57 Products That Are Very Good At Their Jobs
A cheap but incredibly effective instant foot peeling spray in case your at-home pedis aren't quite hitting or you can't make it to the salon before it's time to start wearing sandals. It'll gently remove dead skin and help moisturize cracked heels so you won't have to put off slipping your old dogs into your trusty Birks for the season. Or some Nortiv 8 walking shoes with the pillowy comfort and bold color combos of Hokas on the cheap, so you can splurge a little bit on that boutique boxing class this week instead of shelling out more for the name-brand shoes. A tinted lip balm you'd SWEAR is Clinique's $25 "Almost Lipstick" Black Honey for the lovely, sophisticated hue it'll turn your lips. This is great for people who 1) always want a little lip color, 2) hate a sticky feel, and 3) love a bargain. Gold Bond's firming neck and chest cream to *gently* hydrate, exfoliate, and tighten the skin that's more sensitive than the rest of your body but less sensitive than the skin on your face. This makes for a lovely, quite effective in-between formula packed with aloe, salicylic acid, and jojoba oil in a formula that reviewers say works just as well as much pricier creams. A Summer Lemon Marinara sauce that, quite frankly, is the best version of pasta sauce that I've ever had out of a jar. And much better than some sauces I've had out at restaurants! It more or less feels like "il dolce far niente" to me, even if I'm pouring it over some noodles that expired a month ago in my pantry. A sturdy Pikk-It tool with sharp metal teeth that'll un-ensnare tangled hair from your vacuum cleaners, hairbrushes, and even your beloved round brush dryer. Raise your hand if you've ever broken a seam ripper cleaning a vacuum cleaner. (Meee.) A Lululemon-inspired tennis skirt with built-in shorts and a secret inner pocket because are you even living your best summer life if you're not claw-handing your iced coffee and phone in one hand while you wildly gesticulate as you tell your friend a story on a neighborhood walk? No need to worry about a strong breeze. A Creamy Coconut fragrance rollerball that'll have everyone assuming you paid full price for the $25 Sol de Janeiro fragrance. Even if your immediate plans don't entail sitting on a beach and drinking out of an actual coconut, you can still catch a whiff of the island vibe with this sweet scent. A powerful dishwashing spray that, honestly, if you buy anything from this list, this should be it — especially if your old house *doesn't* include a dishwasher. You can spray down that casserole dish caked with enchilada sauce, let it sit, and you simply wipe and rinse away that saucy mess in a few minutes after you've conquered your meal. (Can you sense an enchilada theme here?) An intoxicating Baccarat Rouge 540–inspired Cremo Body Wash can help you smell luxe without blowing your whole beauty budget for the month. It has a blend of white jasmine, red currant, and sweet amber that reviewers say stacks up to the real deal and sticks with them throughout the day. E.l.f. Lash Xtndr Tubing Mascara if you've tried pricier versions but have shied away from rebuying because of $$$. Seriously, just try this! It's so good that I'm currently on my THIRD tube. A $5 brass cleaner potion can bring some shine back to your designer bag's hardware (without a trip to the Louis Vuitton store). It just takes a tiny bit and some patient work with a cotton swab! Good Molecules Pineapple Exfoliating Powder made with natural rice starches and pineapple, kiwi, and papaya extracts that'll foam up and *gently* polish skin, giving you similar results to the $68 Dermalogica version. You can use it up to four times a week to see (and feel) the benefits without harsh scrubs or panicking a little bit at your Ulta total. Plus, Good Molecules Yerba Mate Wake Up Eye Gel. Reviewers swear that this works just as well as $$$ eye creams at minimizing puffiness and swelling thanks to a powerhouse duo of caffeine and hyaluronic acid. Mise En Scene Perfect Serum, a K-beauty product that's probably come across your radar for its stunning before-and-after results *and* lower price tag than a comparable $46 Gisou hair oil. Locking down a cheap but transformative hair oil will soften the blow of putting off having your split ends snipped off for a few more months. A leather stain remover spray that'll turn back time on your leather couch, purse, boots, basically whatever that, despite leather usually withstanding most stains, is really showing its wear. This stuff is transformative! Oxo's portable Cold Brew Rapid Brewer if you guzzle coffee like it's your main salaried job where you have a corner office in the C-suite. It whips up cold brew in a mere five minutes, which is even better news if you've gotten sticker shock from Aeropress but need something that'll work both at home and on the go. (For the record, some reviewers call it "Aeropress 2.0" because they prefer the Oxo version.) An Elizavecca hair treatment to give you "rich girl hair" thanks to its collagen and ceramide 3 formula. And it'll take just a few minutes of your time, like as little as five minutes post-shampoo. Because time is money, money is power, and power is pizza. (In case you were curious, lots of reviewers say they prefer it over $$$ Olaplex.) A pair of wireless over-the-ear headphones you'd mistake for AirPods Max if you weren't paying close attention thanks to the similar shape and shade options. These beauts are at a small fraction of the price (I swear, that math is easy) with good noise-blocking, 10 hours of play per charge, a built-in mic for calls, and cushy padding so you can put those extra HUNDREDS you're not spending on AirPods Max for a flight to your college roommate's wedding. Hanes Ultimate ankle socks can pass the comfort test for fans of Aritzia's TNA line. Yes, we're at that age where socks can be luxurious. A multipurpose blush stick to help create the lovely watercolor blush trend. Y'know what's even lovelier? Paying $7 for this instead of the $18 Pixi Beauty version so you can build and blend color to your heart's content. A no-scrub weekly shower cleaner to spray on after you shower, wait 8–12 hours while it tackles mold and mildew stains, soap scum, and just about any gross grime without YOU having to scrub. Talk about practical to the max. E.l.f.'s Holy Hydration! Thirst Burst Drops made to help plump up (hydrating hibiscus complex and hyaluronic acid) and brighten (niacinamide) your complexion for similar results to the $35 Glow Recipe Watermelon Dew Drops. Reviewers say it works great alone *or* mixed in with foundation. A Briotech spray can help soothe rosacea, eczema, rashes, sunburns, and other skin irritations for when your skin is just not cooperating thanks to hypochlorous acid (it's in your white blood cells and helps soothe inflammation). Tower 28 SOS Daily Rescue Spray is also what some call a miracle in a bottle. But Briotech is in a cheaper bottle. Some mid-weight sweatpants in case you wanna bring some luxe feel to your couch-rotting. Folks on TikTok compare these to Aritzia's for a fraction of the price. Everyone wear sweats but they don't have to be expensive sweats. A Thermacell mosquito repellent that also serves as a light source so you can squeeze in more hours on the patio without getting eaten alive by bugs. It works for a 20-foot zone! A mini sprinkler pool to help the fam cool off and get some water time without having to dump out a kiddie pool's worth of water once the fun has wrapped. Color Wow Dream Coat Supernatural Spray to stave off frizz and give you a glass-like sheen thanks to its anti-humidity powers. Even in the nastiest of weather. AND it's formulated for its effects to last through several washes. (Something to which I can attest.) A bug bite suction tool that'll help you out with existing bites to remove the irritating venom, and help reduce itchiness, pain, and swollenness. Plus it works on other insect stings. Think about all the scratching you could've saved yourself! A foaming garbage disposal cleaner to throw in your sink (the whole packet!), turn on the water, and watch fizz up as it does the tough work below on all the gunk that OTHER PEOPLE have let build up in your disposal. Lanolips SPF 30 lip balm for a nice, light, pineapple-y treat so you don't get back inside after a picnic and start wondering why your lips feel so tights. Your lips needs sunscreen too! But with this, it doesn't taste like you're wearing sunscreen. A set of limited edition wildflower Band-Aids so you can cover up all kinds of scratches from "exploring" in the woods behind your house with your toddler. Though, it was full of more sticks than wildflowers. This'll be a cute solution! A 360-degree portable neck fan for those sweltering days on the beach when you just seem to be pouring sweat — even in the shade of the umbrella. Just be sure to charge it with the USB before you pack your beach bag! Kimchi Almost Catfished finishing powder to help keep you matte on the go. It basically serves as a ~realistic~ filter for your face without looking like you put yourself through facetune like a Real Housewife who's running her own socials. Olay Super Serum Body Wash has niacinamide, shea butter, and collagen peptides in a formula made to provide 24-hour hydration so you don't have to slather on tons of lotion post-shower just to avoid feeling like a dehydrated dinosaur. Luigi's Sink and Drain Plunger — a mini plunger can find a spot under sinks around your home for when your roomie's meal-prepping routine wreaks havoc on your kitchen sink. Grab this and use it in the same amount of time it takes you to google a plumber. Sol de Janeiro Brazilian Bum Bum Cream contains caffeine, coconut oil, and guarana extract, which all make a lovely combo to help smooth, firm, and add a glow to your skin. Reviewers especially love the intoxicating scent and sometimes opt out of wearing perfume because the vanilla/salted caramel/pistachio scent is quite strong. A set of Liquid I.V. Hydration Multiplier packets, an electrolyte drink mix infused with potassium and vitamin C you can stir into a bottle of water to help speed up your hydration. After all, in the summer you aren't so good at drinking water. So this is a great preventative measure. (I also personally love these for travel and hangovers, and hangovers while you're traveling.) A portable safe for securing to a beach or pool chair to keep your valuables safe and from getting water on them or falling in the sand. Some Seastar neoprene slingback sandals that are *actually* water and boat shoes, though they look like regular espadrilles and you can wear them as such! These babies have TRACTION on them but are still comfy and won't rub. I own them and have worn them in the sea and on rocky beaches of France, Croatia, and Italy without slipping and hurting myself. Most recently, I used them to scramble over a bunch of rocks in Panama (as seen below). A clinical-strength antiperspirant if you've tried just about everything to stop sweating but you haven't found your holy grail yet. It has 12% aluminum chloride, which blocks sweat for up to 72(!!) dry hours. A pack of clinical-strength SweatBlock wipes could come in handy for hyperhidrosis, nervous sweating, and hormonal sweating any time of the year. But if summer really makes all that rear its ugly head, it's worth a try. You can apply it to your pits for bed and it's made to work for up to seven days. A pack of spill-proof Munchkin snack catchers will keep the Cheerios where they should be, either in the container or into your kid's on the ground. Some silicone can covers that'll make your Natty Lite look like a Coke Zero. But you may wanna warn your pals ahead of time before your day at the beach because everyone KNOWS you're a Diet Coke girly. Some dishwasher-cleaning tablets can get rid of residue that ends up creating odor and buildup on your dishes. You were lucky to score an apartment with a dishwasher but if it's not super effective, what's the use?! These are honestly so cheap that you'll wanna *add to cart* rather than texting your super to come by for a look. A flat RFID-blocking fanny pack can work underneath your clothes or as just a regular waist bag during travels. So it's a little go with the flow — within reason. A digital luggage scale will make sure that you aren't slammed with an overweight luggage fee (ugh) or having to move stuff from your checked bag to your carry-on to avoid said fee (also, ugh). A standing weeder (without the chemicals!) to help improve your view of your yard. You're not the only one who has trouble enjoying weed-filled scenery. If you normally recruit someone to weed for you because you can't comfortably (or simply don't enjoy) bending down to do it, you'll ADORE this tool. And a crack weeder tool that'll go where the larger weeder (and your hands!) can't if you're not opposed to getting down on the ground to weed, as long as the weeding is far more efficient! A set of three Cadence containers that are magnetized and'll stick together in your toiletries bag AND on your metal cruise ship bathroom walls. They're super sturdy, leak-proof, and even work great for a few days' worth of vitamins or holding small jewelry. They've quickly become one of my packing go-tos. A special brush can keep your dryer's lint trap clear of debris and make drying cycles/the appliance more effective for longer. If you aren't already cleaning out the lint trap with every cycle, grab this before calling out a repair person. Some vinyl picnic table and bench covers reviewers found extremely helpful for camping and park use. BUT they'll also give your sorry-looking backyard table a quick makeover. A set of Sea Bands with a little nub that targets the acupressure point on your wrists meant to help reduce nausea. This'll be especially great on vacation, in case you get motion sick in the car or on a boatride. A *foldable* wide-brim hat for helping you keep the sun off of your face, make your outfits look even cuter, and easily fit in your carry-on without crushing it. An oil stain remover capable of annihilating that grease stain that you thought made your garage or driveway a goner. No need for a professional assessment! A carpet cleaning solution with results so impressive (just cast your eyes below this text!) that you may have to bleep out your own reaction. Get ready to break up with your carpet cleaner rental spot. Remember when your carpet was beige instead of greige? A carpet cleaner to transform all sorts of soft surfaces in your home BESIDES your carpet (though it'll do amazing work there too). Turns out, you don't need to buy a new couch after that huge accident. OR rent out a pro carpet-cleaning machine for about half the cost of this beaut. (You'll def use it more than twice and get your money's worth.)

Lululemon's Chargefeel 3 workout shoes that have reviewers raving about their extreme comfort right out of the box. They have all the padding and springiness you need in a fitness-oriented shoe, but that'll come in handy when you're running to catch the bus or chasing your toddler at the park too.

Or pointed-toe ballet flats from Vivaia — also machine-washable — that'll bring a heavy dose of charm to your look. Its sock-like knit material is both breathable and antimicrobial, and the toe box is five degrees wider than standard pointed flats to help prevent painful cramping. Also, the herbal insole offers some arch support, and the heel has padding to protect against rubbing! I mean!!

47 Cheap Product Swaps You'll Wish You'd Made Earlier
Nortiv 8 walking shoes with the pillowy comfort and bold color combos of Hokas on the cheap, so you can splurge a little bit on that boutique boxing class this week instead of shelling out more to replace the name-brand shoes. Gold Bond's firming neck and chest cream to *gently* hydrate, exfoliate, and tighten the skin that's more sensitive than the rest of your body but less sensitive than the skin on your face. This makes for a lovely, quite effective in-between formula packed with aloe, salicylic acid, and jojoba oil in a formula that reviewers say works just as well as much pricier creams. Good Molecules Pineapple Exfoliating Powder made with natural rice starches and pineapple, kiwi, and papaya extracts that'll foam up and *gently* polish skin, giving you similar results to the $68 Dermalogica version. You can use it up to four times a week to see (and feel) the benefits without harsh scrubs or panicking a little bit at your Ulta total. Plus, Good Molecules Yerba Mate Wake Up Eye Gel. Reviewers swear that this works just as well as $$$ eye creams at minimizing puffiness and swelling thanks to a powerhouse duo of caffeine and hyaluronic acid. A set of seamless "invisible" underwear that are an awful lot like pricier versions from Victoria's Secret you always wait 'til a sale to stock up on. Now you won't have to do math to figure out how much longer you can put off laundry based on what undies are clean. Hanes Ultimate ankle socks that'll pass the comfort test for fans of Aritzia's TNA line. Yes, we're at that age where socks can be luxurious. An Elizavecca hair treatment to give you "rich girl hair" thanks to its collagen and ceramide 3 formula. And it'll take just a few minutes of your time, like as little as five minutes post-shampoo. Because time is money, money is power, and power is pizza. (In case you were curious, lots of reviewers say they prefer it over $$$ Olaplex.) E.l.f. Lash Xtndr Tubing Mascara if you've tried pricier versions but have shied away from rebuying because of $$$. Seriously, just try this! It's so good that I'm currently on my THIRD tube. A Lululemon-inspired tennis skirt with built-in shorts and a secret inner pocket because are you even living your best summer life if you're not claw-handing your iced coffee and phone in one hand while you wildly gesticulate as you tell your friend a story on a neighborhood walk? No need to worry about a strong breeze. A tinted lip balm you'd SWEAR is Clinique's $25 "Almost Lipstick" Black Honey for the lovely, sophisticated hue it'll turn your lips. This is great for people who 1) always want a little lip color, 2) hate a sticky feel, and 3) love a bargain. A pair of wireless over-the-ear headphones you might mistake for AirPods Max if you weren't paying close attention thanks to the similar shape and shade options. These beauts are at a small fraction of the price (I swear, that math is easy) with good noise-blocking, 10 hours of play per charge, a built-in mic for calls, and cushy padding so you can put those extra HUNDREDS you're not spending on AirPods Max for a flight to your college roommate's wedding. Essence's Drop of Sunshine Bronzing Drops will help you fake that you spent the weekend taking in the sunshine instead of sick and holed up on your couch catching up on all the horror movies you've been meaning to watch. And at $33 cheaper than the Drunk Elephant version, you might just go ahead and invest in a second or third bottle now. Reviewers say it's super hydrating and buildable! A CZ tennis bracelet with tons of reviewers who say it can pass as actual diamonds. Listen, you want a glamorous stack but you don't have to choose between that and a long weekend at a beach resort. A set of wrist and ankle weights will feel like an extra fun accessory after you look up how the pricing ($22-ish) compares to similar Bala Bangles ($50-ish). Slip on these before you take a stroll with a pal to get in your steps. Just be prepared for the onslaught of compliments by passersby. A pair booty-highlighting biker shorts people say are dead ringers for $48 Buffy Bunny ones in case warmer weather has you looking for workout shorts that'll stay put through runs, squats, and more. An elegant set of square wineglasses that reviewers point out are VERY similar to the pricier ones sold at Crate & Barrel. Whether you're just drinking some water out of them or some actual Prosecco, they'll certainly elevate the moment. (Now you won't have to be SO precious about your wineglasses!) Sliick Ingrown Rescue Solution to halt painful (and unsightly) ingrown hairs before you realize they've rudely shown up on your first beach day of the year, no matter how you're DIY-ing hair removal. AND it's half the price of holy grail Tend Skin! Self-Tanner for some super-easy-to-apply color that'll develop in an hour. No need to book a (costly) spray tan appointment. (Psst, reviewers who've previously sworn by St. Tropez products have made the switch!) A trendy tote bag that'll give Longchamp Le Pliage vibes for about a sixth of the price. This bag silhouette is SO handy and practical but looks sophisticated, even if you've got some Flamin' Hot Cheetos in there that's your only potluck contribution to your pal's bday picnic. A long-sleeve bodysuit will wrap you up in an incredibly soft fabric that reviews oft compare to Skims. AND it's supportive enough so you can wear it without a bra, which is always a great thing! Plus, a stretchy bodycon pencil dress with heaps of Skims comparisons for the shape and stretch. I'm guessing this is what Morticia Addams would wear to an all-inclusive beach resort. Catrice "Instant Awake" Under Eye Brightener can be a quick, easy fix for concealing and brightening your under-eye dark circles because you don't wanna have to do a full face every single day. This "invisible" coverage oft gets compared to the $33 Becca version. A cutesy juice glass that'll run you $6 less a pop than the iconic Anthro icon juice glasses. Once you start collecting 'em, you may not want to stop! E.l.f. Soft Glam Foundation has buildable full coverage without *looking* like you put on a layer or two (I should know, it's become my go-to!). Its satiny finish leaves you looking all dewy and has garnered some compliments from friends who see me often enough to tell the difference! After all, finding your holy-grail foundation is a JOURNEY. Might as well try the affordable, effective ones first! E.l.f. Glow Reviver Melting Lip Balm in case your lip balm habit (and losing-your-lip-balm habit) is start to eat into your fun money. Fans of Laneige, Rhode, *and* Summer Fridays are in the reviews singing this stuff's praises. A baroque-inspired mirror to instantly dress up an entry or hallway. The gilded frame looks equally great hung on a wall or atop a console. And every time you gaze upon your reflection in it, you can think about the dough you saved by opting for this one over the more expensive Anthro version. Now you can FINALLY replace that mirror from your college dorm. E.l.f. Halo Glow Liquid Filter that'll free up a bit of coin if you've been eyeing Charlotte Tilbury's Hollywood Flawless Filter as a glow-getter on a budget. This stuff has hyaluronic acid and squalane to give you that lit-from-within for less than the cost of a pricey chopped salad from that place beside your office. Some sharp-looking pointed-toe flats with similar comfy, machine-washable features to pricier Rothy's or Vivaia flats. You'll be glad you packed these to get you from Notre-Dame to the Eiffel Towel on a long but gorgeous scenic view! And when you get home, you can toss 'em in the wash to look like new for your next adventure! A pair of retro-style oval sunglasses your nemesis will mistake for the $400+ Miu Miu ones, which is fine. Let 'em think that and put that extra cash toward whatever else you want. Or some oversize square sunnies if you've been admiring the Bottega Veneta version but have such a horrible track record with keeping sunglasses in fighting shape that you can't in good conscience spend hundreds on a pair. Slip-on mules because you're not allowed to wear sneakers to the office (I'm emailing HR on your behalf) but don't do heels. You'll get all kinds of use out of these comfy alts to the pricier Madewell Gemma mules without having to MAKE yourself wear them enough times just to make yourself feel better about dropping serious dough on them. Platform slippers you've eyed on so many other people in public (or, well, the similar but more expensive Ugg Tazz) and want in on the cozy style. Once you slip your feet into the faux-fur shoes, you'll find every which way to wear — even in the sweaty pits of summer. A multipurpose blush stick you can try out to create the lovely watercolor blush trend. Y'know what's even lovelier? Paying $7 for this instead of the $18 Pixi Beauty version so you can build and blend color to your heart's content. Cushionaire slides to help satisfy your old dogs' yearning for comfy Birks (there are 1k+ reviews comparing them) for significantly less. A "Soft" perfume rollerball that's definitely made an appearance or five in your FYP scroll. It's only $5 and smells totally delightful (it gets compared to sweet treats like waffle cones). BUT! That's not the only reason to love it. It reminds reviewers of the $65 bottle of Pink Sugar 👀 and layers like a dream. Or a Creamy Coconut fragrance rollerball to have everyone assuming you paid full price for the $25 Sol de Janeiro fragrance. Even if your immediate plans don't entail sitting on a beach and drinking out of an actual coconut, you can still catch a whiff of the island vibe with this sweet scent. A longline sports bra you can (and tbh, SHOULD) just wear as a crop top. It's too hot out for shirts that cover your belly button and regular bras. E.l.f.'s Holy Hydration! Thirst Burst Drops made to help plump up (hydrating hibiscus complex and hyaluronic acid) and brighten (niacinamide) your complexion for similar results to the $35 Glow Recipe Watermelon Dew Drops. Reviewers say it works great alone *or* mixed in with foundation. Dossier's "Ambery Vanilla" perfume because you thought about shelling out for YSL's Black Opium but your budget said no despite all your other perfume bottles being on empty. Etude's delightfully multipurpose Dear Darling Water Tint, which a lot of reviewers compare to Benefit's Lip Tint. This smudgeproof formula is designed primarily to be a natural-looking, weightless lip stain, but reviewers use it as a blush as well! A Briotech spray can help soothe rosacea, eczema, rashes, sunburns, and other skin irritations for when your skin is just not cooperating thanks to hypochlorous acid (it's in your white blood cells and helps soothe inflammation). Tower 28 SOS Daily Rescue Spray is also what some call a miracle in a bottle. But Briotech is in a cheaper bottle. Some mid-weight sweatpants in case you wanna bring some luxe feel to your couch-rotting. Folks on TikTok compare these to Aritzia's for a fraction of the price. Everyone wear sweats but they don't have to be expensive sweats. A half-zip pullover sweatshirt that'll run you far less than Lulu's $118 scuba hoodies. Mise En Scene Perfect Serum, a K-beauty product that's probably come across your radar for its stunning before-and-after results *and* lower price tag than a comparable $46 Gisou hair oil. Locking down a cheap but transformative hair oil will soften the blow of putting off having your split ends snipped off for a few more months. Catrice's Magic Shaper Face Cream Palette to help you build out and highlight your face's gorgeous assets for a mere $8 instead of $88 with a similar Makeup Forever palette. Listen, you don't have to spend a bunch of money to LOOK it. And a palette like this is gonna last you a while. A set of satin pillowcases that are MUCH cheaper than other brands' but they're so legit that I own five pairs of them. I even pack them for travel! Once you start sleeping on one of these (they're cooling and keep your hair and skin more moisturized), you won't want to go back to a cotton pillowcase. A slightly compressive layering T-shirt that comes in different colors and at a very budget-friendly price, so you can stock up on them to help fill wardrobe gaps. Oh, and the kicker? Reviewers say it feels like Skims shirts but, obviously, for cheaper.

The best Memorial Day sales are live: Shop early deals from Amazon, Target, Best Buy and more
Our lawns are lush, daylight is lingering a little longer and if you're anything like me, you're already counting how many lazy pool days you can rack up before Labor Day. Summer's not officially here yet, but just like those chirping birds, Memorial Day sales are here. Whether you've got an adventure on your mind this weekend or just want to chill with a cold drink and zero responsibilities, this is a solid time to treat yourself — no justification needed. Been eyeing a bigger screen for the Stanley Cup playoffs (or to show off your curated taste in digital art)? Samsung's 55-inch Frame TV just dropped by $500. Need new kicks? These top-selling Hokas are $30 off. And for those summer hangs where your beat-up canvas tote just won't cut it, there's a Kate Spade pochette going for nearly $200 less than usual. Here are the best early Memorial Day sales worth checking out right now: If you've been looking to get some Apple gear or upgrade a TV, now's one of the best times to score big savings before summer. Soon the sun will be setting after 8 p.m., warmer days will be on the way and you'll be glad you grabbed that MacBook Air or pair of AirPods while they were on mega sale. Some highlights: Apple iPad 11th Gen ($299, originally $349): This is one of the best tablets you can buy, period. While we've seen this model for cheaper, it's still a good deal for the quality and performance you get — especially with features like the A16 Bionic chip, 10-hour battery life and that gorgeous Retina display. Sony WH-1000XM4 Noise-Cancelling Headphones ($228, originally $348): These Sony headphones aren't just any old pair of cans. They boast a solid 30 hours of battery life as well as quick charging (a 10-minute charge will get you five hours of playback), so you won't be hunting for an outlet mid-listen. And with touch-sensor controls, adjusting volume or skipping tracks is as easy as a tap. Apple iPad Mini ($399, originally $499): Traditional iPads are a bit too cumbersome for your daily routine? The smaller, more approachable iPad mini may be right up your alley. At only 8.3 inches, it's compact enough to hold with just one hand. Samsung The Frame 55-inch 4K Smart TV ($998, originally $1,498): The original art TV that created the category is not only easy on the eyes, but easy on the wallet. (That empty wall in the living room is calling its name.) It's available in six other sizes, ranging from 43 to 85 inches, and all are on sale. Apple AirPods Pro 2 ($187, originally $249): Offering premium sound, seamless connectivity and a comfy, all-day fit, these fan-favorite buds are worth it. TCL 55-inch 4K QLED TV ($700, originally $1,000): Think Samsung is the only company making Art TVs these days? Think again (in fact, you can check out all of the Art TVs we've tested right here). This one from TCL will save you a bit of coin compared to The Frame, thanks to this $300-off steal of a deal at Best Buy. Apple MacBook Air ($899, originally $999): This beast can handle all of the streaming, spreadsheets, writing and scrolling you can throw at it. Want to edit photos or videos? Go wild. The M4 chip can handle it. Twelve South AirFly Pro Bluetooth Audio Transmitter ($42, originally $55): Ever wish you could connect your earbuds to the in-flight entertainment rather than using those flimsy headphones the airline hands out? Senior Tech Writer Rick Broida calls this a "genius gadget" in his review, saying it "worked flawlessly, pairing easily with my AirPods Pro and remembering that connection from one session to the next." (Psst: You can also hook it up to the treadmill at the gym.) There are two types of people in this world: those who love to cook and those who have the local takeout pizza place on speed dial. No shame in falling into either camp, but we'd bet those in the latter group might enjoy preparing food more if they owned the right tools. We're talking cookware that doesn't stick, knives that are actually sharp and maybe even an air fryer to keep from having to wait for the oven to preheat. Well, all of those things — and more — happen to be on sale, so go ahead and flex those culinary muscles without overexerting your wallet. HexClad 6-Piece Hybrid Fry-Pan Set ($400, originally $532): Gordon Ramsay's an official partner of this brand, and you know how particular he is. The pans' hybrid construction combines the best qualities of stainless steel, cast iron and nonstick for a one-of-a-kind product that, according to Ramsay, "is highly versatile and cooks exceptionally well." With this starter set, you'll get the 12-inch, 10-inch and 8-inch pans, plus lids for each, and a bonus 10-inch hybrid wok — and for nearly 25% off. Ninja Creami 7-in-1 Ice Cream Maker ($200, originally $229): Keep the treats flowing all year long with this top-rated appliance, which makes churning out customizable frozen goodies a breeze. (It's also Yahoo editor-approved — check out our review for more). Le Creuset Signature Oval Dutch Oven, 8-Quart ($300, originally $475): If there's one thing Le Creuset is known for, it's Dutch ovens. As stunning as it is functional, this roomy pot holds enough food to feed a crowd and can go in the oven at temperatures up to 500°F. Use it to cook those cozy comfort dishes like stew, braised meat, mashed potatoes ... you can even bake bread in it. It's also ideal for deep-frying and roasting a chicken. This price is the lowest we've seen it anywhere online. Henckels 20-Piece Knife Set ($140, originally $345): This collection has every type of blade a home cook could need, so if the ones in your drawer can barely pierce through a tomato anymore, you'll want to add this to your cart while it's down to an all-time low at nearly 60% off. Blackstone 17" Griddle w/ Stand, Hood, Bag & Tool Set ($240, originally $300): Want to be the king of the campsite? Top dog of the tailgate? Forget the grill, the griddle is where it's at. Smashburgers, stir-fry, heck, even breakfast can all be easily mastered on a Blackstone. Longzon 5-Stage Knife Sharpener ($10, originally $34): A dull knife just won't cut it when it comes to efficient (and safe) slicing and dicing. If you'd rather not shell out for a whole new set of blades, you can hone the ones you already have courtesy of this nifty tool. It has five settings for sharpening and polishing just about any knife in your kitchen, aside from ceramic blades. KitchenClouds Anti-Fatigue Kitchen Mat ($13, originally $22): If you spend lots of time in the kitchen, your feet deserve a cushy surface to stand on during all of that cooking (and dishwashing). This highly rated anti-fatigue mat is made from comfy foam to help take some of the pressure off of your muscles and joints, and its nonslip bottom will stay put without sliding around. Kelamayi Self-Cleaning Broom and Dustpan Set ($19, originally $26): This dustpan is equipped with teeth that'll dislodge clumps of hair and dirt for you, because post-cleaning cleanup is no one's idea of a good time. What is fun, however, is the fact that this duo is marked down to its best price ever. Do yourself a favor and spruce up your home before you get too distracted by summer's charms. Bath mats that will keep your feet warm and dry as soon as you step out of the shower, an electric scrubber that practically does the cleaning for you, chairs that will quickly turn your backyard patio into an idyllic oasis ... these sales have it all. Shark IQ Self-Emptying Robot Vacuum ($248, originally $499): Robovacs come in clutch for lazy — er, I mean, efficient — cleaners. But for a completely hands-off experience? You'll want a self-cleaning model, like this popular unit. It can run up to 110 minutes per charge, and its large dust bin can hold about 60 days' worth of debris before needing to be emptied. Olanly Extra Soft Absorbent Chenille Bath Rugs ($10, originally $15): Who wants to step out of the shower dripping wet and have the first thing your feet touch be a cold and slippery tile floor? With this markdown, you can grab one of these for less than the cost of most towels. Khelfer Electric Spin Scrubber ($16 with Prime, coupon and code, originally $50): It's 2025; why are you using elbow grease to clean your house when you could just pick up one of these bad boys and wake up tomorrow sans back pain, especially now that it's priced at an all-time, nearly 70%-off low? Resin Stackable Adirondack Chair ($18, originally $25): The Adirondack chair is one of those furniture items that is perfectly designed. Comfy and aesthetically pleasing, they're great around a table, pool or fire pit. These resin ones from Target have taken the original design and updated it for a more modern look, and I'm here for it. CGK Unlimited Store Queen Size 4 Piece Sheet Set ($21, originally $42): These days, you can expect to pay a premium for quality bedding, so $15 for a set with as many rave reviews as this one is a huge win in our book. This is also the lowest we've seen this sheet set — ever! Fab Totes Clothes Storage Bags, 6-Pack ($14, originally $25): Whether you're stowing away shorts and sundresses in the winter or puffer coats and comforters in the summer, these roomy storage bags will keep everything organized from season to season. Each one has an impressive 60-liter capacity, along with see-through front panels so you won't forget what you stashed in them. Cozsinoor Bed Pillows, Queen, 2-Pack ($19, originally $36): Want to start your bedtime on the right foot, er, head? You'd be wise to snag this popular pair while it's down to a record low. Filled with a lofty down alternative stuffing, these plush, machine-washable pillows are moisture-wicking and promote airflow for a more comfortable slumber. Plus, they're designed to be suitable for stomach, back and side sleepers. Whether winter did a number on your skin or you're tired of spending a fortune on in-office teeth-whitening treatments, you're in luck: There's no shortage of deals on all your beauty must-haves. For starters, this teeth-whitening pen is designed for sensitive chompers, and it's over half off. Laura Geller Baked Balance-n-Brighten Color Correcting Powder Foundation ($18, originally $37): This is the lowest price I've ever seen for this Amazon bestseller! The user-friendly bronzing powder contains color-correcting pigments to help even out unbalanced skin while leaving you looking natural, not like you've slathered on a ton of product. MySmile Teeth Whitening Pen 30+ Treatment ($17, originally $40): Once a day, just twist the pen's base to release the gel into its brush-tip applicator, then "paint" it onto your chompers and leave it for 30-60 minutes. After five days, you should see a difference (i.e., as much as 10 shades whiter). Crest 3D Whitestrips Sensitive At-Home Teeth-Whitening Kit ($39, originally $50): Reviewers (and this writer) can attest that this kit delivers on its pro-level, smile-brightening claims. It promises to remove up to 15 years' worth of stains from your chompers. Plus, it's designed with sensitive smiles in mind. CeraVe Eye Repair Cream ($14, originally $20): This top-selling cream contains three restorative ceramides, moisturizing hyaluronic acid and soothing niacinamide to combat dryness and reduce the appearance of dark circles and puffiness. Grace & Stella Energizing Eye Masks ($20 with coupon, originally $29): These patches use plant-based collagen, vitamin C and hyaluronic acid to hydrate the delicate skin underneath your eyes. They have a cooling effect that soothes and brightens tired eyes and help reduce puffiness, which can give you a more youthful, refreshed appearance. Bliss Bright Idea Vitamin C + Tri-Peptide Facial Serum ($24, originally $30): This serum contains a high concentration of Vitamin C along with tripeptides and green tea extract to help restore skin to its youthful, glowy best. Gold Bond Age Renew Neck & Chest Firming Cream ($11, originally $16): The Gold Bond firming cream is no frills but gets the job done (the job being tighter jowls and a less reptilian neck). The formula is lightweight and on the thin side, but the product absorbs well and is gentle enough not to irritate sensitive skin. Paula's Choice Skin Perfecting Exfoliate ($28, originally $35): "I've tried dozens of products to reduce the appearance of my enlarged pores and banish blackheads," explains Senior Beauty Editor Jennifer Romolini, "and this is by far the most effective. It's easy to use and non-irritating, and you only need a drop or two each night to see results — this 4 ounce size has lasted almost a year." Welcome to sandals, shorts and sundresses season! Ring in the rising temps with fleece sweatpants, comfortable leggings and standout sneakers that are just as great for running errands as they are for date night and beyond. Hoka Clifton 9 ($117, originally $145): Hokas are one of the most popular brands of walking and running shoes for a reason. With the release of the Clifton 10s, we've spotted markdowns on the Clifton 9s across a multitude of retailers — though stock is going fast. Our tip: If you see your size in stock in a color you like, nab it before someone else does. Lululemon Align High-Rise Pant ($49-$69, originally $98): Take it from us: These are hands down the softest, comfiest leggings you'll ever wear. They're ideal for low-impact workouts or just hanging out at home. You can save up to 50% right now, but colors and sizes are selling out fast! Anthropologie The Somerset Maxi Dress ($120, originally $168): Yahoo Initiatives Editor Julia Webb says her mom owns three of these dresses from Anthropologie and they are compliment magnets. Read her full review of the gorgeous maxi dress here, then shop one for yourself while it's down to $120. Want something with a shorter hem? A mini Somerset is also on sale, as is an uber-trendy butter yellow shirtdress version. Anrabess Two Piece Lounge Set ($34, originally $50): Loungewear looks luxe when it's monochromatic. Even though this set is casual, it feels so sophisticated and exemplifies the rich mom aesthetic that's been trending for a while. The pale apricot hue is a dream, but there are 17 colors to shop. Wiholl Summer Top ($12, originally $26): We found a tee that's anything but boring, and it's just as comfy as those well-worn styles you have folded in your drawer. This adorable square neck design has charming ruffled trim and slightly puffed sleeves that give it a fun, trendy vibe. Hanes Jersey Pocket Shorts ($13, originally $19): Our readers can't get enough of these practical picks, raving about how comfortable they are for everything from puttering around the house to vacation (where those pockets will come in handy). The shorts are soft and durable, with a wide elastic waistband and a drawstring for a secure fit. Colorfulkoala Dreamlux High Waisted Workout Leggings ($28, originally $34): How do we love these leggings? Let us count the ways: For starters, the material is so soft and smooth that it rivals Lululemon's, and the wide waistband provides ample support without feeling too constricting. The fabric whisks away sweat while you work out, and shoppers say they pass the squat test. Stock up while you can get double discounts! Evaless Round Neck Short Sleeve Shirt ($15, originally $18): You're looking at the chicest $15 you'll ever spend. We love the idea of pairing this crinkly blouse with tailored trousers for an office-appropriate ensemble at work. On weekends, you can pair it with some cute jean shorts and if you're heading out for a night on the town, try it with a midi skirt for a sleek duo. Seriously, this'll go with everything. Nike Sportswear Phoenix Fleece Sweatpants ($39, originally $70): If you love the feel of sweatpants but don't want to look like you just rolled out of bed (even if you have), this fleece pair is for you and right now they're 44% off! On Cloudnova Form 2 ($113, originally $140): Part performance, part streetwear, the Cloudnova Form 2 doesn't scream gym shoe, but it can move. Lightweight, breathable and stylish, it's made for walking the dog, hitting the gym or just pairing with leggings for a coffee run. Amazon: We're seeing savings of up to 70% on everything from bedding and kitchenware to tech, clothing and beauty. Best Buy: Save up to 50% on appliances, as well as on TVs, laptops, headphones and tablets. Nordstrom: The Half-Yearly Sale is here! Save up to 60% on Hoka, Tory Burch, Barefoot Dreams and more. QVC: Tap the retailer's massive clearance section for savings on fashion, accessories, home essentials and more — plus, new customers get $15 off their first order of $35 or more with code HELLO15. REI: The retailer has a plethora of great offerings during it's An: Score up to 50% off clothing, footwear, REI Co-Op brand deals and hiking items. Target: You can always count on Target to bring the deals, including up to 35% off floor care, up to 40% off indoor furniture and up to 20% off patio and garden. Lodge 7.5 Quart Enameled Cast Iron Dutch Oven for $55 (originally $75): "This tough-as-nails pot has 'Lodged' its way in my heart," praised Senior Deals Writer Britt Ross. "There's not much I haven't made in this thing, from pasta dishes and stews to fried doughnuts, and it's all turned out exceptionally. Its 7.5-quart capacity can fit enough to feed a crowd, and since it's heat-safe up to 500°F, I never have to worry when placing it in the oven. Its slick enamel coating makes cleanup a cinch — never more than a rinse with soap and water, followed by a quick wipe." grace & stella Award Winning Under Eye Mask for $19 (originally $29): Don't sleep on this deal! Not only will you be left without bags under your eyes, but you'll be spending a heckuva a lot less for these collagen-, glycerin- and vitamin C-infused eye masks. MySmile Teeth Whitening Pen for $19 (originally $40): Say cheese! Your journey to brighter teeth just got a lot easier, thanks to this whitening kit. All you do is apply the gel to your teeth via the pen for 30-60 minutes a day, and after five days, you should see a serious difference (i.e., as much as 10 shades whiter). You'll get about 30 treatments out of this pack, and at 60% off, this is one of the best prices I've seen it marked down to. Now that's something to smile about. CAROTE 14 Pcs Pots and Pans Set for $70 (originally $110): Get unstuck with a set of slick pots and pans. This attractive 14-piece collection just about has it all: 8- and 11-inch frying pans, a 4.3-quart casserole with lid, 1.8- and 4.5-quart saucepans with lids, four pan protectors, a spatula and a mixing spoon. That's all for $70 — less than you'd pay for a single pan from many brands. Beats Studio Pro for $170 (originally $200): These Oprah faves feature one-touch pairing, up to 40 total hours of battery life and fast-charging capabilities. If you want them at this low price, don't press pause. Apple AirPods 4 Wireless Earbuds for $120 (originally $129): If you've been holding off on buying AirPods until there's a sale, consider this the time to pounce. Now, they don't include active noise cancellation like these do, but if it's a high-quality, comfortable listening experience you're after, these earbuds more than deliver. With up to five hours of listening time per charge (and 30 hours of battery life via the charging case), you'll be able to enjoy music, podcasts, audiobooks and more with limited interruption. Shark IQ Robot Vacuum for $248 (originally $499): Robovacs come in clutch for lazy — er, I mean, efficient — cleaners like me. But for a completely hands-off experience? You'll want a self-cleaning model, like this popular unit. It can run up to 110 minutes per charge, and its large dust bin can hold about 60 days' worth of debris before needing to be emptied. Not to mention, it's currently on sale for its lowest price yet. Colorfulkoala Women's High Waisted Yoga Pants for $20 (originally $25): Even regularly priced at $25, these leggings would be a steal — but a discount is a discount, and you can grab certain colors and sizes of these beloved bottoms for just $20 today. That means you can snag a whopping five of these for the same price as just a single pair of similar-but-pricier options like the popular Lululemon Align leggings. Apple iPad mini for $399 (originally $499): Traditional iPads are a bit too cumbersome for your daily routine? The smaller, more approachable iPad mini may be right up your alley. At only 8.3 inches, it's compact enough to hold with just one hand.

Amazon is selling 'comfortable' $38 slip-on sneakers that 'look and feel just like Hokas'
TheStreet aims to feature only the best products and services. If you buy something via one of our links, we may earn a commission. Even when Hoka shoes are on sale, they still lean on the more expensive side. So if you're on the hunt for a good alternative, there's one Amazon find you're going to want to see. For a limited time, you can get the Allswifit Slip-On Sneakers for just $38, which is a 30% discount from the original $55 price. With a sale like that, you can get four pairs for the price of one pair of Hokas. Shoppers say these Allswifit sneakers are "just as good, if not better," than name brands like Hokas, Brooks, and New Balance. With a thick midsole and 10 eye-catching colorways to choose from, reviewers compare it to Hoka Bondi 9 Shoes. By looks alone, we can see why, but it turns out these shoes have an equally "comfortable" interior with a soft insole and EVA foam midsole that helps with shock absorption and impact on the joints. To add to its comfort level and stability, the shoes have an X-shaped TPU anti-torsion plate with a 3D textured design in the midsole that offers a secure fit and helps prevent twisting while you what the Allswifit sneakers have that gives them a step-up from Hokas is their slip-on design with elastic, no-tie laces. One shopper says that they're easy to take on and off," and another adds that they even "wear better than Hokas," too. With shoes that "look and feel just like Hokas without the price tag," the Allswifit Slip-On Sneakers are an incredible find and must-have for anyone who loves a comfortable pair of shoes that they can wear on a walk, to the gym, and for everyday casual wear.
