This is our now-weekly roundup of awesome, useful products currently at a big discount on Amazon. From the bigger investment items your home needs to the things that are nice to have, we’ll be letting you know when the stuff you’ve been wanting anyway has gone on sale (sometimes up to 83% off) so you can get the best deal possible!

1. Echo Dot (2nd Generation) – Black + TP-Link Smart Plug

$50.98

43% off. Through no fault of my own (other than swiping on Tinder, I guess), I have ended up in a smart-system household…and it’s pretty great. We can adjust the lights, play music, turn on the TV, adjust the AC, etc. from anywhere in the apartment. This Amazon Echo + smart plug combo (which you def need if you want to hook up that AC, etc.!) is nearly half off today, so if it’s been on your list, check it out!

2. Baebody Retinol Moisturizer Cream for Face and Eye Area. – With Retinol, Hyaluronic Acid, Vitamin E

$13.96

65% off. I don’t personally use any retinol products — my sensitive lil skin cells can’t handle it — but I have some friends who swear by it. If you’ve been looking for a good one, this product has great reviews all around and is at a HUGE discount today, especially considering how pricey some skincare lines can get. Check it out!

3. Spring Chef Meat Tenderizer, Heavy Duty Hammer Mallet Tool & Chicken Pounder, Black

$8.47

58% off. A real common theme of these roundups is “things I always wish I had on hand in the middle of cooking dinner, but never remember to buy when I’m not.” Meat tenderizers come in super handy for so many dishes, from parmesans to fried chicken. This one is more than half off today and has great reviews, so definitely take a look if you’re in the market.

4. Etekcity Camping Portable Air Mattress Inflatable Single High Airbed Blow up Guest Bed Tent Mattress with Rechargeable Pump, Height 9″, Twin/Queen Size

$55.49

68% off. It’s camping season! And here in New York, it’s we-have-guests-every-other-weekend season. Both of these things mean one thing: air mattresses come in super handy. This one is nice and compact, meaning it would fit on the floor in most living spaces, and its way on sale today.

5. SONGMICS Picnic Blanket Waterproof Beach Camping Outdoor Blanket Mat 77″ x 59″

$14.44

28% off. Speaking of camping season — it’s also PICNIC SEASON. I love these little picnic blanket carriers. Picnics are the ultimate frugal-but-fun way to spend summer weekends, because they can be way cheaper than brunching, but still feel festive enough to be special. This blanket is already an inexpensive option, and has a nice little discount today, so be sure to check it out.

6. Luxury Soft-Sided Cat Carrier [Airline TSA Approved]- Pet Travel Portable Kennel for, Cats, Small Dogs and Puppies by Pet Magasin

$23.97

52% off. We only have a hard plastic shell carrying case for the cat, and I gotta say…it’s horrible. The opening is tiny, and he hates it, so getting him to get inside is an endless struggle. Thankfully, he only ever has to use it once a year max, but I’m definitely considering a soft case like this one.

7. LauKingdom Cast Iron Cleaner, Anti-Rust Stainless Steel Chainmail Scrubber with Corner Ring, Round

$9.99

63% off. I’ve had a castiron pan for several years now, and while I love it, it’s kind of a pain to keep clean. You’re not supposed to use soap, but goop will quickly build up, and steel wool will just scratch it. This chainlink scrubber looks like the perfect solution, and bonus, it’s super cheap today!

8. Salt and Pepper Grinder Set of 3 – Tall Salt and Pepper Shakers with Adjustable Coarseness by Ceramic Rotor

$14.21

32% off. If you haven’t already introduced a peppermill into your life, idk what to tell. Fresh cracked pepper makes SUCH a big deal in cooking. I’m not so sure the salt ones matter, but the matching set does look quite ~chic~ altogether. Be sure to check this out today if you’re looking to up your kitchen game — it’d be a great gift set, too!
