If saving money on everything from cleaning products to electronics to beauty items is your top priority, then don't sleep on this week's deals.
1. A mighty convenient HD portable monitor for 41% off (the lowest it goes for) if you're tired of being confined to a tiny laptop screen when working from home OR on the go. This hooks right up to your laptop via USB-C port so you have an extra monitor to work on! I predict you're about to be WAY more productive.
amazon.com
Promising review:"I bought this as an additional screen for working from home and for traveling. I needed something easy to set up, lightweight, and with a fairly decent screen size. Setup was incredibly easy, just plugged it in and adjusted my monitor settings to find the screen. Screen quality is nice, and the screen size is perfect. I plan to travel and take this with me for working on the go, and from what I can tell so far this will be a great option for me. The cover for the screen allows you to adjust how you want the screen positioned so that's helpful too. Happy with my purchase thus far!" — Tanya
2. A bark deterrent device for 57% off (the best price yet, btw) that emits an ultrasonic frequency only your dog can hear, which will get them to stop barking, digging, chewing, or whatever unwanted behavior you're looking to train away — priceless, IMO. It's a pain-free alternative to shock collars that's pocket-sized for portability!
Promising review:"I'm honestly blown away by how effective this bark deterrent device is. I only had to use it once, and now all I have to do is show it to my dogs, and they immediately stop barking. It's like magic! I've tried other methods before with little success, but this worked instantly. It's safe, easy to use, and clearly gets the message across. If you're dealing with excessive barking, this is 100% worth it!" — Cyn
3. A set of vacuum storage bags for up to 46% off when it feels like you're constantly running out of space, especially for bulky clothes and linens. These bags will suck the excess air out of 'em and compress everything down for easy storage. Now they'll fit in a closet or under the bed much more easily
amazon.com
Promising review:"This is your written permission to stop shopping around for the "best" vacuum seal storage bags. These are hands down the very, very best! I sealed up three bags nearly a month ago and they haven't lost any suction at all. They sealed very well on the first try and I love the quality and craftsmanship of the vacuum sealer. The hand pump works just as well as the vacuum to suck the air out. I bought 2 boxes of 10, and I'll definitely be back as these outshine both Hefty and MagicBag brand bags. 100% worth the purchase!" — Randee Z.
4. A compact portable charger (it's just half an inch thick) for 36% off if you'd rather not live in a constant state of worry over that dreaded low battery warning. It can charge an iPhone 15 1.8 times, or AirPods Pro *13 times* (wow) — twice as fast as similar models and all while fitting neatly in your pocket or purse.
After experiencing Hurricane Helene last year and being without power for multiple days, I became painfully aware of how badly I needed to invest in a portable charger. I've lost power no less than five times *this* year alone so I'm super glad I bought this lil' dude. It's extremely lightweight and truly offers SO much juice for its teensy size. You could charge up to three devices at once if you needed to, which is a huge help in a power outage. I also love that the illuminated paw print indicates how much battery you have left. The mesh pouch is a nice touch if you, like me, have a knack for losing track of things.
Promising review:"I've had multiple battery banks before, but this one is Amazing! I got this to charge my devices while I'm at work. So it sits in my backpack until needed. After 10+ days, I needed to use it to charge my iPhone at 12%. Every paw print showed up. I thought my phone is gonna drain this. Nope 1 hr while actively using it I was at 83% and 1 little paw print gone. Used again a few days later to charge my JBL GO3 that died. Charged it fully twice. Used it again twice to charge my phone from 25% or less. Now 17 days later I'm placing it on charge! Absolutely Love it!" — Sharon Parker
5. A super slim bathroom storage cabinet for 49% off *plus* an additional 10% off — it's a cute and efficient way to store (okay, hide) additional rolls of TP and cleaning supplies. It'll fit right in between that once-useless space between the wall and your toilet.
Promising review:"This small cabinet fits perfectly in the space between the toilet and sink. I needed an enclosed bottom shelf space for a toilet bowl cleaner and I used the top shelf for tissue instead of toilet paper. It was easy and fun to put together as well as sturdy enough for what I required." — scott a sorensen
6. A long-handled standing weeder for 22% off (it's a lightning deal, so act fast!) because who *actually* wants to bend over and over to pull pesky weeds? Your yard will look absolutely ~flawless~ after using this tool, and you'll be totally pain-free. Useful much??
Amazon
It's made wit a bamboo handle and powder-coated steel, it uses a simple lever system to make weeding easy.
Grampa's Weeder is a family-owned small business that's home to a standing weeder design that's been around since 1913.
Promising review:"Oh my god, I friggin' love this tool. I bought this on a whim, given we bought our first house and know nothing about caring for a yard. Boy, has it come in handy. Our new house had a ton of weeds in the front yard, and this tool helped me get most of them out in no time. In fact, the process of yanking out the weeds was strangely satisfying! I don't think anyone can say that weeding is fun, but this tool made it as close to fun as you can get, especially when you see a long root along with the weed you pulled." — JG
Price: $35.12 (originally $44.99)
7. An Alexa-compatible Ring video doorbell for 45% off so you can always keep an eye on your house, even when you're not home. This easy-to-install camera gives you crisp, clear head-to-toe video footage *and* smart alerts that let you know if there's a person or a package on your doorstep. Plus, two-way audio lets you communicate in real time!
amazon.com, amazon.com
Promising review:"This brand new 2024 version of this battery-operated camera has the best view I have ever seen. I love it when you add the most miniature indoor Chime that plugs into an electrical outlet with customizable sounds. Installing the app on your phone is quick, easy, and user-friendly. I recommend this doorbell to anyone with an older version of the bell or someone in the market for this type of device. Please keep in mind that there was no need for screws or electrical wires to power it, and recharging the battery is easy and quick. Kudos to Ring for this improvement." — NJB
8. Or a set of FIVE (!!!) Blink outdoor security cameras for 50% off to ensure you can watch over your yard at all times with easy-to-install tech that's wire-free and connects with the Blink app on your phone.
Amazon
You get 1080p HD live view, infrared night vision, enhanced motion detection, and crisp two-way audio. Plus, the included AA lithium batteries offer up to two years of battery life!
Promising review:"These have been amazing. Really easy to set up, and the app is simple to use. A great option for home security. The video quality is superb and the motion detection can be set to only certain areas in the camera field! Perfect for our home and yard." — Brandon Griffin
9. A quiet but powerful Momcozy Breast Pump for 33% off — it's best price yet. This portable, hands-free pump has three regular modes (stimulation, expression, and mixed), two specialist modes (milk relief and milk boost), *and* personalized modes, all of which can be selected through the Momcozy smartphone app. Wear it whenever and wherever you want for a hands-free experience that allows you to pump on the go!
It can run for 150 minutes (about six pumping sessions) before needing to be recharged! You get a storage handbag and four flange sizes to choose from.
Promising review:"I originally had the Elvie, but after it reached its end, I decided to try the Momcozy Hands-Free Breast Pump since it was a more affordable option—and I'm so glad I did! It works just as well as my Elvie did, with strong yet comfortable suction, easy portability, and a design that fits discreetly in my bra. The battery lasts long enough to get multiple pumps in before needing a charge, and it's super easy to clean (which every mom knows is a game-changer). For the price, this pump is absolutely worth it. If you need a hands-free pump that won't break the bank but still gets the job done, I highly recommend it!" — Cynthia D.
10. A portable power station for 36% off perfect for camping, RVing, and home backup power. It has a 3,000+ cycle life, so it's built to last, and with 1800 watts of AC power, it can juice up just about any device or appliance you want. It has six standard outlets, four USB-A ports (two for fast charging!), two USB-C ports, two DC ports, and a car charger port. You could even charge it with a solar panel if you wanted to.
amazon.com
Promising review:"I'd been looking for a power source for those rare times when my home power went out. I wanted something that could run a few appliances at a time and something that worked without harmful fumes. The Ecoflow Delta 2 was the answer! I am amazed at how rapidly it charges (30% to 100% in about 40 minutes) via my wall outlet. I tested it using my hair dryer, microwave, router, TV, various lights, and a small electric heater. It performed well, losing power slowly and it was able to power everything I needed it to. Now I'm excited by the prospect of a power outage because I know I'll have the ability to stay comfortable during a storm. Very happy!" — Erin D. Wray
11. An ergonomic mesh office chair for 30% off if you're determined to improve your comfort level while working. This one offers impeccable lumbar support, has flip-up armrests, and it allows you to adjust the seat height, headrest, *and* backrest. Comfy mode officially unlocked. 🔓
amazon.com
Promising review:"This is by far one of the best chairs I've ever sat on. The mesh is super comfortable, as it is firm and quite supportive of my back. I also love how breathable the mesh is, eliminating hot spots on my back. I've sat in chairs more expensive than this that were not breathable, and it could get kinda hot sometimes when my back was pressed against the chair. The chair was also super easy to assemble." — Kevin
12. A reliable brushless robot vacuum for 60% off (the lowest price yet) — this thing can tackle pet hair, dust, and debris on hardwood floors and low-pile carpets. You get up to 210 minutes of runtime on a single charge so you don't have to worry about it dying in the middle of a cleaning sesh. It's quiet but powerful with six cleaning modes and a clear dustbin so you can see how much filth it's picking up and feel *very* satisfied with your purchase. It has a compatible smartphone app too!
Promising review:"This robot vacuum lives up to its claims. Even in the quiet operating mode, cleaning power is impressive. Its navigation function avoids obstacles effectively, and the bonus of being able to attach a damp cloth for kitchen floor cleaning is a major time-saver. The device is powerful and has an unusually long sustained running time: between three and four hours. I was also impressed with this company's customer service. I inquired regarding a supply of replacement brushes and HEPA filters, and received a satisfactory response within one day." — AZinRossmoor
13. Or a Bissell Cleanview cordless vacuum for 22% off that is *specifically* made for households with pets — you know, the ones with tumbleweeds of hair floating by at any given moment. The deep-cleaning "furbrush" helps grab stubborn hair from floors, upholstery, and even your car interior. It offers 40 minutes of runtime and can quickly transform into a handheld or high-reach vac. Plus, the SmartSeal Allergen system traps dust and dander so they're not released back into the air.
amazon.com, amazon.com
Promising review:"In the last 10 years, I've had a Dyson, Shark, two off-brand cordless vacuums and now this Bissell. I would say I'm an expert on the cordless stick vacuum, and this is top of the charts!! I have a dog that sheds, so I vacuum daily. I chose this vacuum because of the pet hair attachment and it doesn't disappoint! It works as well as the Dyson, and is substantially better than the Shark, for less than half of what either of those cost. It came with a nice variety of attachments, as well as a wall charging mount. The vacuum is sturdy, portable, and very easy to use." — A Hudson
14. A pair of Colorfulkoala leggings 27% off in their ~Dreamlux~ fabric, which is designed to be buttery soft, sweat-wicking, and completely squat-proof, so your skin or undies never peek through the fabric. Reviewers back all of that up, tout them as a great alternative to Lululemon Align leggings, *and* say that they're super comfy (even enough to lounge in), with a waistband that never rolls down, like with some other brands.
Bonus: reviewers say they *don't* tend to attract dog or cat hair from shedding pets as much as other brands...which is borderline miraculous.
Promising review:"I can't say enough great things about these leggings! They don't roll down they feel amazing on. I have all kinds of brands: Lululemon, Vuori, Athleta, etc., and these are my favorites and the ones I feel the best and most confident in!! And the price, you can't beat it. It's a win-win. I will be back to purchase even more colors!" — Lauren
Price: $24.99 (originally $34; available in women's sizes XXS–XXL, two inseam lengths, and 22 colors)
15. A six-pack of heavy-duty moving bags for 37% off made of tear-resistant and water-resistant material with a foldable design for easy storage when they're not in use. The wrap-around handles, reinforced stitching, and durable zippers are designed to hold up to 65 lbs of stuff. Whether you use them for moving, storing, camping, or traveling, these bags will hold up!
amazon.com
Promising review:"I'm so happy with these bags. They are way better than using wardrobe boxes (which are overly expensive and tend to malfunction), when you're moving. Easy to carry and strong. I packed all of my clothes on the hangers. I love that you can label what's in each bag. Nice heavy-duty zipper and I love that the bags will protect my clothes until I eventually unpack them. I'm pretty confident that they will also be strong enough to hold other mid-weight items. I also love that they are reusable. Five stars." — Artful
16. A lightweight, portable car vacuum for 38% off so you can finally eliminate all the dirt, dust, and crumbs in the backseat you've been desperately trying to ~steer~ clear of. When you have a vacuum IN the car, you'll officially be out of excuses for putting off that mess!
amazon.com, amazon.com
It comes with three detailing attachments (a flathead, extendable, and brush nozzle attachment). You also get a carrying bag, filter brush, and spare HEPA filter. Plug it into the 12V aux outlet in your car and the 16-foot cord will give you enough slack needed to clean the entire vehicle!
Promising review:"Yes, it is not as powerful as my vacuum cleaner in the house, however, it cleaned out all the garbage, which I accumulated over the past autumn and winter, in the car. At the end of October my husband and I went to the ocean and as we tried to be neat — the sand was still in the car. Finally, I got rid of it! Now my beauty again is clean, as on the first day, when I bought her!" — Julia Bright
17. A Fire HD kids tablet for 26% off that's designed for kids ages three to seven and comes with a year-long Amazon Kids+ subscription, which gives the family access to thousands of books, games, videos, and more. Did I mention it has a 13+–hour battery life? Yeah, that helps!
Amazon
Promising review:"Love this! It's exactly like my daughter's other Amazon tablet but much bigger and seems to be faster. I love that once you enter the kids profile they can only download apps that are age appropriate and she can have the freedom of having her own games. It's also super easy to switch to my own profile on the tablet if I wanna use it too!" — Amy
18. A Shark FlexStyle Air Drying System for 20% off that can magically transform from a powerful hair dryer to a styler. It comes with a paddle brush to straighten and smooth *and* an oval brush to smooth, defrizz, and volumize. You can also choose from four heat settings and three airflow settings, depending on your preference!
Amazon
Promising review:"I bought this after trying my friend's Dyson version.... This was WAY BETTER and over half the price!! Works so well for what I wanted and I get compliments literally ALL day when I use it. The wands make my hair look shiny and so much volume!!! I use the brushes when I just want straight hair, and they're also amazing. Very happy!! I bought a cheap little travel bag for it, because it does not come with a container. Air flow is adjustable. My hair dries and styles in half the time it used to take and looks better." — Kate
19. Or a super viral Wavytalk heated curling brush for 22% off with bristles and five temperature options that'll leave you with a salon-worthy look in just minutes. This one-time investment will save you big bucks at the salon over time and help your hair be its bounciest between blowouts!
amazon.com, amazon.com
Curlier hair types might notice some snagging in the bristles.
Promising review: " IT'S SO GOOD. I have 2B hair, and it gives me the perfect 90's blowout. Stays all day. I haven't noticed any snagging or hair getting caught in it while using. Also, it heats up to 420, which is more than enough for me. 10/10!!" — Sabrina
Promising review:"If you are on the fence about this,….. just buy it! I am 50+ and have never been great at doing my own hair. This is so easy for a blowout look in about 5 minutes! And it's quiet,…. No loud hair dryer needed!" — K. ONeil
Price: $46.99 (originally $59.99; available in pink and purple)
The Wavytalk blow dryer set is also on sale for 42% off — it's down to $31.83, and the 5-in-1 set with heated brush and curling iron barrels is about $10 off its typical price, down to $39.19.
20. A Cosori air fryer that's 25% off — it also dehydrates, roasts, broils,and more so you can get dinner on the table in on time flat, recrisp leftovers so they're wayyyy more delicious, and try your hand at all those viral air fryer recipes.
amazon.com, amazon.com
Promising review:"I just didn't want to buy another kitchen appliance that I would use for a week, and then it would just end up sitting there, taking up precious counter space...or worse, get shoved into the pantry or attic. Anyway, been trying to cook more, eat out less, and I have to say that this air fryer is so easy to use, convenient, easy to clean, and really does make delicious food. So far, I have had it for about a week, and have literally used it every day. I have made chicken thighs, breast, and wings in it...all delicious and super juicy, plus crispy on the outside. I've tried veggies -- again, easy and pretty fast. I'm using it to cook for myself, my husband, and my son...have to make multiple batches usually, but I'll cook the protein in the air fryer, and veggies on the stove. Anyway, really great price right now with the Prime sale. I f you're on the fence, think no further, order one now. You won't regret it!" — IKE
21. A stylish and convenient travel backpack for up to 25% off (the lowest price it goes for) that unzips all the way, like a suitcase, has a built-in USB charger, and TONS of pockets for keeping all of your belongings secure and organized.
amazon.com, amazon.com
Promising review: " Very nicely made. Comfortable straps. Great carry-on. Nice color. I really appreciate the clamshell opening and the size of the front pocket that goes to the bottom of the backpack rather than being only a small pocket. The value of the backpack was good. The backpack is a good size." — Professor V
22. A pair of European travel plug adapters for 20% off, which will come in handy on that big trip you have planned later this year! These work in most European countries and have 4 AC outlets and 3 USB charging ports (two USB-A and one USB-C!).
