Stance-Occipital-Dress-Socks-gear-patrol

Deal: 20% off
“My sock drawer is stuffed with hiking socks, running socks, cycling socks and other activity-specific peds, so a dressy pair — but not too dressy, note the pirate emblem — was probably in order. Plus, Stance’s Butter Blend is ridiculously soft.” — Tanner Bowden, Staff Writer

Samsung 43-Inch 7100 Series HDTV

Deal: $132 off
“I’ve been considering upgrading to a 4K UHD TV for a while. My TV-obsessed friend swears by Samsung. I considered bumping up to Samsung’s 8 Series which gets better reviews. But I decided to save $200 for the cheaper but still solid 7100 model. I don’t do much gaming, and it’s doubtful my two-year-old will complain about the slightly reduced color vibrancy while watching Daniel Tiger.” — Tyler Duffy, Staff Writer
