I'm a professional Yeti fangirl — here's my favorite Yeti products on sale for Prime Day, starting from $24
However, as usual, Yeti's sale is slim pickings. Yeti discounts are rare, and oftentimes its gear is never on sale. However, I've scoured the web for the best Yeti deals, so you don't have to!
I've found great savings on the Yeti Hopper M30 Cooler bag, $262 from Amazon (25% off) and the Yeti Rambler 20oz travel mug, $26 from Amazon! For more awesome deals, keep scrolling.
The Rambler 26 oz straw cup is perfect for summer. While normal travel mugs have a slot opening, this cup has a straw so you can stay sippin' on iced drinks without making your teeth cold! My favorite part of Yeti travel cups is the insulation. I have a Yeti travel mug and it keeps things hot (and cold) for literal hours. I'd grab this one now at just $24, before it rises again.
This is basically the same as the mug above, but it's got a slot to sip from rather than a straw. This would be better for hot drinks. As with the straw cup, the Yeti travel mug is insulated so it'll keep hot drinks hot and cold drinks cold for longer!
I know, a bit of a curveball. How cool is this cocktail shaker though? Imagine taking this on a camping trip — not only do you have an insulated shaker to make cocktails while in the wilderness, you also get an extra drinking cup (if a friend tags along unexpectedly, for example). The lid is leak resistant so this could even double up as a water bottle.
The Yeti cooler bags are iconic, and the Flip 8 is no different. This cooler has a zip lid, so it's completely leak proof. It can keep things cold for up to 48 hours and it can carry 4.7 quarts. The carry strap is padded, too, for ultra comfort.
I tested the M15 cooler bag (just smaller than this one) and I gave it a 4-star rating in my Yeti M15 Hopper review. I use it literally all the time. The M30 can hold up to 42 cans (!!!) so will tide you over on long beach day trips or even weekend camping trips. The M30 can stay cold for up to 48 hours with proper prep and usage.

Forget Full Price: How Amazon Resale and Renewed Gets You New Tech on the Cheap
Amazon Resale is quietly serving premium gadgets for on big tech items can be unpredictable, and with tariffs and price increases, it's not at all surprising that more people are looking to save some cash. In fact, a recent CNET survey says 64% of shoppers plan to grab what they need early so they're not stuck paying more later. Brand-new gadgets can cost a lot, but Amazon has a couple of ways to make those purchases easier on your budget. There is Amazon Renewed, where refurbished and tested devices get a second life, and Amazon Resale, which offers discounted items from overstock or returns. Between the two, you can find everything from kitchen tools to phones, laptops, tablets and even home improvement gear. If you like saving money without giving up quality, it is worth checking out both programs. Here is a closer look at how Amazon Renewed and Amazon Resale work and what you can expect when you shop them. Amazon Resale vs. Amazon Renewed Amazon Resale is exactly what it sounds like. If a product purchased on Amazon is returned, refurbished or warehouse-damaged, it can no longer be sold as "new." Amazon shuffles these products over to the Amazon Resale deals page where you can find them on sale, with a discount. Amazon Resale features preowned, used or open-box items, each with "grades" or conditions that you can choose. Each item is priced according to its grade. Amazon Renewed features products that are higher quality than Amazon Resale. It features items that have been inspected and tested to ensure they look like new and perform like it, too. You can shop on Amazon Resale by category. Screenshot by Nelson Aguilar/CNET What can you buy from Amazon Resale? Pretty much anything. On the Amazon Resale front page, you can browse through deals by category, including computers and tablets, kitchen appliances, home improvement tools, pet supplies, video games, unlocked cell phones and televisions. Just because the items in the Amazon Resale are discounted doesn't mean they aren't name-brand products. You can purchase products from brands like Apple, Samsung, Keurig, Black & Decker, Sony, Canon, Panasonic, Nintendo, PlayStation and Logitech. Best of all, many of the products you'll find in the Amazon Resale are relatively new. For example, you can purchase a new Google Pixel 8 Pro, last year's model, for $599. You can get the Google Pixel 8 Pro for a discount on Amazon Resale. Amazon/Zooey Liao/CNET What sort of discounts can you get on Amazon Renewed? That depends on the product, but you can expect to see price cuts ranging from a few dollars to hundreds of dollars of savings. Let's say you're ready to pull the trigger on the LG OLED C4, CNET's pick for best gaming TV, but you're still looking for a better deal than what's on the market right now. Amazon currently sells a 65-inch version of the TV for $1,397, but you can get a good discount by opting for a used, like-new condition model. How to find Amazon Resale vs. Amazon Renewed deals The easiest way to access deals available on Amazon Resale or Renewed, is by going directly to the dedicated pages on the Amazon website. You can click here for Amazon Resale, or here for Amazon Renewed. You can also find both of these sections by typing "Amazon Resale" or "Amazon Renewed" into Amazon's search bar, and then hitting enter. Amazon Resale deals can also be found directly on product pages within Amazon. All you need to do is find the Sold by Amazon Resale option underneath the regular purchasing options. Alternatively, you can spot Renewed deals in search results by looking for (Renewed) in the product listing. How to nab an Amazon Resale deal Let's say you search Amazon for the Apple Watch Series 10, which typically costs $399 and is currently on sale for $383. If you want to view a possible Amazon Resale deal, you can scroll down, past the Add to Cart and Buy Now buttons, until you see a gray box with a Sold by Amazon Resale option. Any possible Amazon Resale deals appear on the bottom right of the product page. Screenshot by Nelson Aguilar/CNET There you would see the discounted price, the condition of the product and the expected delivery date. If there are other Amazon Resale deals, you might see more boxes underneath that, with labels like "New & Used," "Buy Used," "New & Used Offers" or "Used," along with a number indicating how many other used items are available for sale. Browse through the used items and hit Add to Cart to add the item to your cart and make your purchase. Does it matter which Amazon Resale deal I take? Yes. If you view all of the Amazon Resale deals available for a single product, you'll see a variety of prices, sorted by lowest price (combined with shipping cost) at the top, by default. You probably want the best deal, but it's also important to check out the condition of each item, which we'll explain in more detail below. The cheaper it is, the more damaged or imperfect the item may be. If you want a product that's in better condition, you might need to spend a bit more. What do the Amazon Resale conditions mean? Amazon has five conditions, or grades, that are assigned to any item sold through Amazon Resale. Here's how Amazon defines the product conditions: Renewed : This is the highest grade an Amazon Resale product can receive. A renewed item is inspected and tested by Amazon to work and look like new, and it comes with a 90-day warranty for any replacements or refunds. : This is the highest grade an Amazon Resale product can receive. A renewed item is inspected and tested by Amazon to work and look like new, and it comes with a 90-day warranty for any replacements or refunds. Used, Like New or Open Box : In perfect working condition. The original protective wrapping may be missing, but the original packaging is in good condition with minor damage. Accessories and instructions are included. : In perfect working condition. The original protective wrapping may be missing, but the original packaging is in good condition with minor damage. Accessories and instructions are included. Used, Very Good : Lightly used with limited signs of wear and tear, but otherwise in good working condition. Packaging might be damaged and missing accessories, if any, are mentioned in the listing. : Lightly used with limited signs of wear and tear, but otherwise in good working condition. Packaging might be damaged and missing accessories, if any, are mentioned in the listing. Used, Good : Moderate signs of use, with identifying markings or minor cosmetic damage, but should function properly. The packaging may be damaged and the item could be missing accessories, like instruction manuals and assembly tools. : Moderate signs of use, with identifying markings or minor cosmetic damage, but should function properly. The packaging may be damaged and the item could be missing accessories, like instruction manuals and assembly tools. Used, Acceptable: Worn but still fully functional. Major cosmetic defects, like scratches, dents and worn corners, as well as packaging issues or missing parts, accessories, instructions and tools. Whichever option you choose, your item should be in working condition. None of the items sold in Amazon Resale are damaged to the point where they're difficult to use or require repair or service. Truth be told, we've had some serious luck when opting for an "acceptable" item, only to find that it was in much better condition than anticipated. Do I need Amazon Prime to get Amazon Resale discounts? Nope. As long as you have an Amazon account, you can take advantage of all Amazon Resale deals. Having Amazon Prime will save you on shipping costs and help you receive your products faster, thanks to two-day shipping. You don't need Amazon Prime to get Amazon Resale deals, but it does help with shipping. James Martin/CNET Be sure to check Amazon Resale during sales, too As illustrated above, it makes sense to check out your Amazon Resale options during a big sale. Oftentimes, if not every time, when a big sale day happens, the prices for used items are reduced to reflect the sale of the new item. After all, it doesn't make a lot of sense to pay more for a used item than a new one. This may not be the case for third-party sellers on Amazon, but check out what Resale has on offer during Labor Day or Prime Day when it arrives to see if you can snag an even better price.

Opinion - H-1Bs are wreaking havoc on American workers
When it comes to immigration, there's a refrain that periodically arises with respect to new immigrants: 'They're even more American than us,' or something to that effect. And if immigration causes any ill effects on Americans already here — such as disruptions in the economy or employment environment — they are reminded that they should just grit their teeth and 'learn to code.' Unfortunately, that advice may no longer be helpful. Layoffs in the tech industry for 2025 had already exceeded 80,000 as of July, according to estimates. Although the public may know the tech climate has been bleak, they haven't heard much about the causes. Corporate executives have been eager to insinuate that AI is driving the employment environment. Amazon CEO Andy Jassy said in June that there would 'be fewer people doing some of the jobs that the technology actually starts to automate.' However, Jassy did not mention another factor — the employment data indicate that Amazon has led corporate America in spurning U.S. workers in favor of foreign-born alternatives. The company's main operating arm submitted 31,817 Labor Condition Applications for H-1B, H-1B1, and E-3 visas in the second quarter of fiscal 2025, according to data published by the Labor Department's Office of Foreign Labor Certification. The number grows higher — to 40,757 — if one accounts for Amazon Web Services, the company's cloud-management division. NVIDIA placed a distant second with 27,244 applications. Other top offenders included Goldman Sachs, which used three entities to file more than 26,000 applications. There's also Microsoft (14,181 applications) and Apple (8,393 applications). Labor Condition Applications allow companies to fill roles based in the U.S. with foreign laborers. They recently came under fire from Vice President JD Vance. Alluding to Microsoft's announcement of layoffs weeks earlier, Vance said at an event, 'You see some Big Tech companies where they'll lay off 9,000 workers, and then they'll apply for a bunch of overseas visas.' He added that he 'just found out' and had 'not yet had that conversation with Microsoft.' In a statement, Microsoft denied that Americans had been laid off as a result of their foreign alternatives, pointing to the fact that it had also reduced its H-1B workforce. 'Our H-1B applications are in no way related to the recent job eliminations in part because employees on H-1Bs also lost their roles,' a spokesman told me. He added that 78 percent of Microsoft's applications over the last 12 months were for 'existing employees.' Although these foreign workers are, in theory, intended to fill 'high-skill' roles, the data tell a different story. According to the Labor Department, 82 percent of Microsoft's H-1B applications for 2025 have been for positions the department classifies as Level I or II — entry or mid-level roles paid at or below the 34th wage percentile. To put that in simpler terms: Microsoft is paying 82 percent of its foreign workers less than the prevailing market rate for their positions. Even if Microsoft were able to find Americans willing to work for less than they're worth, Microsoft wouldn't be required to make any attempt to hire them — despite a widely held belief that H-1B employers are required to certify that they haven't been able to find Americans to employ. 'It is remarkable how many policy wonks, news organizations, and academics get this critical fact wrong,' Howard University Professor Ron Hira, an H-1B expert who has testified on the issue before Congress, told me in an interview. 'My experience suggests that more elites believe the falsehood than the truth. The program would look radically different and function much better if such a requirement existed.' It is little wonder that younger Americans suspect all of this labor importation may have something to do with the challenges they're facing. That applies not just in terms of employment, but also of problems ranging from the national housing shortage to the rising cost of car insurance to traffic congestion — which, as anecdotal evidence would have it, spontaneously fell amid immigration raids in Los Angeles last month. Naysayers will disagree, nitpick, or read legalese about how their foreign workers were onboarded years ago to rationalize the idea that Americans haven't been affected. And that's fine, but it isn't going to change the fact that voters aged 18-21 sided with Republicans by a double-digit margin in Yale's recent youth poll, largely due to these very concerns. Of course, those numbers could shift, particularly if Republicans fail to take action — likely pushing those young voters even further to the right. Aside from Vance, mainstream politicos have been largely silent on this issue — perhaps because they don't want to offend their corporate patrons. The best they can do is stay silent and hope that voters forget. The media appear to be fully on board with that plan. As of July, a search for stories involving the Office of Foreign Labor Certification published within the last year returned zero results from outlets including The New York Times, Washington Post, and NBC News, among many others. Contrast that with The Times' obsessive concern with the State Department terminating a little more than 1,300 employees. 'Cuts at State Department Demote Longtime U.S. Values,' the paper declared in the headline of a news (not opinion) article. It sounds like firing a federal worker is akin to an attack on the very fabric of America's values. By that measure, they must be the most American of us all. That must be nice, but it may not elicit much sympathy from those who have somehow been deemed less essential to the country than their foreign replacements.

The Ninja Swirl soft serve and ice cream maker is almost $50 off right now
If you're like me, then you'd agree there's really never a bad time to have ice cream. Even in the coldest months, I'll reach for a pint, frozen solid, in the back of my freezer. What's even more exciting, though, is that making your own frozen desserts has quite literally never been easier, thanks to appliances like the Ninja Slushi, Ninja Creami and the versatile Ninja Swirl. Right now, the Ninja Swirl — a part of the kitchen brand's Creami lineup — is almost $50 off at Best Buy. Deal of the Day 4.6-star average rating from 135 reviews on Amazon Though some prefer soft serve or ice cream, with the Ninja Swirl, you don't have to choose one or the other, so everyone gets what they want. This is what makes it different from the Ninja Creami, which specializes in making ice cream and comes with a pint-sized container for your desserts. The Ninja Swirl lets you make the same things, in addition to soft serve, frozen yogurt, sorbet and frozen desserts made from fruit and dairy, like Dole Whip. The appliance also has functions for making milkshakes and gelato, and it has a setting that lets you add in ingredients like chocolate chips, fruit, chocolate syrup and more, while the machine is at work. Once the timer on the front finishes and the soft serve is done, you can pull down the lever on the side and fill your preferred cup or cone. Want more from NBC Select?
