Deals You May Have Missed

Praise the charging gods, you can actually buy certified third party USB-C to Lightning cables now, which allow you to use USB-C PD chargers to fast-charge modern iPhones from 0% to 50% in under 30 minutes.

Anker was (naturally) one of the first out of the gate with the new cables, and now, they’re on sale for the first time ever. Use promo code ANKERCTL to get a 3′ PowerLine II cable for just $14. That’s $5 less than Apple charges for the equivalent cable, and Anker’s are more durable, and include a lifetime warranty if it does ever wear out.

LG’s SK9Y sound bar was one of our readers’ favorites, and it’s easy to see why. With just one bar and a wireless subwoofer, you can enjoy get 5.1.2 channel Dolby Atmos audio, thanks to three front-firing speakers, two on the side (to bounce off the walls), and two on top (to bounce off the ceiling for the Atmos effect).

Dolby Atmos content has gotten a lot more common over the past year, and there’s every indication that it’s the future of home theater audio. The Apple TV supports it, as does the new (currently $35) Fire TV Stick, so it’s easier than ever to envelop yourself in sound.

Today’s $500 deal from Amazon is about $100-$400 less than usual, and one of the best deals we’ve ever seen.

A few months ago, Anker came out with its own version of AirPods, and they were pretty damn impressive in a side-by-side comparison. We haven’t really seen any deals on them since, but today, our readers can snag a set for just $65 with promo code KINJAA3902.

From our Inventory review:

If Apple’s AirPods have a fatal flaw, it’s that they don’t seal off your ear canal to block out noise. That’s fine if you’re going for a run and want to be aware when cars are coming by, but if you’re trying to focus in a noisy office, or listen to music on a plane, AirPods aren’t the right tool for the job. And if they just don’t fit in your ears? Too bad, Apple only makes one size, try growing better ears next time.

The Liberty Airs, like most sensible Bluetooth earbuds, include four sets of interchangeable rubber ear tips in the box. Once you find the one that fits you best, the ‘buds will stay solidly anchored in your ears while blocking out nearby sounds. Seriously, I shook my head around like I was at a Black Sabbath concert, and I couldn’t get them to fall out. People keep clamoring for Apple to make noise-canceling AirPods, but honestly, low-tech noise isolation is way simpler, and probably works better too.

Obviously, they don’t pair as effortlessly as AirPods, and the case is a bit bigger than Apple’s, but for $65, they’re a tremendous value if you’re ready to truly cut the cord. They sound pretty good, they have Bluetooth 5.0 for a stable connection, and they have great battery life for the price. What more could you want?

15 Pound 48″x 72″ Weighted Blanket | $49 | Amazon | Promo code CEC9N6QQ

15 Pound 60″x 80″ Weighted Blanket | $55 | Amazon | Promo code OU73N5MC

20 Pound 60″x 80″ Weighted Blanket | $68 | Amazon | Promo code X7GE5WHZ

It’s not cold outside anymore, but anxiety is always in season. In addition to keeping you warm, a weighted blanket can work wonders for your anxiety, and several different models are on sale today, including a beefy 20 pounder for just $68 (with code X7GE5WHZ), the best price we’ve ever seen for a blanket that heavy. Just be sure to note the promo codes above or below. Prices start at $49 for a 15 pounder as well (with code CEC9N6QQ), which with the exception of last week’s short-lived $35 deal is the best we’ve seen.

Personally, I want my weighted blankets to be capable of breaking ribs, but the general recommendation is 10% of your body weight. Not to stress you out, but we wouldn’t expect this deal to last for long.

Well, it’s come to this. Having thoroughly conquered the worlds of phone charging, home security, weight tracking, and wireless headphones (among many others), Anker’s next big foray is into the world of power tools.

Specifically, a new cordless leaf blower, a cordless chainsaw, and a pressure washer (which has been out for a few months). Yes, Anker sells a freakin’ chainsaw now, and it runs for 30 minutes on a charge of its included lithium-ion battery pack. Is that meant as a threat to other would-be consumer electronics companies? That’s up to interpretation.

All three devices are on sale right now, just in time for your outdoor spring cleaning needs. Just remember the three rules: Wear safety goggles, use two hands at all times, and don’t forget the promo codes.

Cats run the house and if you think otherwise, you clearly don’t live with a cat. Now, if your cat is in need of a little exercise due to their extreme treat addiction, you should check out the Petcube. It doubles as a camera that will let you keep an eye on your furry friend but also acts as a play toy.

You can nab this pet product for $100 on eBay right now. Using the Petcube app, you can drag your finger around on your smartphone at work and at home, your cat will be chasing that infamous red dot. Will he catch it? Probably not. But you can tire them out so much, they hopefully won’t wake you up at 4 A.M. for treats that night. Who are we kidding? Your cat will wake you up no matter what.

Wool dryer balls are the hottest laundry invention of the decade, and you can get six extra large ones for $10 with promo code EARTHD42. Just toss them in your dryer, and your clothes will dry faster, come out softer, and have fewer wrinkles at the end of the cycle.

At the very least, you should use dryer balls instead of fabric softener or dryer sheets when drying towels and workout gear, as chemical fabric softener leaves a residue that makes fabrics less water absorbent, which is obviously an issue in both cases.

Okay, so, you should 100% worry about losing a contact in your eye. You don’t want to wind up like that woman who had 27 contacts in one eye. But, if you lose contacts to dry eye during the day or rip them easily, you’re in luck. Walgreens is currently having a 20% off sale on contact lenses. To grab this deal, use the promo code DEAL20 at check out.

Walgreens offers an assortment of contacts that you can have delivered straight to your door, like the 1-Day Acuvue Moist 90 Pack for $70. If you constantly forget to take your contacts out before bed, Air Optix Night & Day lenses are $74 and can be worn for 30 days straight. But, if you prefer to toss each pair at the end of the day, you can grab a Dailies AquaComfort PLUS 90 Pack for $63.

Dorco makes some of the best affordable razors out there, and the Pace 4 is a perfect, no-frills everyday razor. It doesn’t vibrate, and it doesn’t have seven blades, but you know what? Four blades is plenty good for most faces, especially at this price.

Get the handle and 10 cartridges for just $12 today with promo code KINJAPACE4, a shavings of about $6.

Does the point where you look at your closet and think to yourself, “I have too many good outfits,” even exist? No, in fact, it does not. And it’s because of sales like the one Anthropologie is currently running that we are (I am) like this.

Prices start at just $15, and the sale includes everything from skincare to lipstick. That’s one good lookin’ deal if you ask me.

---

If nice weather isn’t enough to motivate you to get that workout in, these deals from PUMA should do the trick. Now through tomorrow, you can score big savings on sneakers and athletic apparel from PUMA’s Private Sale. There’s no promo code required to snag up to 70% off all this stuff for men, women, and kids, but time is running out, so hurry up and shop.

But right now, if you spend at least $130 on shoes at Clarks (that’s about two pairs of shoes), you’ll get 30% off your order. Products eligible for the promotion are marked with a “Take 30%” badge—unfortunately, there doesn’t seem to be a way to filter out the ineligible items—so keep a sharp eye out, and use promo code TAKE30 to step into some savings.

Cult-favorite Kiehl’s products rarely go on sale, but now through April 29, you can take 20% off your entire order from the skincare brand with promo code FRIENDS, thanks to their ongoing Friends & Family sale event. Not to mention, orders over $125 will receive a free three-piece gift. Need help deciding what to get?

If you haven’t picked up the nostalgia bomb that is Pokémon: Let’s Go Eevee/Pikachu, you can grab either one (hint: get the Eevee version) for $45 today on Amazon, a new all-time low price.

These games are basically modern, 3D remakes of the original Red and Blue games that you played on your Gameboy, and while they’re a bit easy by modern Pokémon standards, the series has never looked so good.

---

Cornhole is our readers’ favorite lawn game, and with good reason: everyone knows how to play it, it rewards skill while still being inviting to newcomers, and you can play it with one hand while you hold a drink in another.

This set from GoSports is regulation sized, but can fold up for easier storage if you’re tight on space. But the most noteworthy feature is the light-up ring, which can run for over 24 hours off of three AA batteries. Cornhole was never a nighttime activity, but now, you can go best out of three, five, seven…however long it takes for you to win, even if the sun goes down.

Normally priced at $130, Amazon’s marked it down to $105 today, matching an all-time low.

I realize that you’re not used to paying $98 for a board game, but you should make an exception for Gloomhaven. It’s Board Game Geek’s #1 board game ever, and is “astoundingly good” according to Ars Technica. Hell, it weighs 20 pounds! It was also a finalist in our recent board game Co-Op on The Inventory. If you love board games, this should be on your bucket list.

The thing is though, even when retailers have it in stock (and Amazon has not for the last few weeks), it frequently costs $140+, and we’ve only seen it drop down to $100 a couple of times before (and briefly, at that), so Amazon’s $98 deal is worth taking advantage of.

The game includes permanent stickers that transform the board as you play, but you can grab this removable, vinyl sticker pack instead, if you want to replay.

---

Nope, it’s not a mistake: This is a 1TB SSD for $100, which is about $5 off the absolute lowest price we’ve ever seen. And if you didn’t already know, replacing a hard drive with an SSD is one of the most worthwhile upgrades you perform on a computer.

The release of the new Apple Watch Series 4 coincided with a price drop for the still-excellent Series 3. And today at Amazon, you can save even more.

This deal is valid for both the 38mm ($199) and 42mm ($229) GPS models. Sadly, the cellular version isn’t on sale this time, but these deals are a match for Black Friday.

Can’t live without the larger screen, faster processor, and EKG features of the Series 4? The GPS + Cellular models are also on sale, particularly the 40mm version, which has an extra $34 coupon on top of a sale price. (40mm Cellular | 44mm Cellular)

---

Update: This offer was supposed to expire Friday, but as of now, it’s still available.

Our readers’ favorite VPN recently raised prices for the first time ever, and the company’s best-value (and Kinja Deals-exclusive) three-year plan is going away at the end of the week, so this is your last chance to subscribe at the best per-month price available.

Three year plans aren’t available to the general public at all, but if you click this link, you can get three years for $99, which works out to just $2.75 per month. That’s only $9 more than it was cost to the price hike, and while shorter plan lengths are available, none come close to the per-month pricing of this three-year membership. For example, the publicly available two-year plan costs about $84, and a month-to-month plan will set you back $10 per month.

If you subscribe to the three-year plan today, you’ll be able to continue to renew it at the same price for the life of your subscription, so this is a great chance to lock in a a terrific deal.

You need dish soap anyway, so you might as well get it for cheap when you can. If you’ve got the storage space for six bottles, you can get at total of 150 ounces of Seventh Generation soap for just $14 today on Amazon by clipping the 30% coupon.

This soap doesn’t contain any synthetic scents or dyes, and it’s both EPA Safer Choice certified, and a USDA Certified 95% bio-based product, so you can feel good about using it to clean factory-farmed meat juices off your plate.

If you’ve ever bought flowers online, you’ve probably taken a pause and a deep breath when you got to checkout and saw how much they cost to ship. It makes some sense—they’re delicate flowers, after all—and you ordered them anyway because you’re a good person, but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t hurt.

Advertisement

That’s what makes 1800Flowers’ Mother’s Day deal so tempting. If you use promo code FREESHIP on any of their Mother’s Day bouquets, and set delivery between 5/8-5/11, they’ll waive the shipping and service charges. So go ahead, treat your mom, she deserves it.

---

We see deals all the time on USB-A to USB-C cables, but discounts on C-to-C cables, which are necessary for faster Power Delivery charging, are bafflingly rare. Today though, you can get a 6′, nylon-wrapped Anker PowerLine+ C-to-C cable for $13, down from the usual $16.

PowerLine+ cables are incredibly durable, feel super-premium in the hand, and even come with a handy pouch to keep them organized in your bag.

Firstleaf is an online wine club that learns your preferences, offers tons of great wines from around the world, and most importantly, saves you money compared to buying from the store. It’s a solid deal any time, but it’s even better for our readers right now in preparation for Mother’s Day.

Every new Firstleaf member gets an introductory delivery with six bottles of wine for just $40 with free shipping, and every box thereafter includes six bottles for $80, plus $10 shipping. But if you use this link when you sign up, you’ll get FREE shipping on every box for your entire first year. That’ll save you over $100 if you get a new box every month.
