Just FYI, BuzzFeed and its publishing partners may collect a share of sales and/or other compensation from the links on this page. Shopping · It's a really good time to save on things your home deserves, from cute decor to cozy bedding to must-having cleaning and kitchen items. Amazon's Big Spring Sale is here! There are tons of deals, some better than that's where we come in. We waded through the mountains of bargains for you and found some of the best deals in every category. FYI, sometimes deals move *fast*. We'll do our best to keep this post and imagery as up-to-date as possible, but we can't catch everything immediately. Check back throughout the day to see our latest updates as the deals change! 1. 58% off a TP-Link WiFi extender (a new lowest ever price) so you can boost your service throughout the whole house, even in those dead zones where your movies or files always buffer. Whether you've got a Zoom work meeting or an equally important episode of The Office to rewatch, this extender won't disappoint. Promising review:"I purchased this item because my job went from hybrid to work from home. My internet router is located in my master bedroom, but my office is in the middle of my house, meaning I didn't have a strong signal for work. I called my internet provider, and they wanted to charge me a lot of money to extend the internet across my house. I ended up buying this extender to help with the signal. I'm glad I purchased it because now I have coverage on the other side of my house. It was easy to install, and the app is super simple, all for a great price. Thanks to the TP-Link extender, without it, I would've had to go back to work at the office." — Jary 2. 71%(!!) off a five-quart Cuisinart salad spinner so you can easily rinse and drain your favorite lettuces — plus other produce — without risking a soggy salad with watered-down dressing 🤢. This is a time-saver *and* a money saver, especially if that tub of lettuce tends to in your produce drawer until it gets tossed. This is at a new lowest price, btw. Promising review:"This is my second purchase of this salad spinner. The first one was for me; I like it so much I bought another for a friend. It is so easy to wash lettuce in this and then spin most of the excess water off, and then you have wonderful, fresh, crunchy lettuce! It is so, so worth the little bit of effort it takes. If I spin more than I need at the time, I put the rest, with half a paper towel, into a large Ziploc bag and put it in the fridge. It stays fresh and crunchy for days, unlike the grocery store bagged lettuce that wilts and gets slimy and brown the day after you open it. I love this salad spinner!" — Spice 3. 30% off (that's $140 off, a good deal for this model and the cheapest it goes for outside of Cyber Week) a Dyson V8 Plus cordless vacuum that's lightweight, powerful, and capable of capturing ~99.99% of particles~. Plus it comes with a hair attachment to pick up pet fur and shed human hair too! Promising review:" Best vacuum for pet hair. After going through many different makes of vacuum cleaners, I have finally found one that works for the fur of our long-haired dog. I had heard how great the Dyson series of vacuums were, but was always put off by the cost. Finally, after being frustrated by other brands which were effective for a period but then became more useful as doorstops than as a cleaner, I made the decision to "bite the bullet" and spend the extra money on the brand-name vacuum. The first time I used my Dyson, it picked up handfuls of fur from areas that I thought were clean. The carpets look cleaner, and hardwood floors pristine. Suction is strong even on the lower setting to make floors look like new. Emptying the canister is as easy as could be. Battery life is sufficient to clean my small home. I love that by placing the Dyson in the wall hanger it attaches directly to the charger. No searching for charging cords, or charging/change detachable batteries. My Dyson is always ready and charged whenever I need it. It is neatly tucked away, taking up little room. Being an older person, I appreciate the fact that the Dyson is lightweight and easily maneuvered. It is light enough that when the head is removed and used separately, makes cleaning our carpeted stairs easier than ever. In summary, I love my Dyson, and would recommend that the extra cost is well worth it. You will save yourself the frustration of purchasing multiple machines which are not effective. and which will end up costing more in the long-run. My only regret is that by thinking of the cost I was actually denying myself the "pleasure" of a cleaner home. I don't worry about how much our beautiful dog sheds, and can enjoy her playful personality." — Rosey Posey 4. Or! 40% off an Amazon exclusive Roomba vacuum so you can watch your house get cleaned without even having to get up from the couch. It works in neat rows to pick up dirt, dust, crumbs and more from hard floors in carpeting without missing a spot. And you can set it to clean on a schedule (even when you're away!) so you can come home from vacay to a cleaner home. Promising review:"So I haven't owned a Roomba since I moved 5 years ago. This spring, I bought a BoB, and he was awful; I ended up returning it. So we just bought a house with even flooring throughout, and I thought I'd give this guy a shot. It was on sale for a great price and I thought I was taking my he is AWESOME!!!! He did not get caught on anything- ANYTHING!!!!! He does his job, finds his dock and there is one less thing for me to do in my busy day. We even have little bathroom mats next to our bed and he didn't get jammed up in those. I am extremely happy with this purchase!!! Highly recommend, treat yourself- life is short!" — EBEmily 5. 30% off a Dawn Powerwash starter set (a spray plus three refills) — if you don't know, it's a borderline magical spray-on dish soap that BLASTS through tough grease and baked-on messes with ease, so doing the dishes after dinner (including lasagna pans!) just got easier. But if you have a greasy range hood or backsplash, or you want to deep clean your cooktop or grill, this is *perfect* for that too, cutting through the toughest messes! Promising review:"This product works very well at cleaning heavily soiled and greasy surfaces. It has a pleasant smell and cuts my cleaning time in half. I buy this by the case for use at our business. The time I save cleaning more than pays for the cost of the product. I will definitely be buying this product again." — Mary Essenpreis 6. 49% off *plus* an additional 10% off a super slim bathroom storage cabinet — 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. Amazon 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 7. 33% off a basic Zojirushi rice cooker (the cheapest it's been since last July) — reviewers love this Japanese brand's rice cookers that last for years — even decades. You'll get *perfectly* fluffy results every time, without having to babysit the stove or worry about cook times. And tons of reviewers love the more basic models like this one so much, they end up upgrading to the fancier ones a few years later! Promising review:" UPDATE: It's been 5 years with the new as reliable and functional as the original. No changes to my original comments. I generally make only 2-4 cups of rice at a time. I've made up to 7 cups without the "splatter" described by others. Maybe if I made 9-10 cups it would, but you could cover the weep hole with a small cloth. I'd recommend buying the bigger size if you are concerned. Still very happy! I purchased my first Zojirushi rice cooker over 25 years ago while stationed in Japan. The cooker worked unfailingly for over 25 years until this year. As I searched for a replacement — reviewing the multitude of complex rice cookers — I realized what I wanted was the same cooker I had. This is the model! I wanted it to cook rice correctly in a timely manner. I'm not a rice Japanese take it to an art form, so maybe the more complex machines result in a better dining experience. For me, this rice cooker delivers fluffy, perfect rice every time. I tend to cook about 3 cups (dry volume) rice each time. Add water, add rice, flip the lever to cook and in about 20-25 minutes I have great rice for dinner. If that's what you need, then this is the product. Lid is glass and has a small weep hole. I read that this hole spits and made a mess. This is NOT my experience at all. In fact, my old lid (light aluminum, no hole) occasionally caused a small mess. This does not. I've had this product now for 3 months. It's a simple cooker that works perfectly and exactly like the one I had for 25 years. Very, very happy." — D Robert 8. Up to 23% off sets of the internet-famous Mellanni sheets made of a super-soft and moisture-wicking microfiber fabric over 250,000 5-star reviewers (wow!) love for being cozy and sleeping surprisingly cool — at an unbeatable price! You just might want to replace allllll the sheets in your house (your room! the kids room! the guest room!) after your first night of sleep. Promising review: "I can't say enough good things about these sheets. I was waking up at night HOT all the time and thinking it was a physical thing for me personally. I was reading online and stumbled on these and thought ' if my uber-expensive sheets are actually making me hot at night??' I ordered these and I'm sleeping like a baby now. No more night sweats. Ordering some for my son as well. Game changer! High quality and exceptional price." — J. Marshall Promising review: "I read from other reviews these sheets were soft so I wasn't too surprised when I received them and man are they soft and so comfortable. We have Egyptian cotton sheets that were expensive and I promise we have changed them back out for the comfort of these sheets. The cotton sheets were cold and these were just right. The other thing is my husband has thin skin that any nick he will bleed. Well he has bled on these white sheets and when we washed them (in cold water as instructed) the blood always comes out and never stains. I can't say enough great things about them except to say all three of my adult kids are receiving a set as part of their Christmas!" — Sheree Chrestman 9. 27% off (that's $40 off and a new lowest ever price) the Shark Steam & Scrub steam mop with two rotating microfiber pads (they deliver 150 ~scrubs per minute~), easy maneuvering, and headlights built in so you can see every stuck-on particle and sticky stain that's in your path before it gets wiped away. There's no cleaning solution involved, but the steam sanitizes your floors! It's safe to use on all sealed floors, including hardwood, marble, tile, and stone. Promising review:"I have four kids and two dogs and have struggled to keep my hardwood floors looking clean. This steamer takes minutes to use. It warms up in seconds and instantly has my floors spotless and without excess water. They dry quickly. Then simply throw the cleaning pads into the wash on a gentle cycle and air dry. I wish I had bought this years ago!!" — Valerie Promising review:"I generally don't take time to write I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this steam mop. It has a ton of power, is lightweight, and incredibly easy to put together. It did a great job on my vinyl floors. I will be purchasing another one for my mom and one for my daughter's apartment. Such a great device! Floors haven't smelled this clean since they were originally installed!" — Amazon Customer Price: $109.99 (originally $149.99) — and check out all the Shark deals here. Shark is also offering 20% off their popular portable carpet and upholstery machine — it's down to $119.99 10. 60% off a Tempur-Pedic Memory Foam Symphony Pillow that'll adapt to the shape of your head and neck for ultimate support and comfort. Plus, it has one side that is gently arched to better support back sleepers *and* on the other side is a flatter design for stomach and side sleepers Amazon Promising review:"This pillow gives great neck support. This pillow is also soft and comfortable. The only downside is, I have to race to get the bed before the dog takes it." — peppe 11. Or 25% off, plus an extra 20% off a pair of Beckham Hotel Collection pillows — these tick all the boxes: soft yet firm, with enough density that you won't need to re-fluff in the middle of the night — and breathable, so you'll get that cool-side-of-the-pillow feeling (that means no overheating). One reviewer who stays in 150+ hotels every year says these are among the most comfortable and affordable ones available! Promising review:"I decided to trust a TikTok that I saw featuring these pillows and checked out the reviews here and saw the hype. They are SERIOUSLY THE BEST PILLOWS EVER! Trust the reviews. Took two minutes to fluff up to use and both my fiancé and I are having the best sleeps now." — Ellen Promising review:"These had great reviews but I was still a bit skeptical. I'm a bit of a pillow snob. These pillows — these amazing, heavenly pillows — are now my favorite part of going to bed. Soft but firm. How does that work? It gives support for me to sleep slightly propped up but I sink into this comfortable personal cloud. Soft, but firm. My head isn't sinking through the pillow to rest on my mattress, but I feel comfortably enveloped. Buy them. Add to cart. Buy now with one click. Stop the research. You've found the pillows you were looking for." — Marissa Urey Price: $36 for the queen size (typically $59.99, be sure to clip the 20% off coupon on the product page for this price!) 12. $10 off, plus an extra 20% off (that's 42% off) a popular candle warmer to take any scented candle collector's setup to the next level. The warmth from the lamp melts the candle from the top down — that means an even melt from edge to edge (no tunneling!), no open flame or resulting smoke or soot, *and* can even help candles last longer, according to reviewers. Promising review:"Total game-changer! No flames, zero soot, just cozy vibes. The timer/dimmer is clutch—set it and forget it, or tweak the brightness to match the mood. Melts candles evenly so the scent lasts forever, and the sleek design looks pricey (but isn't). Comes with bulbs, works straight outta the box. Perfect gift or treat-yourself splurge." — 6k3d 13. 25% off (the lowest price it goes for) Ninja's titanium ceramic nonstick cookware set so you can fully outfit your kitchen for less. It's oven safe (up to 550°!) and dishwasher safe, so whipping up and cleaning up dinner is easier than ever. And when used as directed, it has a 10-year nonstick pretty darn impressive. Amazon Promising review:"My wife absolutely loves these pans. We have never had ceramic pans and we are very happy with them. We have only had them about 5 months but so far so good! Very well made." — Tim Sperry Promising review:"Anytime you find Ninja cookware on discount buy it. I have Ninja products that I've had for 10 years that are still awesome. The sizes of the pots and pans are perfect. They are durable and dishwasher safe and amazing. Definitely worth the cost because they will last forever." — Kindle Customer 14. 58% off a chic knife set in a compact block that you'll actually want to keep out on your counter. Reviewers note the blades (the set comes with a 7" kitchen knife, 8" chef knife, 8" slicing knife, 5" utility knife, and kitchen shears) are super sharp, too! Promising review:"Sleek design, space-saving, and SUPER sharp. Love the design. These were so affordable I was skeptical of the quality but they are SHARP! Would definitely order again" — Carmen 15. 30% off an under-desk treadmill (tied for the best price it goes for) so you can get in some steps at home while you're working or watching TV. It comes with a remote control so you can easily adjust the speed without needing to step off or bend down. And the brushless motor means quieter operation — reviewers agree they can use it during work calls without being a disturbance! It has a max speed of 4 mph, a max weight capacity of 265 lbs, and a low-noise design. There's also a shock-absorbing deck and a high-performance cushioning pad to help reduce impact on the knees and ankles. Promising review:"I absolutely love this treadmill! It's the perfect solution for getting in some light exercise while working at my desk. The motor is incredibly quiet – I can walk or jog while on calls or in meetings without any distractions. The treadmill is compact, portable, and easy to move around, making it ideal for small spaces. I can easily slide it under my desk or tuck it away when not in use. It's perfect for both walking and jogging, and the remote control is super convenient for adjusting speed and pausing without having to stop. I highly recommend this treadmill to anyone looking to incorporate more movement into their workday. It's quiet, efficient, and works beautifully for both home and office settings!" — Donette 16. 22% off a TikTok-approved, compact Levoit air purifier with a true HEPA filter because dust, pollen, and pet dander can get you DOWN (and sneezy) — and make it look like you haven't cleaned in ages, when you totally dusted yesterday. This'll suck so much out of the air, you just might find yourself dusting less often! And it can help your home smell fresher, too. Promising review:"I have two small dogs who shed year around. They are part of my family. Unfortunately for me, i have pet dander allergies. The first levoit purifier i bought was about four years ago, and it has run 24/7 on high speed for all that time. It's quiet and easy to maintain. Filters are reasonably priced. I recently bought two more of these, and I believe these are the best value you can get. please consider filter replacement cost, and durability of machine, when researching. this model is a absolute beast! I own other machines as well, and I wont mention the manufacture or how much i paid, because its shameful!! trust in this machine, you wont be disappointed." — trevin c morrison Price: $69.99 (originally $89.99; covers up to 258 sq ft; available in black and white, plus a WiFi-enabled version). 17. And 25% off a Levoit humidifier that's designed with ease of use in mind — it has a top-fill tank for painless refilling (no spills!) and a large opening to make cleaning a breeze. The 2.5-liter tank also means it can run for 25 hours at a time, so you can enjoy moister (sorry) air for longer. Promising review:"Very pleased with this humidifier! It puts out so much vapor that I can keep it on the lowest output setting most of the time, and it's a breeze to refill — you don't even need to turn it off, just lift the lid and pour in more water. On a low setting, it will run for 10-12 hours on a single fill. It's also very quiet, so I have no trouble sleeping with it in my bedroom. Pro tip: Use only distilled water with these things. Even filtered tap water or bottled spring water will clog the membrane with mineral buildup. I use steam distilled water from the grocery (it's cheap) and have no white powder, no residue, and no problems with the atomizer." — Amazon Customer 18. 50% off the newest generation (it's 50% faster!) of Amazon's HD Fire TV stick you can simply plug into your existing TV and stream all the shows, movies, and music you want at the push of a button. Use the voice button to find shows, launch apps, search for type of movie ("Alexa find suspense thrillers") OR EVEN ORDER A PIZZA from Domino's! And with this gen, you can control your TV and sound bar right from the remote too, and it even has preset buttons to open your favorite apps in one click. Promising review:"We were a little hesitant about trying this but have a beautiful TV that was just a little too old to be a smart TV. We were connecting our laptop via USB cable and that was a pain with the cable running across the living room. After a friend suggested this we were still in it work? Could we figure it out? Would it be a pain to use? We are not tech experts so any changes are usually challenging. But it was so easy. We did it in 15 minutes and were already adding to our watchlist. Literally thousands of shows to choose from. Old favorites, new exclusives, and movies galore. Alexa is there to help. So happy with this purchase and much cheaper than buying a new TV. Thank you Amazon for another great product." — Lucy 20. Up to 44% off a sleek LED alarm clock — seemingly every nightstand has been sporting it lately. And with good reason! It has three brightness settings, two USB ports for easy charging, and a pretty mirrored dial that gives it a certain je ne sais quoi. Promising review:"This is what I have been looking for. I had seen this clock on TikTok many times and decided to bite the bullet. Set up was easy and to get it to my perfect setting took me about two to three days of readjusting. I started with the automatic dim and changed it to have the display bright from 7 a.m. to midnight. When I wake up in the middle of the night, it's dimmed so it doesn't hurt my eyes. Instructions were a little tough, but I managed. Definitely recommend this clock to everybody." — Joshy S Price: $12.21+ (originally $21.95; available in 15 styles) 21. Up to 35% off a FlexiSpot electric standing desk (its lowest price yet) if you're ready to go all-in on that sit-to-stand life. With just the push of a button, it'll raise itself up — and since you can save up to four preset heights, you can literally hit the button, walk away to get a coffee refill, and come back to your desk all ready to go for a standing work sesh. Promising review: "This desk is a lifesaver. It's sleek, solid, and lifts and lowers with ease. It will be the perfect addition to your workspace." — Rebecca Jeanette Promising review: "After assembling it, I am thrilled I chose this desk. With a press of a button, I can raise and lower it to appropriate heights for either comfortably sitting or standing (I'm 5'10"). The material itself is very sturdy. There are NO drawers, which, after 20 years of having the other home desk and having desks at work, I realized that drawers do nothing more than collect and store junk. Can't do that with this desk as this desk encourages minimalism and storing that junk somewhere else." — David Taylor Price: $149.99+ (originally $229.99+; available in five sizes and 10 styles) and shop all the Flexispot deals here 22. 43% off a cordless DeWalt drill power tool combo kit (the lowest price yet, I might add!), complete with a drill, an impact driver, two batteries, a charger, AND a carrying case for it all. Reviewers say the tools are lightweight, easy and comfortable to hold, and make getting things done 10 times easier. Promising review:"The DEWALT 20V MAX Cordless Drill and Impact Driver Combo Kit is fantastic! Both tools are powerful, lightweight, and easy to handle. The drill works smoothly through various materials, and the impact driver makes tightening bolts a breeze. The two included batteries last a long time and recharge quickly. P erfect for both DIYers and pros, this kit offers great value and performance. Highly recommend!" — mhm87 Price: $124 (typically $219) and shop all the DeWalt deals here 23. 50% off a set of FIVE (!!!) of Blink outdoor security cameras so you can watch over your yard 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 Price: $199.99 (originally $399.99; available in several sets) and shop all the Blink deals here 24. 21% off a Zinus memory foam mattress, now at its lowest price ever! It features medium firmness that's infused with all-natural green tea and purified charcoal. If you're looking for an inexpensive mattress replacement, it's hard to beat this price. Amazon Promising review:"I've been using this mattress for over two years now, and it's still as comfortable as the first day I got it. The green tea-infused memory foam provides great contour support, and it helps with pressure relief for a restful night's sleep. The mattress has remained durable and firm without sagging, even after years of use. It also continues to be odor-free and keeps a cooler temperature than most foam mattresses. Worth every penny and a solid investment for anyone looking for a reliable and long-lasting mattress!" — Prudhvi Price: $161.75+ (originally $219.98+; available in eight sizes and five styles) and shop all the Zinus deals here 25. 25% off a Dyson Hot + Cool air purifier (just about the lowest price it goes for) that works all year long to help remove allergens and particles from the air and circulate warm or cool air, depending on the season. Amazon Promising review:"This is the best purchase we made all year. Lots of options for heat and cooling and its easy to operate. It reads the room and shares the air quality in real time. It doesnt happen often, but we've burned some items in the oven and needed to clear the toxic air. It worked great. I also like that it is very quiet. I can hear the wind coming out on higher fan settings but not the motor." — gtmj7265 Price: $399.99 (originally $529.99) and shop all the Dyson deals here 26. 42% off the Gracula, the one vampire in the world who is *not* repulsed by garlic — but in this case, that's actually a good thing. This garlic mincer makes fast work of finely chopping cloves so you can add flavor to all your dishes without wasting time or getting your hands all stinky. Plus it makes a fang-tastic gift for anyone who appreciates irony, has strong feelings about their favorite vampire, or just really loves garlic bread. Amazon Promising review:"I purchased this as a gift for my friend who is a fantastic cook — she uses fresh ingredients almost exclusively — but pressing fresh garlic is a task usually delegated. No longer: Gracula is there for her. She uses him nearly every time she needs garlic (which is basically daily) and months later still makes a point of saying how much she enjoys the gift. I'm pretty sure she likes it better than other gifts I've gotten her which were more expensive/thought out, and I'm fairly certain it's what took me from 'good friend' to 'best friend,' but it be that way sometimes. Anyway, definitely recommended for people who cook with garlic and have a sense of humor." — L Price: $13.29 (originally $22.95)

Former Tunisian FA boss Jary jailed for corruption
Wadie Jary, the former president of the Tunisian Football Federation (FTF), has been sentenced to four years in prison on corruption charges. A spokesperson for the country's sports ministry told the AFP news agency that the conviction related to an "unlawful contract between the FTF and a technical director" during Jary's time in office. The 52-year-old's lawyers say he will appeal against the verdict. Jary was first elected head of the FTF in 2012 and faced multiple allegations of impropriety during his reign, including match-fixing, financial misconduct and money laundering, all of which he denied. Local media also reported on disputes between Jary and the sports ministry, while in January 2021 he received a four-year ban from the Tunisian National Olympic Committee after it claimed he had "breached national and international Olympic ethics codes". Despite that ban, Jary was elected to the Confederation of African Football's (Caf) executive committee just two months later. He remained on the the committee while awaiting trial, with Caf general secretary Veron Mosengo-Omba telling the BBC last year that the organisation was "not protecting crooks" and would make a decision on Jary once a verdict was delivered by the Tunisian legal system. After the charges against him emerged, Jary was taken into custody in October 2023. Bans, barbs and boats: the town tackling Tunisian football Tunisia risk possible ban from World Cup in Qatar
