning entrepreneurs.

When the weather outside is frightful—there’s nothing better than playing board games with a group of friends and family.

Bloodborne: The Card Game promises to be a dark, fun team-based romp, and you can add it to your collection for just $21 on Amazon.

Set in the world of the video game that shares its name, 3 to 5 players work as a team to survive the throngs of monsters and villains sent their way. And unlike Settlers of Catan or Monopoly, you’ll likely walk away without any bruised egos or real-life blood feuds.

Nope, you didn’t dream it, there really is a full-fledged set of Pokémon games coming to the Switch later this year, and Amazon’s taking $6 off preorders of Pokémon Shield (though strangely now Sword). It’s marked down by $5, and a $1 coupon will knock it down to $54.

If your router doesn’t include enough ethernet ports for your liking, this 5-port gigabit switch from NETGEAR is a cheap and easy way to solve that. $15 is a match for the best price we’ve seen over the last year.

Label all the things with this discounted label maker. Is this your brick of cheese or your roommates? Never guess again. It’s basically $15 for peace of mind.

Maybe after you make clear what’s yours, your roommate will stop using your honey. I mean, it’s a $10 bottle of hot honey... they can buy their own. Goddammit, stop touching my honey.

... um, yeah. Labels.

I don’t know the first thing about parenting but if you don’t get your kid this, you’re a bad parent. I mean, look at it! It’s the Batmobile! Your kid would be the talk of the playground.

Recommended for ages 2 and older, this battery-powered model can go 2.5 mph and it’s super cheap right now, too. It’s about $20 less than what’s currently on Amazon, so if you skip this deal. you’re a real... Joker.

Eufy makes some of our readers’ favorite vacuums, and this RoboVac 11c Pet model is sure to please the pet owners out there. Down to just $200, this unit uses two side brushes and a wide rolling brush to pick up fur, dirt and dust.

While convenient, robovacs won’t completely replace your main vacuum. But you can go a lot longer without having to do the job yourself.

If you can’t find the time to get to the gym every day, this under-desk elliptical lets you squeeze in some light exercise while dick around on Slack. Comparable devices often sell for about $100 on Amazon, so this $70 Stamina Compact Strider is a steal.

The best part? No helmet necessary.

VPNs have been in the news, and whether you want to get around video geoblocks to watch Love Island on British Netflix, circumvent proxy filters, or just keep prying eyes out of your browsing data while using sketchy public Wi-Fi, reader-favorite Private Internet Access has a deal to fit your needs.

Private Internet Access doesn’t do much in the way of discounting, but they offer exclusive pricing and packages just for our readers that you won’t find anywhere else. Here are your options, and what you’d pay if you bought the same plan elsewhere:

Firstleaf is an online wine club that learns your preferences, offers tons of options, and most importantly, saves you money compared to buying from the store. It’s a solid deal any time, but it’s even better for our readers right now.

Every new Firstleaf member gets an introductory delivery with six bottles of wine for just $40 with free shipping, and every box thereafter includes six bottles for $80, plus $10 shipping. But if you use this link and promo code Kinja when you sign up, you’ll get FREE shipping on every box for your entire first year. That’ll save you over $100 if you get a new box every month. At the very least, you should get the trial box for less than $7 per bottle. I mean, why wouldn’t you?

If you’re having trouble sleeping, suffering from anxiety, or having trouble sleeping because you’re suffering from anxiety, Sunday Scaries CBD gummies could help. Jolie Kerr shared her thoughts on them for The Inventory, and now, our readers can save 15% for the always-stressful holiday season with promo code kinja15.

That applies to the regular gummies, the vegan versions, and the pure CBD tincture, with extra savings available if you buy in bulk, so your wallet can rest as easy as you will.
