I can speak freely here, right? I mean, you and I, we go way back. If you’re reading my roundup of the best Amazon deals this weekend, you’re likely a pretty experienced shopper, one not likely to perpetrate any budget-busting catastrophes. To put it another way, and with a couple of incidents from this week in mind, I’m pretty confident that you won’t accidentally lose $800,000 in dimes or mistakenly order 70,000 lollipops. Nevertheless, let’s set the bar a bit higher, shall we? How? By checking out those aforementioned deals.

If you’ve been holding off on buying AirPods until there’s a sale, consider this the time to pounce. At just $99, this pair is down to the best price I’ve seen. 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.

While we’re on the subject of AirPods, these best-in-class ‘buds boast active noise cancellation, which shuts out the world so you can immerse yourself in music, podcasts or whatever makes you happy. Adaptive Transparency mode lets you listen to your tunes but also hear any important noises from your surroundings — and this is as low as they’ve been since 2024.

The stickier the weather gets, the fewer products we want to slather onto our skin. That’s why having a moisturizer and serum in one is so clutch, and this one’s formulated with ingredients like aloe, glycerin and niacinamide to help firm and soften while delivering essential moisture. It’s also lightweight — a boon on those sweltering days — and at over 30% off, it’s within a dollar of its lowest price in years.

This is the latest version of this iPad, so the fact that it’s already on sale (for its lowest price ever) makes this a deal worth considering. According to Yahoo Senior Deals Writer Chris McGraw, “It’s an ultra-light, thin tablet that’s powerful enough to replace your laptop for most tasks but slips into your bag without a second thought. With a large 11-inch Liquid Retina display, you’re swiping and scrolling in vibrant color and sharpness that makes any screen that came before feel like an old tube TV.

“If you’ve got a habit of toggling between a dozen apps, streaming videos and replying to messages at once, you’re in for a treat. This iPad is ready to keep up with whatever you throw its way. And if you’re into gaming, the graphics capabilities mean you can play even demanding games without dropping a frame.”

Senior Beauty Editor Jennifer Romolini said she was so thrilled when she saw this deal, she “could barely type.” Why is that? For starters, this serum comes from a well-respected brand and its star ingredient is hyaluronic acid, a hydration agent that can help plump the skin for a smoother appearance. 

“Since we lose moisture and elasticity as we age, the humectant hyaluronic acid, an ingredient which binds to water — and can hold a whopping 1,000 times its weight in water — is key to any quality anti-aging skin care regimen,” she says. “You’d be hard-pressed to find a better hyaluronic acid serum than this award-winning version.” Among the other concerns it targets? Dark circles, fine lines, dark spots … plus, it’s within a dollar of its lowest price. Need any more convincing it belongs in your cart?

If you have “clean grout” on your to-do list, chances are you’re not exactly champing at the bit to confront this dreaded task. And I can’t really blame you; crouching down while furiously scrubbing away for hours on end — knowing there’s a very good chance it’ll barely look any different once you’re done — isn’t anyone’s idea of a good time. While you can’t avoid the job entirely, you can dramatically reduce the amount of elbow grease required with this nifty tool, which I am slightly obsessed with.

It’s essentially like an electric toothbrush for your home and scrubs 60 times per second to bust grime out of those hard-to-reach corners and crevices. Plus, it’s down to one of its best prices in years.

These kitchen essentials aren’t just Amazon bestsellers, they’re also editor-approved. “Durable yet lightweight, the flip-style lids were easy to clean and, when locked, the set proved to be airtight,” says Home & Garden Writer Kristin Granero, who named them “best food storage containers overall” after testing many brands.

She continues, “Based on our experience, the containers are also odor- and stain-resistant, so they still smell fresh and look like new after being used to store colorfully sauced foods such as marinara sauce and hot wings. Unlike some other plastic containers on the market, these containers have excellent clarity — especially helpful when you need to identify food quickly or navigate a fully stocked fridge.” Since 2023, they’ve only dipped lower in price by a dollar.

Been eyeing one of these bad boys? You’d be wise to pounce while you can save $80.

This is the brand I use at home, and it comes with a beater, dough hook and whisk attachments for making practically any baked good under the sun. Since it does all of the mixing for you, it’ll give your arms a break, and you can let it run while you prep other ingredients — a must when making large batches.

This little doodad can also go in closets, drawers, your car … anywhere that could use some stench removal. This is the lowest it’s been since last summer, so scoop it up while you can.
