As a writer for NBC Select, I cover major shopping events like Prime Day, Black Friday and Cyber Monday.

Every product below is highly rated, at least 20% off and at its lowest price in the last three months. This list will be updated frequently throughout Prime Day.

I started adding these scent boosting beads to my laundry about a year ago and was instantly obsessed. They make my clothes smell so fresh and clean — plus a little goes a long way, so a bottle lasts a while. They come in seven scents and you just shake a capful of beads into your wash and they dissolve, leaving behind a pleasant scent. Procter & Gamble, the company that owns Downy, has publicly stated that it will raise prices due to tariffs.
This Swiffer kit gives you five dry pads to sweep floors and six wet pads to mop. The actual sweeper device has a collapsible pole for easy storage and a head that swivels up and down for better cleaning, according to the brand.
This portable speaker plays audio that is balanced, clear and has a deep bass, according to the brand. It has a 12-hour battery life and uses Bluetooth to pair with devices up to 30 feet away and can pair with multiple devices at once.
Hate when your earbuds run out of juice? These wireless earbuds offer up to 36 hours of battery life, according to the brand. You can pair them with the Skillcandy app to fine-tune your audio experience. These earbuds are also water-resistant, thanks to an IPX4 rating.
This toaster oven can double as an air fryer and is large enough to bake up to 20 cookies or roast a 12-pound turkey, according to the brand. You can cook on two levels inside the oven, and it has settings to bake, roast, air fry, reheat, dehydrate and toast. Along with the actual appliance, you get two wire racks, two baking sheets, a roast tray and an air fry basket.
This 6-quart pressure cooker can steam, saute, slow cook, bake, sous vide, warm or sterilize — or be used as a rice cooker or yogurt maker. It also has a delay start function, which allows you to set a future cooking time up to 24 hours in advance. The lid and inner pot are dishwasher-safe, as is the steaming rack.
These strips are an NBC Select Wellness Awards winner and one of our favorite whitening strip options. This box comes with 22 treatments. The no-slip strips keep them secure on your teeth, even if you want to talk or drink water while wearing them.

Save £100 on 'game changer' wireless earbuds with near-perfect rating and 'fantastic sound'
These sports earbuds fit snugly thanks to their earhooks and are a 'game changer' for workouts. Wireless earbuds have become a part of daily life for many of us. Whether that's heading for a stroll, commuting to work, or, for the more fitness -minded, heading for a run or hitting the gym. The Bluetooth connectivity means there's no faffing about with wires, which makes them extra handy. Big name brands have some of the top products, like the Apple AirPods, but these come with a hefty price tag. Thankfully, over on Amazon, the Hupoaf Wireless Earbuds are enjoying an 82 per cent discount. Dropping from £129.99 to just £23.99, you can currently save over £100 on these "game changer" products. It should be noted that this deal is exclusive to Prime members. The Hupoaf Wireless Earbuds offer "crystal clear calls", according to Amazon, thanks to their Hi-Fi stereo surround sound and upgraded Bluetooth 5.4 technology. They boast up to 50 hours of playtime, thanks to the portable charging case, which handily lets you know your battery percentage. These earbuds have been designed for fitness with a "soft and flexible" earhook structure to fit snugly around your ears without falling out. Thanks to their comfort and stability, as well as being waterproof, they are a great choice for running or workouts. There are three colourways to choose from; black, rose gold, and pink - though the latter two are £24.99. Each earbud has multi-function touch panels to allow you to easily take calls or change the volume, and they are super lightweight at just 6g. For those looking at the higher end of the scale, Apple's AirPods Pro 2 are currently £229 on Argos, where they boast a 4.8-star rating from over 1,400 reviews. Shoppers after a more budget-friendly can pick up Cillso's Wireless Earbuds on Amazon for £19.99. They come in four colours and, like the Hupoaf earbuds, are currently enjoying a hefty price cut. Customers have raved over the Hupoaf Wireless Earbuds, which have a near-perfect 4.9-star rating on Amazon. One user said: "These wireless sports earphones are a real game changer for my workout. "The earhook design is brilliant — they fit securely no matter how hard I work out, which was a big problem with other earphones. The sound quality is fantastic, with clear sound and just the right bass to motivate me." Another shopper described them as "a fantastic choice for anyone looking for reliable, high-quality headphones for workouts or daily use." They added: "The earhooks provide a secure fit, even during intense activities, and the IP7 waterproof rating ensures they hold up against sweat and rain. "The sound quality is impressive, delivering clear audio and strong bass, while the dual LED display makes it easy to keep track of the battery level. Overall, these earbuds offer great value for anyone who needs durable and comfortable wireless headphones for running, gym, or everyday use." The earbuds have proved so popular that there are only a handful of three or four-star reviews, and nothing below that. A couple of otherwise satisfied customers did mention that the sound wasn't quite as good as the big brands. Tech deal of the week Shoppers keen to take their fitness to the next level would benefit from purchasing a smartwatch. One of which is on the popular Jugeman Smartwatch. Normally retailing for £99.99, shoppers can now snap up this 4.8 star rated gadget with the pink strap for only £22.79 in a limited time deal. Boasting a 1.92-inch HD touch screen, shoppers can truly make this smartwatch their own as it comes with over 220 personalised watch faces to choose from. Featuring an ultra lightweight design to provide a comfortable and relaxed fit, the smartwatch will monitor your heart rate throughout the day as well as analyse your sleep. On top of this, the budget watch can track over 113 sports and monitor how many calories you have burned. Shoppers will also be able to use a range of other features, such as music control, weather forecast, find my phone, as well as receive calls, texts and social media notifications One delighted shopper said: "I'm genuinely impressed with this smartwatch! It looks sleek and modern, and the bright display is easy to read even in daylight. The features are exactly what I need fitness tracking, notifications, heart rate monitoring, and more. "The orange strap adds a fun and sporty touch, and it's surprisingly comfortable to wear all day. Setup was quick and straightforward, and the battery life is better than expected. For the price, this watch offers outstanding value. Highly recommended for anyone looking for an affordable yet high-quality fitness tracker!" To buy the Jugeman Smartwatch, click HERE. One such review read: "Since they are headphones for less than £25, don't expect TOP sound quality. It lacks clarity, it sounds a little dirty; having said that, of course, they sound very good considering the price." Someone else rated the sound a 8/10, saying they were "perfect for sports use" but that users shouldn't "expect studio audio". Another five-star reviewer raved about using the earbuds for exercise. They said: "A lightweight pair of earbuds that loop over the ears is reassuring for jogs, intense sports, or random house chores. After many uses, the fit never caused soreness, and they slip back into the case for a quick recharge." To get the Hupoaf Wireless Earbuds for just £23.99, click HERE.

Hisense 50 Inch A6KTUK TV, £279 (was £499) BUY FROM AMAZON Amazon often has the best prices on TV deals - providing you're willing to do a bit of searching and scrolling.

This Hisense 50-inch A6KTUK TV has now dropped firmly into budget territory, thanks to Amazon's hefty discount. Not too long ago, a 50-inch TV was considered massive. These days, it's more of a middleweight, especially compared to some of the 65-inch and 75-inch beasts on the market. But remember: bigger doesn't always mean better. It's about finding the right size for your space – if you're not sure, check out our guide on what size TV to buy. The A6KTUK TV isn't overflowing with premium features like OLED or QLED screen tech, but it's got everything you need in a solid smart TV.

Expect crisp colours and deep blacks that'll make whatever you're watching come to life. Dolby Vision and Pixel Tuning work together to keep your picture quality sharp and detailed.

There's even a handy Share-to-TV function, letting you mirror your device or share specific media on the big screen without any fuss. We in the Sun Shopping team haven't tested this Hisense 50 Inch 0A6KTUK TV for ourselves. But it's racked up nearly 1,500 five-star reviews on Amazon, with shoppers rating its reliability, sharp picture, and unbeatable value. One reviewer raved: 'Smooth, sharp, and reliable. Got this Hisense TV for my parents as a Christmas gift, and two years later - it's still going strong. "Shockingly smooth OS, dare I say smoother than my £1,500 OLED Samsung.' Another wrote: 'Fantastic price compared with more well-known brands. "Easy to set up, great picture, decent sound. I'd rate it against any of the more expensive brands.' At just £279, the Hisense 50-inch 0A6KTUK TV is a pretty big telly at a pretty small price. The 43-inch set is also on sale for £256 instead of £429, but honestly, it's the 50-inch model that's the real bargain. If you've got the space for it, go for this one.

Kleenex tissue maker Kimberly-Clark's quarterly sales jump on strong demand
Aug 1 (Reuters) - Kimberly-Clark (KMB.O), opens new tab on Friday posted a rise in second-quarter organic sales, led by steady demand for products such as Huggies diapers and Kleenex tissues in domestic and international markets. The Dallas-based firm has broadened its portfolio to offer products from budget to premium price tiers, in an effort to capture demand across income levels and combat competition from rivals such as Procter & Gamble (PG.N), opens new tab. The company has also been streamlining its business to control costs and drive growth in more profitable brands. In June, it struck a $3.4 billion deal to sell a majority stake in its international tissue business to Brazilian pulp maker Suzano ( opens new tab. Organic sales for the quarter ended June 30 was up 3.9%, driven by a 5% growth in overall volumes offsetting a 1.2% decline in prices from last year. Net sales from continuing operations, which exclude the divested unit, came in at $4.16 billion, down 1.6% from last year. It also posted earnings of $1.92 per share. Analysts were expecting $1.67 per share, according to data compiled by LSEG. In April, Kimberly-Clark warned of $300 million in additional costs this year, primarily due to U.S. President Donald Trump's levies on China that have since come down to a 10% level. It now expects adjusted earnings per share attributable for 2025 to grow at a low- to mid-single-digit rate, compared with an earlier forecast for flat-to-positive growth on a constant-currency basis. The profit forecast continues to include the International Family Care and Professional business until the close of the joint venture deal with Suzano in mid-year 2026, Kimberly-Clark said.
