Top Deals

If you own a compatible phone, the Samsung Gear VR is practically a must-buy accessory for $100. But for $60, you’d be crazy not to pick it up.

This model is compatible with the Galaxy Note 5, plus the Galaxy S6, S6 edge, S6 edge+, S7, and S7 Edge. Just clip your phone into place, and enjoy 3D photos, hundreds of games, a virtual cinema, and more from the Oculus VR store.

Just note that today’s $60 price tag is part of an Amazon Gold Box deal, meaning it’s only available today, or until sold out.

We shared the first deal on these Rubbermaid FreshWorks containers a few weeks ago, and on several occasions since, and you guys have bought thousands of them, to the point that Amazon has often killed the deal within hours of our posting it. So if you’ve missed out on Amazon’s previous deals, or loved yours so much that you want to buy more, the two-pack is back on sale for $17 today, down from $20.

So, what’s the big deal? First, each FreshWorks product includes a “crisp tray” which elevates your produce off the bottom of the container, giving moisture a place to drip, and air enough room to flow. Second and most importantly, the lids feature special filters that regulate the flow of oxygen and CO2 into and out of the containers. All told, Rubbermaid claims keeps food fresh up to 80% longer than store packaging.

It may sounds too good to be true, but customer reviews are fantastic, and Amazon’s offering a 2-piece set for $17 today, down from their usual $20. If they save just a few batches of arugula or scoops of blueberries that you would have otherwise thrown out, they’ll have already paid for themselves.

It’s the perfect time to go for a run, not only because the weather is cooling off, but because Amazon’s Skechers Gold Box is discounting tons of running shoes. Grab a pair for under $40 and hit the pavement. There are even some basketball shoes and trainers to check out too.

Traditional knife blocks take up a ton of space, but this unique porcelain knife holder can store all of your spare blades for just $11. Rather than individual slots for each knife, this is basically just a cup full of tightly packed magnetic bristles, so you can slide your knife into any free space. I’ve never seen anything quite like it before, but I have to say, it seems smart.

Until relatively recently, if you wanted an external hard drive with more than 2TB of space, you had no choice but to plug in an external power cord. Now though, you can carry 4TB around in your pocket or bag, with nothing but a USB cable to connect it. $100 is the best deal we’ve seen on this model.

Last week, we shared that Amazon was selling LifeStraws for $16 each, a $4 discount. But if that didn’t whet your whistle, or if you just missed it, it’s now down to $15. If you aren’t familiar, these allow you to sip directly from basically any source of fresh water you find in nature. Hopefully you never need one, but if you like to spend time outdoors, it’s worth keeping one in your bag.

While supplies last, Amazon’s taking an extra 20% off over 20 popular PC gaming accessories with promo code PAXWEST20, including gear from Razer, Corsair, SteelSeries, and others.

You can see the full list of eligible items here, but they run the gamut from gaming mice and keyboards to routers, mouse pads, and even a complete gaming PC. Just note that the prices listed do not reflect the discount, so you won’t see the deal until checkout.

Note: The code will only work on items shipped and sold by Amazon.com directly, and I noticed at least one item that was defaulting to a third party seller. Just be sure to check the seller listing, and add the correct one to your cart.

The Wii U is essentially a dead console at this point, but honestly, it might be worth picking up just to play the likes of Mario Kart, Super Smash Bros., and Super Mario Maker, among others that you can’t play anywhere else. While supplies last, $225 gets you a refurbished 32GB console, Super Mario 3D World, Nintendoland, and a $25 eBay gift card.

Before you head out on your next camping trip or excursion into your attic, you might want to pick up this discounted head lamp from Kmashi for $17. It’s IP65 dust and water resistant, and can run for eight hours on its highest setting, or 10 at a reduced brightness. Plus, it recharges over USB, so you could potentially juice it back up from the trail with a battery pack.

Owning a boat is a lifestyle choice that takes a lot of money and time, but looking like you own one is easy as just buying a bunch of Nautica. With an extra 25% off sale items, you can look like you spend your days sailing in Ibiza without leaving dry land, if you’re into that sort of thing.

Note: Discount show in cart.

If you’re planning to fly Southwest or American Airlines any time in the near future, there’s no reason not to buy these $100 gift card for $92. That’s not a huge discount, but airline gift cards hardly ever go on sale, and you can spend the money you saved on in-flight Wi-Fi, or seat upgrades.

The Worx WG119 is about as barebones as an electric trimmer and edger can be; it even relies on an extension cord, rather than a battery, but it’s tough to fault it at $20.

Traditional knife blocks take up a ton of space, but this unique porcelain knife holder can store all of your spare blades for just $11. Rather than individual slots for each knife, this is basically just a cup full of tightly packed magnetic bristles, so you can slide your knife into any free space. I’ve never seen anything quite like it before, but I have to say, it seems smart.

If you’re going to eventually spend $100 on Google Play anyway, you might as well buy this gift card, and get $5 in bonus eBay credit for free. That’s not a life-changing deal or anything, but hey, it’s free money.

iClever’s BoostCube line is The Wirecutter’s pick for best travel charger, and two different models are on sale today. Just be sure to note the promo codes. The $12 model is actually one of the best deals we’ve seen on any Quick Charge 3.0-compatible charger.

Another day, another J.Crew Factory markdown. This time, get an extra 50% off basically everything full-price (the only exclusions are men’s suiting, cashmere and leather items), an extra 50% off clearance styles when you use the code WOOHOO. Grab a new button-down for $35 or some new chinos for $30.

Update: Sold out

The LG Watch Urbane is absolutely one of the best looking Android Wear watches on the market, and you can get your own for $99 today from Verizon (Discount applied in cart). That’s $250 less than its original selling price, and easily best deal we’ve seen. If you’re on the fence, be sure to check out Gizmodo’s impressions.

The proliferation of inexpensive HDTV bias lights has been the only good thing to happen in 2016, but even by our standards, $12-$14 for RGB models is cheap.

If you haven’t seen these before, they’re basically LED light strips that plug directly into your TV’s USB port for power, and sticks to the back of the set via built-in adhesive. Once you turn your TV on, the light strip will cast a soft glow on the wall behind it, which can reduce eyestrain when watching in the dark, and improve your TV’s perceived black levels.

The $12 model is a single 35" strip with a single inline switch to change the colors, while the $14 version is a pair of 19" strips that you can control with a remote.

This organic bamboo cutting board doesn’t have USB charging ports, a built-in scale, or any other traditional Kinja Deals trappings. I just think it looks nice, and $18 is a match for this board’s all-time low.

If you don’t mind buying a refurb, Shark’s Rotator vacuum is down to an even $100 today in Amazon’s Gold Box.

That gets you a powerful vacuum with true HEPA filter, swivel steering, pet tools, and plenty of suction. For reference, this sells for $165 new, and has a 4.5 star average on over 200 reviews. Just remember that this is a Gold Box deal, so get yours before they’re all sucked up.

Tom Clancy’s The Division is far from a perfect game, but if you’ve been waiting for a decent price drop to pick up a copy, Amazon’s knocked it down to $25 on all platforms, today only.

If you want to change your own oil or do other work on the underside of your car, it’s worth investing in a good jack for your garage, and assuming your car weighs less than 1.5 tons, we’ve got a fantastic deal for you.

This Powerbuilt jack is made from aircraft grade aluminum, has a lifting range from 3.5-14.5", and will only set you back $68 today, which is a great price for this sort of jack. While you’re at it, you may want to invest in some inexpensive jack stands as well, for added security.

So, tomorrow is September, which means summer is basically almost over. If you, like me, are thankful for this fact, than this 20% off sale at ASOS is right up your alley. Shop new styles, which range from coated denim to bomber jackets. There are even some bathing suits in there for those who aren’t quite ready to let go of the season.

Anker’s original SoundBuds still hold the title of your favorite affordable Bluetooth headphones, but if you can’t get them to sit correctly in your ears, the new SoundBuds NB10s were designed just for you.

The highlight feature here is the NB10's wraparound design; once these things are in your ears, they’re not going anywhere until you take them out. They’re also IPX5 water-resistant (an improvement from the original’s IPX4 rating), pack in 12mm drivers, and include Anker’s hassle-free 18 month warranty.

For a limited time, promo code AUDIOANK will take $4 off your pair, and while that’s not a massive discount, it is the best price we’ve seen on these to date.

If you hurry over to Amazon, you can score a 16 ounce Contigo Autoseal West Loop travel mug in white for $12, the best price we’ve seen.

If that sells out, or if you don’t like the color, several other colors are available directly from Amazon for just $1 more. This is our readers’ favorite travel mug by a wide margin, and can keep a drink hot for four hours, or cold for up to 12.

Vantrue’s compact N1 dash cam is only $60 today with promo code BH2F9URO, but it doesn’t skimp on features. You get night vision, automatic loop recording, a g-sensor to detect crashes, and even a parking mode that uses motion detectors to film anyone or anything that gets too close to your vehicle while it’s stationary.

In case you’ve been living in a cave and haven’t played it yet, The Witcher 3 is one of the best games you can buy for the current generation of consoles, and the newly-released Complete Edition is available for just $40 for Prime members. That’s only $7-$9 more than the standard edition, but includes all of excellent DLC packs.

Note: Discount shown at checkout

Zika’s officially here, and Repel 100 was your pick for the best bug spray to protect yourself. If you haven’t picked up a bottle yet, and you have something else you’ve been meaning to buy, Amazon’s marked it down to an all-time low $6 as an add-on item.

If you still have any TVs without a Chromecast attached, Google’s official eBay store will sell you one at a $5 discount today (also available on Chromecast Audio). Plus, Google will throw in 90 days of unlimited Google Play music, plus two months of Spotify Premium (new users only) for free.

If you want to get real work done on your phone or tablet on the go, this foldable Bluetooth keyboard can fold up to fit into just about any bag, and even some pockets. Plus, it even doubles as a stand to prop up your mobile device of choice.

If you have your own little tot crawling around, or have any friends with young children, Amazon’s offering a parenting lifeline with 35% off various diapers and baby wipes, plus an extra 20% for Prime members via an Amazon Family Subscribe & Save discount.

Just find your favorite variety from the list below, and note that you won’t see the discount until checkout.

Amazon’s Fire TV is one of the only streaming boxes that can push out 4K content, and you can save $15 on yours today.

If you’re in the market for a new external hard drive, $70 is about as cheap as we ever see 2TB models, and WD’s My Passport Ultra is one of the best.

If you want to dip your toes into the world of electric toothbrushes, Philips’ entry level Sonicare Essence line is an amazing value at $20 (after clipping the $5 coupon). I’ve been using this brush for years, and I still love it.

We saw this deal last month, and it sold out very quickly, so I wouldn’t hesitate to lock in your order if you’re interested.
