Stanley price matches Amazon with huge 40% off Quencher deal
With warmer days finally here and the occasional heatwave battering the UK, it's hard to go anywhere without seeing a Stanley tumbler or dupe. Stanley cups have taken the hydration world by storm, becoming the must-have accessory for everyone from gym fanatics to commuters.
While the hype is real, so is the price tag, and fans of the iconic brand are always on the lookout for discounts on its usual £45 price tag. Amazon slashed the price of 1.2L Stanley Quenchers to £27 in three select colours before the weekend, causing a flurry of shoppers.
The deal soon went from in stock to having a waitlist of '1-3 months' and has now been removed completely, although Amazon is offering slight discounts on certain hues, with the best value option currently being a cheery Plum colour currently reduced to £32.
However, shoppers who missed out can now snag the mugs, in an even wider choice of discounted colours, direct from the Stanley website as part of the brand's huge mid-season sale. Five different colours have been reduced to £27 for the event, including Chilli red, Blue Spruce, Iris, Fuchsia pink and deep Plum. What's more, because they are buying direct, shoppers can even get free engraved personalisation on any Stanley they buy, including sale items, throughout July.
Known for its impressive durability and sleek, modern (often giant) look, the Stanley Quencher isn't just a viral sensation; it's a functional flask that can keep drinks ice-cold for up to two days.
Thanks to Stanley's trusted vacuum insulation, water stays cold for 11 hours or up to 48 hours if you pack it with ice. This makes the vessel ideal for long commutes, gym sessions and road trips.
Alternatively, shoppers are loving the Thermos Thermocafe Tumbler from Argos for £13, which features a lock lid, which means fewer accidental spills. The YETI Rambler (£20) is also another top choice for spill-free drinks this summer.
Meanwhile, the Stanley Quencher is constructed from 90% recycled stainless steel, with this extra-large tumbler is designed with sustainability in mind. What really sets the Flowstate lid apart is its 3-position functionality, meaning it can be sipped with the included straw, switched to a wider opening for pouring, or kept semi-covered for splash-resistant use.
In reviews for the Stanley Quencher online, one person shared: I have waited too long to get one of these. I had a cheap knock off version at one point, but it was not as functional or as good quality as the original and best.
"The size is perfect for a decent drink that will last me all day at work, and it stays lovely and cold and never leaks. I simply cannot fault it."
Another happy review read: "Fabulous, it keeps water cold overnight and is great for long journeys." A third shopper said: "Honestly, I love it! Lives up to the claims.
"I filled it with iced water and put it on my bedside table in case I woke up in the night needing a drink. The next morning, it was still icy, even after it had spent the night in a warm room."
However, one reviewer noted: "I was completely 'influenced' to jump on the bandwagon and buy this. I'm happy with my purchase, it does keep drinks cold for a long time, but in the grand scheme of things - it's just a cup."
While Stanley tumblers are notoriously on the pricier side, their cult status means they rarely stay in stock, especially when discounted. The £27 deal is only available on selected colours in the Stanley sale, which is live now.

Here's why Target is ending its long-running ‘price matching' policy this month
Target stores won't match the prices of competitors including Amazon and Walmart after July 28 the retail chain has announced. "We've found our guests overwhelmingly price match Target and not other retailers, which reflects the great value and trust in pricing consumers see across our assortment and deals," a Target spokesperson told ABC News. The policy, introduced in 2013, allowed customers to buy items in Target stores at reduced prices if they were being sold for less on or at Amazon or Walmart. Under the new policy, the price match will only apply to lower-priced items on according to the company. Target's policy was an industry first as brick-and-mortar chains faced increasing low-price competition from online retailers. Neil Saunders, a retail analyst at the research and analytics firm GlobalData, said the change was a sign of Target's continued financial challenges. "Target's profitability and margins have weakened over recent years, and if it wants to invest more in stores, then it needs to be more financially disciplined," he told USA TODAY. "Ending price matching helps to achieve this, especially at a time when costs are rising because of tariffs. That said, this is only one part of the puzzle and there is a lot more Target needs to do to bolster its bottom line." In May, the company missed Wall Street expectations and announced sales were down 2.8 percent in the first quarter, and had declined compared with the same period in 2024. Target, along with some of its competitors, have faced financial headwinds including uncertainty over the Trump administration's on-again, off-again tariff regime, rising inflation, as well as multiple consumer boycotts in the wake of the company's decision to align with the priorities of the new administration and end some of its diversity initiatives. Target competitors such as Best Buy retain a price match offer while Amazon and Walmart do not.

Amazon issues warning to 200M customers over Prime scam
Amazon says scammers are tricking Prime users into giving up their passwords and payment details pretending to be Amazon itself, and they are getting better at it. The company alerted users after a sharp increase in fake emails and phone calls targeting its 200 million customers in July, just after their Prime Day sales event. Amazon sent an email warning customers that scammers are posing as the company and claiming their Prime membership will be renewed at a higher price unless they cancel it immediately. Once users click on the 'cancel' link in the email, it will lead them to a fake Amazon login page, where users hand over their passwords without realizing it. With these stolen credentials, scammers can access the real accounts and make purchases using any credit cards saved in the victim's information. Amazon also said that the fraudsters were calling people and claimed someone had just ordered an iPhone on their account, then asking for login credentials to 'fix the error.' According to Amazon's blog, one user said: 'I got a random call from someone who claimed I bought something on Amazon that I had not, and they wanted my account information to verify this was an error.' Amazon said it has already taken down more than 55,000 phishing websites and 12,000 scam phone numbers this year alone, but warns that criminals are constantly changing tactics. These scams intensified ahead of Amazon's Prime Day sales event from July 8 to July 11, and have continued since then, targeting membership renewals with the latest scam. Experts warned that scammers are pulling information from the dark web , including Prime users' real names or addresses, to make the fake emails look legitimate. Malwarebytes, a cybersecurity company, reported that the fake domains used in the attacks include the site which looks almost identical to the real Amazon login page. Amazon said no one is immune to these scams and there is no shame in being targeted, but knowing what to look for can make all the difference. 'We have recently noticed an increase in customers reporting fake emails about Amazon Prime membership subscriptions,' the company wrote in an urgent email warning to customers. In the message , Amazon shared six tips to help users protect themselves and outlined steps to take if they think they have been targeted. Specifically, the email urged customers not to click any links, warning that scammers use these fake sites to steal login details and banking information. For hackers, these phony pages allow them to monitor everything the victim types in and save it, without the Prime user ever knowing they weren't typing on a legitimate Amazon website. Amazon also advised customers to check their Prime membership under the 'Prime' menu by opening the Amazon app or by visiting the website directly. The new email warning recommended monitoring bank statements for questionable charges if any suspicious links were clicked, and to report strange messages to To protect against scams, Amazon said always access its site through the official app or by visiting on a web browser. They reminded customers to verify if a message is real by checking the Message Center under 'Your Account,' where legitimate Amazon messages appear. Amazon also recommended enabling two-step verification, a setting that adds an extra layer of protection when logging in to your account, typically by sending an access code to the legitimate user's phone or email. You can turn it on by going to the Login & Security settings in your Amazon account, or by visiting on a web browser. The company said it will never ask for payments over the phone, by email, or on third-party sites. Scammers often create a false sense of urgency to rush victims, claiming accounts are in danger or money is owed. Another warning sign is being asked to buy a gift card in order to make a payment. Amazon said it will never ask for gift card payments, and any demand for them is a scam. They cautioned against calling numbers sent in texts, emails, or found through online searches, and said it never asks customers to download software to connect with support. The company has been working with the Better Business Bureau to help people check for scams by offering a Scam Tracker tool. This tool lets users search and report scam messages by email, phone number, or website link. Amazon also says it has thousands of people working full time around the world to protect its platform. That includes fraud investigators, software engineers, and machine learning scientists. The company encouraged shoppers to stick to the official Amazon app or website when looking for deals, buying items, or checking order history. Amazon found an 80 percent spike during Prime Day 2024 in a specific impersonation scam in the US, where fraudsters pretended there was a problem with a customer's account to trick them into sharing personal information. In November, the company found that 94 percent of global impersonation scams came through email, text messages, or phone calls. Two-thirds of those scams focused on fake account issues.
