Our readers' favorite early Amazon Prime Day deals
Apple iPad (11th Gen): $349 $299
Weber 12-Inch 3-Sided Grill Brush: $16 $12
Yeti Tundra 35 Cooler: $275 $220
Philips Sonicare 4100 Electric Toothbrush: $50 $35 with on-page coupon
Neutrogena Hydro Boost Hyaluronic Acid Serum: $27 $20 Amazon has officially announced the dates for its upcoming Prime Day sale. The mega-retailer is officially entering its second decade of hosting the annual summer sale event and is using the milestone as an opportunity to introduce some changes, so there are plenty of new tidbits to unpack.
This year, Prime Day starts on Tuesday, July 8. However, Amazon is mixing it up from previous years by running the event for four full days — all the way through Friday, July 11. That's twice the typical 48 hours, meaning double the opportunities to save. This marks the first major change to the duration of the summer Prime Day festivities since back in 2017 when the third-ever sale changed from one day to two days.
Featured early Prime Day dealApple AirTag: $29 $25
Every summer travel routine needs an AirTag for peace of mind. Amazon just took $4 off the usual price tag to make the essential a little more affordable.
While the dates are shifting, the deals are not. Prime Day is going to mean markdowns on items in just about every product category that Amazon sells. That includes the usual suspects like consumer electronics, home goods, kitchen appliances, televisions and so much more. I'm also expecting to see a focus on seasonal products for the summer, with deeper deals on fans, camping must-haves, grills, patio furniture and other outdoor essentials.
The deals team here at CNN Underscored, including myself and fellow savvy shoppers Jacqueline Saguin and Elena Matarazzo, is dialed in to helping you save 365 days a year. We shift into overdrive during larger events like Prime Day, combing through the web to find the very best of the best price cuts.
For this summer's sale, we'll be extending our expertise to the rest of our staff, helping tech aficionados, beauty experts, fashion maestros and other editors cover their preferred verticals. So, you won't just be hearing from me; you'll be able to shop curated guides written by experts. After all, we're constantly reviewing and testing the latest tech, beauty and home goods, and that hands-on experience means we can recommend products we've used ourselves.
Just because the upcoming Prime Day sale is a couple of weeks away doesn't mean you have to wait to save. Ahead of time, I'm tracking some notable Amazon deals that are at some of the best prices of the year and worth shopping now to beat the rush.
Apple AirPods Pro 2 With USB-C
Ahead of Prime Day, Apple's newest AirPods Pro 2 are down to the best price to date. Given they are already $79 off, I doubt these will drop any lower during the actual four-day event. These earbuds have been selling out over the past few savings events, so now is your chance to lock in the all-time low and beat the rush before what happened over Memorial Day weekend repeats itself and they go out of stock.Read our review
Ego Power+ Self-Propelled Electric Lawn Mower LM2135SP
At nearly 50% off, this electric lawn mower is your best bet for taming your yard this summer. Alongside the Power+ mower, you'll also get a charger and two batteries for an extended run time. This offer is a new Amazon all-time low and likely won't drop any further over actual Prime Day — that is, if it's still in stock by July. Read our review
Yeti Tundra 35 Cooler in Wild Vine Red
This wine-colored cooler is slightly smaller than our pick for the best Yeti cooler but is every bit as capable otherwise. It can hold up to 20 cans of your favorite beverages and keeps things cool with its PermaFrost Insulation. This model rarely goes below retail, and now it's over $50 off.
Apple iPad (11th Gen)
Apple just updated its most affordable iPad with this 11th-generation model, and it immediately climbed to the top of our list for the best iPad. Now it's at its best price yet with this $50 discount. This is another safe bet to score ahead of time, as there's hardly any chance a deal this good will be beaten over Prime Day. Read our review
Shark FlexBreeze Pro Mist Fan
The very first price cut on this unique fan just went live at Amazon. It'll keep you cool this summer with the usual blowing features you'd expect from a fan, just with some added tech that can spray a cooling mist over you on those especially hot days.
Sunnyglade 9-Foot Patio Umbrella
Give your summer guests some shade for all the future picnics from now through Labor Day with this massive outdoor umbrella. Its 9-foot diameter provides plenty of shade and is now up to $21 off its usual price tag.
Worx Cordless Electric String Trimmer and Edger
Even if you're not ready to make the switch to an electric lawn mower, your toolshed at least deserves an energy-efficient string trimmer. This model is $20 off and lands at the lowest price of the year with a battery and charger included in the box.
Apple AirTag
I recommended my father take one of these with him on a recent trip, and he appreciated the extra peace of mind it offered in case his luggage got lost on the flight. This spring Apple AirTag deal comes close to the best price I've tracked and arrives just in time for anyone else looking to bring the same reassurance to their upcoming travels.Read our review
Philips Sonicare 4100 Electric Toothbrush
Save an extra $5 on our pick for the best electric toothbrush when you clip the on-page coupon. It's within $5 of the all-time low and is the second-best price to date. Read our review
Coleman RoadTrip 285 Portable Propane Grill
Whether you're planning to take this with you camping or tailgating, or you just want a compact grill for the patio that folds away when not in use, the Coleman RoadTrip 285 offers a large cooking surface and the flexibility to switch between different grates. Plus, with 285 square inches of grilling space, you can easily tackle a large-scale picnic.
Dyson V8 Plus Cordless Vacuum Cleaner
Many of our editors at CNN Underscored fawn over their Dysons, including me. Now this affordable V8 Plus model is down to within $20 of its best price this year. It may drop back to the all-time low come Prime Day, but if you need a vacuum sooner, this is still at the top of my recommendation list.
Apple 13-Inch MacBook Air M4
This $150 discount on the newest MacBook Air is one of the best I've tracked since it launched earlier this spring. I expect Prime Day will offer a slightly better deal but likely just on a specific color. These price cuts apply across the board, so you aren't left compromising on the design. Read our review
Neutrogena Hydro Boost Hyaluronic Acid Serum
My fellow deals editor Jacqueline Saguin recently wrote home about how much she loved Neutrogena's Hydro Boost serum. She found it to be deeply hydrating, lightweight and gentle on her sensitive, eczema-prone skin. It's now an even better buy at $7 off the usual price tag.
Beats Powerbeats Pro 2 Wireless Bluetooth Earbuds
When our senior tech editor Mike Andronico got his hands on these new buds, he noted that all the improvements 'add up to some of the best workout headphones [he's] tested.' I was eager to check them out for myself after that, and today's $50 discount to an all-time low makes it an even easier recommendation to take. Read our review
Bissell Little Green Max Pet Carpet and Upholstery Cleaner
Our pick for the best vacuum for pet messes, the Little Green Max is seeing a rare $25 discount ahead of Prime Day. It's a more powerful version of the internet's favorite carpet cleaner and combines the original's smaller size with extra power for intense cleanup of pet messes. Plus, a longer hose and cord give you more wiggle room in tough-to-reach areas, and the stain tool can help scrub out the worst spots easily. Read our review
Weber 12-Inch 3-Sided Grill Brush
Before friends and family come over for a barbecue on July 4th, make sure to clean off the grill with this three-sided grill brush. This official Weber grilling accessory is now down to its best price of the year at 23% off.
Apple Watch Series 10
If you're serious about living a healthier life, wearing an Apple Watch is a great first step to monitor progress. Whether you're like me and training for a marathon or just want to keep tabs on whether you're getting enough sleep or taking enough steps, it can track all kinds of essential health stats to help inform your goals. Read our review
Traeger Grills Pro 22 Electric Wood Pellet Grill and Smoker
Traeger has a pretty devoted following because of its efficient wood pellet setup, and now you can see why for far less. This model has received an over $160 discount for spring, and on top of just grilling, it can also smoke, bake, braise and roast.
Shark AV2820AE PowerDetect Self-Empty Robot Vacuum
The early Prime Day deals on this robot vacuum are some of the best I've ever seen. On top of just being a whopping 56% off, it also features a 60-day capacity and autonomous tech to cross sweeping off your chore list for good. This is a new all-time low that won't be beaten by Prime Day.
Apple AirPods 4
Apple's latest entry-level earbuds are down to the Amazon all-time low ahead of Prime Day. I doubt Amazon will drop these any lower than this $30-off sale price, and even if it does, it won't be that much lower than the existing offer. Read our review Prime Day may be an Amazon event, but that doesn't mean it will be the only retailer to get in on the savings. In recent years, Best Buy, Target and Walmart have all launched competing events to give Amazon's summer event a run for its money. We're expecting much of the same for the upcoming 2025 sale.
It entirely depends on what you're shopping for! There's sure to be plenty of overlap between the retailers, but it's likely the online storefronts will all fight to offer the best price cuts. Amazon will be setting the pace, of course, but anticipate other major stores dishing out deep discounts of their own. Luckily, you can leave it to us at CNN Underscored to scour the internet and report back so you're not left checking everything yourself.
First things first: Make sure you have an Amazon Prime membership. You can sign up for a free 30-day trial, after which your membership will cost $15 per month or $139 per year. In addition to fast, free two-day shipping, you'll have access to Prime Video, ad-free music streaming, unlimited photo storage and unlimited Prime Reading. Many of Prime Day's best deals, including Lightning Deals (we'll get to those in a second), are only available to Prime members.
Once your membership is all squared away, you should take some time to ensure your payment methods, including 1-Click settings and default delivery, are up to date so that you can snag your desired deals in a timely fashion.
Additionally, Prime members can set up deal alert notifications related to their recent Amazon searches and recently viewed items on the Amazon app between now and the event. Once Prime Day begins, members will receive push notifications on any available deals.
Finally, be sure to follow CNN Underscored on Facebook, Instagram and TikTok; sign up for our newsletters, including our deals-specific newsletter; and check our site often. On Amazon Prime Day — and every other day of the year — we'll be highlighting the best deals around the clock that you won't want to miss.
Our deals team has been covering deals for decades and has plenty of experience saving our readers money. We do everything we can to help you get the best bang for your buck. Being an advocate for buyers is what our senior deals editor, Rikka Altland, is all about, and that ensures we're only recommending the best prices on the best products.

Want a 5% Mortgage Rate? These 7 Moves Could Get You There

Want a 5% Mortgage Rate? These 7 Moves Could Get You There

Tharon Green/CNET Over the last several years, record-high home prices and high mortgage rates have made homeownership unaffordable. As 30-year fixed mortgage rates remain flat near 7%, homebuyers have been finding creative ways to score rates below what lenders advertise. Last year, nearly half of buyers purchased a home at a rate below 5%, according to Zillow. "With borrowing costs elevated, buyers can take steps to reduce their housing expenses by securing a lower mortgage rate," said Hannah Jones, senior research analyst at The market forces that influence mortgage rates are out of your control. Yet proven strategies like optimizing your credit score, making a larger down payment, shopping around and negotiating with multiple lenders can save you up to 1.5% on your personalized rate. Mortgage rates aren't expected to drop below 6% in 2025. Snagging even a 1% reduction in your rate can translate to about 10% savings on your monthly mortgage payment and tens of thousands of dollars in savings over the course of your loan. Here's how homebuyers can get lower interest rates in today's housing market. 1. Increase your credit score If your credit needs work, consider taking steps to raise your credit score before applying for a mortgage. Lenders look at your credit score to decide whether you qualify for a home loan and what interest rate you receive. FICO credit scores range from 300 to 850, with 850 being the best score possible. Higher credit scores show you've managed debt responsibly in the past, so it lowers your risk to a lender. This can help you secure a lower interest rate and save big. "The best mortgage rates and products are typically reserved for those with a credit score of 740 or better," said Sarah DeFlorio, vice president of mortgage banking at William Raveis Mortgage. According to a 2024 Lending Tree study, when borrowers moved from the "fair" credit score range (580 to 669) to the "very good" range (740 to 799), they shaved 0.22% percentage points off their interest rate. That rate difference helped borrowers save $16,677 over the lifetime of a home loan. 2. Make a bigger down payment Your down payment is the amount of money you contribute to your home purchase upfront. Each type of home loan comes with a minimum down payment, usually ranging from zero to 5%, but a higher down payment means a cheaper interest rate. That's because the lender takes on less risk when you contribute more toward the loan. Because a down payment lowers your mortgage rate and builds your home equity, home loan experts often recommend making a large down payment of at least 20%. 3. Take out an adjustable-rate mortgage An adjustable-rate mortgage, or ARM, is a home loan with a fixed rate for a set introductory period, such as five years. Once that period ends, the interest rate can go up or down in regular intervals for the remaining term. The big appeal of ARMs is that the introductory interest rate is often lower than the rate on traditional mortgages. In general, the average 5/1 ARM rate is about 0.5% lower for the first several years than the average rate for 30-year fixed-rate mortgages. 4. Negotiate your mortgage rate When you're applying for mortgage loans, you don't have to go with the company that did your preapproval. In fact, research shows that getting rate quotes from multiple lenders and comparing offers can result in significant savings. If you want to use this strategy, start by submitting a mortgage application with lenders that fit your criteria. Once you have a few loan estimates in hand, use the best one to negotiate with the lender you want to work with. The loan officer may lower your rate, help you save on closing costs or offer other incentives to get you onboard. In a 2023 LendingTree survey, 39% of homebuyers negotiated the interest rate on their most recent home purchase. Out of that pool of buyers, 80% were able to get a better deal. 5. Choose a shorter home loan term Nearly 90% of homebuyers choose a 30-year fixed mortgage term because it offers the most flexibility and monthly payment affordability. Payments are lower because they're stretched over a longer timeline, but you can always put more toward the principal here and there. But when you take out a longer-term home loan, "you're holding up the lender's money, and there's an opportunity cost for the funds to be invested elsewhere," said Nicole Rueth, SVP of the Rueth Team Powered by Movement Mortgage. Shorter loan terms, such as 10-year and 15-year mortgages and ARMs, have lower interest rates, so you can reduce your rate now. Choosing a shorter repayment term could help you save money because you'll be paying less in interest over the long term. But don't make the homebuying mistake of choosing a shorter loan term just for the lower rate. Shorter loan terms mean you'll have less time to repay the money you borrow, resulting in higher monthly payments, so it's important to ensure they fit within your budget. 6. Buy mortgage points A mortgage point, also known as a mortgage discount point, is an upfront fee you can pay the lender in exchange for a lower interest rate on your home loan. Each point costs 1% of the purchase price of a home and usually knocks the rate down by 0.25%. On a $400,000 home, you'd pay $4,000 for one discount point. The lender may even allow you to buy four mortgage points to lower the rate from 7% to 6%, although you'd have to shell out $16,000 to get there. To check whether this strategy is worthwhile, take the total cost of the points and compare it to the overall monthly savings. In this case, when you pay $16,000 to buy four points and save $210 per month, it would take you more than six years to reach your break-even point. Some experts encourage putting any extra money you have toward a down payment instead of buying points. That's because if you sell the home or refinance before reaching your break-even point, you lose money. But the amount you spent on your down payment becomes part of your equity. 7. Get a temporary mortgage rate buydown A temporary mortgage rate buydown involves paying a fee at closing to lower your interest rate for the first few years of your loan term. Because of the considerable upfront cost, this strategy only makes financial sense when someone else pays that fee. Home builders, sellers and even some lenders may offer to cover this type of buydown to boost sales, especially when market rates are elevated. For example, a lender may offer a "3-2-1" buydown, where the interest rate is slashed by 3 percentage points in the first year, 2 percentage points in the second year and 1 percentage point in the third. Starting in the fourth year, you pay the full rate for the rest of the loan term. Buyers often choose a temporary buydown and plan to refinance later. Your buydown funds are refundable, and you can use them toward closing costs when you refinance (if rates do drop). What is a 'good' mortgage rate? The majority of US adults would consider purchasing a home if rates were to drop to 4% or below. Yet most mortgage forecasts don't project average rates falling drastically short of a major economic downturn or global catastrophe. In a historical sense, a good mortgage rate is generally at or below the national average. Since 1971, the 30-year fixed mortgage rate has averaged 7.72%, according to Freddie Mac. In the last year, average mortgage rates have mostly fluctuated between 6% and 7%. Affordability is relative to your overall financial situation. And because mortgage rates can change daily and even hourly, the definition of a "good" rate can change quickly. "What matters is the rate you can get today," said Colin Robertson, founder of The Truth About Mortgage. According to Robertson, the only way to know if you're getting a good deal is to speak with a few different lenders and brokers and then compare their quotes against the daily or weekly averages. Buying a home is a personal decision, so it should feel right for your situation and budget. As you shop for a home, consider multiple strategies to lower your rate. A mortgage calculator can help you estimate what you'd pay each month. Read more: Still Chasing 2% Mortgage Rates?

Creative Side Hustles for Women Who Love Design and Art

Creativity and individuality are values consistently on the rise, and women who love design and art are in a unique position to potentially turn their passions into side hustles with worthwhile income possibilities in sight. If you're one of the following: a full-time professional, a stay-at-home mom, or somewhere in between, there are countless ways to channel your artistic talents into profits – without compromising your love for creating. Here, we explore some of the most rewarding and flexible creative side hustles for women who live and breathe design and art. From hands-on crafts to digital design, there's something here for almost every inventive spirit. 1. Freelance Graphic Design Suppose you have a flair for visual storytelling and experience with tools like Canva, Adobe Illustrator, or Photoshop. In that case, freelance graphic design is one of the most accessible and in-demand side hustles. Businesses, bloggers, influencers, and startups are constantly looking for help with logos, social media graphics, flyers, packaging, and more. Getting started: Create a small portfolio with 5-10 strong pieces that showcase your style and versatility. You can find clients on platforms like Upwork, Fiverr, and 99designs or by reaching out to local businesses and online creators. Pro tip: Niching down (like offering branding specifically for women-owned businesses or social media graphics for coaches) can help you stand out and attract your ideal clients. 2. Sell Printable Art or Templates on Etsy Etsy is a goldmine for women who love creating beautiful things – and one of the most passive forms of creative income is selling digital products. From printable wall art to wedding invitation templates, calendars, planners, or social media kits, you can create once and sell indefinitely. Why it works: You don't need inventory or shipping logistics. All you need is your creative design, a few mockups, and a platform to sell on. Tools to use: Canva Pro is great for beginners, while Adobe Creative Suite offers more flexibility for advanced users. Use a tool like Creative Market to find assets, and mockup generators like Placeit to showcase your work professionally. 3. Start a Custom Stationery or Illustration Shop If hand-drawing or watercolor painting is your thing, you can build a unique brand around custom illustrations or stationery. People love personalized artwork – especially for weddings, baby showers, anniversaries, and holiday gifts. Ideas include: Custom pet portraits Illustrated family portraits Personalized greeting cards or thank-you notes Wedding invitation sets with a hand-painted touch Selling options: Create a shop on Etsy or Shopify, or promote your work on Instagram and TikTok. You can also offer downloadable versions or take commissions on request. 4. Surface Pattern Design Surface pattern design involves creating patterns that can be printed on everything from fabric to phone cases, mugs, wallpaper, and home decor. It's a fantastic creative niche for artists who love playing with colors, textures, and patterns. Where to sell: Upload your patterns to platforms like Spoonflower, Redbubble, or Society6. These print-on-demand services handle production and shipping while you earn a commission on each sale. Skillset needed: You'll want to be comfortable with seamless pattern creation with tools on platforms like Adobe Illustrator or Procreate. Many artists also license their designs to fabric companies or brands. 5. Web Design or UX/UI Design If you have a creative eye and some tech-savvy abilities, web design could be a lucrative side hustle that blends artistry with function. Many small businesses and entrepreneurs struggle with creating beautiful, user-friendly websites and are happy to pay for a designer who understands their aesthetic. Platforms like: Squarespace WordPress Showit Webflow …make it easier than ever to design without advanced coding knowledge. How to get started: Offer to redesign a few websites or create templates for practice. Build a mini portfolio and start networking in online communities, especially women-led entrepreneur groups on Facebook or LinkedIn. 6. Teach What You Know (Online or Locally) If you've mastered a creative skill – like watercolor painting, calligraphy, or even DIY home decor – you can monetize that knowledge by teaching others. Women love learning from other women, especially in a creative, supportive environment. How to teach: Host online classes through platforms like Skillshare, Teachable, or Gumroad Offer live Zoom workshops Partner with local art studios or community centers Start a Patreon or private membership for exclusive tutorials Bonus: Teaching builds your credibility and personal brand and is great if you want to grow into a larger creative business down the road. 7. Creative Content Creation Design-loving women with a knack for styling and photography can create content for brands, especially within something personally appealing – this could include the lifestyle, home, fashion, or wellness niches. You don't have to be a full-time influencer to do this; you can work behind the scenes to style flat lays, shoot product photos, or design Instagram feeds. What you can offer: Styled photography for Etsy shops Instagram reels with a design focus Blog headers or Pinterest graphics Branded templates and Canva kits You can pitch these services directly to small brands or join influencer/content platforms like Aspire, Cohley, or Trend. Final Thoughts Side hustles don't have to be stressful or disconnected from your passion. As a creative woman, you already have the tools to build something beautiful and income-generating. Whether you're doodling in your sketchbook, styling your home, or experimenting with color palettes, there's a way to turn your talent into a side hustle that aligns with your lifestyle and values. The key is to start where you are, use your existing tools, and grow one step at a time. The world needs more beauty – and your art might be someone's favorite new find.

Templeton breaks ground on first multi-family housing in 25 years: Where is it?

On June 10, MPZ Development LLC and Capstone Communities LLC celebrated the official groundbreaking of Baldwinville School Apartments redevelopment project in Templeton. The Baldwinville School Apartments project is set to bring much-needed affordable housing to Templeton, according to a community announcement. The redevelopment of the historic Baldwinville Elementary School will create 54 rental units, with 49 designated as affordable for households earning 30% to 60% of the area median income. The project is the first multi-family housing initiative in Templeton in over 25 years. The development, designed by ICON Architecture, will include a new Enterprise Green Communities-certified, Passive House addition. The apartments will offer various layouts, including lofts, studios, and one to three-bedroom units, many of which will be rehabilitated from the original school structure. Future residents will have access to several on-site amenities, such as an outdoor courtyard, community green space, children's playground, fitness center, electric-vehicle charging stations, in-building laundry, and a community walking trail leading to an overlook of the Otter River. The project was made possible through financing from several sources, including the Massachusetts Executive Office of Housing and Livable Communities, MassHousing, Rockland Trust, National Equity Fund, the Massachusetts Historical Commission, and The Life Initiative. The Templeton Community Preservation Committee also contributed $1.924 million, and the project received $750,000 from the Underutilized Properties Program via the Community One Stop for Growth awards, administered by MassDevelopment. 'Capstone Communities and MPZ Development are thrilled to celebrate the official groundbreaking of Baldwinville School Apartments in Templeton today,' Jason Korb, principal of Capstone Communities, and Mathieu P. Zahler, principal of MPZ, said in the announcement. 'We're proud to breathe new life to this historic school building and bring deeply needed affordable housing to Templeton. Baldwinville School Apartments are a reflection of what's possible through collaboration, both locally and throughout the commonwealth. We hope that this project will support Templeton through thoughtful and purposeful redevelopment.' The project has garnered support from various state and local officials. 'The Healey-Driscoll Administration is committed to bringing down housing costs for all residents and creating more housing across the state for families at all income levels,' Secretary of Housing and Livable Communities, Ed Augustus, said in the announcement. 'We are proud to contribute funding in support of these new mixed-income units that will allow families to live affordably in Templeton.' 'This long-awaited housing project is a fantastic example of a public, private partnership and the Healey-Driscoll administration's commitment to uplifting rural communities,' Anne Gobi, director of Rural Affairs, said in the announcement. 'I look forward to seeing the historic school occupied again and I know the new residents will enjoy all Templeton and the region has to offer.' State Sen. Peter Durant, R-Spencer, and State Rep. Jonathan D. Zlotnik, 2nd Worcester District, also expressed their support for the project. 'Today is a day of new beginnings for this site and it's my pleasure to be here to see the ceremonial shovels going into the ground to kick off this project,' Durant said in the announcement. 'Templeton has recognized its need for additional affordable housing and the Baldwinville School Apartments will fill that need. The design plans look amazing, and I am looking forward to the day when we see the finished project.' The project has been in the works since early 2020, according to Holly Young, Templeton's interim town administrator. 'It has taken a lot of work and joint efforts from the Town of Templeton departments working with Matt Zahler of MPZ Development and Jason Korb of Capstone Communities to see this project come to fruition,' Young said in the announcement. 'I look forward to seeing the building take shape and the project completed as it will enhance the entire neighborhood.'
