President’s Day isn’t until Monday, but most of the best apparel sales have already started. Here…
Bookmark Kinja Deals and follow us on Twitter to never miss a deal.
Other than a 2-pack discount, we’ve never seen a deal on Amazon’s Echo Show, until today.
Get the touchscreen-equipped Alexa device for just $150, if you don’t mind a certified-refurbished one (though, how much could be done to it, if it’s not even a year-old device). You can read Gizmodo’s review if you want to learn more, but it turns out Alexa would have benefitted from a visual component all along.
You don’t need to break the bank on a drone when you know you’ll probably just end up breaking… it. Grab a quality, beginners-model Drocon drone for just $42. Even with the small price tag, this quadcopter features with real-time Wi-Fi transmission and an HD camera.
Qi chargers are so hot right now, mostly thanks to Apple, and this one from CHOETECH is only $10 today with promo code 2NPRPNWT. It’s not the fastest charger out there, with a maximum output of 5W, but that’s more than enough to charge your phone overnight.
Whether your current mouse is giving you chronic wrist pain, or you just want to try something different, this wireless vertical mouse from Velocifire is back on sale . $10 gets you an ergonomic design, three different DPI levels, and forward/back buttons. Just use promo code DPBPWVLC at checkout to save 50%.
The Roku Ultra packs in just about every bell and whistle a home theater geek could want, and it’s got a rare $10 deal today on Amazon. You probably don’t need this thing for your bedroom TV, but with an optical audio port, ethernet, USB, Dolby Atmos, and HDR, it’s ideal for a high end home theater.
There have been a lot of deals lately on Apple’s W1-equipped Beats headphones, but $90 for a pair of BeatsX is an all-time low, and a fantastic deal for iPhone owners that want an AirPods-like pairing experience on a budget.
From Gizmodo:
Want to catch package thieves ( especially inept ones) in the act? Or just see who’s at the door so you know whether it’s worth getting off the couch? The Ring Video Doorbell 2 is $30 off on Amazon today, and will give you an instant alert when someone’s walking up to your door, and even record the footage to the cloud with a subscription.
An SSD is the best upgrade you can get for your PC, and this 480GB model from ADATA is an absolute steal at $100. You’d be hard pressed to find any half terabyte SSD out there for less than about $120 right now, so we don’t expect it to last for long. Just be sure to use promo code SU650 at checkout (you have to be logged into Rakuten to use promo codes) to get the deal.
External Bluetooth transmitters and receivers with 3.5mm jacks have been around for years, but this model from Aukey raises the bar with support for optical (SPDIF) audio .
The little box can both receive and transmit Bluetooth signals, and includes SPDIF in and out ports to connect it to your TV or high-end audio equipment. Plus, it can even pair to two pairs of headphones simultaneously when transmitting, which would allow two people to, say, listen to the same TV over headphones to avoid waking up someone in the next room. Just be sure to use promo code AUKEY001 at checkout to get it for $28.
Giant plugs that cover up half the outlets on your power strip should be outlawed, but until that day arrives, these short extension cords will have to do. $15 gets you a pack of 10 (with code ZT9MSNYF), which should be enough for even the most advanced home theater setups.
Cambridge SoundWorks’ OontZ Angle is one of our readers’ favorite water-resistant Bluetooth speakers, but today, its larger brother has a great discount available .
So what are the advantages of the Plus model’s larger size? Obviously, it’s louder and has larger drivers, but the biggest difference you’ll notice is the battery life: 30 hours vs. 12 on the original. That’s reason enough to upgrade, especially at $30, after clipping the 21% (??) coupon on the page.
Anker’s PowerCore line has long been our readers’ favorite brand of USB battery packs, and you can save big on the slimmest 10,000mAh model, while supplies last.
The PowerCore II Slim appears to be the first PowerCore battery pack to include Anker’s new chipset, which delivers the fastest possible charging speeds to every USB device you own, including Quick Charge 3.0. That said, you’ll notice it’s not actually a Qualcomm-certified Quick Charge 3.0 product; it just replicates the tech on Anker’s own chip. That means less internal circuitry, and more room for battery, resulting in one of the thinnest 10,000mAh battery packs ever made.
Today’s $26 deal doesn’t require a promo code, but it’s a solid $12 less than usual.
Whether you need a small card for a dash cam, or a ton of space for Nintendo Switch games and 4K GoPro footage, these Samsung microSD cards down to great low prices in four different capacities.
At the best price we’ve ever seen, buying this 8-pack of rechargeable AmazonBasics AAA batteries should be a no-brainer.
Anker makes a smart plug now, because Anker makes everything, and today it’s discounted to just $14, $6 less than it was for Cyber Monday. Like pretty much all of these things, you can control or schedule it with both your phone and with Alexa, and its built-in energy monitoring is a great feature at this price.
VPNs are in the news these days, and with good reason. So if you’re curious to sign up and start protecting your browsing history and personal data (or, you know, getting around websites’ geoblocks), NordVPN charges less per month than a typical trip to Starbucks.
NordVPN has long been one of the most popular and reliable VPN providers out there, and if you sign up for a one-year membership, promo code VIP70 will drop your annual price from $69 to $48. If you’re sure you want to commit, use this link to get a special two year plan for $79 with code 2YSpecial2017, or this link to get three years for $99 with code 3ydeal. Lifehacker has recommended Nord in some previous guides, but if you have any firsthand experience with the service, sound off in the comments!
Despite what door-to-door salesmen might tell you, you don’t need a full set of knives. You can breeze through about 99% of kitchen tasks with just a few important blades, and they’re all included in this discounted 4-piece set.
The chef’s knife is one of our readers’ five favorites, and has long been the best value in kitchen knives. The paring and bread knives are pretty self explanatory, and while you could probably get away without owning a utility knife, it is a little more maneuverable than the chef’s knife, and it’s good to have one for chopping vegetables if you’ve been using your main knife on raw meat.
Or, if you don’t need four knives and want something that’ll last you and is worth it, add an 8-inch chef’s knife to your knife block for just $31. Victorinox’s Fibrox 8” chef’s knife is one of your favorite chef’s knives period, and by far the best value in the industry.
If you haven’t replaced your metal spring mattress with a giant block of foam that you bought on the internet, what are you even doing with your life? Amazon’s currently marking down the Sleep Innovations Shilo Memory Foam Mattres s to prices you’ll sleep well at night paying. A queen will run you $299 and a king is $469.
If your mattress isn’t leaving you feeling as well-rested as you’d like it to, buying a new mattress pad can breathe new life into your bed, and is a whole lot cheaper than buying a whole new mattress, especially today .
With a 4.4 star rating and over 2,100 reviews, this Sleep Innovations dual-layer mattress pad will make a piece of concrete feel like a cloud. It features a layer is a 2-inch slab of breathable memory foam and a 2-inch fluff of quilted fiber fill. And at $130 for a queen size or $150 for a king, easily add 4-inches of comfort to your existing mattress.
Nobody relishes the idea of sleeping on an air mattress, but they might not mind this discounted Wonderbed .
$80 is more than you’d spend on most other air mattresses, but this one includes DreamCoil Technology, which features air coils for added durability and firmness support
OXO made a fur-lifting brush for your rugs and carpets, which doesn’t seem all that interesting until you realize that it’s self cleaning. Every time you slide the housing back over the brush, it pushes all of the collected hair into a receptacle for easy removal. Shedding season starts soon, so today’s deal is perfectly timed.
Bodum’s pour-over coffee maker is as beautiful as it is functional, and Amazon’s marked it down to $15 today, within $1 of the best price they’ve ever listed on the 34 ounce model. Hopefully, you take your coffee makers like you take your coffee: Black. Because that’s the only color on sale today.
At first glance, the Bonavita BV1901 looks like your run of the mill drip coffee maker, but it has a few premium touches that make it worth the price. First and foremost, its 1560W heating element brings water up to temperature much faster than your average Mr. Coffee (assuming your home’s wiring can handle it). A special pre-infusion mode also saturates freshly ground beans before brewing to lock in flavor, and its showerhead distributes water evenly across the beans to maximize concentration.
The BV1901 typically sells for somewhere between $85 and $100, but today on Amazon, it’s just $80 .
There’s never a bad time to go to Spain, and you can do it for less than you might expect with this package from Great Value Vacations (in partnership with Travelzoo), plus a couple of bonus nights in Lisbon, Portugal.
Every package includes roundtrip air from basically any US airport (prices will vary), and tons of dates are available from now through September. Once you’re over the Atlantic, you’ll have your hotels covered for three nights in Barcelona, three nights in Madrid, and two nights in Lisbon, plus transportation between the cities. At each destination, your breakfast is included (a buffet, no less), you’ll have private transfers to and from airports, and you’ll even get some private and guided tours of the must-see sights like the Sagrada Familia.
Prices start at around $2,200 per person (based on double occupancy), which is a bit more than some other vacation packages, but between the air, the intercity transportation, the tours, and the hotel nights, it’s a lot cheaper than if you booked everything yourself.
If you’ve ever spent more than 5 seconds sorting through your mismatched food containers to find the right lid, it’s time to throw them all out and upgrade to the uber-popular Rubbermaid Easy Find Lid system .
These containers come in six different sizes, and yet you only have to deal with three different lids, making it much easier to find the right one. The 60 piece set is on sale for just $23 today. That’s $4 less than usual, and pretty much the same deal as most of 42 piece Rubbermaid deals from a price per piece perspective. This larger set rarely goes on sale outside of holiday deals, so today is a great day to get it.
If excessive noise or utter silence makes it difficult for you to doze off, this white noise machine might be the key to a better night’s sleep.
Marpac’s Dohm-DS boasts a 4.3-star average on over 12,000 reviews, so it’s safe to say it’s a well-vetted product. Today, Amazon is offering a 10% off coupon on the tan model today, which will bring the price down to match the all-time low.
They’re not rechargeable or have any special features, but this 12-pack of everyday D batteries is just $5 today, down for its usual $11 price. So if you have, or plan to have any electronics that need D batteries, this is a great deal. Just to note, these are an add-on items, so they need to be shipped with a larger order.
Thousands of our readers have bought Dremels over the years, but if you need some new accessories to tackle a specific job, or if the sanding attachments that yours came with are starting to wear down, this official Dremel accessory kit is cheaper than ever today.
Add a little black and white drama to your walls with 20% off Stone & Beam black and white wall art today. The coolest piece is this minimalist photo of the Flatiron building, and there are some interesting patent prints, London subway map, and more, so go check it out for yourself if your walls are looking empty.
Why does RAVPower make a pocket knife? I have no idea. But as multi-tools go, it’s a pretty cool one. You get a knife, a bottle opener, a can opener, a set of pliers, and even a screwdriver with nine included interchangeable bits, all for just $15 with promo code 5CAA24CC.
Anker, producer of a lot of your favorite charging gear, has its own line of flashlights now, and you can get one for an all-time low $8 right now with promo code 24WL5MJO.
The entry-level LC40 model is IP65 dust and water resistant, but actually doesn’t include a rechargeable battery. However, you can run it on three AAAs or a single rechargeable 18650 battery, which are cheap and easy to find.
If you’re still trying to eat healthier in the new year, Amazon’s taking 30% off three different flavors of RXBARs today.
