Friday’s Best Deals: Kindle Paperwhite, Cole Haan, Sponges, and More

The 9-piece set is marked down to $27, and the 7-piece set is on sale for $22. While they might look similar, note that the 9-piece set includes a mesh strainer (the light blue one) and a colander (the dark green one), while the 7-piece set only includes measuring cups and bowls.

Today, Taylor Swift professed her love for Command tape, and now probably millions of tweens (and also me, an adult woman) are in the market for some of that sticky sweet mounting goodness. Luckily, this 12-pack of large picture-hanging strips from Command is marked down to $9 on Amazon. So we will buy this Command product, fill that “Blank Space” on our walls with some new art, because Band-Aids don’t fix nail holes. Look what you made us do, Taylor!

This time of year, it’s probably dark already by the time you get home from work. But without any wiring to futz with, solar-powered, motion-sensing spotlights are the easiest way to illuminate your front porch or lawn, and you can get four of them for just $16 today with promo code 355QD9LQ. That could be one for each side of your house!

Simplehuman makes our readers’ favorite trash cans, and one of their most popular kitchen models has a $20 discount today.

This has been my personal kitchen trash can for several years now, and I love the thing more than anyone should be allowed to love a garbage receptacle. It looks great, the pedal mechanism is rock solid, is does a good job of containing odor, and the inner lining makes it easy to remove a bag and add a new one.

Outdoor barbecues will be back before you know it, and you can be ready for that (and all of your other cooking needs) with a 15% discount on the best kitchen thermometer money can buy: the Thermapen Mk4.

You guys love the Thermapen because it displays the temperature in 2 – 3 seconds, has a 3,000 hour battery life, is waterproof, and is accurate within 0.7°F. Step back into the kitchen in just about any nice restaurant, and you’ll probably see some ThermoWorks gear in use.

Here are just a few readers gushing over it:

Thermapen Classic (or really any of the Thermapens). Bar none the best thermometer for cooking I have ever bought — accept no substitutes.

Somewhat expensive at ~$70-$120 range, but I’ve been using mine for years and years, and it still gives me an accurate reading in less than three seconds. Well, well worth the price. Especially excellent for the grill. – theburners

Without a doubt. No other thermometer comes close. I’ve said it before on Kinja that the Thermapen is the best piece of kitchen equipment I’ve ever bought. – the-return-of-samba00

This model doesn’t see significant discounts very often, and today’s is actually only available on the new, limited edition Marine Blue colorway. Very tasteful!

In the immortal, paraphrased words of Taylor Swift, this deal has that red lip classic thing that you like. MAC staples rarely go on sale, but today, MAC’s Shiny Pretty Things All Star Kit, featuring a trio of coveted minis is down to just $15. Included in the kit is cult-favorite Ruby Woo lipstick, the most universally beloved true blue red lip shade, in a tiny size perfect for keeping in your purse, plus a mini Prep + Prime Fix+ and In Extreme Dimension 3D Black Lash. This bundle would make for a nice gift (you can gift it to yourself, too, by the way), and size-wise, it has major benefits for travel.

Winter, that miserable, good-for-nothing turd, isn’t done with us yet… at least not for a couple of weeks. The Weather Channel tells me it’s gonna be crappy this week, so I’m stoked about this insulated sock deal.

Look, I know sock sales are rarely the most exciting thing. But thermal socks are essential for surviving shitty weather and this is a great chance to stock up on quality socks that’ll last.

With the code KINJAPOLAR, you’ll save about $2 over Amazon’s current price.

March Madness, America’s favorite productivity killer, is only a few weeks away, and if you don’t have cable, Sling TV’s offering a great deal that’ll allow you to watch every game live.

For a limited time, Sling’s Blue plan, which includes TBS, TNT, and TruTV, is marked down to $15 per month for your first three months (or until canceled), down from the usual $25. Just note that it’s only available for new accounts. If you want to enjoy a lot of conference tournaments in the lead-up, you can also opt for the Orange & Blue plan, which adds ESPN, ESPN2, and access to the vast ESPN3 streaming service.

Between those three networks, you’ll have access to most games, and for the ones that air on CBS, you can watch via the March Madness Live app for free with no cable login, or use an antenna.

Wi-Fi connected home security cameras have largely taken over the baby monitor market, but nobody would blame you for feeling anxious about streaming a live video feed of your baby to the cloud. If you’d prefer to keep things local, Anker’s new Eufy SpaceView is a great all-in-one solution for just $116 (down from the usual $160) with exclusive promo code USKINJAM.

The pan and tilt camera streams in 720p (most baby monitors are a paltry 240p) directly to the included LCD screen, over distances of up to 460′, no Wi-Fi required. Somewhat ingeniously, Anker also included a detachable wide angle lens that expands the camera’s view up to 110°, so you can more easily keep an eye on your toddler when she starts to move around the room on her own.

SilverSocks Crew Socks | Three Pairs for $49 | Indiegogo

Silversocks’ soon-to-be released crew socks are interlaced with actual silver yarn. As in the metal. Ag. Why? Because silver naturally sterilizes bacteria, which is what makes your sweaty feet smell. I’ve worn a pair to play tennis, and can 100% confirm that they smell way less offensive than my usual cotton socks. It doesn’t hurt that they look great too, and are really comfortable to wear.

The socks ship out next month, and you can preorder three pairs for $49 with our exclusive perk. That’s essentially three pairs for the price of two.

The PlayStation Classic is missing a lot of critical games, but it seems like it’s going to be relatively straightforward to add some yourself. And even if you don’t bother hacking it, there’s still plenty worthwhile pre-loaded games to keep you entertained, even if there’s no Crash Bandicoot or Tomb Raider or Tony Hawk.

$100 is a lot to ask, but Walmart just discounted the PlayStation Classic to $40, easily the best price we’ve seen to date.

You can’t just have one or two Qi charging pads. Once your phone supports wireless charging, you suddenly want them everywhere you might set down your phone. Cooking? Using the bathroom? Sitting on the couch? These are valuable charging opportunities, dammit!

This Qi pad from RAVPower supports 10W charging on compatible Android phones (if you provide a Quick Charge wall adapter), or 5W charging on iPhones, and it’s just $10 on Amazon today with promo code KINJAFWK.

Anker makes surge protectors now, which is…incredibly logical. Their newest, largest model is down to $27 today, or about $8 less than usual. The PowerPort Power Strip includes 12 AC outlets and (naturally) three USB ports, plus a flat, swiveling plug that fits nicely behind your furniture. Surge protectors actually wear out over time, so if you haven’t replaced yours in awhile, this is a good opportunity.

SOLE x UBB Jasper Wool Eco Chukka | $95 ($150 Retail) | Kickstarter

United By Blue is the maker of a few of our favorite things; we’re still mesmerized by their bison fiber-filled Sport Jacket, Albright Rain Shell, and Convertible Tote Pack. And now, there’s a new shoe in town from the eco-conscious brand that’s stopped us in our tracks: United By Blue has teamed up with Canadian footwear manufacturer SOLE to bring forth the completely sustainable SOLE x UBB Jasper Wool Eco Chukka, which also happens to look stylish and feel supremely comfortable.

And in case you had doubts, this isn’t some half-assed attempt at sustainability. Pretty much every aspect of this sneaker is designed with the environment in mind. Its sole is made from recycled wine corks, while the upper is insulated with bison hair that would otherwise be keeping some landfill out there warm instead of your foot. In addition, the Jasper Wool Eco Chukka features ethically sourced merino wool, energy-conserving algae foam footbeds (that also clean and restore waterways via their production), and waste-minimizing rice rubber outsoles. Now that’s a lot of nature you’re sinking your feet into.

And not for nothing, it’s a great looking shoe too. It comes in three colors — black, dark grey, beige — and can be worn with or without socks. The cork sole is a nice complement to the wool upper, which itself is very soft and cozy, almost like sweatpants for your feet. Plus, they feel light as air when you put them on, almost as light as their carbon…footprint.

SOLE x UBB Jasper Wool Eco Chukka is up on Kickstarter as of today, so now’s your chance to invest in this new shoe innovation and by extension, the future of our planet. Early funders will get a pair of the chukkas, which will ultimately retail for $150, for as low as $95.
