Shoppers, rejoice: There are so many ways to save during this mid-August week, and big retailers like Amazon and Walmart are killing it with major deals on home essentials, beauty favorites and more. Honestly, it can seem like a second job just to keep track of it all. Luckily for you, it's our first job to do just that, so you can spend less of these precious remaining dog days of summer researching prices and more of them sunning, swimming or doing a whole lot of nothing at all.
So, here they are: the 10 best sales today, from a quality 14-piece pots and pans set for a mere $70 (down from $110) to a travel-ready Michael Kors messenger bag for a stunning near-80% off.
Get unstuck with a set of slick pots and pans. This attractive 14-piece collection just about has it all: 8- and 11-inch frying pans, a 4.3-quart casserole with lid, 1.8- and 4.5-quart saucepans with lids, four pan protectors, a spatula and a mixing spoon. It's also so nonstick and residue-proof that it wipes clean with a damp paper towel. Made from eco-friendly white granite, the pieces are PFOA- and PFOS-free. Plus, you can use them on any stovetop, including gas and induction.
That's all for $70 — less than you'd pay for a single pan from many brands (and within $4 of its lowest price yet).

Robovacs are great, but for a truly hands-off experience, you'll want a self-emptying model: This No. 1 bestseller has a collection bin that can hold up to 60 days' worth of dust and debris. That means you could go as long as two months without having to clean it out, saving you even more time.
It's powerful enough to zap up everything from the kids' crumbs to Fido's fur, and its 360-degree LiDAR vision allows it to sense and move around any larger objects and furniture it comes across. The Matrix Clean feature encourages it to work in a grid pattern for more thorough coverage, and you can schedule cleanings or ask it to focus on a specific area via the SharkClean app or even your voice (it's compatible with Alexa and Google Assistant).
The only time we've seen it on sale for less was Black Friday, so add it to your cart while you can save 50%.
If you want to set yourself up for success ahead of your next late-summer trip, invest in this thoughtfully designed travel bag. It's spacious enough for a tablet, a passport, some snacks, sunglasses, an eye mask and any other essentials you'll need to make your journey more comfortable, but not so massive that you have to worry about getting weighed down. The adjustable strap can be worn on the shoulder or crossbody-style. And, best of all, it's tough enough to withstand being bumped and tossed around thanks to the coated canvas construction and won't scratch or scuff easily.
Another reason to add this versatile bag to your collection? It's available in three neutral colors that will complement everything in your closet. Choose from brown, black and creamy white.
(PS: In the mood for a pre-fall closet upgrade? If you buy two items at Michael Kors Outlet right now, you'll net an additional 20% off!)
This air purifier has it all: multi-layer filtration that effectively weeds out tiny particles, a quiet sleep mode and an aroma pad that'll make your space smell super fresh. Its filter offers efficient multi-layer protection against tiny particles such as smoke, pollen, dander, hair and garden-variety odors. Plus, its 360-degree air vent will refresh the air each hour in spaces as large as 287 square feet. That makes it ideal for any room in your house.
Also setting the Aroeve apart from most other air purifiers: You can use it for aromatherapy. Just remove the aforementioned pad and add four to five drops of your favorite essential oil. Place it back in, and your whole room will be filled with the scent of your choice.
This is the lowest price we've seen for this breathability buddy since 2023, so snag it for nearly 40% off while you can.

If you've been holding off on buying AirPods until there's a sale, consider this the time to pounce. Yes, they were 10 bucks cheaper during Prime Day, but at $99, you'll pay $30 less than you would at the Apple Store — and they're unlikely to dip lower than this anytime soon.
Now, they don't include active noise cancellation like these do, but if it's a high-quality, comfortable listening experience you're after, these earbuds more than deliver. Delivering up to five hours of listening time per charge (and 30 hours of battery life via the charging case), you'll be able to enjoy music, podcasts, audiobooks and more with limited interruption.
Never underestimate the power of a mini purse (especially when it's over 70% off). Sized just right for cash, cards and a few extras, this lovely leather helper is multifaceted: Remove the chain strap to use it as a clutch or clip it back on to throw it over your arm. It comes in four colors, including this classic black that will go with everything.
This cream is designed to reduce the appearance of fine lines, crow's feet, deeper wrinkles and more. Hyaluronic acid helps hydrate your skin, while a potent glucose complex aims to strengthen the skin barrier. Plus, it's got sun protection —broad spectrum SPF 30 is already in the mix. Considering that a good moisturizing sunscreen with retinol can cost $50 or more, grabbing one for $20 is more than reasonable.
We may be craving the sound of leaves crunching beneath my feet, but summer's final act is far from over. And with fall staying pretty mild lately, there are plenty of grilling nights ahead of us before packing up for the season. If you're not a professional chef (like most of us), relying on a meat thermometer like this one to make sure everything you grill is cooked just right is a smart move. And now that this handy gadget is on sale, you won't have to worry about overcooking a steak ever again.
This primer is especially effective on aging skin because it doesn't settle into creases and fine lines, fans say — and big name users like Fran Drescher and Bethenny Frankel have also sung its praises. The price is also praise-worthy at a whopping 45% off, the lowest we've seen since Prime Day.
Got travel plans? Don't find yourself in a new place with 4% phone battery. According to McGraw, this on-the-go juicer-upper "is powerful enough to recharge an iPhone two times and AirPods Pro about 13 times."
He adds, "The power bank supports fast charging and can boost an iPhone to 60% in just 25 minutes. The gadget's 15-layer SmartProtect system eliminates the risks of overheating, overvoltage and other mishaps that might damage your devices. It features three separate ports (two USB-A, one USB-C), which means you can charge up to three devices at once. And that cute paw print? It's a charge indicator that lets you see how much power is left at a glance."
It's only dipped lower than this by $1, so snag one on Lightning Deal while you can save nearly 40%.
