This $17 Gadget Could Extend The Life Of Your Groceries
We're certainly not the first ones to tell you that inflation has been getting worse, the overall economy shrunk in the first quarter of 2025 and daily necessities have become more expensive. It's important to focus on what you can actually control, and that means finding ways to reduce your weekly bills to avoid further economic hardship.
Luckily, there are plenty of gadgets here to help you pivot away from financial stress, step by step. One particular category of money-saving knick knacks are the finds that will preserve or store food in a more foolproof way, so that you can really live out the helpful advice of 'waste not, want not.' And one item accomplishing that is the Feppo bag sealer, which retails for just $17 right now.
The Feppo sealer helps you reseal bags so that the food inside remains fresh. Gone are the days of needing to roll up a bag of chips flawlessly in order to prevent fresh air from getting in and out, or wrestling with dozens of easy-to-lose bag clips. Instead, this device will reseal a bag completely, and it only takes seconds to make it happen.
If it sounds like a godsend, that's because it really is. It has a 4.2-star rating on Amazon, and hundreds of reviewers have left positive feedback about the sealer. One even noted that it worked better than a larger prosumer model. 'This sealer is terrific. I forked out for a large sealer for my [stuff] I sell on eBay and got this for the kitchen,' wrote one reviewer. '[A]fter using it I just sent the large one back as this [works] perfectly... I have done the typical chips [and] crackers bags as well as mylar Amazon bags including the bubble wrap cushion bags. For the latter, I have used the higher settings to get a good seal. Highly recommend!'
For $17, and the promise of fresh, crunchy snacks in your future even weeks after opening the original packaging, the gadget seems like a complete no-brainer to have throughout the upcoming economic uncertainty.
Get it from Amazon for $16.99 (available in four colors).

Our Absolute Favorite Smartwatch the Apple Watch 10 Is $100 Off Again
The Apple Watch Series 10 is the best smartwatch of 2025, in our opinion. But Apple products don't come cheap and they rarely go on sale. That's why you should hurry to grab this watch for a record-low price. Plus, it makes the perfect Father's Day gift, if you're still looking for one. Just keep in mind, it probably won't come in time so it's best to opt for in-store pick up. Amazon is offering a $100 discount, which drops the basic 42mm model down to $299 and the 46mm model down to $329. If you want cellular connectivity, the price jumps up to $400 for the 42mm model and $429 for the 46mm model, which is also $100 off. Just note that prices vary between colors and colors are selling out quick. In case you miss out on Amazon, the same deal is going on at Walmart. Other than the fact that it was only a relatively incremental upgrade over the Series 9 -- and that some people might prefer a slightly smaller screen -- there wasn't much that CNET's Lexy Savvides didn't like about the latest flagship Apple Watch. Some of its highlights include the thin and lightweight design, impressive voice call performance and a vibrant screen that makes it easy to read notifications. Hey, did you know? CNET Deals texts are free, easy and save you money. It's also equipped with some advanced fitness functions. They start with the Vitals app, which provides a well-rounded picture of how your body is doing. It also has a new function that monitors your sleep over 30 days and alerts you if the data indicates you might suffer from sleep apnea. You'd be surprised how many people don't realize they have it. Other features include improved durability, 50-meter water resistance and all the usual features Apple Watch owners have come to expect: Apple Pay support, Siri access, quick notifications and much more. Why this deal matters Apple doesn't offer direct discounts on its own products, so it's a big deal any time one of its latest devices drops down, especially to an all-time low price. Just keep in mind that we don't expect this deal to stick around for much longer, so we'd recommend acting fast if you don't want to miss out on these saving.

Among large-cap names, Google (NASDAQ:GOOGL) and Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) each dropped about 1%, and Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) slid about 1%. Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:META) was little changed, and Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) also saw minimal movement. Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) showed modest gains but remained within a narrow range. Palantir (NASDAQ:PLTR) bucked the trend, climbing about 1%, possibly on its ties with defense contracts. (NASDAQ:MNDY) declined about 3%, reflecting sensitivity to geopolitical uncertainty.

IBM (NYSE:IBM) and Kyndryl Holdings (NYSE:KD) each edged down about 1%. The S&P 500, Nasdaq Composite, and Dow all retreated roughly 1% as investors weighed the impact of Israel's strikes on Iran.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said, This operation will continue for as many days as it takes to remove this threat, underscoring uncertainty. Market participants remain alert to how the situation might affect tech demand and broader sentiment. This article first appeared on GuruFocus.

Amazon Deals of the Day: Samsung's Budget Friendly Phone Just Got Even Cheaper
Amazon sells a wide array of products, with new ones arriving daily. The retail giant has everything from home essentials to tech gear and wellness items. As much as it loves adding new products, Amazon also loves cutting prices. But deciding which deals are worth grabbing (and which aren't) is a full-time job -- our job, specifically. That's why we scope out the top deals for you. Today, we spotted the Samsung Galaxy A16 down to its record-low price. We also found the Roborock Qrevo Pro robot vacuum and mop for an eye-opening $400 off. And finally, get the party started with the Sonos Move 2 speaker, also down to a record low. Phones are by far one of the biggest essential expenses. Thankfully, the Samsung Galaxy A16 is a solid budget-friendly option. The Samsung Galaxy A-series phones are some our favorite affordable models as they will remain viable for years. You won't have to worry about frequently replacing the phone. It runs on an Exynos 1330 processor, giving you a nice performance. It has a decent seven-inch AMOLED display, too. What's really impressive is the 50-megapixel rear camera giving you clear, high quality images. As for storage you get 4GB of RAM and 128GB of built-in storage. But you can always expand that by using a microSD card. Right now on Amazon, you can score a nice discount on the unlocked model, which means you can activate it with your carrier of choice or use it exclusively over Wi-Fi. It normally runs for $200 but you can score $25 off right now bringing it down to $175. And it's available in two colors. Chores are never fun to do. Personally, my least favorite is cleaning the floors. If you're still using a heavy, corded vacuum, you probably agree with me on that. A robot vacuum can help ease this burden. The Roborock Qrevo Pro is not just a robot vacuum but a mop, too. This combo cleaner has a massive 7,000 Pa suction so it'll pick up every last spec of dirt. And to really be sure no dust or dirt is left behind, a "FlexiArm" side brush helps it clean edges and corners. It can even detects different floor types, easily switching between vacuuming and mopping. The robot is self-emptying and refills the water itself as well. This massively reduces the upkeep time, reducing your workload even more. Of course this doesn't come cheap, with a $1,000 price tag being standard for this model. But right now you can pick one up for $600, a nice 40% discount. This drops it back down to a record-low price. Whether your summer plans include gathering for a picnic, heading over to a pool party or relaxing at the beach, a great speaker can help elevate any activity. Sonos makes some of our favorite speakers. The Sonos Move 2 is currently down to a record-low price on Amazon, now just $336. That's over $100 off from the sticker price of $449. We love it because it is water-resistant and dust-proof, perfect for wherever your adventure takes you. It autotunes to adjust to any environment. It also has a precision-tuned woofer to give you premium quality audio with a deep, dynamic bass. And if you have other Sonos speakers, you can link them for multi-room audio. And don't worry about the speaker running out of power as it has 24 hours of playback time per charge. With so many deals on Amazon, deciding which ones are worth your money can be difficult. But CNET's combed through what the world's largest online retailer has to offer and gathered the best deals for you to peruse.
