I ’ ve been using a pair of Anker ’ s Soundcore Life P2 since January , and they ’ ve been fantastic AirPods alternatives .
They were down to $ 50 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the price down to its lowest ever mark at $ 45 , no code necessary .
These buds feature CVC 8.0 micrphones for noise reduction , 40 hours of total playtime ( 7 in the buds , the rest in the charger ) , an IPX7 water rating , and Bluetooth 5.0 AptX for a cleaner wireless connection .
More importantly , these little bundles of plastic acoustical joy deliver powerful sound from the graphene drivers inside .

The Samsung Galaxy S20+ 5G is one of the most advanced smartphones ever , and it ’ s priced accordingly .
It ’ s tough for anyone to justify spending the $ 1,000+ Samsung asks @ @ @ @ @ @ @ issuing a $ 250 discount for both the 128GB and 512GB models.. Buying the phone for 5G alone isn ’ t wise considering how much deployment still has to occur , but the rest of the spec sheet makes up a good chunk of the premium : Remember , it ’ s a Gold Box , so the price goes back up by the end of the day .

Considering this set regularly goes for over $ 500 or is completely out of stock everywhere else , this my friends is a steal .
For the uninitiated , the Vizio M-Series puts picture quality first .
Equipped with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ quantum dot technology to make colors pop while deep blacks reach impressive heights .
Although its smart features leave something to be desired , it does have AirPlay so you can “ cast ” content from your iPhone , iPad , or Mac .
Otherwise , I recommend pairing this TV with a Roku Ultra , Streaming Stick+ , or even an Apple TV for stans of Tim Apple .

Promoted Deal: Save $100 on a Verizon iPhone 11 | Best Buy
Got an iPhone 8 that’s nearing retirement? The iPhone 11 represents the third generation in Apple’s new design language, and most major hardware and software kinks associated with that transition have been worked out by now. It’s the perfect phone to eye for a long due upgrade.
6.1-inch Liquid Retina HD LCD display
Water and dust resistant (2 meters for up to 30 minutes, IP68)
Dual-camera system with 12MP Ultra Wide and Wide cameras; Night mode, Portrait mode, and 4K video up to 60fps
12MP TrueDepth front camera with Portrait mode, 4K video, and Slo-Mo
Face ID for secure authentication and Apple Pay
A13 Bionic chip with third-generation Neural Engine
Fast-charge capable
Wireless charging
iOS 13 with Dark Mode, new tools for editing photos and video, and brand new privacy features
Whether you’re with Verizon or thinking of making the switch, you can save $100 on your purchase of an iPhone 11 at Best Buy when activating it on the Big Red carrier, bringing your starting price down to $600 outright or $25 per month for 24 months. This offer extends to both the iPhone 11 Pro ($900, or $37 per month) and iPhone 11 Pro Max ($1,000, or $42 per month), too.
Better yet, Best Buy can help you activate the device in-store with safety precautions to prevent the spread of, well, you know. If you’re not comfortable with that, they’re also happy to walk you through the process over the phone.
I’m not a big fan of spending hundreds of dollars on smartwatches, especially when they don’t have user replaceable batteries and they likely won’t last you the years an old time mechanical piece would. But at under $100, the Apple Watch Series 1 just might be worth checking out. That’s the sticker at Woot right now, which you might guess means it’s only available at this price for one day.
Available in Space Grey, Gold, Rose Gold, and Silver in both 38mm and 42mm, here are all the computing bits you’ll soon marry to your wrist:
Stainless Steel Case
1.65-inch AMOLED Capacitive Touchscreen, 390 x 312 pixels and Sapphire Crystal Glass
Operating System: watchOS 2, Chipset: Apple S1, Processor: 520 MHz, GPU: PowerVR SGX543
Internal Memory: 8GB, 512MB RAM
Heart Rate Sensor, Accelerometer, Gyroscope, Ambient Light Sensor
Up to 18 Hours of All-Day Battery Life, Up to 3 hours Talk Time; About 1.5 hours to 80 Percent Charge Time, About 2.5 hours to 100 Percent Charge Time
We should clarify that these are refurbished, and Woot says these Apple Watches may have scratches, dings, and dents, but they should work just fine otherwise. At $100, it’s the perfect trial device to see if the smartwatch life is all it’s cracked up to be before you splurge on something newer.
If you’ve been waiting for the perfect time to see what QLED is all about, check out the Samsung Q60, with the 65-inch model dropping to an astonishingly low $700 at Amazon.
Granted, this is the 2019 model and there are newer panels since available, but the Q60 is a really good 4K TV with competitive picture quality driven by its Quantum Dot display. Combined with HDR 10+ support, you’ll get ultra-vivid color in your movies and games, plus you’ll have Samsung’s maturing smart TV platform that brings all your favorite content front and center.
You can save 25% on an Anker PowerCore III portable charger. It’s down to $30 with a price drop and can charge your phone, tablet, and other devices easily. There’s honestly nothing more to say, grab it before it’s gone!
You can never go wrong with a pair of JBL headphones, and with the chance to save $35 on a mint condition pair at Back Market, it might even be time for first-timers to tune in.
The JBL LIVE 400BT are pretty basic in form and function, but you get powerful 40mm drivers, an elegant design, ambient aware mode to better hear your surroundings, and support for Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa.
This $45 price tag is $4 cheaper than Amazon sells refurbished models for, and you can’t specify whether you want it in mint there. Also adding to Back Market’s favor is a 30-day money back guarantee and a full 12-month warranty, plus free shipping.
Nothing beats the backdrop of your favorite tunes while you blitz through your work or chores. Usually, a slick pair of headphones would be the way to go, but if you’ve got the place to yourself, or really need to drown out the construction right outside, a bluetooth speaker couldn’t hurt. Right now, Bose’s Soundlink Bluetooth Speaker is down to $100 on Amazon, saving you $30. It also comes in a bunch of neat colors, so you can add some pop to your home office. You can even pick up a couple and pair them together for stereo sound. It’s also waterproof, so it’s good for a session or two of shower karaoke.
If you own newer smartphones like the LG G8 and LG V50 with 15W wireless charging speeds, you’ll need a new charger to take advantage. AUKEY’s 15W charger has a zinc alloy base with ambient lighting to set the mood on any desk, and today, you can save 54% when using promo code K8T7BLJE. Your total at checkout drops to $18.
Unfortunately, you’ll only get 15W charging if your phone supports it, but the charger will deliver whichever the max speed is on your phone of choice, including up to 10W for newer Samsung smartphones, 7.5W for iPhones, and 5W for all other devices, like AirPods and such.
Anker Powerwave Stand (Black) | $13 | Amazon
I don’t know about you guys, but I often forget to plug in my (somewhat ancient) iPhone 8 Plus almost every other night, despite the cord being right on my nightstand. I’m sure there are a couple of folks who do the same thing, and I’m here to tell you we don’t have to suffer anymore. The Anker Powerwave charging stand (in black) is $13, no code necessary.
You can charge both iPhones and Androids at a pretty good speed. The best part is that you don’t have to take off your phone case to get a good charge! It can deliver power with cases up to 5mm thick, so don’t worry about your phone mysteriously falling and breaking its back on the cold, hard floor. I’d grab it before it is gone!
I can’t be the only one who uses his smartphone as an alarm clock, but somehow forgets to throw it on the charger after a long day. I know you’re out there, you who slobber all night in your lovely slumber expecting to wake up on time for work, only to look frantically for the phone because you’ve probably slept like a baby right through your morning routine hour.
But guess what? The phone is dead! So now, you have to wait half an hour to get that first one percent of juice that’ll allow you to power the thing on, only to then find out that you actually have another couple of hours before you have to wake up. Whew! A two-pack of 10W wireless charging pads for $29 at Meh seems like the perfect remedy. And guess what? They have clocks on them!
If you’re spending more time outside because you’ve had enough of the indoors with lockdown you aren’t alone. Even if you are in a spot with sweltering heat right now you’re probably still trying to be outdoors for even a little bit. Take a little time and relax with good tunes as you catch a few rays. These Vivatar Bluetooth Lawn Speakers are 59% off today and here to the rescue.
Easy to place around the yard or pool depending on your musical needs and set up. They are waterproof so no worries about rain or sprinklers. They are rechargeable by USB and pair quickly with your phone for hours of listening pleasure. Cue up your summer playlist and get ready for the soothing sounds in your patio paradise.
If you’ve read a few of our pieces on SideDeal before and you like what you’ve seen they offer a $5 monthly fee to get free shipping on all of your orders no matter how many. Otherwise, it’s a flat rate of $8.
If you’ve got a plethora of devices that you need to plugin, I’d suggest an Anker PowerPort Strip. At $25, it’s a price drop of about $13. You can plug in your USB-C cords, as well as traditional USBs, and three power sockets. I would grab this before it’s gone!
Entertainment is one of the most shocking monthly expenses when you’re poking around the bank account looking for ways to save. Some people spend hundreds to keep themselves joyous without even realizing it. The cable bill probably adds the biggest singular chunk, though, and if you’ve deemed it’s time to cut back, you have no shortage of options to fill in the gaps. If you’ve decided you’re fine with over-the-air broadcasts using an HD antenna but you still want your DVR features, an Amazon Fire TV Recast is an excellent buy, especially at $80 off, and especially if you’re already knee-deep in Amazon’s digital content ecosystem.
Combined with an antenna and an Amazon Fire device—whether that’s Stick, Cube, TV, or Echo Show—you’ll be able to record up to four shows simultaneously, and it’ll hold up to 150 hours worth of recordings. You can also grab the two-stream, 75-hour unit for $150 if you’re dealing with a smaller household. And it wouldn’t be an Amazon product without Alexa butting into everyone’s business, so she’ll be there to help you find stuff to watch, too.
This deal was originally published by Quentyn Kennemer on 4/20/2020 and updated with new information on 7/20/2020.
If you’re looking for another way to listen to tunes, I would invest in a pair of Anker Soundcore Neo Headphones. They’re down to $33 and can handle Netflix binges, or Pop Smoke’s new album. They connect to your phone, tablet, or laptop easily with Bluetooth and comes with a case that charges with a USB cord for about 3.5 hours of straight listening time. I would grab this before it’s gone.
Personally speaking, rechargeable batteries are invaluable. Sure, you pay more up front for less physical cells, but you can easily rotate them in and out for charging, you should save money in the long run, and you’ll cut down on some of the hardest waste there is to discard. But if you still have a regular and peculiar need for disposable AA batteries, give Anker’s a shot. There are 48 of these alkaline batteries in one package for just $13. Anker advertises a 10-year shelf life, so you should stock up now even if you aren’t planning to use them right away.
The Anker 65W 4-Port charger is down to $38, no code needed You’ll be able to charge four devices at once, and the charger itself is thin and can plug into any traditional socket. I don’t think your phone or tablet will be dead ever again. Grab it before it’s gone!
Sure, sometimes it seems like you’ve reached the end of Netflix’s good content, but there’s still plenty of great movies and TV shows to watch while we’re stuck indoors. Now’s a good time to get started on FX’s Mrs. America, or you could always give MIddleditch and Schwartz a try if you need a good laugh. Right now, you can get a Roku Ultra HDR 4K for $69 at Amazon, saving you $31, which you could always use to rent Uncut Gems and watch it with the family this weekend.
The Roku Streaming Stick+ is also enjoying its own $11 discount, bringing your total for 4K viewing on any TV you want to just $39.
This deal was originally published by Jordan McMahon on 5/18/2020 and updated by Quentyn Kennemer with new information on 7/20/2020.
These last few months have been tough, and there’s unfortunately no end in sight if you want to be safe. Visiting friends and family out of town may not be happening anytime soon, but you can get the Echo Show 8, now $30 off, and still have a face to face conversation with them! Sometimes just a phone call isn’t enough. The Echo Show can also do other things, like make it easy to follow along to recipes, get a quick look at the weather, and more. If you’re looking for an addition to your smart home, the Echo Show 8 might just be it.
Love Fortnite? You’re certainly not alone! But if you happen to be like me and absolutely suck at using keyboard and mouse controls, maybe AUKEY’s Fortnite themed keycap set can help you out. Each key used in the battle royale is labeled with simple, easy to read at a glance icons that can help you stop fumbling around your keyboard and start building with ease. The keycaps can fit on any mechanical keyboard with cross-shaped switches (which is pretty common). The whole set is only $14 if you clip the coupon and use the code KINJAMA2!
It won’t help your aim, though.
So you’re stressed out by all the chaos in the world right now. What a coincidence, me too! How you manage that stress is up to you. You could go to the gym—ok, maybe not. Try a walk in the park ... surrounded by hundreds of people that had the same idea. On second thought, how’s a discount on Speks sound? For a limited time, when you buy a set of Speks in any color or size, you’ll get a second 50% off using the promo code BOGO50. If that sounds like it might help you fidget through an uncertain future, start mashing, smashing, and building today for a fraction of the price—the rest is on us!
NieR: Automata - Game of the YoRHa Edition | $20 | Best Buy
Have you played NieR: Automata? If not, well, you need to play it. Now. Lucky for you, Best Buy has the Game of the YoRHa Edition on sale for just $20. This version of Automata comes with the game, the expansion DLC, and additional goodies.
The only caveat is that this deal is only for the physical PS4 version of the game—the Xbox One version appears to be left out. Unfortunate, but that’s how the cookie crumbles sometimes.
If you haven’t played Borderlands 3 yet, it’s time to stop making excuses. At just $10 in Best Buy’s deal of the day (Xbox One, PS4), you can’t not pick it up at this point. Claptrap be damned, you’re in for another eventful and raucous trip to not just Pandora, but several other vault-keeping locales. Take your frustrations out with this loot shooter on either Xbox One or PlayStation 4.

In the world of Elder Scrolls, sweet rolls are serious business, and now you don’t have to use your imagination to pretend you know why. Grab The Elder Scrolls: The Official Cookbook for just $18 and get access to that and dozens of other recipes inspired by the homeland cuisine of the Bosmer, Khajit, Nords, and more.
Feast on all of the delicious dishes found in Skyrim, Morrowind, and all of Tamriel in this beautifully crafted cookbook based on the award-winning Elder Scrolls game series. Immerse yourself in the diverse cuisines of the Nords, Bosmer, Khajit, and beyond with these recipes inspired by food found in the Old Kingdom, across Tamriel, and more. With over sixty delicious recipes for fan-favorite recipes including Apple Cabbage Stew, Sunlight Souffle, Sweetrolls, and more, The Elder Scrolls: The Official Cookbook will delight every hungry Dragonborn.
And if anyone tries to steal a sweet roll from the, er, sweet roll pan, just shoot them with an arrow (preferably in the knee).
Ready for a bloody, gory good time? The Mortal Kombat 11: Aftermath Kollection is now just $40 on PS4, Xbox One, and Switch, or 33% off the MSRP. Seeing as the game is only recently released, that’s a pretty steep discount!
This isn’t just Mortal Kombat 11, either—this kollection includes the base game, the Kombat Pack with the first batch of DLC kharacters, and the Aftermath expansion. The expansion all by itself retails for $40, so even if you have the base game, you might want to just pick up the kollection if you don’t have the Kombat Pack!

Some Switch titles just don’t go on sale very often, and one of those titles is Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. The Switch port of the Wii U racer is a popular multiplayer title, but even years after its re-release, you still need to pay the full $60 for it. Right now at Amazon, you can grab the title for $50. A discount is a discount!
Seriously, it’s worth it too. With all sorts of tracks, characters, karts, and modes, there is endless fun in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe for game nights. It’s beginner friendly too, so most players won’t get completely beat over and over like they might with other games. Fun for everyone!
Now if Switches would stay in stock for more than five minutes...
Puyo puyo! Over the years, there have been many iterations of Kirby, all of them adorable. This art book chronicles the history of the pink puffball and his various enemies as well as the concept art that helped them take shape. It also features, according to the description on the back cover, “exclusive notes from creators and artists who have brought Kirby to life throughout the years.” Personally, I’m fascinated with the making of Kirby and the Rainbow Curse, whose in-game models were literally sculpted from clay.
However, if you’re looking for a good recent Kirby game to pick up alongside this collection, I recommend Kirby: Planet Robobot in which, yes, our adorable lil’ buddy suits up in a mech to fight back against an evil corporation gentrifying his home planet with destructive technologies. For a recent, not-as-good-but-still-okay Kirby game on Nintendo Switch, Kirby: Star Allies is still fun to play co-op with friends, despite its shortcomings.
Green Man Gaming’s summer sale kicked off yesterday, and one of the best deals you’ll find is a digital copy of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare for $39. It’s the only game in the series this generation I haven’t been able to put down after a couple of months, mostly thanks to the highly addictive Warzone battle royale mode and its variants, plus a gross amount of gun game, both 2v2 and 3v3.
There’s more, of course, including a meaty multiplayer with globs of rotating modes and playlists, and there’s a short, but sweet story campaign for those who protested its removal from Black Ops IIII. Buy it from GMG and activate it on Battle.net.
It’s amazing to me that The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild launched more than three years ago, and it’s still selling for full price. We’ve seen it dip a few times in the past, but those discounts are far and few between. Today, we’re seeing a decent $10 cut at Amazon for those who have yet to experience this vast open-world adventure featuring beautiful vistas to tickle your exploration bone.
If you still haven’t played Death Stranding, then you’re in luck, as it just came out for PC a few days ago and it’s already marked down 20% as part of Green Man Gaming’s newly launched Summer Sale. Join Norman Fetus in 2019's best strand game about the gig economy. From what I’ve heard, it’s the perfect game to play at this moment in time, and for good reason: it’s about a courier who also has to dispose of corpses found lying around because America has fallen apart. It serves as sharp, if hamfisted political commentary AND comic relief.
In her review for Kotaku, Heather Alexandra said it best:
It is a story about fatherhood. It is a broad dig at the gig economy. It is deeply concerned with upcoming environmental disaster and American politics, old and new. Death Stranding is also about throwing grenades made from your own piss and shit at ghosts. It is about hiking alone in the wilderness for hours. It is a tireless grind.
Apart from Death Stranding, other newer, albeit less recent releases like Red Dead Redemption II, Shadow of the Tomb Raider Definitive Edition, and Borderlands 3 are also on sale. Sort through the whole selection over on Green Man Gaming’s Summer Sale lander and report back with any remarkable findings.
Real quick: Go pre-order Far Cry 6 at Amazon. The standard edition is $10 off, and you won’t be charged until your order ship! Plus, Amazon guarantees same-day delivery and promises to adjust your total automatically should the price drop any further.
Copies are available for both PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
Car trouble is the pits. For anyone stranded on the shoulder reading this, you’ll be pleased to know Tacklife’s T8 MAX jump starter—what with its 1,000A peak current and built-in 20,000mAh power bank will not only get your car back up and running but your phone, too. Enter the promo code UZG8NHAF at checkout for a steep 34% discount. For $60, this ‘lil 8.85 x 3.34 x 1.18" booster can breathe new life into your car, truck, SUV, motorcycle, ATV, and yes, even your boat. An onboard emergency flashlight makes it easier to see what you’re doing at night while a trio of USB quick-charge ports keep your phone or tablet battery life intact. A 2-year warranty is the icing on the automotive cake.
This three-layer cooling fabric vest is just the answer to prevent a hog dog as our days hit the triple digits. Just dip it in water, wring it out, and the evaporation cools the pupper down. Take 42% off on this UV protective cooling vest today.
Not only does this protect against heat but sunburns too. Yes, your dog can get sunburned. The vest doubles as a harness so it’s comfy for them and makes walks easier for you. Both colors reflect the sun and have the 3M strips for better visibility to others. All the sizes are around $30 - $40 but only the small size has been marked down this low. So if you have a small to itty bitty good boy these will do splendidly. The vests are figured by chest size not weight so you might need to break out the measuring tape. My Jack Russell has that big characteristic barrel chest so he’s probably a bigger size than I’d think. This is an excellent item to keep in your pet’s summer closet if they go on warm walks.
Free one-day shipping on this item for Prime members.
It’s not the prettiest or most tricked out thing in the world, but judging by reviews, Simpson Cleaning’s 3100 PSI pressure washer offers powerful jet streams for a considerable bargain. That’s especially true today at Amazon, where you can snag it for just $260 after a 21% discount. Use it to spray down your house, the driveway, and the car that’s sitting on it, but hurry, because you only have one day to claim yours.
There’s nothing worse than getting all ready for the day and your car battery being out of commission. And yet, this is something we deal with all the time. Well, no more! In 2020 we’re getting ahead of our problems and buying a jump starter.
This one is only $30 when you clip the coupon and type in the promo code NTXSKLJT at checkout and can be able to resurrect any 4.5L gasoline engine easily. It also comes with a dual USB-port to charge all of your electronic devices if you’re in a pinch. Plus, the jump start is equipped with a handy flashlight just in case you’re in the middle of nowhere.

Whether you’re just assembling some light furniture or trying to tighten a deadbolt, if you don’t already have some, Walmart is letting go of a 116-piece set of tools for just $20.
You’ll get a hammer, mini screwdrivers, a screwdriver with interchangeable bits, a wrench, pliers, and a ratchet with all its different head options, and so much more, all neatly packed into a solid carrying case. It ships immediately.
If you’re more vulnerable to allergies and illness, this RAYCOP Lite allergen vacuum seems like something you ought to consider owning. A refurbished unit is $89 at MorningSave. Here’s the descript:
RAYCOP LITE is powerful and versatile to use on a variety of home fabrics, clothes and even a yoga mat.
Unique features of RAYCOP allergen vacuums include a dual filtration system incorporating a high efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filter, which is proven to capture 99.9% of common allergens.

This recertified product is sanitized at the warehouse, and you’ll have a full 90-day warranty to see whether it’ll hold up for the long haul.
Summer means cookouts for most people, or at least it did. As we navigate what’s proper and what we are comfortable with the summer BBQ has taken a new shape. If you’re lucky enough to have a backyard maybe you’ve had a few friends correctly social distancing over for hamburgers and hangouts. Whether you’re staying in place during the dog days or headed out into the wild this easy to travel grill station will perk up any pleasant picnic for just $79.
Although the legs are durable and steel you can set this delightful grill station from Coleman up pretty much anywhere. The side handles ensure smooth transport too. It’s easy to fill with coal and shouldn’t be too hard to get that fire going with just a match. The grill surface is designed for an even heat that you can control. It’s also built for easy clean up with the removable charcoal tray so no extra mess when bringing this thing back home. It’s also rustproof so if it’s left outside it’ll still be good as new no matter how many times you use it this summer season.
If you’ve read a few of our pieces on MorningSave before and you like what you’ve seen they offer a $5 monthly fee to get free shipping on all of your orders no matter how many. Otherwise, it’s a flat rate of $8.
If you have an older car, you probably don’t have access to this new wave of smart car technology. You may not want to pay to get any of it installed, either. It can get pricey quick! Instead, you can pick up this car adapter for just $16 by using the code 45791TSH at checkout and have (some of) the same features. You’ll be able to listen to your music and talk wirelessly, and it doesn’t take up your adapter port either! It’s a pretty good deal if you want some conveniences in your car!
I firmly believe that these pool floats make great decorations outside of their water activities so fear not if you have no pool or beach to bring them too. Amazon has graciously given us a code for 30% off this adorable unicorn from Sable. Just put KINJA119 in at checkout and save $5.
This national animal of Scotland is magical, charming, and obviously very cute. Sable makes most of the pool floats you’ve seen and they are absolute quality. They can withstand the hottest of days and handle up to 220 lbs. This mythical beast is 48 inches in diameter, so ideal for lounging. They do include a repair kit just in case your mystical pony gets a tear or leak. But that’s rare in our experiences.
One day free shipping for Prime members and the deal runs until July 22.
Pressure cookers are for those who are less patient when it comes to food prep. But you do get your money’s worth if look at power to price. You can do a lot with cheaper foods and slower dishes in a pressure cooker. Chefman’s XL 8-Quart Programmable Multi-Function Pressure Cooker is $81 off right now and it’s what you’ve been searching for.
This is a larger model so if you have a big family or are an expert in meal prep this is definitely the appliance for you. The presets help get everything just right instead of making educated guesses. There are ten presets for pressure cooking, four for sloe cooking, and four for steaming. You’ll also see sear, sauté, ‘Keep Warm,’ and ‘Delay Start’ to ensure every meal is perfectly prepared. The lid locks in place for safety and all the accessories are dishwasher safe. This particular one is black and stainless steel and will blend in with whatever else you have on your counter.

As I expressed in an earlier Co-op, I’m on the prowl for my first cordless vacuum. So while I can’t vouch for the Dyson V7 Origin myself, hearsay suggests it’s one of the better options out there (let me know what you think in the comments), and Dyson generally makes high-quality products which makes this deal hard to ignore: Newegg is selling the Dyson V7 Origin Cordless Vacuum, down 50% from MSRP.
In reality, this vacuum hasn’t been $400 in a while, if ever. On Amazon, where it currently sits at $290, the list price is $400. Still, you’re saving $90 over Amazon, where the lowest it’s been is $230. With a 0.14-gallon bin and 75% more brush bar power than its predecessor, the Dyson V6, you’ll get the capacity and the performance of some proper corded vacuums without any of the limitations. Better still, the head is interchangeable, so it can double as a car vac or traditional hand vac if need be.

While I don’t follow hockey religiously myself, I used to live in Pittsburgh and, before that, New England, so I’m no stranger to those who do. And if there’s one thing I know about hockey fans, it’s their uncompromising team loyalty. To help you represent your own, Adidas is selling authentic NHL pro jerseys for $68 using the promo code EXTRA25 at checkout. Whether you’re a hardcore PGH Penguins or Boston Bruins fanatic, you can show off your home team pride with some heavily discounted officially licensed swag.
While it’s still unsafe to travel to populated areas in the U.S. due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, if you’re looking for a cheap getaway to clear your head, I highly recommend taking a hiking trip within your own state for the day. And whether you pack heavy or light, the Mission Rover from Mystery Ranch will help you come prepared with all the gear you’ll need to survive the summer heat out on the trails. Now 30% off at Huckberry, this 43-liter bag is TSA-approved and features discrete compartments to separate your clothes from your toiletries and stow away your laptop in the included 15" sleeve.
It’s time for Everlane’s fabulous Summer Sale! Most items are discounted between 20% and 40% but there are a handful of pieces up to 50% off. Both the men’s and women’s section is included in this sale but the best variety of options is definitely on the ladies’ side.
Lightweight linen short sleeve shirts are perfect for summer and are now only $40. The indigo color would look great with a pair of jeans or shorts. Speaking of, skinny jeans are also just $40 and there are three washes on sale. Now top the look off with Everlane’s classic trainers for $49 with all four colors on sale.
This sale runs until July 26 and no code is needed. Grab free shipping when you sign up for their email list if this is your first time ordering. Orders over $75 ship free too.

A classic dress shirt? There is all that and way, way more available at Express. Get to shopping before this deal is done!
Have a bunch of solid colored, boring shorts? It’s time to spice up your shorts game! JACHS NY has a slew of printed shorts, and right now they’re a low $19 a piece if you use the code PRT at checkout. These babies usually go for $89, so to say this is a good deal is a bit of an understatement!

Camping lanterns are a great thing to have, even if you don’t go camping often. The bright light is perfect if you have a power outage at night, which is the prime usage of my camping light. I mean, it’s also super useful for illuminating a tent... obviously. Anyway, get two of these babies for just $18 at Amazon right now. These Eveready lanterns have two modes, as well—the standard lantern and a directed light that’s similar to a flashlight. Why wait? Go ahead and get this two-pack today and be prepared.
As the great Rihanna once said, “Cheers to the freakin’ weekend.” To celebrate the fact it’s Friday, Sunday Scaries is giving Kinja Deals readers 40% off their CBD starter pack with free shipping on each order. I recently received a sample of this exact bundle myself and have safely enjoyed recommended portions of the Gummies for Chillin’ and Unicorn Jerky so far. The latter in particular reminds me of those Sour Punch Straws you’d find at movie theaters in the early aughts. Also included are YOLO shots and a vitamin D3- and B12-infused oil tincture designed to relax and refresh.
Under ordinary circumstances, this pack would set you back $170, but because we like you, it’s $97 for a limited time. Even for those long poisoned by irony, I guarantee you’ll get a chuckle out of the shipping label on the box. Mine was addressed to “Lord Gabe Carey of Winterfell,” leaving a confused look on my doorman’s face when he handed me the package. Unbox it for a perfect description of the experience to come. “Taken by young professionals, entrepreneurs, college students, moms, and yogis who want a healthy and non-habit forming alternative for chillin’ the f*&k out.”
It’s impossible to talk about Ready Player One, the book or the Spielberg-adapted film without acknowledging the polarity of its content. The sci-fi novel debuted in 2011 is set 43 years later, in a world devastated by climate change and economic collapse. However, rather than touching on these very real issues, Ready Player One instead tells a virtual reality escapism story, wherein a teen boy named Wade Watts has to hunt down “eggs” by understanding pop culture references from the ‘80s and ‘90s. Love it or hate it, the sequel is on sale for $19 on Amazon and releases November 24, 2020.
I had no clue that Ta-Nehisi Coates, author of titles such as We Were Eight Years in Power and Between the World and Me, wrote some of the modern Black Panther arcs. I’m not the biggest comic book reader, but with Coates’ two volumes of Black Panther on sale for $6 each, I might just need to snag these for myself.
These Black Panther collections are just part of ComiXology’s Latest and Greatest Sale, which gathers up many of Marvel’s modern hit collections and give them a nice, deep discount. This sale lasts until July 30, so you still have time to grab what you want, but don’t wait too long!
If you’re into combat sports, you know Bruce Lee. If you’re not into combat sports, you know Bruce Lee. If you haven’t been born yet, you know Bruce Lee. This legendary martial artist died way too young, so if you’re feeling a bit nostalgic and want to relive the glory days of him kicking holes through human chests, check out this big collection of Bruce Lee’s biggest hits on Blu-Ray, which was once $125 and discounted to $92 a few months ago. Now, it’s plummeted even further to $62!
You’ll get five remastered movies in the bundle:
The Big Boss
Fist of Fury
The Way of the Dragon
Enter the Dragon
Game of Death
That’s about as solid a starter pack as you’re going to find.
This deal was originally published by Quentyn Kennemer on 4/23/2020 and updated with new information on 7/17/2020.
Hey! Umbrella Academy Season 2 will be on Netflix at the end of the month. Neat! That’s still almost three weeks away, though, so what will you do in the meantime? ComiXology has the answer with a sale on the Umbrella Academy comics! Perfect timing, eh?
This sale includes three volumes that gather up Umbrella Academy’s three major series, as well as the individual issues if you’re just missing some of the stuff. For those new to the series, it’s just $5-6 a volume, so for a grand total of $17 you can read the entire comic series while you wait for the next season. Not bad!
This sale lasts until July 27th, but you’ll want to get started on those comics now, so pick them up sooner rather than later!

Do you have earbuds that block out all sound when you’re outside running or are you a hiker who hears virtually nothing but your tunes? This might be a problem you didn’t realize as you should more be engaged with your surroundings when breaking a sweat. Plantronics Backbeat FIT 3150 True Wireless Sport Headphones are here to help all for $100.
Several customers noted that being able to hear what’s going on around them as their motivation for purchasing these. You absolutely want clear and crisp sound coming through your earbuds when you workout, don’t get me wrong, but not being able to hear anything else is scary. I’ve been there and it’s not pleasant when another runner sneaks up on you, or you don’t know a biker is yelling that they are approaching. They call this feature of the eartips, “Always Aware.” But beyond that, reviewers also noted they are comfy and sweatproof. They fit securely in the ear and the built-in mic is just a good as others on the market. One reviewer said he only uses these for work calls because they are so comfortable. You’ll get up to eight hours off of one charge. It pairs easy with Bluetooth and you’re saving 33%.
Best Buy offers free shipping on this item.
Most of the time, our phones are pretty great at capturing the shots we want. High-end phones like the iPhone 11 Pro and Google Pixel 4 even come packed with multiple lenses to help you get your framing just right. But if you’ve got a device with fewer lenses, or you just like having as many options as possible, you might consider grabbing one of Moment’s attachable lenses, which are on sale for up to $50 off right now.
If you’re just looking to get a wider view of a nice scene, there’s a wide 18mm lens, a 58mm telephoto lens, and even a 14mm fisheye lens if yous to get a little funky with your shots. You’ll need a case to go with those lenses, though. Whether you’ve got an iPhone or a Pixel, there’s an option available. There’s also a Galaxy case that’s $20 off, if you’re looking to give this to your Samsung-toting pal.
Remember Zoom? No, not the videoconferencing software, but the PBS show—ZOOM! SeaVee’s limited-edition Legend sneakers are Zoom in shoe form, an homage to the ‘80s made using Hoffman California fabrics. They’re bright, gaudy, and I’m absolutely here for it. But let’s say neon lights aren’t your aesthetic. That’s fine. Over at Huckberry, a wide range of SeaVee’s sneakers are marked down up to 40%. If your feet are as tired from all the socially distant walking around this summer as mine are, this offer is too good to pass up.
It’s not enough to have gotten Scorbunny as your starter, use it to demolish the entirety of Pokemon Sword and Shield’s NPC population, and then proceed to spam it in raid battles because it now has the coolest G-Max form and hidden ability in the lands.
And walking around with your Cinderace at the Isle of Armor is cool and all, but you can’t bring your bunny obsession full circle until the little fiery furball is staring you dead in the face every time you play your Nintendo Switch. Let it accompany you on all your Switch adventures with this specially designed PowerA controller, which is only $32 when using exclusive discount code 20POWERA20 at Amazon.

Popping pills to numb the pain shouldn’t always be your first and only resort. Sometimes, a good heat massage is all you need, and with a $29 Vivaspa shiatsu massager at MorningSave, there’s no reason not to keep this helpmate on standby. Although it’s advertised as being perfect for the neck and lumbar, you could technically use this on any of your aching muscles. With two heated kneading nodes working out all the kinks, you can afford to put off a couple of those expensive spa days.

With all that coffee you’re drinking, maybe it’s time to re-up your toothpaste supply. Colgate is selling three tubes of their Optic White whitening paste for $12, a whole 33% off the usual rate. Gluten-free and enamel-safe, this toothpaste uses hydrogen peroxide as recommended by dentists to ensure an uncanny sheen. Brush twice daily for 6 weeks and watch those coffee stains disappear. Find out why one reviewer called it “the best toothpaste ever. Try it and you will be amazed how it whitens your teeth.” If that’s not a glowing endorsement, I don’t know what is.
Oh, the joys of owning a larger vehicle. Not only does it cost more for parking in just about every city I’ve ever been to, but the jump starters, too, come at a premium. On the bright side, they occasionally go on sale for 40% off, as is the case with the Gooloo jumper pictured here.
This 1500A jump starter—which can breathe new life into your SUV, pickup truck, tractor, and even yacht—normally costs $80. Compared to the $60-$70 price tag on a lot of the 800A models geared toward more compact cars (the 1500A Gooloo supports up to 8-liter gas and 6-liter diesel engines), that’s a steep luxury tax for owners of bigger wheels.
Net yourself a high-end jump starter for the entry-level cost of $49 by clipping the coupon featured here and entering the promo code 5AS6L4JQ at checkout. You’ll never have to worry about your truck or phone dying again, thanks to its built-in 15,000mAh power bank functionality.

You may have seen Atlas Coffee Club on Forbes, USA Today, Food & Wine, and even CNN, but for the uninitiated, this subscription-based coffee service is giving Kinja Deals readers a free sample of their offerings using the promo code KINJACOFFEE. For $9 every 4 weeks or 2 weeks, you can look forward to half a bag of coffee on your doorstep from a different country around the world each time. $5 extra will grant you a full bag, making it the better value option.
With more than 50 countries now producing coffee—including Brazil, Ethiopia, Costa Rica, and Peru—you’ll have plenty opportunity to refine your taste and sample a bunch of globally curated grounds, or whole beans if you prefer to grind your own. Travel the world from the safety of your own home, in coffee form. In a time when sitting on a passenger plane puts yourself and others at risk, consider this a safer alternative to an international expedition.

These are in “mint” condition, too, which—according to the refurbisher Back Market—means the following:
Condition Note: All devices are in excellent cosmetic condition. May show minimal to no signs of use. All devices have been tested and restored to full function, factory, standard condition.
Should you take a chance, you’ll treat your ears to a balanced, but powerful sound stage helped along by active noise cancellation and Apple’s W1 audio chip.

theroot--2020-06-08--Hundreds of Ex- and Current Staffers Turn Out to Protest New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio

Ify Ike is in pain .
So much so that she was unable to hold her composure enough to stick to the written speech that she prepared for the protest Monday aimed at her former boss , New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio , for what she says is his failure to protect the black and brown residents he swore he would shield from racist policing .
She thanked all of the staffers of color who showed up at the protest at City Hall , especially those still on the payroll who are risking their jobs .
Ike , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ s Young Men ’ s Initiative , has been working behind the scenes organizing the protest and supporting staffers to speak up about the mayor , who told The Root that he failed to protect black and brown bodies .
“ We know that black lives matter , ” Ike said .
“ Black lives mattered to slave owners .
The question is , ‘ Does our humanity matter ?
’ ” A lazy ear would ’ ve heard Ike ’ s words , the volume and passion with which she spoke , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ angry at de Blasio over the curfew imposed last week during protests against police brutality that she says should have never been enacted .
She is angry that he , in her opinion , is giving in to a police force that will never like him , no matter how many concessions he extends to them .
But Ike ’ s body , her eyes , her movements shook only slightly .
She did not display much anger .
Ike was disappointed .
She spoke like a woman with a broken heart .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ protest .
But it felt more like a wake .
In more than a dozen conversations with current and former staffers , the mood for de Blasio is so low , it is clear they have given up on him .
There is no resuscitating the life back into this administration , as far as they are concerned .
None of the speakers really spoke in a tone that suggests de Blasio will suddenly become the mayor that he was on the campaign trail , who touched New Yorkers ’ hearts with the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , my dad “ is the only one who will end the stop-and-frisk era.
” A federal judge ruled in 2013 that the practice was unconstitutional and the Michael Bloomberg administration that preceded de Blasio significantly scaled it down .

“ Our city is grieving , ” he said .
“ Our city is angry .

And so do we .
Our city is fed up with the cycle of police brutality and government negligence .
Our city is fed up with members of our community being oppressed due to the color of their skin .
Our @ @ @ @ @ @ @ essential programs being defunded .
Our city is tired of seeing the funds going to those lacking in their commitment to serve and protect.
” People began gathering around 9:30 a.m. and the group of protesters slowly grew to about 200 to 300 people .
Many of the people who appeared were behind the letter provided to The Root written by a coalition of former and current female staffers of color who expressed disappointment with de Blasio over his handling of policing and COVID-19 , as well as their own treatment in his @ @ @ @ @ @ @ walked over to One Police Plaza , headquarters of the NYPD and on to the Brooklyn Bridge where they walked to Cadman Plaza , in Brooklyn .

She didn ’ t say much but that she was hurting over everything that was happening with the city , with the mayor , with everything .
Another former staffer , Natalie Leary , who worked in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ events , came over to console her with some other ex-staffers .
Leary told me that much of the frustration I saw and heard in the speeches was fueled by hurt over broken promises by de Blasio .
“ We all came here energized by his energy from his campaign believing in what he said , ” Leary told me .
“ As black and brown people who have worked grueling hours , days , nights , weekends to support him and his vision because what we believed would help this city , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ has let his staff down , he has let his former staff down .
He has let people of color across the city down and it ’ s painful.

“We know that black lives matter,” Ike said. “Black lives mattered to slave owners. The question is, ‘Does our humanity matter?’”
A lazy ear would’ve heard Ike’s words, the volume and passion with which she spoke, as anger. Indeed, she was angry at de Blasio over the curfew imposed last week during protests against police brutality that she says should have never been enacted. She is angry that he, in her opinion, is giving in to a police force that will never like him, no matter how many concessions he extends to them. But Ike’s body, her eyes, her movements shook only slightly . She did not display much anger. Ike was disappointed.

theroot--2020-06-08--Until Lil Wayne Learns 'How to Love' Us, Please Stop Going to Him for Social Commentary

In recent years , we ’ ve all watched Lil Wayne deteriorate before our very eyes .
I don ’ t know if its drugs or his lengthy history of seizures , but something is clearly awry with the artist formerly known as Birdman Jr. His once-lauded output has regressed from incredible to entirely incoherent , and his commentary on social issues has far too often followed suit .
In light of the death of George Floyd at the hands of Minneapolis police officers , Ben Carson ’ s spirit animal tapped into his inner Tiger Woods and said some @ @ @ @ @ @ @ even Tomi Lahren crawled out of her mayonnaise jar to co-sign it .
Specifically , he fixed his face to say , “ If we want to place the blame on anybody , it should be ourselves for not doing more than what we think we ’ re doing.
” Here ’ s the full quote from his conversation with Fat Joe : “ I think when we see these situations , I think we also have to understand that we have to get very specific , we have to get so specific @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is we have to stop viewing it with such a broad view , meaning we have to stop placing the blame on the whole force and the whole everybody of a certain race or everybody with a badge .
We have to actually get into who that person is .
And if we want to place the blame on anybody , it should be ourselves for not doing more than what we think we ’ re doing.
” In response , nearly the entire free world told him to shut that shit up @ @ @ @ @ @ @ only doubled down from there .
During a recent episode of his own Young Money Radio on Apple Music , he threw on the cape to ride for the boys in the blue .
“ My life was saved when I was young , ” he reminded everyone .
“ I was 12 or something , I think .
Shot myself .
I was saved by a white cop , Uncle Bob .
So you have to understand [ ... ] you have to understand the way I view police , period .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” He then went out of his way to point the finger at black officers at the scene who failed to render aid .
“ There was a bunch of black cops jumped over me when they saw me at that door , laying on the floor with that hole in my chest , ” Wayne continued .
“ [ Uncle Bob ] refused to.
” So let me get this straight : We just watched Derek Chauvin spend nine minutes with his knee on George Floyd ’ s neck while three other @ @ @ @ @ @ @ how you chose to respond ?
Dead smack in the middle of the biggest protest movement possibly ever ?
Then again , we ’ re talking about the same dude who clung to Calvin J. Candie as he declared “ there ’ s no such thing as racism ” and blatantly dismissed the Black Lives Matter movement during a 2016 interview with Nightline .
“ I don ’ t feel connected to a damn thing that ain ’ t got nothing to do with me , ” he sneered .
“ I am @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
If that don ’ t let you know that America understands black motherfuckers matter these days I don ’ t know what it is.
” He continued , “ Don ’ t come at me with that dumb shit , ma ’ am .
My life matter .
Especially to my bitch.
” This dude really went from “ I Can ’ t Feel My Face ” to I can ’ t feel my race .
So until he at least pretends to give a shit about the rest of us , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ giving asking him for his opinion on anything ?
Ever ?
I don ’ t give a shit if it ’ s a pepperoni pizza .
Maybe he ’ ll finally realize that black lives do matter once we stop giving him a platform to continue undermining our humanity and progress .
