Best Amazon deals this week: I spent hours combing through sales and found savings of up to 80%

Yahoo01-05-2025
Every so often, current events pierce our happy little category-assessing, roundup-compiling, bargain-hunting bubble here at Yahoo. This is one of those times, as we (and, well, everyone) are concerned about the effects of the tariffs being levied on goods produced beyond our shores — i.e., angsty that consumers may be looking at some serious price hikes down the road. However, even if that were to happen, we're not there yet; we're in a kind of grace period, which means it's an especially good time to snap up the best Amazon deals on offer this week.
Top Amazon deals
Apple AirPods 4 for $100 (was $129): All-time low
Fiskars Bypass Pruning Shears for $10 (was $21): Over 50% off
iRobot Roomba Robot Vacuum & Mop for $100 (was $275): Nearly 65% off
New Apple iPad, 11-inch for $299 (was $349): All-time low
Cozsinoor Bed Pillows, Queen, 2-Pack for $25 (was $120): Nearly 80% off
Amazon Fire TV Stick HD for $18 (was $35): All-time low
One thing that's definitely coming our way is backyard movie nights — making this a great time to snag this iPhone mini projector, which is marked down by more than 60%. What you're not going to want in the coming months? A smoky, overheated kitchen. Time to grab this cool indoor grill from Ninja — and save $110. Speaking of overheating, some breathable, 100% organic-cotton sheets will help keep those night sweats at bay, and a queen-size set is down to just $28 (over 50% off).
PS: Another "tariffic" strategy to keep in mind going forward? Buy U.S.-made products!

Everything you need to know about Labor Day 2025, according to our deals expert

Labor Day is just under a month away, and the early deals are already rolling in. If there's one thing we can count on alongside get-togethers with friends and family during the upcoming holiday weekend, it's that fresh batches of deals will keep pouring in. Just about every retailer under the sun will be getting in on the savings too. So, whether you're a dedicated Amazon shopper or like to spend your cash elsewhere — think Best Buy, Target, REI and Wayfair — you'll find some of the season's best deals. Until the holiday weekend arrives, we're counting down to the shopping event with all the info you need to know and even some early deals. Apple 13-Inch MacBook Air M4 On top of heralding the end of summer, Labor Day also kicks off back-to-school season. Leading the pack on all of these early deals, a $200 discount on our pick for the best laptop couldn't have landed at a better time. It's an all-time low price that makes the newest MacBook Air an even better recommendation for bringing to the classroom this fall semester and our review Five Star Spiral Notebook, 6-Pack Speaking of gear you'll need in the classroom, this pack of notebooks from Five Star is down to a record-low price on Amazon. Just $18 gets you six ways to take notes in class (or maybe even doodle a bit). Each one has a different color, so you can color-code notebooks to their specific subjects. Patagonia Nano Puff Jacket This packable jacket is always at the top of our list of buys as we head into cooler weather. After all, there's a reason why it's one of Patagonia's signature pieces of outerwear, and we love it even more at 30% off in men's and women's styles. It features a lightweight design that will keep you warm as temperatures begin dropping after Labor Day. Weber Spirit EP-325 3-Burner Propane Grill If your backyard could use an upgrade before that Labor Day weekend party, this Weber grill is seeing an end-of-season discount of $100. This is one of the lowest prices our deals expert has tracked on this three-burner upgrade to your grilling setup. Aquasonic Black Series Ultra Whitening Toothbrush Making the switch to an electric toothbrush doesn't have to cost a fortune. This affordable one from Aquasonic is even more so now that Amazon is taking 40% off. With eight brush heads and a travel case, this set comes with everything you'll need for over two years of brushing with this toothbrush's multiple settings. Dyson V8 Absolute Vacuum Clean up after the Labor Day weekend get-together comes to an end with this V8 Absolute Dyson vacuum. It comes with a lightweight design, a solid battery life and all the other bells and whistles you'd expect from the brand. Save $160 on the vacuum. Hoka Women's Arahi 7 Running Shoes Step into a new pair of kicks this fall now that Dick's Sporting Goods is offering this pair of Hoka running shoes at their best price of the year. Various colors and sizes are on sale for up to 45% off. Yeti Hopper M15 Tote Use this Yeti cooler to keep drinks cold over the holiday weekend, then put it to use during the rest of the year for grocery runs. Available in several discounted colors, the Hopper M15 Tote features foam insulation to keep items cold. It also has an exterior kangaroo pocket to stash and grab keys, phones and our review Waterpik Aquarius Water Flosser A water flosser is key in anyone's oral care routine, and this model from our top-tested brand, Waterpik, just went on sale at Amazon. It features adjustable settings, including a massage mode, and comes with seven tips for multiple users at 40% off. The North Face Men's Antora Jacket This waterproof jacket from The North Face features a recycled build that helps keep you comfortable in both wet and windy conditions. I appreciate its features like elastic cuffs, hook-and-loop Stormflap closure and cinch-cord adjustments throughout for a tailored fit. Google Pixel 9a One of the best budget smartphones our tech editors have used, the Pixel 9a's flagship-level looks and features can be had for an all-time low price right now at Amazon. Several styles are $100 off with this second-ever discount. Read our review Osprey Arcane Large Day Bag Whether you plan on using this bag to store books this semester or want to bring it on a fall hiking trip, this early Labor Day discount on Osprey's Arcade Day Bag makes it a better companion. Save $30 at REI for a limited time in several colors. Skylight Calendar We recently named this digital calendar as one of the best gifts for the Type A mom in your life who loves syncing everyone's schedule. Just before the back-to-school season really amps up, you can save $50 with a rare deal at Best Buy. Anker 8-in-1 20W Charging Station Tidy up your nightstand charging setup or send your college student back to the dorms with a power plug that can keep all of their gear topped off. This 8-in-1 solution from Anker can power different devices with its four AC outlets, dual USB-C slots and a pair of USB-A ports. Labor Day 2025, unofficially known as the end of summer, lands on Monday, Sept. 1. So there's just under a month left to enjoy the season before fall begins rolling in. Early deals are already beginning to go live. I've been covering holiday weekends like Labor Day for almost a decade. If there's one thing I've learned, it's that year after year, the deals keep starting earlier and earlier. So, if we share an all-time low discount or the best price of the year on something that catches your eye, it's not necessarily worth waiting until the actual holiday weekend. In some cases, the best deals even sell out before we actually make it to Labor Day. Just about every major retailer will be offering Labor Day deals. As summer comes to an end and shoppers begin shifting their focus to the winter holiday months towards the end of 2025, Labor Day serves as a first look at what those end-of-year deals will look like. The savings this year will include everything from big-name storefronts like Amazon, Best Buy, Target and Walmart, as well as specialized retailers like Apple, Lululemon and Sephora. I also expect massive sales at home improvement stores such as The Home Depot and Lowe's. It entirely depends on what you're shopping for. Just like previous tentpole events, the best Labor Day deals aren't going to be found at just a single retailer. Luckily, you can leave it to us at CNN Underscored to scour the internet for you. No need to comparison shop among websites; I'll already be doing that. Kick back and enjoy the last few weeks of summer while we do the hard work for you. The deals team and I are constantly researching all the season's best deals. That, of course, carries over to events like the upcoming holiday weekend, so you can cut right to saving. Each team member, including CNN Underscored's deals editor Jacqueline Saguin and associate deals editor Elena Matarazzo, is dialed into specific beats to help surface the best of the best deals. That means you can trust us to deliver shopping expertise on how to save and what gear and gadgets are worth your money. Quite simply, our goal is to save you money. Our senior deals editor, Rikka Altland, has been doing it for nearly a decade, and that kind of experience extends to the rest of our team of deals editors. Being an advocate for buyers to ensure we're only recommending the best prices on the best products is what we're all about.

Why Is Amazon Using a Lada to Advertise its Used-Car Listings?

Amazon now has used-car listings. For now, only Los Angeles dealers can list used and certified pre-owned vehicles, with customers completing the sale through Amazon. A big deal, but us being complete nerds, were distracted by one of the cars Amazon is using to advertise the service. It is, of all things, a Lada Vesta SW Cross, a lifted station wagon from Russia's state-owned automaker. A car that isn't sold in many markets outside of Russia, and definitely not the US. Photo by: Wikimedia Commons / Ilya Plekhanov A strange choice to be sure. It's not uncommon to see companies use images that might be a made-up rendering or a mashup of multiple different models to represent a generic car. Amazon itself also uses a Ram 1500 with its logos removed in its press release on the new used-car service. But a Lada? It must've been in a royalty-free image somewhere, and no one at Amazon figured anyone would raise an eyebrow. They didn't see us coming. What's especially funny is that this is the second time in a week this sort of thing has happened. As our friends at The Autopian report , the GOP used an image of an old Lada in a tweet about how the Trump Administration's Big Beautiful Bill will "make automobiles great again" and "will drive the return of the great American car." Amazon Autos launched its service a while back with Hyundai , and as of right now, its used-car listings come from LA-area Hyundai dealers. Amazon says it plans on adding new, non-Hyundai dealers in the coming months. We can't imagine we'll see many Ladas listed for sale there.

I Finally Found an Electric Griddle That Can Stand Up to My Favorite Cooking Utensils

Nonstick electric griddles and I are frenemies. No matter how much I avoid metal cooking utensils, scratches inevitably render each griddle's nonstick surface unusable within five years. That is, until I found the Presto 07062 Electric Griddle. The last time I retired a griddle, I replaced it with this pricier ceramic model, and that Presto product has been a scratch-free cornerstone of my kitchen ever since. Its staying power makes it an easy recommendation for folks seeking a great gift for themselves or for another home cook. Right now this Presto griddle is available on Amazon for $60 -- a discount of 14% or $10. Although it's more expensive than some other electric griddles, its durability means you'll get more bang for your buck. The durable nonstick coating is what makes this a long-lasting kitchen appliance Over the last five years, I've seen my cast-aluminum Presto ceramic griddle take a beating without losing its nonstick properties, and its performance easily outshines its few flaws. The biggest shortcoming is that the textured ceramic cooking surface has tiny channels that love to absorb oil. Even nonstick cookware works best with a little oil. With enough time and heat, this trapped oil cooks onto the griddle surface above the heating elements and spreads from there. Regular cleaning only slows the oil's progress across your griddle, so this isn't the best fit if you prefer your cookware to look as pristine as the day you bought it. I'll admit that some blame lies with me -- I could've deep-cleaned it more often by making a baking soda paste mentioned by the manufacturer. It really does work, but it's a long process compared to a quick wash in the sink. Looking for more deals? CNET Deals texts are free, easy and save you money. But despite the battle-worn appearance of my griddle, I haven't noticed a decline in nonstick performance due to the oil deposits forming a coating that's not unlike the seasoning on a cast-iron griddle. I can't vouch for intentionally seasoning this Presto griddle, but my accidental results suggest that it's possible. John Carlsen/CNET At the end of the day, I can't complain about its cooking performance relative to other electric griddles I've used. And the durability of its nonstick ceramic surface means it will likely outlast other, less expensive options. For other kitchen tech we've personally tested and come to love, check out my colleague's favorite all-in-one kitchen appliance and her favorite blender.
