I've caught myself searching for chunky cable-knit sweaters this week, hoping for a sudden 30-degree cool-down — it's well over 90 where I live. But let's pump the brakes. Summer isn't over. The kids may be heading back to school soon, but we've still got warm, sunny days to use. Now's the time to snag a travel bag for up to 80% off and hit the road or pick up a tablet or waterproof Bluetooth speaker and post up by the pool. Read on for today's best deals that make the most of what's left of summer and more.
"Labor Day discounts are still a few weeks away, so scoring a designer bag for more than 75% off is definitely a needle-in-a-haystack type deal," says Commerce Initiatives Director Jeanine Edwards. "Macy's is running a last-chance handbag clearance sale, but even those discounts top out at 70%. And over at Amazon, the best you'll find is 48% off this satchel. If you're looking for the lowest prices on the web, Michael Kors Outlet is the place to shop, and this crossbody is one of the best steals up for grabs right now."
If a sleek design is at the top of your tablet wishlist for back-to-school, the latest iPad Air is the perfect fit. Equipped with Apple's powerful M3 chip, it offers all-day battery life, a stunning 12-megapixel camera and a Liquid Retina display that makes movies and TV shows pop. The best part? It's never been priced lower.
"The screen resolution is really beautiful," wrote one impressed shopper. "It's lighter in weight than my old one and a little thinner. The camera takes gorgeous pictures."

Don't want a new vac to suck a ton of cash from your wallet? This sleek stick's a rare $74 (it's only dipped lower than this once). It sports strong suction for zapping up everything from dust to pet hair, and provides up to 40 minutes of run time per charge. Plus, its LED lights help you see those darker spaces, and its cyclonic filtration system traps airborne particles as well.

When it's too hot to turn on the oven, it's this compact countertop cooker to the rescue. With one-touch settings for fish, chicken, meat and fries, it'll have a meal on the table in minutes, and with little to no oil. Plus, it's less than a foot wide, so it won't take up much space. This over-40% markdown is the best I've seen, and there's also a model with a viewing window on sale.
Ever gotten to baggage claim and found your suitcase a little damp? Or opened it in your hotel room only to get a whiff of eau de jet fuel? These packing cubes not only keep your clothes organized (and help you cram way more into a single bag) but are also water-resistant — so whatever funk is lurking in the cargo hold stays far from your clothes — and your nose.
If you're anything like me, your thoughts are already drifting to crisp fall evenings, flannels and maybe even Halloween decor. Well guess what. Summer is still here and the 90 degree temps don't seem to be going anywhere, so hit the pool with the kiddos and bring along this waterproof speaker to have yourself a little end of summer bash.
Whether you're poolside with a true crime podcast or holed up in the library cranking out a term paper, these stylish headphones get the job done. Right now they're 50% off — just a couple bucks shy of their all-time low — so you can grab all the signature Beats perks for $100. They pair seamlessly with Apple devices, run for up to 40 hours on a charge and are as portable as they are comfortable, perfect for stashing in a backpack.
Has the family laptop seen better days? With term papers on the horizon, it might be time for an upgrade — or just a second machine to keep the peace around the house. This 14-inch HP packs 16GB of RAM and 288GB of storage, so it's ready for all the writing, spreadsheets and streaming you can throw at it (let's be honest — catching up on The Gilded Age is just as important as homework).
"We love nonstick pans for pancakes, eggs, fish and more — they make cooking easy and cleaning even easier," says Senior Deals Writer Carrie McCabe. "The Carote set is 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."
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 on Black Friday, so add it to your cart while you can save 50%.
