For a short time , Best Buy is offering Skullcandy Wireless In-Ear Headphones for a low $ 50 .
That means it ’ s 50 % @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 100 .
Charge em ’ up and start listening !
Being in quarantine has left many of us without a way to get up and move around .
That isn ’ t healthy long-term , so as long as it ’ s not too hot out , it ’ s not a bad idea to get out for a quick walk every day .
If you need an extra nudge , or just like keeping track of your outings , a Fitbit can help .
Right now , you can get the Fitbit @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Best Buy .
It ’ s an entry-level fitness tracker , but it packs plenty of features , including sleep tracking , workout logging , and heart rate monitoring .
This deal was originally published in August 2020 and updated with new information on 8/18/2020 .
Until we get microLED , QLED TVs are some of the best you can buy today .
They have richer colors thanks to new panel technology that uses quantum dots , which glow to more precise colors than the underlying LCD technology could manage when heated up @ @ @ @ @ @ @ boring details and just inform you that it ’ s beautiful .
If you want to see why , now ’ s your chance with a 65-inch Samsung Q60 now fallen to $ 750 at both Best Buy and Amazon .
While not quite as impressive to the eye as OLED , QLED sets have a couple of major benefits for it : • OLED sets , especially earlier ones , are prone to image retention and burn-in issues .
• OLED sets tend to be a lot more expensive .
And as @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a Samsung QLED , let me tell you : The difference is noticeable , but I certainly would be happy with a QLED on its own .
Don ’ t hesitate to pick this 4K smart set up if you ’ re due for an upgrade .
It seems like a good printer is the one thing most people just don ’ t have or do and never hooked up or never bought new cartridges for .
Weirdly , printers are still kind of useful especially if it ’ s an all-in-one printer @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 7855 is that and it ’ s currently $ 80 off .
Printing , scanning , copying , and faxing the Envy does it all .
But it shines in printing beautiful vibrant photos through the USB port , SD card slot , or directly from your phone with the dual-band Wi-Fi .
The touch-screen makes functions simple to find and operate .
There is an “ Easy Replenish ” option so ink will be sent automatically when you need it , which is part of the reason our printer was never used @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ink .
The Envy also works with Alexa and Google Assistant .
Most customers have noted that it ’ s set up isn ’ t complicated and it prints the best pictures they ’ ve ever seen .
Not bad for a 35 % discount .
This item will ship for free .
If you ’ re in an area where you are outdoor dining or everything is still outside of an establishment you ’ re in that bind of not being able to charge your phone .
Are you that friend that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ battery ?
I try to have at least two chargers now because I ’ m usually out all day but I know that it ’ s harder for my pals to get a bartender or waitress to help them out .
Take $ 40 off this myCharge portable charger today and never stress out about your phone in the red again .
This charger has two USB to power up to phones or devices at once if need be .
The rubberized outside makes it a little more durable if you are going @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the day and want to make sure you ’ re prepared with power .
The carabiner clip lets you secure it right to your backpack or whatever gear you go out with .
The micro USB connector lets up power it back up as needed .
It ’ s capable of 20100 milliampere hours of use and comes with a one year warranty .
I highly suggest investing in a good charger for your next adventure .
Among the many woes of quarantine , getting work done as your pups start barking every @ @ @ @ @ @ @ certainly one .
Even if your deliveries are limited to weekly grocery drop-offs and the occasional takeout , sometimes even the most minor sonic disturbance can throw you out of your groove .
It might be too late to teach your old dog to stop yapping at the neighbors , but you can certainly cop a pair of noise-canceling headphones that ’ ll drown out the symphony of howls that accompanies your package deliveries .
Right now , Sony ’ s WH-XB900N Noise-Canceling Headphones are $ 100 off at Amazon in a one @ @ @ @ @ @ @ $ 148 .
That ’ s still not “ cheap ” , but for the price they offer excellent sound quality and passable noise-canceling .

When inspected under a microscope , one out of every six smartphones contains fecal matter , according to a 2011 study conducted at the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine .
And while I regret to inform you that your phone is probably covered in poo , I ’ m even sadder to report your phone is 18 times more disgusting than @ @ @ @ @ @ @ over at PhoneSoap put it , “ We wash our hands but we never wash our smartphones.
” That ’ s generalizing , of course , but the point stands : Most of us aren ’ t as conscious of the harmful bacterias permeating our phones as we are our hands , and in the midst of a pandemic , that ’ s probably not the best way to mitigate risk of infection .
PhoneSoap 3 seems to be a good solution to help you keep your phone clean without submerging it in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ technology , this waterless gadget is capable of killing 99.99 % of germs .
A built-in acoustic audio amplifier keeps alarms and notifications from being muffled , and a pair of charging ports yields additional functionality .
PhoneSoap 3 is 20 % off using our exclusive promo code INVENTORY20 , bringing the subtotal down to $ 64 before taxes and shipping .
This past weekend , I sat around as my crew pondered a new rotation of multiplayer and co-op games to play , but we won ’ t be able to play @ @ @ @ @ @ @ know why ?
No one had any of the games installed because they all vehemently refuse to buy more hard drive space , and frankly , I ’ m just sick of it .
I even yelled at them !
Seriously , don ’ t you get tired of deleting and redownloading the same games over and over again ?
It ’ s equally as maddening as those who spend hundreds of dollars per year on disposable batteries .
If these words sting , it ’ s because truth hurts and you ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ one of life ’ s most annoying recurring issues with a single purchase .

For a short time, Best Buy is offering Skullcandy Wireless In-Ear Headphones for a low $50. That means it’s 50% off the original list price of $100. Charge em’ up and start listening!
Being in quarantine has left many of us without a way to get up and move around. That isn’t healthy long-term, so as long as it’s not too hot out, it’s not a bad idea to get out for a quick walk every day. If you need an extra nudge, or just like keeping track of your outings, a Fitbit can help. Right now, you can get the Fitbit Inspire HR for just $70 at Best Buy. It’s an entry-level fitness tracker, but it packs plenty of features, including sleep tracking, workout logging, and heart rate monitoring.

Until we get microLED, QLED TVs are some of the best you can buy today. They have richer colors thanks to new panel technology that uses quantum dots, which glow to more precise colors than the underlying LCD technology could manage when heated up. I’ll spare you the boring details and just inform you that it’s beautiful. If you want to see why, now’s your chance with a 65-inch Samsung Q60 now fallen to $750 at both Best Buy and Amazon.
While not quite as impressive to the eye as OLED, QLED sets have a couple of major benefits for it:
OLED sets, especially earlier ones, are prone to image retention and burn-in issues.
OLED sets tend to be a lot more expensive.
And as someone who owns an LG OLED and a Samsung QLED, let me tell you: The difference is noticeable, but I certainly would be happy with a QLED on its own. Don’t hesitate to pick this 4K smart set up if you’re due for an upgrade.
It seems like a good printer is the one thing most people just don’t have or do and never hooked up or never bought new cartridges for. Weirdly, printers are still kind of useful especially if it’s an all-in-one printer. HP’s HP Envy Photo 7855 is that and it’s currently $80 off.
Printing, scanning, copying, and faxing the Envy does it all. But it shines in printing beautiful vibrant photos through the USB port, SD card slot, or directly from your phone with the dual-band Wi-Fi. The touch-screen makes functions simple to find and operate. There is an “Easy Replenish” option so ink will be sent automatically when you need it, which is part of the reason our printer was never used again. No one went to buy ink. The Envy also works with Alexa and Google Assistant. Most customers have noted that it’s set up isn’t complicated and it prints the best pictures they’ve ever seen. Not bad for a 35% discount.

If you’re in an area where you are outdoor dining or everything is still outside of an establishment you’re in that bind of not being able to charge your phone. Are you that friend that is always running on a 10% battery? I try to have at least two chargers now because I’m usually out all day but I know that it’s harder for my pals to get a bartender or waitress to help them out. Take $40 off this myCharge portable charger today and never stress out about your phone in the red again.
This charger has two USB to power up to phones or devices at once if need be. The rubberized outside makes it a little more durable if you are going out hiking or to the beach for the day and want to make sure you’re prepared with power. The carabiner clip lets you secure it right to your backpack or whatever gear you go out with. The micro USB connector lets up power it back up as needed. It’s capable of 20100 milliampere hours of use and comes with a one year warranty. I highly suggest investing in a good charger for your next adventure.
This item ships for free.
Among the many woes of quarantine, getting work done as your pups start barking every time there’s a delivery is certainly one. Even if your deliveries are limited to weekly grocery drop-offs and the occasional takeout, sometimes even the most minor sonic disturbance can throw you out of your groove. It might be too late to teach your old dog to stop yapping at the neighbors, but you can certainly cop a pair of noise-canceling headphones that’ll drown out the symphony of howls that accompanies your package deliveries. Right now, Sony’s WH-XB900N Noise-Canceling Headphones are $100 off at Amazon in a one day sale, bringing them down to $148. That’s still not “cheap”, but for the price they offer excellent sound quality and passable noise-canceling.
It’s true. When inspected under a microscope, one out of every six smartphones contains fecal matter, according to a 2011 study conducted at the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine. And while I regret to inform you that your phone is probably covered in poo, I’m even sadder to report your phone is 18 times more disgusting than a public toilet. As the experts over at PhoneSoap put it, “We wash our hands but we never wash our smartphones.”
That’s generalizing, of course, but the point stands: Most of us aren’t as conscious of the harmful bacterias permeating our phones as we are our hands, and in the midst of a pandemic, that’s probably not the best way to mitigate risk of infection. PhoneSoap 3 seems to be a good solution to help you keep your phone clean without submerging it in water. Thanks to advances in UV technology, this waterless gadget is capable of killing 99.99% of germs. A built-in acoustic audio amplifier keeps alarms and notifications from being muffled, and a pair of charging ports yields additional functionality.
PhoneSoap 3 is 20% off using our exclusive promo code INVENTORY20, bringing the subtotal down to $64 before taxes and shipping.
This past weekend, I sat around as my crew pondered a new rotation of multiplayer and co-op games to play, but we won’t be able to play them until next weekend. Wanna know why? No one had any of the games installed because they all vehemently refuse to buy more hard drive space, and frankly, I’m just sick of it. I even yelled at them!
Seriously, don’t you get tired of deleting and redownloading the same games over and over again? It’s equally as maddening as those who spend hundreds of dollars per year on disposable batteries. If these words sting, it’s because truth hurts and you’re someone who hasn’t solved one of life’s most annoying recurring issues with a single purchase. With a 5TB Western Digital external hard drive for $100 at Amazon, you won’t feel bound by your digital storage shackles ever again. I promise.
Well, the Echo Dot is down to $30, which is $20 off the original list price of $50. There’s nothing else to really say besides fire up Alexa and listen to tunes without ever leaving your couch! Grab it before it’s gone.
Amazon’s Fire Stick 4K is a great little streaming dongle with all of the power of Alexa at its disposal, and it’s down to $30 on Amazon. This model gets you 4K-ready apps to watch all your favorite movies and shows in crisp detail. Not to mention, you get a year’s subscription to Food Network at no additional cost, which means you can learn new recipes and improve your cooking skills. Grab one of these before they’re gone!

Now’s your chance to snag Aukey’s 60W PD USB-C charger for just $20 when you use the offer code M5T6C7IM. There’s just the single USB-C port, but you can use it to charge smartphones, tablets, laptops, and more at the fastest speeds possible. There’s also a USB-A port supporting up to 2.4A charging speeds. It’s also travel friendly with a foldable plug. This deal won’t last long, so grab one ASAP if you’re in need.

I get it, it’s been really hard to keep up with fitness routines in this hellish year. But the exercise can really help your mood, even if it’s just a stroll outside, and a fitness tracker can motivate to get you moving. DailySteals has refurbished Fitbit Ones to help get you moving for the low price of $180. These little guys were discontinued a couple years ago but remain in surprisingly high demand, with used and refurbished versions listed for $200+ elsewhere.
The Fitbit One isn’t a fitness watch—instead, this one clips to your waistband. It’ll track your steps and whether or not you climbed stairs (look, stairs are tough), as well as monitor your sleep activity. Sleeping well is just as important to your health as exercising! So if you’re interested, grab one of these Ones before it’s too late.
This $90 tag on a Crucial BX500 1TB SSD is pretty sweet. If you don’t already have one, an SSD can substantially improve your PC’s overall performance. This 2.5-inch SATA block fits most modern laptops and desktops, so you can step into hard drive heaven no matter what you’re working with.
You might find yourself stocking up on games as our time in quarantine marches on. Eventually, you’ll run out of space, unless you stock up on enough storage to keep going. It’s pretty costly, but a 1TB microSD card should be able to hold you off for a while, and right now you can get this one from SanDisk for $190 off at B&H Photo.
I know none of us are taking flights right now, but you know what’s one of the worst things about them? Lots of noise when you’re trying to concentrate or sleep. It can be hell, especially on long flights. What if I told you that these Sony WH-1000XM3 headphones could block out the loud talking and babies crying? You’d say that’s worth the price of admission, right?
Well, you’re in luck, as Newegg has these headphones for just $227, or $51 off. In addition to true noise cancelling, this headset offers up to 30 hours of listening time between charges and a Quick Attention feature where you can quickly turn down the volume for conversation. It’s a nifty set of headphones!

Sure, your phone’s speakers might work in a pinch when you’re listening to your favorite podcast as you chop up tonight’s veggies, but there’s a better way to grace your ears. With even a basic bluetooth speaker, you can get better sound that’ll reach further than your phone could; you can finally get your shower tunes back. Sony’s SRS-XB12 won’t give you the best sound you can get, but at $20 off right now, its $40 price tag is tough to beat. Money’s tight for a lot of folks, so every penny counts, but it doesn’t hurt to get yourself something nice that’ll make quarantine at least slightly more bearable.
Gaming aficionados, I bring you a light-up gaming keyboard from Razer that’s only $100! Yes, that’s right, it’s a whole $70 off its original price of $170. It’s wired and is a switch keyboard with RGB lighting, so whatever game you’re playing will be dope. Nothing much to say, grab it and go now.
Right now, you can pick up a copy of The Outer Worlds for just $27, the going price for the Xbox One version at Amazon. The PS4 version isn’t available there, but Walmart has it for the same $27.
Eric Ravenscraft described it as a “mix of Fallout-style frontier survival with corporate satire creates a rich world that, even if it feels a little small, still makes for a satisfying way to spend a few dozen hours.”

For gaming mice, weight is an important factor that can make all the difference between game-changing ult and an embarrassing misplay. (We all know it wasn’t lag, man. Just fess up!) But all gamers aren’t created equal. If you prefer a lighter mouse, check out the Razer Viper, coming in at just 69g, and with a 16K optical sensor, your crosshairs will move like ice on tile. It’s just $50 at Amazon, which is even cheaper than you could find it this past Black Friday.

For every speed running Dark Souls master in the world, there are dozens like me who just can’t be arsed to contend with the game’s steep learning curve. Like, how am I supposed to know that Drogon is just chilling on a random ass bridge in the first five minutes of me gathering my bearings? And why are those red weirdos allowed to invade my game and make me consider retiring from my favorite lifelong hobby altogether? I get it. You’re awesome. Stop griefing me, losers! Oh, sorry, got off track: I think I might just try this Dark Souls board game instead, the expansions for which are now up to 25% off at Amazon.
I need a new PlayStation 4 headset, because of course a PC headset isn’t going to work with my gaming consoles. Nothing can be easy! I had a Turtle Beach headset a lonnngggg time ago in the age of the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, and that little bugger survived for years before just being incompatible with my newer technology. The Ear Force Recon 50P might be a cringey name, but I assume this headset is of the same quality, and works right out the box with your PS4 controller. It also works with the Xbox One controller with an adapter! At only $25, this seems like a solid buy.
Over at Walmart, you can get some of Nintendo’s popular first party titles for $50. Most gamers know that Nintendo games are slow to drop in price, so this is a pretty great deal! We’ve been seeing this $10 discount at other retailers, most notably Amazon, but Walmart has a few titles that are currently unique to them!
The recently released and super popular Animal Crossing: New Horizons is on that list. If you’ve been wondering what all the fuss was about, now’s your chance to give it a try! Super Smash Bros. Ultimate and Luigi’s Mansion 3 are also a part of that sale, and are both great games in their own right. Grab some copies before it’s too late!
Harkening back to the fidget spinner days, I see Speks as the natural evolution of the 2017 phenomenon. Similarly, it’s a magnetic ball toy meant for you to fidget with throughout your days now spent agonizing over job security and solitary confinement. Rather than biting your lip or anxiously bouncing your leg, the fidget toys are a healthy and fun way to cope when you’re stressed. You can mold them into various shapes and even pair ‘em with a second set, for more sculpting possibilities. They come in single- and multi-color variants including teal, rose gold, and “jazzercise.”
For a limited time, you can buy one set of Speks magnetic balls and get Unblocks—a comparable toy akin to magnetic Lincoln Logs—free (a $15 value) using the promo code FREEFUN. And remember, orders over $45 come with free shipping, so order a couple and save a few bucks on courier fees. Don’t sweat the small things, try Speks instead. Believe me, I have, and it works!
Friends of the pod will know how often I complain about living in a studio apartment with my partner and two pets amid this awful, awful pandemic. Recently, however, we started remodeling the place to open it up and bring it more sunlight. In the process of redecorating, we’re also introducing floating shelves and framed art to our walls, and I have to say: After living here for about a year and a half, it’s finally starting to feel like home.
Now that you’re hopefully spending more time there, cozy up and complete your dream house or apartment with gorgeous, scenic expressions from local creators or iconic artists with almost 40% off a 10-piece set of frames on Amazon. This deal won’t last long, so scoop it up while you still can.
With so much more in-home traffic to contend with, you’re probably tired of sweeping all the excess dirt and dust that’s accumulating. Let Anker help with its eufy Boost IQ 11S robot vacuum, which has roughly twice the power of its predecessor and sits on Newegg with a $41 off coupon right now using the promo code 93XPQ63. That brings it down to just $109, a solid deal for keeping your floors clean without much effort. It can go for over an hour and a half before needing to recharge, and you don’t even need to touch it for that—the little fella finds its own way to the charging base, thank you very much.
This deal was originally published by Quentyn Kennemer on 3/26/2020 and updated by Jordan McMahon with new information on 8/18/2020.
Smart locks are mighty convenient. Not only will you rid yourselves of incessant key-fumbling, you’ll also be able to set up guest profiles and give everyone their own unique codes. The Eufy Smart Lock touch is one of the most interesting takes o this concept, but before we talk about why, know that you can get one 24% off with a $30 Amazon coupon and exclusive promo code EUFYSL0817. Your total, then, is $190.
So, this thing uses your fingerprint for entry alongside the traditional numerical code. Unlike many other smart locks, however, the Eufy Smart Lock Touch keeps all its information on local storage. In fact, there’s absolutely no Wi-Fi connectivity or remote control whatsoever. There is Bluetooth, however. That’s why it’s the perfect product for security paranoids. It’s also sleek, easy to install, and will withstand the daily elements with an IP65 rating.
Ignacia’s BBQ ribs made me regret not making a Ninja Foodi my air fryer of choice. I love my Corsori smart fryer, but don’t make that mistake. The Ninja Foodi has grilling, air frying, roasting, baking, and dehydrating functions packed into one sleek unit. Today only, Amazon is offering one for your kitchen at a nice $160 price.
This is the smaller 4-quart model, which doesn’t have quite as many functions as Ignacia’s—it’s missing slow and pressure cooking—but for simpler needs, this’ll get you by just fine.
Let’s get cooking with an 11-piece Cuisinart cookware set. Available in red or black ceramic coating, this aluminum collection includes the following, each with their respective lids:
1x 10-inch Skillet
1x 1 Quart Saucepan with Lid
1x 2 Quart Saucepan with Lid
1x 3 Quart Saucepan with Lid
1x 3 Quart Saute with Lid
1x 6 Quart Sauce Pot with Lid
MorningSave has it all for $79.
While we’re not exactly having the most normal of ones this summer, those of you with access to private pools or isolated beaches are no doubt in need of new, fashionable swimwear. Believe me, I’ve been rocking the 80s-style Kmart trunks for years now, and these heavily discounted swim shorts at Huckberry appear to be just the antidote for my first-world woes.
Personally, I’m keen on this cactus-adorned swimsuit from Boardies. Another, more classic and subdued option are the Rhythm Vintage Palm trunks, which bear a muted vintage grey color scheme, perfect for blending in at the beach. If you’re partial to bolder, pastel designs, however, you’re in luck as the bright green Boardies Overlay shorts are like a tropical-theme episode of ZOOM on PBS from the 90s. And Howler Brothers’ Stretch Bruja boardshorts are like a watercolor tattoo for your legs that never fades.
Christmas in July, what not Christmas in August too? Exactly! Our wonderful pals at Bellesa want to give you a special gift for today only. Take 25%, 30%, and 40% off three very special hand-picked items.
First up at 25% off is the Air by Bellesa with code AIR25. This is a product the company routinely has sells out of. The Air uses Bellesa’s Cinetic Suction Technology and gives dual stimulation orgasms. No complaints from customers about how quickly the Air works for them.
Next, grab 30% off the Diosa vibrator just use the code DIOSA30. Offering blended orgasms at seven different vibe levels this beauty is every bit the deity it claims to be. Another customer favorite, it’s a smooth and soft touch. Its elegant design will definitely have you praising the goddess it’s named for.
And all this wouldn’t be possible without a good lube. This After Dark selection is available only at Bellesa and is 40% off with code LUBE40. It’s highly recommended if you’re weighing what you pay to what you get. It’s super slick and non-drying to ensure WAP throughout use. Free of fragrance and hypoallergenic this lubricant is a winner for sure.
Free shipping on orders over $29 and this deal will expire tonight.
If you’re often out in the elements, you’ll want a backpack that won’t let the living waters rush through to destroy all your precious technology, clothes, and other items, all of which can fit into this big 24L bag offered up by MorningSave for $39. It has roomy front and rear compartments, with enough space to fit a laptop, tablet, water bottles, batteries and smartphones, books and sanitizers, and more.
I’m so proud of you for still wearing a mask, it’s super cool of you. But do you need an upgrade or maybe something a little more heavy-duty? Or maybe you just want to put your mind at ease with something a smidge more protective? Grab five of the KN95 masks from MorningSave right now for just $15.
These are industry-standard which means they are supposed to filter 95 percent of particles. That is just about as good as you can get. So the mask obviously doesn’t completely eliminate the risk of catching or spreading something but if you wear it correctly it still drastically reduces the likelihood. These are also great if you’ve got severe allergies or asthma and protect against pollen, dander, and whatnot. The KN-95 isn’t made for clinical environments not that you’re performing surgery with these but they will definitely protect you and others against what is currently out there. Not all heroes wear capes, but they do wear masks. So thank you.
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’re bored at home without a bae, or want to spice up your sex life with bae, I have a sexy deal for you. The G-Spot Hero vibrator. Only $30 at Ella Paradis, and 10 speeds, it’ll take vagina-holders to higher heights over and over again. You’ll even get a cute little satin bag to store it after you’re finished. What are you waiting for? Great orgasms are only a click away.
Two times a year the Disney Store puts their fan favorites on sale for up to 40% off. It’s a curated selection of tees, accessories, costumes, home goods, and more. The whole family is covered. There are styles for men, women, kids, and even pets. All prices are as marked and the deal is expected to run until August 23.
Speaking of pets, there are a few chew toys to treat your furry best friend to. This Mickey Ice Cream Bar ($13) is one summer goodie Fido actually can enjoy. One thing Disney does very well is collectibles and mugs are certainly at the top of that list. The Tinkerbell Animation Mug ($10) is adorable and will fit right in with other classic faves in your coffee cup cluster. And you’ll never go wrong with adding a new fleece throw blanket to your living room or bedroom and this Mickey one ($16) is cozy and cute, plus you can customize it.
Free shipping on orders over $75.
“Liz I swear to God if you tell me it’s hot one more time I’ll murder you.” Fine, but you still pick up some super comfy shorts from JACHS NY. It’s their Summer Blowout sale, and their shorts are only $19 if you use ST19 at checkout. No reason to miss out on this one!
This sale includes their popular chino shorts, as well as some board shorts. Whatever style you prefer, grab some pairs before they sell out—because some already are!
Look I’m not going to pretend to know anything about modern anime. I’m too lazy to catch up on what’s good, so I just watch re-runs of American comedies instead. But for those that keep up with the popular releases, you’re in luck, because Amazon is having a sale on select anime blu-rays. They’re up to half off, which makes these expensive collections much more affordable.
Some of the standouts here are the newer Evangelion movies, the first season of Goblin Slayer, and seasons 1-3 of Attack on Titan. Those seem... cool! I haven’t watched them so they’re probably good! Or maybe definitely not and I’m digging a grave for myself for when the anime fans eviscerate me. Either way, grab whatever interests you before this sale ends.
Otakus will have you know that Akira is to manga what the Mona Lisa is to art, and you can catch up for $50 off at Amazon. The $150 total nets you six hardcover books, an Akira Club hardcover artbook with glossy pages, and an iron-on version of Kaneda’s iconic pill patch. Too bad there aren’t many Comic-Cons going on.

Oh yeah, give me all that sweet device convergence loving, baby. At MorningSave, there’s a three-pronged dream team combining a light, clock, and wireless charger in one convenient, sleek, and sexy little thingamajig for just $39. There’s a calendar and temperature readout, too.
While I’m partial to mechanical keyboards for gaming, a cheap membrane keyboard with this many features is still worth a quick crook and turn of the neck. Just $22 at SideDeal, this Accusor board features three-color RGB (red, blue, violet), six programmable macro buttons, nine multimedia functions, plus all the other boring keys you’ve come to know and love (and abuse, if you’re as heavy-handed as I am).
There’s even more, like three onboard profiles with a selector to allow on-the-fly switching, plus automatic game-specific profile loading if all of the above wasn’t enough convenience for you.
There’s no worse time to lose all your movies and tunes than when there’s not much else to do. There are lots of ways to remedy this, but having an external drive with plenty of space can give you some peace of mind by giving you a place to back everything up, and help you bring all your info with you everywhere without weighing down your bag. SanDisk’s 1TB Portable USB-C drive is down to $160 today at Best Buy.

Many of you threatened to cancel me when I disqualified the Bose Noise Cancelling Headphones 700 from our most recent headphones co-op since MSRP still sits around $350, noting that sales often bring this wireless audio sublimity in reach. This one that takes the Arctic White model down to $299. Please don’t cancel me. Kthxbai.

In Hello Neighbor, you take it upon your inquisitive adolescent curiosity to sneak into the house next door and figure out what’s hiding in his closely guarded basement, but the man of the house is home and you better not let him catch you. It’s a horror game that adapts to your tactics, the AI learning your behavior and changing its response up each time you go for the same tired tricks. The follow-up, Hello Neighbor: Hide and Seek, is even better, and since it’s a prequel, you can dive right in without having to play the original. Amazon has it for just $12 on Xbox One and PlayStation 4.
Washing your hands are important! All the time, but especially now! Why not up your hand-washing game with a touchless soap dispenser in your home? It’s more sanitary, and you can decide how much soap it dispenses, making sure people don’t use too much (or too little) when they wash up. You can get this handy doodad for just $23 if you use code 9R8MJ8LD at checkout. It’s a win-win!
It’s not really safe to go swimming in a public setting right now, what with a massive pandemic going on and places like beaches being a breeding ground for viruses at the best of times. Instead of risking COVID to cool down, why not grab an inflatable above ground pool the family can safely enjoy? At DailySteals, you can get an extra large inflatable pool for just $91 when you use the code KJPOOL at checkout. Not too shabby! If you’re missing the experience of sitting in some water this summer, this can be your solution.
If you need a pressure cooker, splurge a little with this chance to save on a Chefman XL 8-quart foodie reservoir, a stainless steel model featuring dozens of presets across the operations of pressure cooking, slow cooking, and steaming. .Your purchase comes with dishwasher safe accessories, too, including steam rack, basket, rice spoon, and ladle.
For a short time, you can get a whopping 20% discount on the Satisfyer Pro 2. It’s an oral sex simulator that will suck the shit out of your clitoris and has so many modes of pleasure. One of our writers, Jolie Kerr, says it best:
Satisfyer Pro 2 delivers a very specific experience; basically, it’s designed to stimulate the clit and nothing else, although you can certainly explore other areas with it. It is not, however, an insertable toy and should only be used externally.While it’s not an especially versatile toy, and doesn’t strike me as a great candidate for couples play, it is very, very good at what it does. Basically, if oral sex is the way you like to get off, Satisfyer Pro 2 will make you very, very happy.
The Satisfyer is only $52 with the promo code WELL so make sure you grab this and get off before it’s gone!
Sunday Scaries has earned high marks from outlets like Buzzfeed, PopSugar, and yes, The Inventory, for their accessible and HIGHLY relaxing, often vitamin-infused CBD products including the Gummies for Chillin’ and oil tincture (also for chillin’), both of which I’ve tried and happily endorse. But don’t take my word for it—for a limited time only, you too can feel the effects of “the remedy that makes life not so scary” and share ‘em with your partner(s), thanks to this exclusive discount for Kinja Deals readers.
$34, using the promo code SPSECRET50 automatically applied at checkout, nets you a 500mg tincture and 20 gummies delivered to your doorstep every month. While the discount only applies to your first purchase, I’m fairly confident you won’t be disappointed. The oil tincture in particular is, in my opinion, best paired with Sweet Honeydew tea from Stash and a dollop of unsalted butter to help it dissolve. Relieve the contention in your three-way relationship with a healthy dose of ingestible CBD while supplies last.
Cariuma is a company definitely making waves in the sustainability space. They’re dedicated to fighting against wasteful practices that are rampant in the fashion industry. David and Fernando, the founders, wanted to bring all that to the sneaker game and to create thoughtfully made shoes with cool comfort. Good-looking kicks consciously created with classic styles.
The company partnered with color giants Pantone to release a fall color line and it’s got cool classic written all over it. They all run under $100. The low tops come in five colors and I’m digging these Blueprint ones since the Pantone color of 2020 is Classic Blue. There are grey and black options available in the high-top version ($98) and definitely give off 90s vibes. These are sharp shoes and you’ll turn heads for sure and take a step towards more eco-conscious shopping.

Apparently left-handed people have better sex. As a right-handed person, I want to vehemently disagree, but science doesn’t lie. I guess we have one more thing to thank lefties for—this Kinja-Exclusive Lefties Vibrator bundle at Ella Paradis. Usually $102, it’s now $39, no code needed. The bundle includes a Better Love G-Spot vibrator, a satin toy bag, and a bottle of lube to keep things ... slippery. I’d grab this bundle and get off with your favorite lefty right now.


theroot--2020-08-18--Watch: Black Republican Reboots The Wire to Explain How Democrats Ruined Baltimore

My grandmother once said : “ If you don ’ t have something nice to say , don ’ t say anything.
” That ’ s why I learned how to write .
The Root is often accused of being biased in favor of progressive politics ( Confession : We are biased toward progressive politics ) , but today , we ’ d like to display some bipartisan goodwill by discussing a political ad for Republican candidate Kimberly Klacik ( pronounced “ Hoo-giv-suhf-uhck ” ) .
Klacik ( whose middle name is not Kardashian ... but probably ) is well-known @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ t display enough self-hate .
She is a Trump-supporting conservative zealot who tweets messages like this : A member of a prominent political family ( Her grandfather Stephen was was the first house negro in charge of an entire plantation while Klacik ’ s Uncle Ruckus briefly served on the board of the Homeowners Association in Woodcrest , Ill. ) , Klacik is also running for the Maryland congressional seat formerly held by the late Rep. Elijah Cummings ( D-Heaven ) .
In an attempt to show how the absolute worst part @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , Klacik recently released an ad of her walking through the now- abandoned Hamsterdam set used on HBO ’ s hit show , The Wire .
The Root decided to break down Tomika Lauren ’ s guided tour of the sunken place to prove our nonpartisanship .
Also , we wanted to help Terry Crews find his long-lost daughter .
Clad in a MAGA-red dress from the designers at Fashionigga , Klacik click-clacks through the worst part of the Baltimore .
It ’ s obvious that no one lives in this crime-ridden area @ @ @ @ @ @ @ niece wants you to believe is overrun with gangsters who suddenly skedaddled when a real boss bish showed up ( I ’ m not insinuating that she ’ s a gangsta .
I ’ m just saying that she obviously has a connect who can get hair extensions straight off the boat before they reach the inventory of Sally ’ s Beauty Supply ) .
Also , who doesn ’ t “ want you to see this ?
” How did she get in ?
“ They ” are doing a very poor @ @ @ @ @ @ @ this if Matt Gaetz ’ s adoptive daughter can waltz down the street in broad daylight with a whole-ass camera crew .
Snoop and Chris Partlow would never allow this fuckery in Stanfield territory .
Baltimore ’ s been run by the Democrat Party for 53 years .
What is the result of their decades of leadership ?
Baltimore is one of the top five most dangerous cities in America .
The murder rate in Baltimore is 10 times the U.S. average .
The Baltimore poverty rate is over 20 percent .
Homicide @ @ @ @ @ @ @ our seat .
Do you believe Black lives matter ?
I do .
The vast majority of crime in Baltimore is perpetrated against Black people who make up 60 percent of the population .
So why don ’ t we care about our communities ?
Wait ...
The Democrats are killing people in B ’ more and taking jobs ?
Notice that Bizarro Sarah Palin doesn ’ t mention how all those Black people got herded into Baltimore ’ s bad neighborhoods by redlining and Jim Crow .
She probably doesn ’ t @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the liberal agenda .
Isn ’ t Maryland ’ s governor a Republican , though ?
And what was a civic leader like KK-and-Probably-Another-K doing while all this crime-ing was going on ?
How did she let her hood get this way ?
Oh , wait .
According to the Baltimore Sun , Blackface Tomi Lauren doesn ’ t even live in Baltimore .
She probably lives out there with Tommy Carcetti ‘ nem .
The Democrat Party has betrayed the Black people of Baltimore at the politicians walk the streets like I @ @ @ @ @ @ @ their policies and corruption affects that , but they don ’ t want you to see it .
Go to any Baltimore neighborhood and ask this question : “ Do you want to defend the police ?
” Black man : No , no , absolutely not .
I had three sons killed in Baltimore city and I think if we ’ d be funded the police office for me , worse than that .
So no I ’ m opposed to that .
Another Black person : What are you going to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ How do you defend your city ?
Your community families are losing people .
See ?
She conducted a scientific poll of four-to-five actual Black people .
So that settles it .
Of course , KKK didn ’ t mention all of the corruption in the city ’ s police department .
Maybe she just wants to defund the part of the department that bought toy guns for the cops to plant after they shot an unarmed person .
Or maybe she wants to defund the millions of dollars of taxpayer money spent @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Or perhaps this is all a ploy by Omar Little to flip the city ’ s money in the underground weave market .
It seems to have worked well for Kimmy .
She thinks white people vote for Republicans because they are smart and not because they are white .
But , apparently , Black people , Latinx people and every other demographic in America aren ’ t voting for their own interests because they ’ re too dumb to know that the Republican Party is the best party .
Aside from @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the only thing Kim Klacik could teach anyone is how to step while simultaneously fetching ( She did earn her Ph.D. in fine arts from the Trump Graduate School of Shucking and Jiving ) .
Where is Brother Muzone when you need him ?

'We Don't Talk About This at Home': Taraji P. Henson Gets Real About Our Mental Health at The Root Institute

In 2005 , I was diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder while staying at UCLA ’ s medical center in Los Angeles for several weeks over Christmas .
Back then , to me , the severity of my diagnosis was already scary , but what was even scarier ?
Feeling I was alone .
“ We don ’ t talk about this at home , ” said actress Taraji P. Henson to The Root Institute , describing the reality for many African Americans , who often , as I did , felt they are alone in their grappling with psychological pain .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ to feel alone in this fight .
It ’ s why the therapy advocate started the Boris Lawrence Henson Foundation , a nonprofit focusing on the mental health of the black community .
“ We suffocating as a people , ” said actress Taraji P. Henson , explaining why she had to get out front and get talking about her therapy journey in order to help others also struggling with mental health issues .
From turning off the news and social media as “ self-care ” to grappling with generational trauma , check @ @ @ @ @ @ @ if something is too much , step away , step away , for your own strength , ” says Henson .


theroot--2020-08-18--Big Beauty Tuesday: Will the Supreme x Pat McGrath Collab Deliver the Most Iconic Red Lipstick Yet?

There is little to be found in the way of pick-me-ups during these dark days , but if there ’ s one beauty staple that reliably turns this writer ’ s frown upside down , it ’ s red lipstick .
So imagine how wide I ’ m grinning at the news that my favorite makeup maven , Pat McGrath has teamed up with legendary streetwear brand Supreme on an upcoming collection that will be , as she told Vogue : “ An iconic red , embodied in the ultimate matte lipstick.
” At the risk of sounding risqué ( @ @ @ @ @ @ @ : Put it on my mouth .
Now .
Granted , I was never much of a Supreme stan ( no shade—though I already want this shade ) , but I was a decades-long resident of New York City , which means I know all too well what McGrath means when she says : “ New York is synonymous with Supreme—when you hear the name , you automatically envision their signature white-on-red palette.
” The collaboration will be the label ’ s first beauty collaboration—and where can they possibly go from here ?
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ has yet to be announced , McGrath teased the upcoming “ Supreme ” shade of her much-beloved MatteTrance formula for Vogue , which reported : “ The cool blue-red is housed in McGrath ’ s now-iconic gold bullet emblazoned with a set of gold lips , and punctuated by Supreme ’ s red-box-and-white-lettering logo.
” Yeah ...
I ’ d stand in line for this—and you can sign up for updates at Pat McGrath Labs .
But if you ’ re in the mood for a little instant gratification ( as I always @ @ @ @ @ @ @ got some new shades on their roster , too .
Honestly , I ’ ve been so wrapped up in the release of Fenty Skin , I almost forgot about all the pretty face paints Rihanna makes to go on top .
In fact , since her Stunna Lip Paint in “ Uncensored ” might soon be unseated as my favorite red lip color ( though still in my top 5 ) , the arrival of a ripe-for-fall burgundy called “ Underdawg ” is perfectly timed—this may the wine I ’ ve been @ @ @ @ @ @ @ course , with face masks being our accessory of choice for the foreseeable future ( and actually feeling more wearable in fall weather ) , it ’ s going to be all about the eyes , and Rih ’ s got us covered , there , too , dropping a series of autumnal-hued mascaras that have me feeling like Fenty betta have my money so I can get my hands on these—in addition to her 20 shades of Flypencil , ProKiss ’ r balms and Snapshadows .
But if we ’ re talking @ @ @ @ @ @ @ brand that has my heart this Big Beauty Tuesday : as an avowed eyeshadow aficionado ( no , seriously ; it ’ s in my bio ) , I pride myself on my extensive collection of pigments—and I have a new fave .
After months of stalking the long-awaited restock of the cult-favorite Oceanic Palette at Ace Beauté ( for the record , it ’ s pronounced “ Ace boo-té ” —which is coincidentally also how we pronounce “ Big Beauty Tuesdays ” at The Root ) , I found myself going for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the Flair Palette and new Nostalgia Palette , as well .
( Don ’ t judge me , I ’ m a beauty editor—speaking of which , can I write this off ? )
At $ 38.99 each ( $ 69 for an Oceanic/Nostalgia bundle ) , these will neither be the cheapest nor priciest pigments in your beauty arsenal—but bay-bee ... do these pigments pay off—and the color collections are gorgeous !
I ’ m currently plotting to purchase them all ; thankfully , they ’ re as beautiful on the outside @ @ @ @ @ @ @ so my beauty drawer will likely soon look like this .
But we all know it ’ s what ’ s underneath that counts—which is why I ’ ve got my eye on Exa , a new makeup line that recently launched with the 43-shade range “ High Fidelity Foundation ” ( $ 38 ) ; proving the Fenty Effect is now an industry standard .
Exa is the in-house brand of Credo Beauty , which , while not Black-owned , prioritizes clean beauty and high-quality product lines , including partnering with Venus @ @ @ @ @ @ @ sunscreen line back in May .
I ’ ve yet to try Exa , but it ’ s already got O Magazine ’ s vote for best foundation of 2020 , so it ’ s only a matter of time—I ’ ll report back when I do .
Do you want more ?
Well , Big Beauty Tuesday will take a break next week ( plus I ’ ve got some shopping to do ! )

theroot--2020-08-18--Can the NCAA Survive Financially If March Madness Is Canceled Again? Coach K Doesn't Sound Too Sure

I ’ m sure you ’ ve heard this before—more than likely here at The Root—but the NCAA is big business for everybody but Black players .
And when I say big business , I mean it ’ s been generating over a billion dollars annually since 2016 , between television and marketing rights fees and ticket sales .
Yet as lucrative of a business venture as it is to exploit student-athletes , where the NCAA really gets its Jeff Bezos on is with March Madness .
Acutely aware of this fact is legendary Duke c oach Mike Krzyzewski , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ t sure that the NCAA can survive another cancell ation of March Madness in the spring after the three-week tournament was already shuttered earlier this year due to the coronavirus .
“ We ’ re the thing that the NCAA is most concerned about because men ’ s college basketball and the tournament [ ... ] produces 98 % or more of the money for the NCAA , ” Coach K said Tuesday on ESPN Radio ’ s Keyshawn , JWIll & Zubin .
“ We need to have the tournament .
We @ @ @ @ @ @ @ years in a row you don ’ t have the NCAA tournament.
” Considering that its cancellation reportedly cost the NCAA more than $ 375 million alone , Coach K might be on to something .
But appearing on the same show , Kentucky coach John Calipari offered the NBA ’ s blueprint as a solution .
“ Do we go and play the Champions Classic in a bubble without fans and we play each other ?
” Calipari asked .
“ We all play each other , round-robin .
You walk away @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in a bubble or a pod Kentucky-Louisville or Michigan State with three ‘ buy games ’ ?
Detroit , where my son plays , Murray State and East Tennessee State with us and we play a round-robin so that we can get the buy games where those teams really need that money ?
We can do that .
Do we do it that way ?
Is the NCAA tournament in a bubble ?
” For his part , the NCAA ’ s senior vice president of basketball , Dan Gavitt , revealed that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ place on Monday and that a decision will be made on the upcoming basketball season by mid-September .
The season is currently scheduled to begin on November 10 .
According to ESPN , those contingency plans could include replicating the NBA ’ s bubble method or deploying replacement teams in order to circumvent any positive tests for COVID-19 .
And despite the risks , Coach K is cool without whatever allows players to hit the court and compete .
“ Make sure you have the tournament .
It doesn ’ t make any @ @ @ @ @ @ @ said .
“ Because we don ’ t even know when the NBA season is going to be next year .
And we should look at them to see how they navigate the waters going forward .
They ’ ve navigated them really well with the bubble.
” College basketball has far fewer players and moving parts than football does , so expect the NCAA to figure this shit out and still allow Krzyzewski and Calipari to count their multi-million dollar salaries at the bank .

I’m sure you’ve heard this before—more than likely here at The Root—but the NCAA is big business for everybody but Black players.
