Bridgestone Blizzak 6 Tires Size 235/40R19: The recall notice says these tires are missing a Department of Transportation certification seal, and while they comply with performance requirements, DOT has found that tires without the seal may be used inappropriately, potentially increasing the risk of a crash.

If you're looking to pick up a new portable speaker and you want to guarantee quality, then going for our favorite Bluetooth speaker of 2025 makes sense. There are plenty of good options available, but one of our top picks is the Anker Soundcore Boom 2. Amazon currently has a deal on, which means that you can pick up this excellent speaker for just $90. That's a 36% discount on the normal price, and it makes this an even better value purchase. It's only a limited-time deal though, which means it could run out at any time. CNET's resident audio expert David Carnoy commended this 2024 speaker for its durability, compact size and extremely reasonable price. It's equipped with a 50W subwoofer as well as dual 15W tweeters for crisp highs and deep, rich lows. You can also fine-tune the sound with a customizable EQ in the companion app. It weighs in at just 3.7 pounds, is fully waterproof and it can float, which makes it perfect for pool parties and beach days.

Why this deal matters CNET already named this model as one of the absolute best Bluetooth speakers of 2025 thanks to its impressive features and low price tag, which means it's a solid value even at full price. So this $30 discount makes the Soundcore Boom 2 a serious bargain. Plus, this is the best price we've seen outside of major shopping events, so it's unlikely we'll see a better deal anytime soon.

Home Depot fills big void left by bankrupt retailer
There's a reason so many people include Home Depot shopping trips as a line item in their monthly budget. When you own a home, visiting Home Depot on a regular basis is pretty much a given. Related: Costco members need to watch out for this expensive mistake After all, homes need to be maintained. There's no getting around it. And even if your home is in decent shape, eventually, you're going to want to make updates. That could mean slapping on a fresh coat of paint, putting in new flooring, or swapping the light fixtures and mirrors in your bathroom for a fresh, new look. The nice thing about Home Depot is that you can find almost anything related to home improvements under the same roof, and at prices that are reasonable. Home Depot isn't the only major player in the home-improvement space. Not only does rival Lowe's take away a lot of its business, but giants like Amazon and Walmart can take certain customers away due to their competitive prices. Still, there are a lot of things Home Depot has going for it. Related: Bath & Body Works makes bold move to target younger customers For one thing, Home Depot is known for its knowledgeable staff. Let's face it - we're not all home-improvement experts. Some of us may even be afraid to pick up a hammer. But part of Home Depot's mission is to empower people to embrace the "do it yourself" trend. Home Depot has also stepped up its online game in recent years. You can order supplies for a home-improvement project to be shipped to your home or picked up from your local store. Plus, Home Depot has a pretty generous price-matching policy. As long as it's an item that's part of the store's regular stock, it will generally match prices offered by national chains. It's easy to think of Home Depot as a place to buy flooring supplies, tools, or gardening staples. But Home Depot is taking steps to grow its inventory and reach a new audience – parents and kids. Home Depot recently launched a new line of Halloween decorations to capitalize on Americans' love of the spookiest holiday of the year. Related: Costco surprises fans with return of member favorite It's a strategy that's worked well for the company in recent years. But this year, Home Depot is going all out. It's also getting an early start to Halloween by releasing its lineup in August. Home Depot's Halloween lineup includes not only Skelly, its famous giant lawn skeleton ornament, but also a selection of inflatable ghosts and other fun (or, depending on how you view it, creepy) Halloween props. The move is strategic on the part of Home Depot, given that Halloween fans are down a key retailer this year. In late 2024, Party City filed for bankruptcy and soon after began closing down and liquidating its stores. More Retail: Walmart CEO sounds alarm on a big problem for customersTarget makes a change that might scare Walmart, CostcoTop investor takes firm stance on troubled retail brandWalmart and Costco making major change affecting all customers Party City used to sell a host of Halloween decorations at affordable prices, from inflatables to tombstones to elaborate animatronic figures. While consumers won't find the Halloween-themed paper plates and cups that Party City once sold, Home Depot has also branched into the world of Halloween costumes for children and adults alike. So the next time you need to pick up a new screwdriver or rake, you may want to bring your kids along rather than brave the madhouse that is Spirit Halloween. All told, growing its Halloween selection is a great way for Home Depot to get more people into the store. And it will be interesting to see if the company opts to step up its game in the context of Christmas decorations, too.
