The best Amazon deals this weekend include an Apple iPad for its all-time lowest price
Happy autummer! That’s right, we’ve coined a new word to describe this delicious time of year where the kids are at school and out of your hair, the afternoons are still hot and sunny enough to enjoy summer-y pursuits and the slightly nippy evenings presage, among other things, the joys of foliage, football and fall’s bounty of TV and movie offerings.
Amazon is, of course, right on top of the situation with this roll-out of their weekend deals. All those soon-to-be-dazzling trees mean it’s time to invest in a leaf blower, like this one for half price ($70, down from $140!). Your neighbors might grouse about its 150 mph roar, but you can make nice by inviting them over for a cocktail by the brand-new wood-burning fire pit that you snagged for just $95 (formerly $180). Fence mended, you can head indoors and get your stream on with the Roku Express you scored for a ridonculous $19 (down from $30).
Those Amazon deals merely hint at the savings awaiting you — tech, housewares, apparel, self-care, even Halloween supplies have all been marked way, way down. We suggest you take advantage of this seasonal sweet spot. After all, autummer comes only once a year!

Never mind that it’s a previous-generation model: iPads hold their value, and this iteration is one of the best tablets you can buy, period — especially at this heavily discounted price. A price break of $130 is significant, but that markdown is even more eye-catching when you consider this model comes with 64GB of storage. This is the absolute lowest price on record for the 9th Generation iPad — we highly recommend grabbing it while it’s 40% off.
