Huge price cuts on Skechers...
If you haven't already, I recommend checking out Amazon's Skechers Event Exclusives page. These are the extra-special, extra-shiny Skechers deals that Amazon is promoting for Prime Day. Prices here vary depending on the size and color you select, so you'll have to search through to find the best prices on the shoe you want, but it's worth the effort. As an example, this Wilshire Blvd Knit Sail Shoe is on sale for its lowest price ever at $43.
- Skechers Wilshire Blvd Knit Sail: was $70 now from $43 @ Amazon
Our favorite budget doorbell crashes to historic price low...
The Blink Battery Doorbell 2K+ is hands-down one of the best video doorbells we've tested. We especially recommend it for for shoppers on a budget. It's currently on sale for $35, which is $12 cheaper than the price I saw on Labor Day. (It's also a new all-time price low for this doorbell). Those 35 dollars buy you sharp 2K video, super-long battery life, and options for local storage.
- Blink Battery Doorbell 2K+: was $79 now $35
My new go-to running sneakers are finally on sale...
The Ellipse came out earlier this year and ever since its launch it's become my go-to running sneaker. First off, I love its cool retro design. Beyond its looks, it also has elevated cushioning in the midsole and a breathable engineered-mesh upper. You'll also find an 8mm drop and a rockered profile for extra comfort. I've used it for everything from HIIT sprints to long weekend runs.

$149 off my favorite Shark hair-styling tool
I've been using the Shark FlexStyle for a few months now, and I can honestly say my hair has never looked better. What used to take me an hour of blow-drying and styling now takes just 20 minutes.
While its rival, the Dyson Airwrap, gets most of the attention, the FlexStyle offers many of the same styling capabilities at a fraction of the price. Better yet, the Shark FlexStyle is currently on sale for just $199 on Amazon — that's $150 off and it's lowest price yet.
- Shark FlexStyle: was $349 now $199
TCL's 85 Inch Class QM6K Series is at its lowest price yet

This TV's modest array of Mini-LEDs offers better brightness and backlight control than it's younger sibling, the QM5K, and comes with a similar set of features. It's an excellent compromise that sits between ultra-affordable, big-screen options and higher-end sets. Plus, it's now at its lowest price ever!

Save 60% on this small but mighty gadget
Don't let the size fool you. The Blink Mini 2K+ works indoors and out, holds up in any weather, and comes with color night vision and person detection that you wouldn't expect at just $15.
Personally, I use the Blink Mini 2K+ to spy on my dog when I'm not home. I place one in the bedroom and one in the living room, my dog's favorite lounging and people-watching spots, respectively. It's super easy to set up and sync the devices to the Blink app on your phone. It definitely gives me some peace of mind that's he's safe while I'm out and about.

My favorite Amazon leggings are just $25 right now
In my opinion, these HeyNuts leggings look and feel just like Lululemon leggings — and they're literally a fraction of the price. I've been wearing them for a few years now, and I can attest to the fact that they're super durable and won't pill or rip even after several washes. They're available in a plethora of colors and you can even choose from a few different lengths.

Save your kid's hearing with these headphones
It's important to protect your kid's hearing, which is why we sought out deals on kid-friendly headphones that carry the important 85dB volume cap.
Here are three you should check out right now.
But one you may want to consider is the excellent iClever Q950, one of the best-sounding kid headphones I've ever tried.
Try out a pair of AR glasses
No, these aren't smart glasses like the Ray-Ban Meta AI glasses. Rather, think of the RayNeo Air 4 Pro as a TV or gaming monitor you wear on your face.
Right now, the limited-edition Batman RayNeo Air 4 Pro are on sale for 20% off.
They're great for travel or portable gaming by hooking up to a Steam Deck or even your laptop. Plus, the Air 4 Pro come with HDR10, which makes watching Apple TV shows and movies look amazing.
There are better (and more expensive) AR glasses but if you're dipping your toes in water, these ones are perfect.
