Amazon’s deals section is bursting with rare sales: Save 40% on an Apple iPad
Whether you fall into the “summer’s technically not over yet!” camp or have already started ordering pumpkin spice lattes, there’s one thing we can probably all agree on: There’s nothing like a good sale to boost those midweek spirits. Actually, we’d argue the deals we’re seeing at Amazon are more than just “good” — with savings topping 70%, they’re pretty darn stellar.
For starters, you can get your home ready for cozy season with a fluffy pair of pillows marked down to just $32 (from $120). We also found a 9th-generation iPad on sale for its all-time lowest price ($199) that would make a fun back-to-school gift for your favorite student … or yourself. And don’t forget to stock up on stylish sweaters, leggings and other finds to round out your fall wardrobe.
No matter what’s on your shopping list, you can count on us to check price histories and do the real digging to show you the best deals worth spending your cash on. After all, you’ve got your “real” deals and your duds — and we pride ourselves on only recommending the stuff we’d share with friends and family (or just nab ourselves).
Tech, linens, self-care, sportswear … it’s all waiting to be snapped up. Happy saving!

This top-rated serum was purchased by over 100,000 people in the past month alone, thanks to its lightweight, refreshing feel and hydrating, rejuvenating effects. Snail mucin not only helps boost collagen and elastin for a firmer look and feel, but it can also gently exfoliate for a smoother texture while soothing the skin.

Never lose your luggage, purse — anything, really — again. Just toss one of these smart tags inside the item you want to track and you’ll be alerted of its whereabouts via your phone. And it’s down to the lowest price we’ve ever seen.
“The Tile is so easy to set up and takes just a few minutes,” wrote one fan. “My mother-in-law has Alzheimer’s and frequently misplaces her purse. We spent hours one night trying to find where she put it and finally found it hidden in the bathroom behind the towels. After that, we bought the Tile and put it on her purse and we have had no more issues trying to find it. My husband just looks it up on his phone and rings the Tile, which will send a little musical alarm to the Tile on her purse and we are able to find it easily. It will also show you on a map the location of the item if you are not within hearing distance of the alarm. The battery lasts a long time. In fact, the last Tile we had lasted almost two years.”

Layering pieces are essential for the complicated weather of the end-of-summer’s bleed into early fall.

Cake batters, cookie doughs, breads, frostings, meringues — you name it, I’ve probably made it using this mighty machine.

This powerful 7-pounder tackles pet hair and crumbs like it’s nothing, according to our resident vacuum tester, Kristin Granero. She awarded it the title of “best cordless stick vacuum” in her roundup, saying it “hit the sweet spot in our testing for a sleek vacuum that offers solid performance, along with some snazzy features, at a competitive price.”
She went on to praise its narrow brush head that “swivels like a dream” and described it as “lightweight” and “incredibly quiet — enough that it probably wouldn’t wake a sleeping baby.” You’ll be able to see dirt hiding in dark spaces, thanks to its headlights, and it even has a dust sensor that’ll automatically adjust the power depending on how much extra cleaning oomph is required. As for suction? Granero called it “superb,” saying it was a champ at “mowing down faux fur, sand, kitty litter, rice and cereal with ease.” It’s only ever dipped lower than its current price during Prime Day.

This top-rated bra comes in bands 34-46 and cups C-H — three cheers for (affordable) inclusive sizing!

If there’s anything you can’t have too many of, it’s socks, and with this pack you’re getting Adidas quality for $3 a pair.
