Now that Amazon’s touchscreen-equipped Echo Show is out, and seems to be quite good, it bears repeating that you can buy two and save $100 with promo code SHOW2PACK. Owning two allows you to use them as videoconferencing intercoms, and even if you don’t need both yourself, maybe you could find a friend and go in together to save $50 each.
The same $100-off-two deal is also available for the audio-only Echo, if you missed it yesterday. Just add two to your cart and use code ECHO2PACK.

There are precious few battery packs out there with USB-C power delivery, and this 30,000mAh model from Aukey is one of the most affordable we’ve seen.
In addition to the two standard USB output ports, the USB-C port works as both an input and high-speed output port that can charge a 12″ MacBook at full speed, or raise your Nintendo Switch’s battery level while playing it at full brightness. It’s pretty huge, but 30,000mAh should be enough juice to get you through even the longest flights. Just be sure to use promo code AUKEYPB6 at checkout to get it for $54.
While you’re at it, here are two USB-C to C cables for $5.
Samsung’s EVO line are the best SSDs for most people, and MassDrop has the 850 EVO 1TB for $280 today, or $40 less than Amazon’s current price. That’s a decent chunk of change, but it’s one of the best upgrades you can make for your PC.
Grid organizers use a criss-crossing arrangement of elastic straps to secure your sundry power cables and gadgets in your bag, and you can pick one up for just $8 today with promo code YUVFNAO8. I’ve owned a similar product for years, and never leave town without it.
APC’s SurgeArrest is your favorite line of surge protectors, and the miniature six outlet version is down to $6 on Amazon right now, within a few cents of an all-time low. You can never go wrong with extra power outlets.
It’s officially beach season, and if you want to keep your phones protected from the surf and sand, you can get a two-pack of Mpow dry bags for just $7 today with promo code 2J4BMZI8.
Featuring dual rear cameras, Quick Charge 3.0, and user-replaceable “modules,” the LG G5 was one of the best phones of 2016, and now you can get one for just $250 unlocked, today only in Amazon’s Gold Box.
Neckbud-style Bluetooth headphones certainly aren’t everyone’s cup of tea, but some people swear by them for their battery life and exercise-friendly design, and both of Anker’s models are on sale today.
As you probably know by now, Anker’s original SoundBuds are our readers’ favorite Bluetooth earbuds, so the SoundBuds Lite and Life have a good pedigree. The SoundBuds Lite run for 10 hours on a charge, while the Lifes have upgraded drivers and a whopping 20 hours of battery. Just be sure to note the appropriate promo codes below before you buy.
Any number of remote controls more than one remote control is too many, and this $35 Logitech Harmony can combine all of your disparate remotes into one.
The Harmony 650 can control up to eight of your favorite home theater devices (from a database of nearly 250,000), and programmable macros like “watch a Blu-ray” can turn on all of the necessary devices, and switch a TV to the correct input with just a single button press.
Multi-port USB charging hubs belong on every desk and nightstand, and you can get a Quick Charge 3.0-compatible 6-port model for just $25 on Amazon today.
Of course, you’ll need some cables to go with that, and we’ve got you covered with microUSB and USB-C 5-pack deals.
If they don’t keep your office cool enough in the summer, you can at least ease your own suffering a bit with a desk fan. These two models from SIMBR are small, adjustable, and most importantly, USB-powered. Just plug it into your computer, and enjoy the breeze.
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), PureVPN is running some pretty stellar discounts right now.
If you sign up for a six month membership and use promo code 6M31, you’ll get it for $7.20 per month rather than the listed $9, and if you commit to two years, your price will drop all the way to $2.51 per month with code 2Y77, down from $2.95. That’s less than you spend during a trip to Starbucks.
Update: MassDrop just dropped the price an extra $50 to $200, and if you already ordered, you’ll automatically get the discount!
Sennheiser’s HD 650 open back headphones are widely considered some of the best-sounding cans you can buy for under $1000, and the best chance to get them is when MassDrop drops a new shipment of the legendary HD 6XX.
The 6XX is basically exactly the same as the 650, but with a 6′ cable rather than the original’s 10′, which is actually a better length, in my opinion. The 650s are currently listed for $316 on Amazon, and have never been cheaper than $287, but MassDrop has 7500 units of the 6XX available for $250, while supplies last.
Anker’s take on truly wireless earbuds is finally here, and you can save a lot by preordering through Kickstarter.
Update: Anker added 3,000 additional $99 backer rewards to celebrate reaching $1,000,000, if you missed out last week.
Needless to say, we don’t make a habit of covering crowdfunding campaigns, but given that we’ve personally used almost every product Anker has ever made, and our readers have purchased more than 200,000 of their products without issue, we’ll make an exception. Especially for this huge preorder discount.
Even better, I checked out two engineering samples of the Liberty+ on a recent trip to Seattle. They were comfortable (using the only size of ear tips available with the samples), and sounded great both when streaming Spotify and playing a few minutes of some podcasts.
As you’d expect from Anker, the headline spec here is battery life. Liberty+ gets a competitive 3.5 hours of playtime from the earbuds, but a whopping 48 hours out of the charging case. They also have some waterproofing, use Bluetooth 5.0, and work with your favorite voice assistants. Just don’t expect to wear them underwater or find any built-in fitness tracking.
I’ve been using wireless earbuds most days since mid-2016, and between our team we’ve tested more than ten different pairs. Anker’s Liberty+ are a steal at $89 (or $99 if you miss the early bird special), and while they will of course get discounted many times in the future from their $149 MSRP, we wouldn’t expect this price point again any time soon.
Expected shipping in October 2017.

For a limited time, if you purchase a Prime Pantry box with $60 worth of stuff in it, Amazon will throw in a free stainless steel or aluminum water bottle, because why not?
Chances are, you have one of those $5 Prime Pantry credits in your account anyway from choosing no-rush shipping, and it’s easy to get free Prime Pantry shipping by including any five of these eligible items. I’ve found that in most cases, Prime Pantry prices are comparable to what you’d see at the store, so between the water bottle, the $5 discounts, and the convenience factor, why not load up a box?
Note: You’ll need to add one of the water bottles to your box manually, but you should see a corresponding $9 discount at checkout.
For a limited time, Amazon’s selling the 20 ounce model of your favorite travel mug, the Contigo Autoseal West Loop, for $11 after you clip the $5 on-screen coupon, albeit only in in the stainless steel color. These mugs are cupholder-friendly, easy to clean, and will maintain a hot beverage hot for up to five hours, or a cold drink for up to 12.
This 16-can Coleman soft cooler isn’t going to keep ice frozen for days on end like a YETI or RTIC, but it’s perfectly fine for a picnic or keeping meat cold on the way home from the grocery store, and it’s a steal at just $9.
Cooking eggs isn’t exactly rocket science, but I’d say the ability to make soft, medium, and hard boiled eggs, plus omelettes and poached eggs at the touch of a button is worth $14. The Dash Go is Amazon’s top-selling egg cooker, and carries a truly stellar 4.5 star review average from nearly 3,000 customers, so get the red model while it’s on sale for several bucks less than the other colors.
Our readers have bought thousands upon thousands of Rubbermaid’s 42-piece Easy Find Lid food storage sets, but you can expand your collection today with this 18-piece set (nine containers and nine lids), now just $7.
At $82 (with promo code 5Z7N427L), this is the most affordable sous-vide circulator we’ve ever seen. And while it doesn’t come from a brand you’ve heard of like Anova or Chef Steps, it does seem to have some pretty solid reviews.
If you aren’t familiar with sous-vide, Lifehacker has a great explainer of the process here. Spoiler alert: it’s incredible easy, and the results are perfect every time.
The newest, big-screen Nest Learning Thermostat 3.0 is down to $200 today, which is a match for the best discount we’ve ever seen. These don’t go on sale all that often, so if you have one on your wishlist, I wouldn’t hesitate.
Note: Available for $200 in White from Amazon, but other colors are available at Home Depot.
It’s a little early to be thinking about blowing leaves, but preparing in advance can save you some cash, as evidenced by today’s Amazon Gold Box deal.
You can choose from a 150 mph GreenWorks cordless blower, or a 115 mph model with efficient brushless motors for $75-$77, both of which are all-time lows. These prices are only available today though, so get yours before the deal is blown away.
The RoboVac 11 from Eufy (a division of Anker) is one of your favorite robotic vacuums, and in my own testing, it’s every bit as good—and far quieter—than my Roomba. So if it’s been on your radar, our readers can save $20 today with promo code KINJA627.
The final price of $200 isn’t the best deal we’ve seen on this (it went down to $150 for a few glorious hours in May), but it’s still $75 less than the comparable Roomba, so if it’s been on your shopping list for awhile, this is a solid chance to save.
These days, you probably charge as many things over USB as you do over standard AC outlets, so it only makes sense to add some semi-permanent USB ports to your home. Get a top-selling receptable from TopGreener today for just $16 with code VQIIDUIL, one of the best deals we’ve seen.
The two best things you can add to your outdoor space are string lights and a fire pit, and while we see deals all the time on the former, the latter is a bit harder to find. Today though, Amazon has one for $33, complete with folding legs and a carrying case so you can put it in your trunk without making a mess.
Our readers have bought thousands of OxyLED’s motion-sensing T-02 lights, but the newest model ditches the motion detection for an on/off touch sensor, and we have an exclusive deal on them today.
$15 (with code KINJAOXY) gets you two of the just-released lights, down from $23. I could see these being useful in cabinets or closets that get enough ambient light to disable the motion-sensing models, but they’re also just less expensive, if you want to stock up on affordable lighting.
If your tires are about due for a replacement, Discount Tire Direct is offering up to $100 in Visa gift card rebates (in addition to any manufacturer rebates) when you order four new tires, plus an additional $100 if you order wheels as well, plus an extra $60 on each if you use a Discount Tire credit card. Just enter your make and model, click the options to see tires on promotion, and you’ll see the rebate amount (either $25, $75, or $100) on the right hand side.

ECCO has been around since the ‘60s but the timeless, comfortable styles of their men’s and women’s shoes are what’s on display today. Amazon’s Gold Box has ECCO men’s dress shoes, loafers, and sneakers, and women’s sandals and sneakers, for as low as $52. Trust me, these things will last, but this 24-hour sale will not.
Get beautiful and get free stuff at the same time. Pick up a $20 Amazon luxury beauty box, which is a little more fancy-schmancy than the typical beauty box, and receive equivalent credit to use on a number of featured products. It’s basically free money that you can use to further your beauty obsession.
Get your exercise on with up to 50% off select styles during New Balance’s Semi-Annual Sale. Everything you need to look like you care about working out is marked down, with over 1,000 styles included. From sneakers to t-shirts to bags to hold all your stuff, with prices as low as $8.
If you haven’t found that new favorite pair of jeans by now, American Eagle is marking down all their clearance jeans to just $20 for both men and women. A lot of them come pre-ripped and faded, but there are some hidden gems in there (like the Vintage Hi-Rise Jean for women and the Slim Selvedge Jean for the guys).
With five brushing modes, compatibility with multiple brush heads, a quadpacer, and a travel charger, The Sonicare Flexcare Plus is enough toothbrush for just about everyone, and you can get it for $94 after you clip the $30 coupon, the first time we’ve seen it for under $100.
It might not have the brand recognition of Waterpik, but this H2ofloss water flosser still boasts a 4.3 star review average, and you can get it for just $24 right now with promo code 9S6ABSJY. The best part? It’s tiny! It even comes with a travel case so you can throw it into you luggage.
Levi’s is a classic American denim brand, and they make your favorite pair of men’s jeans (no surprise there). Right now, they’re giving you an extra 30% off their entire sale section, from denim to outerwear and beyond, with the code 30EXTRA. With prices like these, a Canadian tuxedo may even start to look appealing.

If you’re fortunate enough to own a Nintendo Switch, you’d damn well better take good care of it. This hardside carrying case includes a clever screen protector that also holds up to ten game cartridges, plus an extra mesh pocket for your other accessories.
littleBits kits are fun ways to learn about electronics, but the cloudBit kit ups the ante with internet connectivity.
The kit comes to six snap-together modules, including a Wi-Fi one that allows your various sensors to connect to the internet and trigger IFTTT recipes. The video above should give you a better idea of what the kid can accomplish, but if it seems like something you might want to give as a gift (or to play with yourself), $63 is as low as it’s gotten on Amazon.
If your PlayStation Plus membership is due to expire soon (or not), grab another year for $48 today, which is about as low as it gets since Sony jacked up the price by $10.
The 2017 Steam Summer Sale is live, with deals on hundreds of titles including Hollow Knight, Rocket League, Telltale’s Guardians of the Galaxy, and a lot (a lot!) more.
