34% off a six-pack of Scotch Heavy Duty Packaging Tape because you never-ever have any on hand when you need it the most, and you've been meaning to buy a pack every time you remember. Might as well get it now when it's half off — before you forget again, I mean.

34% off a 15-piece set of airtight food containers if you've ever bought *another* bag of rice, not realizing that you already had two ~deeeep~ within your pantry. This keeps your groceries fresh, organized, and most importantly, within sight, so you know to buy more flour when it starts to run out. There's adulting, and then there's organizational-pantry-excellence adulting. ✨

35% off an electric, adjustable standing desk so you can take those important standing breaks your Apple Watch keeps begging you to take. Now you can easily get out of your seat without having to actually step away from work — and have your monitor comfortably elevated to eye level when standing or sitting down.

Promising review: "I can’t believe it took this long for me to buy one of these! Battery seems to be holding up great so far! It was easy to install and works great! The picture is clear and you get more view than you would think!" —DLP

Price: $69.99 (originally $139.99, available in two colors).

2. 40% off a super-powerful Ego Power self-propelled lawn mower (the best price it's been since March of 2024) to make that tedious yard work a whole lot easier and faster — which you definitely need as the summer temperatures get hotter and hotter every passing day.

amazon.com, amazon.com

This comes with the cordless lawn mower, a 7.5Ah ARC Lithium battery, a 5.0Ah ARC Lithium battery, 550W charger, a mulching blade, a high lift bagging blade, extended runtime blade, upper blade, grass bag and frame, side discharge chute, and mulching plug

Promising review: "This has more than met my expectations! Since I got this mower, it saves me time and energy. This is the best electric mower I’ve ever used. The battery is enough to finish my 9,000 square feet yard without a recharge. It’s quiet. The self-propelled feature is very smooth and easy to control the speed. The most impressive part is the dual-blade. You better try this." —Taka

Price: $599.99 (originally $998)

3. 30% off a full HD Dash Cam because frankly, you deserve some peace of mind while cruising down the open roads. This lil' device has a 32GB storage card, built-in Wi-Fi, GPS (perfect for those times your phone's battery is looking a bit bleak 🪫), a wide-angle, and quality night vision. Plus the camera resolution is so freaking good, it'll be able to catch road signs and license plate numbers — the perfect proof to hand in to your insurance company after that little fender bender.

amazon.com

Promising review: "We purchased this camera about 18 months ago and it has now paid for itself 100x over when it provided evidence to the police and insurance that my wife was not the one at fault in an accident that totaled her vehicle, and the other party lied to the police. It was easy to install and had clear instructions. Great suction cup with integrated GPS antenna, which made installation a breeze. The camera will slide off the mount if you want to hide it while parked without removing the entire mount. Crystal clear video, front at 4k and back at 2k, produces high resolution video where you can read license plates and even identify who was driving another vehicle." —Prime Risk

Price: $89.99 (typically $129.99)

4. 27% off a luxe cold press juicer (the cheapest it goes for) so you can have fruity and/or veggie-packed drinks as you sit back and watch your little one when their soccer game. There's no need to chop and prepare ingredients ahead of time — just wash them, toss 'em in, and watch as even the toughest of fruits are juiced in only a few minutes!

amazon.com, amazon.com

This is designed with double-layer filters and a 7-stage spiral auger to help avoid heat generation and oxidation.

Promising review: "Game changer! Super quick to use as there's no need to peel or dice everything. Super quick to clean – just a few parts! I juiced a pineapple and three apples in under five minutes. Can't beat that!" —Jordan Hill

Price: $138.49 (originally $189.99; available in two colors)

5. 38% off a 10x10-foot pop-up tent (the lowest price it goes for) perfect for the beach, your little one's outdoor sports match, or even your patio. Finally, you'll get some much-needed shade while you enjoy the outdoors — something you've seriously been needing the exact second that summer began.

amazon.com, amazon.com

Promising review: "I just took this on a week-long camping trip on a lake in northern Maine. It worked great! I was able to put it up and down all by myself. I left the canopy on when I put it back into the bag, which made it that much faster to go up and down. I didn't stake it down the first night, and it survived a wild rainstorm without moving. Super easy to use, and lots of space underneath!" —Jennifer Work

Price: $99.99 (originally $159.99; available in 30 colors)

6. 29% off a Traeger wood pellet grill and smoker so you can be the most popular BBQ host this summer as you whip up the most scrumptious steaks the neighborhood has ever tasted. You've been telling yourself you're gonna get a good grill every summer for years now — but now that it's on sale, I think it's finally the perfect time to do so.

amazon.com, amazon.com

Promising review: "Fantastic product. Hubby agreed to buy it if I made at least one smoked dish per month. It was delivered on April 23. Today is May 20, and right now I’m smoking my sixth dish — a spatchcocked chicken. The packaging they do is brilliant, and putting it together (you’ve really gotta have a second person) was super easy. Clearly, the entire design was very well thought out, from the product itself to the packaging. Have been mulling over getting a pellet smoker (yes, I understand that stick smokers rule) for about a year, and I am so happy with this purchase. Absolutely recommend this smoker to anyone who wants to take the dive into smoking food. We’ve done ribs (both regular and Berkshire), whole skin-on salmon, and now chicken. Love, love, love, my Traeger." —Lauren

Price: $389 (originally $549.99)

7. 20% off a FlexBreeze Pro Mist Fan you can bring along with you anywhere as it can be used both indoors and outdoors. That electric bill is looking pretty hefty during the summer when you finally are forced to turn on the A/C, but now you can simply lug this around the house and patio with you whenever you need some cooling breeze, since it boasts an impressive 70 ft. reach while being surprisingly quiet.

amazon.com

Promising review: "We have been using this in muggy Houston. We put this under the pergola, and it puts out so much air that we actually enjoy sitting outside. We use it both with and without the mister. The mister has various levels, so a little mist to a lot. It really blows the air quite a distance. It's very sturdy and has a remote control. Very quiet and we feel like it is worth every penny!" —Audrey

Price: $199.99 (originally $249.99; available in four styles)

8. 34% off a 15-piece set of airtight food containers if you've ever bought *another* bag of rice, not realizing that you already had two ~deeeep~ within your pantry. This keeps your groceries fresh, organized, and most importantly, within sight, so you know to buy more flour when it starts to run out. There's adulting, and then there's organizational-pantry-excellence adulting. ✨

amazon.com

Promising review: "I ordered this set to continue on the road to an organized pantry. There are enough containers and a variety of sizes to make me happy. I have stored pasta and noodles, dried beans, rice, sugar, instant mashed potatoes, crackers, etc. When I open a box of something, I put whatever is unused into one of the containers and feel very secure that the contents will be fresh and protected from any possible insect problems." —R M

Price: $25.99 (originally $39.21; available in three different lid colors)

9. 28% off a six-pack of stainless steel shower shelves because you've been almost accidentally tripping on your shampoo for wayyy too long, and you've been needing a way to expand the storage in your teensy-tiny bathroom.

amazon.com

Promising review: "I can’t believe these in-shower shelves actually work. I use super-sized shampoo, body wash, etc., and didn’t think this would hold the weight of them, but they really do! I like the design of this one specifically because I can hang my bath scrunchie and detangling comb right off the hoops on the sides, and nothing drips onto them. If you need shelving in your shower, give these a try. This is a game changer for me." —Rachel

Price: $17.99+ (typically $24.99+; available in five colors – not all included in sale)

10. 20% off a Levoit air purifier with a HEPA filter, so it'll help collect the rogue dust, pollen, and pet dander that your mom keeps finding clumps of in the corner of your room after you literally just cleaned.

amazon.com

Promising review: "Put it in my bedroom, it works great. It not only keeps my air cleaner. It also cools my room down a couple of degrees, and I appreciate that for sleeping, especially. It is super super quiet, and well worth the money I spent. The fact that I can clean it usually 3 to 4 times during the summer months and more during winter months makes it convenient, and it is an expensive and well worth the money." —Crystal Baldwin

Price: $39.99 (clip the $10 off coupon for this price, originally $49.99; available in two colors).

11. 50% off a 230-piece Craftsman tool set if you've decided to become "handy", but frankly don't know how to start. This set has everything you could possibly need to complete that DIY project you have planned for this summer. Your home has never looked better.

Amazon

Promising review: "I love the quality and strength of these tools. It has been a major upgrade from what I had before. I love that it doesn’t weigh much; I can throw it on the back of the truck and go. It has slip resistance so it won’t slide around, and you can lock the drawers so they won’t pop out either. The design stores the three different drive sizes, which is super convenient. It’s also modular, so you can add it to your tool case, which is very functional in my case." —David 

Price: $99 (originally $199.99)

12. Up to 40% off a compact travel umbrella so you have a way to protect yourself from any sudden torrential downpours or beaming sun rays while you're out and about, while still being small enough to fit in your purse.

amazon.com

Promising review: "The best umbrella I've owned to date. The first one I bought had a defect, but I reached out to their customer service, and they replied and sent a replacement very quickly. Very durable against the winds, it's small and fits in my backpack's side pocket. The large strap that wrapped around the umbrella keeps it looking neat when closed. The button for opening and closing the umbrella is easy to use as well." —SJ

Price: $14.98+ (originally $29.99; available in 25 colors and packs of two)

13. 34% off a six-pack of Scotch Heavy Duty Packaging Tape because you never-ever have any on hand when you need it the most, and you've been meaning to buy a pack every time you remember. Might as well get it now when it's half off — before you forget again, I mean.

amazon.com

P.S. reviewers also recommend this value pack for small business shipping! 

Promising review: "This six-roll value pack of heavy-duty tape, delivering outstanding value for packing and shipping tasks. Tape adhesive grips firmly to cardboard, paperboard, and plastic surfaces without splitting or losing tack even in high humidity. Each roll tears by hand cleanly along a straight line, and cores fit standard dispensers. Durability under stress is excellent—sealed boxes withstand stacking and rough handling. Rolls stack neatly for storage, and edges remain intact without curling over time. Ideal for both home moves and small business shipping, this set outperforms midrange alternatives at a similar price." —Amazon Customer

Price: $13.19 (originally $19.99)

14. 54% off an Amazon Fire HD tablet (the best price it ever goes for) so you can take your Love Island 🏝️ marathon wherever you go. It's super durable, ultra thin, and has a battery life for up to 13 hours — all for a great price. Now you can keep up with all the Huda and Jeremiah drama even as you wheel your way through Walmart.

amazon.com, amazon.com

Promising review: "I don’t see how you can beat this tablet, especially at this price. I wanted a super light tablet, mostly to read with, and watch some movies. I love the built in blue filter and was surprised to learn that it works with me! It’s light, durable, and even plays my FLAC music files. And I may be old fashioned but I really like the earphone port. I hope that never goes away." —Ecycler

Price: $54.99 (originally $119.99).

15. 46% off a ~powerful~ cordless string trimmer because your lawn has been overgrowing lately, and it's about time to finally tackle that chore — without putting in too much work or physical effort.

amazon.com

Promising review: "I got tired of changing line on my other weed whacker so I purchased the E- GO IQ it is bigger than my old one but it sure is more powerful, love how it keeps the line feeding to the perfect length, very easy one button line rewinding. You can adjust the length of the shaft very easy, battery last a long time well worth the money." —JACK DYGERT

Price: $299.99 (originally 559.98).

16. 35% off an electric, adjustable standing desk so you can take those important standing breaks your Apple Watch keeps begging you to take. Now you can easily get out of your seat without having to actually step away from work — and have your monitor comfortably elevated to eye level when standing or sitting down.

amazon.com, amazon.com

Promising review: "This desk is wonderful! I got it to switch from a stationary to a sit/stand desk. I liked that the desktop was one solid piece (vs some that are 2 pieces), and I liked the combination of desktop and desk leg colors. My dad and I worked to put this together, and it took us about an hour. All the of the screws and things needed came in nicely labeled bags and it was really easy to figure out what we needed to use. You do need to supply your own screwdriver or drill. Once put together, it was easy to set the default heights for sitting and standing. The desk is actually pretty quiet when it moves! It is not super fast to raise/lower, but it moves along at a nice pace, and everything feels sturdy when it's moving. I have been using this for about a week now and I love it!" —Amazon Customer

Price: $109.98 (originally $169.99)

17. 30% off a three-piece luggage set because your old suitcase has been worn down to the last shreds, and you've been needing to upgrade your luggage for a while. This comes with a carry-on suitcase, a backpack, and a toiletry bag — so you're ready for that summer trip you've got planned. ✈️☀️

amazon.com

Promising review: "I love my luggage set! They look gorgeous, and honestly, the quality is excellent. I’ve taken 15-day trips using only the carry-on and the personal bag — it’s amazing. At first, I thought they’d get dirty easily since they’re white, but they’re actually very easy to clean. The toiletry bag fits my Shark FlexStyle hair dryer and all the attachments perfectly." —Mariana R.

Price: $69.98 (originally $99.99).

18. 38% off a seven-piece modular sectional made with high-quality wicker, water-resistant cushions, and easy-to-clean materials to finally spruce up your bare patio — all for the lowest price it's ever been. You'll finally have a place to lounge upon after a long day of work.

amazon.com

Promising review: "I love this set and would most definitely purchase again! Its comfortable and the cushions are a soft material unlike others that are kinda crunchy feeling." —kate herron

Price: $499.98 (originally $799.99; available in 24 colors).

19. 36% off a Roborock robot vacuum and mop (at the very lowest price it goes for) because it's like having a live-in maid who takes up the most tedious of home chores. This baby vacuums, mops, and can be controlled through an app on your phone — so you can have clean floors and rugs from the comfort of your couch without ever needing to pause your New Girl marathon.

amazon.com

Promising review: "Wow! 3 small children, 2 dogs, 1 cat and this thing really works. Had this for a few weeks now and wasn’t sure if we’d keep it, but it really works! Our house has many obstacles to get around, and it hasn’t gotten stuck once! Transitions from area rugs to hardwood floors easily and it really gets the area we miss with the vacuum. Have it set up to run when we’re out of the house, and it picks up so much hair and dust. I was skeptical buying an off brand but the reviews and research made me take a chance, highly recommend to save you some time and ease of mind. Haven’t used the mop function yet but will try it out soon!" —nick valaris

Price: $419.99 (originally $659.99).

20. 29% off an Anker 3-in-1 MagSafe charging stand so you can actually juice up your fave devices overnight instead of spending the next day hovering perpetually under 20%. This is so much sleeker than all other MagSafe chargers, so it'll actually look nice on your bedside table even when not in use.

amazon.com, amazon.com

Promising review: "I’ve tried a number of charging stands, but this one is truly in a league of its own. The design is sleek, modern, and thoughtfully engineered—it feels like it belongs in a high-end tech showroom. The charging speed is blazing fast, effortlessly powering my devices while keeping everything neatly in place. My nightstand has never looked so tidy and streamlined. If they ever develop a version that includes space for an iPad, it would be the ultimate all-in-one solution!" —Edmal

Price: $63.99 (originally $89.99; available in two colors).

21. 42% off a Chefman Air Fryer because you've had that one air fryer recipe saved on your phone for like... forever now, and it's frankly about time to finally see what all the hoopla is about. This air fryer is compact and portable, meaning it won't take up too much of your precious countertop space. You're about to make the tastiest lemon pepper chicken wings you've ever tasted.

amazon.com, amazon.com

Promising review: "I bought this for use in our RV while spending two months in very hot south Texas. This is the first basket-type air fryer I’ve owned, and I cooked almost every dinner (for 2 people) the entire trip in it! It was easy to use and easy to clean." —Greg&Deb

Price: 69.94+ (originally $119.99; available in two styles).

22. 29% off a three-pack of Deco wifi routers that work with all internet providers if you're the type of person who takes your internet ~very~ seriously. This will help boost and extend your internet speeds up to 5,400 Mbps for 200 devices — your video gaming is about to get a whole lot more epic.

amazon.com

Promising review: "I am quite happy with this system! It is hands down way better than what I replaced. I had a NetGear mesh system before. I am not faulting NetGear. My router system was old, worn out, and outdated. However, with the price of a new NetGear system, we thought we would try something a bit more economical. Upon opening the box, I could feel the quality of this system. It was so easy to set it up, and I am not tech savvy at all, so I really appreciate that. We have had the best coverage so far! Even my outdoor security cameras function way better now! I did buy the outdoor unit for our dusty shop, and it has improved Wi-Fi up there as well!" —Tesha Cox

Price: $249.99 (originally $349.99).

23. 25% off outdoor string lights because you've been wanting to add a bit of ✨ooh la la✨ to your backyard, and these will make your backyard feel like that last prom scene in Twilight. Hang 'em up on your roofline, or drape 'em above your yard so that every single night feels like you're slow dancing with Edward Cullen.

amazon.com, amazon.com

Promising review: "Very bright and easy to put up! I got two of these and I was able to line the entirety of our backyard. It made it so much easier to see at night and its aesthetically pleasing. They’re weather resistant and easy to up. If you get too the other one is able to plug in and you just need one plug for however many you’d like to use. They also come with extra bulbs if ones goes out! I’ve had this for over 6 months and I’ve only had one go out so its a great product. Love it!" —Erika

Price: $29.99 (originally $39.98).

24. 33% off a cordless water flosser to remove all the flecks of food and grime within your grin without needing to suffer the pain and annoyance of traditional string floss.

amazon.com

Promising review: "I never knew I needed a water flosser until I tried this one, and wow — what a difference! It delivers a powerful yet gentle stream of water that thoroughly cleans between my teeth and along the gum line. The effectiveness is undeniable — I can actually feel how much fresher and cleaner my mouth is after each use because my breath has noticeably improved. Beyond just the results, the ease of use has completely transformed my approach to flossing. No more struggling with traditional floss or worrying about missing tricky spots. I still floss, but with the water flosser, it’s no longer a chore, it’s actually enjoyable and can be done extremely fast." —Vanessa Chang

Price: $19.98 (typically $29.98) 

25. 25% off a Dyson Ball Animal 3 Upright Vacuum Cleaner with three suction modes to suck up all of your frustrations (in other words: lots of hair) from the embrace of your favorite rug or hard floors. Plus, it has an easy-to-empty tank so that you don't ever have to touch the icky stuff that accumulates after a few sweeps around your home.

amazon.com, amazon.com

Promising review: "Oh my gosh! Best vacuum ever! It is a 20 out of 5 stars! I vacuumed, then shampooed and re-vacuumed after drying with my old model. Then, I vacuumed with the Dyson Animal Ball. I could not believe how much it pulled out of the 'clean' carpet. I emptied the vacuum and then vacuumed one more time, and there was nothing left to draw out. Clean clean clean! Easy assembly, highly effective, and super easy to maneuver. I tried all the attachments and can't pick a favorite! Bravo, Dyson, bravo! Recommended it to all my coworkers, friends, and family. I want everyone to feel this excited about vacuuming!" —Julie W.

Price: $299.99 (typically $399.99)

26. 42% off set of lightweight packing cubes for smushing down any bulky articles of clothing into the perfect size to slide comfortably into your carry-on — no vacuum suctioning required. Plus, it has a mesh top so you can always see what's inside without having to unpack!

amazon.com

Promising review: "If you're looking to stay organized on the go for yourself or with kids, I cannot recommend this enough! I've used packing cubes before that were poor quality. The quality of this product exceeded my expectations. The material and zippers are lightweight yet durable. Packing for my daughter and me on our last trip was a breeze with these packing cubes! Highly highly recommend!" —es86

Price: $14.44 (typically $24.99) 

27. 37% off a lightweight, super compact folding beach chair that will come in handy for all those beach trips you've got planned this summer.

amazon.com, amazon.com

Promising review: "We got these to pack in our suitcases for a beach trip and they were perfect! They fit nicely in our suitcases, which was important. They weigh closer to 7 pounds, so they're not the lightest, but they still worked. They are very easy to set up and very comfortable! The cup holder is a great feature, too." —lucas

Price: $31.99 (typically $50.99)

28. 24% off a remote-controlled walking pad perfect for those trying to get in their steps as they update spreadsheets or create PowerPoint presentations. It has an LED display that shows basic metrics like time, speed, and distance; and a quiet motor (so you won't get interrupted during your meeting).

amazon.com, amazon.com

Promising review: "This is the second walking pad I have purchased, and this one is by far my favorite. I have a standing desk that I use it with, and it's so compact that it fits neatly under my loveseat in my office. Super easy setup, overall great value! The speed options are great as well, and overall it works great! It also does not make a horrible sound when I use it, unlike the previous one I owned (from a different brand)." —Keihra

Price: $149.99 (clip the $20 off coupon to get this price; typically $199.99).

29. 28% off a plug-in fly trap that can zap all the creepy crawlies lurking in your home without ruining your perfectly curated home aesthetics. You can plug this into an outlet, and the tiny light will lure in those pesky pests by the dozen.

amazon.com, amazon.com

Check out a TikTok of the plug-in fly trap in action.

Promising review: "I can’t say enough wonderful things about these handy little bug catchers! They are simple to use, cheap to refill, and catch a ton of small bugs and flies. I have eight of them now, all around my house! It’s a little gross how many tiny flying insects are around…but it makes me feel a lot better now that I have these!" —Chris H.

Price: $12.97 (typically $17.97; also available as a two-pack)

30. 27% off a paper shredder because that bill and junk mail pile is getting bigger and bigger, and it's about time to finally deal with Mt. Junkmore before it topples over and ends up all over your floor.

amazon.com

Promising review: "This thing is a beast. I appreciate having the ability to just throw my soliciting mail in it without having to open it up first. It seems like many companies are putting packers in their mailers that are there just to discourage straight-to-shredder practices. Plastic cards, extra-thick card stocks, 20 sheets of rubbish, etc. With this shredder, I don't have to deal with any of that. I don't even open mailers anymore. If I don't recognize its intended purpose, in it goes." —Darkflame808

Price: $28.89 (typically $39.34; available in two colors and four sizes)

31. 37% off a hands-free portable phone charger with a lightning output (meaning it's meant for anyone with iPhone 14 or older) that can fit in your pocket so you can charge your phone while on the go. It's cordless, lightweight, and allows you to charge your phone up to 1.5 times!

amazon.com

Check out a TikTok of the charger in action. 

Promising review: "I used these several times for the past year, traveling for business and leisure. It is always a challenge to find an outlet at the airport since some airports do not offer a charging station. Using those types can also be a security risk. That's why I love using these portable chargers. They are lightweight and fit in my travel handbag/or small backpack pocket. The portable chargers take about 30–35 minutes to fully charge if dead. Once charged, they charge fast and hold a charge for many hours." —J

Price: $11.99+ (typically $18.99; available in six colors).
