Huge Amazon sale right now — 27 best deals I recommend
Save big on Apple, Hydro Flask, Adidas and more
Mid-January can be a quiet time for deal hunting. Fortunately, Amazon just kicked off a massive winter sale with sitewide discounts across various sections.
While Amazon is one of my go-to stores for bargains, the retailer does have a habit of overhyping its sales from time to time. So I've combed through hundreds of Amazon's deals and picked out the very best bargains. This includes deals on winter apparel, small kitchen appliances and Apple gear.
I've also price checked every sale against competitors like Target and Best Buy. So whether you're in the market for new workout gear or simply curious what sales there are this week, here are the deals I personally recommend.
