Winter Jacket Sale Save up to 60%: We’re in the middle of the season, but it’s not too late to pick up a new winter jacket, especially one that’s up to 60 percent off. — Tanner Bowden
All-Clad Cookware Save Up to 80% In a tiny town 45 minutes southwest of Pittsburg lies the world’s most acclaimed makers of stainless steel pots and pans. Since literally inventing bonded cookware in 1971, All-Clad’s covetable cookware has been the option for high-end stainless steel. The only knock against them? The price. ? With standard-sized fry pans running up to $150, Pennsylvania-based company’s wares are historically expensive. Today is a mammoth exception, because today is the final day of the All-Clad factory seconds sale. ? If there were ever a time to invest in a few pieces of peerless cookware, this is it — these are the lowest prices you’ll find on unused All-Clad, outside of visiting the company’s in-person seconds sale at the factory. We’ve rounded up some staples and good deals below. Congratulations on your new pans. —Will Price ?
Vega Protein Powder Sale Save $30The world of protein powder is a scary place. The runners on our team often talk about what we do to re-fuel without putting crap into our bodies. My go-to is typically a giant scoop of peanut butter (and then maybe another one), but Vega’s Sport premium protein is a close second choice. I’ve sampled this powder in everything from wake up shakes to post-run peanut butter and banana smoothies, and it’s always tasted great to me. There’s no dry mouth or weird texture feeling with it. You can save $30 when you opt to buy a large tub of the vanilla or chocolate flavors. — Meg Lappe
Nordstrom’s Big Tumi Sale Save 30 Percent If you travel a lot — or want to start traveling more — there are few better investments than high-quality luggage. Today, Nordstrom is selling some of our favorite travel gear from Tumi for 30 percent off.— Justin Fenner
Yeti Hopper 18 Cooler Save $100: At this point, Yeti coolers speak for themselves. If you need a refresher, here it is: they’re burly enough to handle severe abuse (falls off cliffs, bears) and they keep beverages cold for, without exaggeration, days. Even the company’s more portable soft-sided Hopper coolers are overbuilt to take on much more than a camping trip or day at the beach will entail.
Yeti Coolers are also known for their price tag, so it’s notable whenever one is discounted as much as the Hopper 18 currently is on eBay. Typically $300, the cooler is on sale for $200. This model has enough volume for 20 beverages at a two-to-one can-to-ice ratio or 24 pounds of ice alone. Its high-density shell is waterproof, puncture-proof and both UV- and mildew-resistant. Yeti won’t be discontinuing it any time soon, so don’t wait around for another chance like this (it might not come). — Tanner Bowden
Google Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL Save $150: Google has lowered the price of its newest smartphones by $150. The smaller Pixel 3 drops from $799 to $649, while the larger Pixel 3 XL drops from $899 to $749. The price drop will continue until Monday, January 28.
