TODAY’S BEST TECH DEALS
Need a new phone? Believe it or not, you can pay less than $200 for a quality smartphone, and they don’t have to be refurbished, either. The Moto G7 is one such phone. It has dual cameras that support 4K video capture, octa-core performance, 4GB of RAM, and a nice big 6.2-inch Full HD+ display, and B&H Photo has knocked $100 off its price tag. The smartphone is unlocked and available for use on pretty much all major U.S. carriers, 4G LTE and all.
If you’re an iPhone user, AirPods are your first consideration for true wireless earbuds. The AirPods Pro stepped the game up with rubber tips, noise cancellation, and better overall audio quality, and you can save $15 on a pair of your own at Adorama. It’s not a massive discount, but considering how rarely the newest Apple products dip in price, it’s still worth a look.
This one is for my fellow PC builders out there. Patriot’s Viper 4 Blackout 16GB kit (2x8GB modules) is down to $75 on Newegg. This is a great price for what you’re getting: fast 3600MHz RAM with a CAS latency of 17.
If you’re new to building, I’ll spare you the technical jargon, but your RAM speed is largely determined by those two numbers. Ideally, you want as much clock speed as you can get at the lowest CAS latency number you can find, and a configuration like this usually goes for just $10-$20 more. The only thing you’ll be missing out on are those cool RGB lights that prove to everyone how hardcore a gamer you are.
There’s nothing worse than being stranded with no way to charge your smartphone or other pieces of battery-guzzling tech. You don’t have to worry about that with a power bank, and you can get not just one, but two of our favorites for the price of one. Anker’s 20,1000mAh PowerCore battery bank comes in a two-pack for $49 at Side Deal, which is basically a buy one, get one when you compare prices with other retailers. Why are you still here? CHECKOUT!
If you need to charge your devices, consider the Orbit Powerbank charger. It’s only $25, which is a whopping 50% off the original list price. It also has a Bluetooth tracker, so you can find your phone in a crowded suitcase or messy room. And if you’re a bit vain, it also has a selfie remote so you can have a fire pose every picture. Adorama also offers free shipping. Grab this deal before it’s gone.
50% off Blue Light Blocking Lenses | GlassesUSA | Promo code BLUE50
Now that we’re at home all the time, slowly losing our minds, it’s crucial, now than ever, that we start taking our vision seriously. I mean, without the right pair of glasses, how are you going to finally binge-watch the entirety of The Sopranos over the next few weeks—without overworking your retinas? How are you going to comfortably see every bright sky blue-tinged pixel of your island in Animal Crossing: New Horizons?

If your smartphone or tablet charger crapped out recently, you have a really good opportunity to replace it today. Anker is dropping its 30W 2-port fast charger to $15, the lowest price we’ve seen to date, with promo code KINJAPPD2. It features one USB-C Power Delivery port capable of delivering 18W, and another USB-A PowerIQ port for anything that hasn’t jumped to newer standards.
P.S.: This deal only applies to the white model.
By now, you probably know whether your router’s equipped to handle everyone working from home and streaming Netflix all at once. If you’ve noticed your connection lagging lately, it might be time to upgrade your router to handle all the increased traffic and binge-sessions. Netgear’s Nighthawk X10 router is an excellent option that should give your network a speed boost. Right now, you can get it for 48% off, bringing this router down to $250, which is still pricey, but brings it in line with other high-end routers. That said, its one-year warranty is a bit less than you can get from other companies, so make sure you’ve done your research and know that it’ll suit your needs before hitting that buy button.
Whether they love to snap shots of the kiddos and pups, or just need a new hobby in quarantine, The DJI Osmo Mobile 3 is a nifty gadget that will up anyone’s photo and video game by removing any wobbling your hands do while capturing your shots. It’s usually $120, but DJI is offering it in a Mother’s Day gift box, along with a carrying case, wrist strap, tripod, anti-slip pads, a storage pouch, a digital frame, and an 8GB SD card for just $140. It’s a great deal packed with tons of fun stuff, but it’s only available until May 10.
Keeping your connections secure and private is important, especially now that you’re probably spending more of your free time looking on some sort of screen. VPNs range in price, and you can even get some for free, but with something as important security, it’s worth investing in a good one. Right now, Kinja readers can get two years of Pure VPN for just $48, a savings of 82%. This plan allows you to have up to five devices connected, too, so your whole family can be covered.
If you need a fun weekend project, or just want to spruce up your home after spending a bit more time staring at your walls, changing up your lighting rig is a pretty simple way to get that done. Right now, you can save $11 on a Phillips Hue Hub on Daily Steals using the promo code KJPHSMRT. You’ll have to buy some light bulbs to go along with it, but you can always do that later if you’re strapped for cash.
If you’ve been itching to up your audio game, or just need something to drown out the noise in your makeshift home office, consider Apple’s AirPods, which you can get for $20 off right now at B&H Photo. They’re portable, so you can carry them with you around the house, easy to pull out when you need to chat with someone, and they easily pair with all your Apple devices so you don’t have to keep futzing with Bluetooth settings all day.
You’ve probably spent enough time working from your laptop to know whether a bigger screen would do you any good. If you think you’d benefit from some extra screen space, but you’ve been waiting for something a little more budget friendly, Dell’s 24” UltraSharp Monitor is a great addition to your workspace that won’t make as big a dent in your wallet as others, since it’s down to $250 on B&H Photo right now. You won’t get the highest resolution available, and it’s a bit smaller than other options, but it’s still a great, affordable option that’ll make working just a bit easier.
TBH, one way I’ve managed to filter out the bullshit (and my LOUD upstairs neighbor) in all fo this is with a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. You can can treat yourself to a pair from TaoTronics, one of our readers’ favorite brands from the makers of RAVPower portable chargers, for just $30 right now using our exclusive promo code KINJAD2E. This deal lasts until May 5, so you’ve got time, but not THAT much time to think about it.
We’re in impulse buy territory at this price, and anyone dealing with noisy roommates while they’re trying to work will appreciate the perks of active noise cancelling, which differs from passive noise cancelling since it leverages sound to combat itself. If reviewers are to be believed, these are some of the best noise-cancelling headphones you can get on a budget. And with a battery life of up to 45 hours, your bops never have to stop.
Wireless chargers aren’t quite efficient enough to fully replace cable charging, but they can be incredibly convenient, and right now, you can grab one for as low as $8. That’s the going price for Anker’s PowerWave Pad, which offers up to 10W (limited to 7.5W on iPhones) to deliver the fastest possible charge you’re going to get. Just use coupon code KINJAW18 at checkout, and it’s all yours.
I don’t know about you guys, but I often forget to plug in my (somewhat ancient) iPhone 8 Plus almost every other night, despite the cord being right on my nightstand. I’m sure there are a couple of folks who do the same thing, and I’m here to tell you we don’t have to suffer anymore.
The Anker Powerwave charging pad and charging stand have come through at a low price of $20 with a promo code, so you can charge both iPhones and Androids at a pretty good speed. The best part is that you don’t have to take off your phone case to get a good charge! It can deliver power with cases up to 5mm thick, so don’t worry about your phone mysteriously falling and breaking its back on the cold, hard floor. I’d grab this duo before it is gone!
Working from home isn’t always an easy adjustment. That’s especially true if you’ve suddenly found yourself having to keep an eye on your kids while you feign attention on your third Zoom meeting of the day. It’s not a substitute for good parenting, and you still need to be diligent, but this Eufy Baby Monitor can make it a little easier to let your little one rest while you’re wrapping up your call, and it’s down to $80 on Amazon right now.
TODAY’S BEST HOME DEALS
Etsy is a wonderful market place to support small/independent businesses. One of their best performers is handcrafted soaps. Coastal Honey Bees is one of those companies. This indie shop has a great deal on one of their top sellers. Get 12 honey chunk soaps for $79. This is a 27% discount for a year’s supply of bars.
And now that everyone is on board with vigilant handwashing these will come in handy. You can choose from the original honey chunk, glycerin honey chunk, or a mix of each. They are great for sensitive skin so don’t fret if this you.
This is a great gift for an all-natural Earth Momma if you’re struggling for a Mother’s Day item. They are offering free shipping on this item and a few others in their store.
If you’re anything like me, you’ve got a bunch of random shit in the back of your car—cleaning supplies, oil changing equipment, and emergency gear in case there’s an accident that definitely isn’t my fault. All that junk, in turn, winds up cluttering your trunk, then what are you going to do with all that junk all that junk inside your trunk? Organize it. For $20 right now, you can get Highland’s on-the-go trunk organizer to help you with that.
Note that when you’re out in the driveway spring cleaning your car, that includes the trunk. Let me tell you, it makes grocery shopping a hell of a lot easier when you don’t have to move your various interior/exterior cleaning products and accessories around to find a place to put your bags. No more forcing passengers to CARRY the La Croix carton (@me next time); look your mess in the eyes and clean it up.
Feeling a nutritional deficit during these hard times? Same here. In fact, I’ve started blending up frozen avocados, bananas, and kale to make up for the grossly unhealthy junk food habit I’ve picked up since I started working from home in mid-March. And I gotta say, it helps. You can do the same for yourself (and/or blend quarantinis more efficiently) with an $80 Ninja blender from Google Shopping via Target.
One of our readers’ favorite brands right now, Ninja Kitchen makes everything from air fryers to cold brew coffee makers; however they’re best known for their blenders. This extra-large 72 oz. blender yields high capacity AND high power. Blend smoothies, crush ice, puree, and process food today.
No one wants to drag their lazy ass out of bed half an hour early each morning to wait in a Starbucks line for massively overpriced, sugar-filled hot drink. You don’t have to drink black coffee (ew) for a quick morning pick-me-up with Mr Coffee’s Espresso and Cappuccino maker, which MorningSave has for $39 today.
This unit can serve up to 20 ounces of the liquid gold. Top your drinks off with the built-in milk frother before funneling it all into a glass carafe that can hold up to four espresso shots.
If you like our kitchen to be more colorful than a bed of spring flowers, these Cuisinart knives are a perfect addition. At MorningSave, you can get six stainless steel knives and their accompanying blade guards for just $19. Here are all the different pieces you can look forward to:
- 1x 8″ Chef Knife
- 1x 8″ Slicing Knife
- 1x 8″ Serrated Bread Knife
- 1x 7″ Santoku Knife
- 1x 6.5″ Utility Knife
- 1x 3.5″ Paring Knife
Grab some here.
In these trying times, we need generators we can trust to get the job done. The Suaoki portable generator can be charged traditionally or by the sun’s strong rays (with a separate solar panel kit) to give power to all your devices when you’re in a pinch. Plus, with the promo code “NBVFMA8N,” it’s down to $76, which is 40% off the original list price. The generator comes with four DC ports, three 3.0 USB ports, as well as two-prong sockets! Grab this before it’s gone!
If you’re like me you’re going through boxes of tea being at home so much. I use it to perk me up in the morning if I’m not feeling the java and I use it to wind down at night with a good comic book. So tea enthusiasts, this sale is for you. Tea Drops is offering a buy one get one 25% off with the code BOGO25 on all items.
Tea Drops is a female-owned and operated company who’s products are organically produced and American made. If you’ve never tried them they make the sipping experience fun and easy. Brew, drop, enjoy. Each tea is full-flavored and the range of options is vast. Sweetened/unsweetened, caffeinated/noncaffeinated, matcha, wellness, and dessert. If you can’t find something you like do you even tea bro?
Shipping is just $3.99 and you get a free mystery drop with every order.
If you’ve listened to any podcast the past year you know Brooklinen to be an omnipresent sponsor with pretty rave reviews at that. And gosh darn it, if it’s good enough for Dax Shepard it’s good enough for me. From now until May 6th enjoy 20% off anything on the site with the code BDAY. This is a great deal if you want to spruce up your bedroom. The classic core set of sheets is their best seller and a great introduction to the company. If you love affordable quality and comfort in your bedding Brooklinen is for you.
But it’s not just blankets, pillows, and sheets. Brooklinen also has a line of comfy loungewear and even has home decor, which I did not know. Basically, anything your domicile could require, they have it. There appears to be free shipping on all orders but I can’t find anything specified so this could be just for the birthday deal. Either way gorgeous options, great prices.
Now is crunch time where if you want to send mom flowers for Mother’s Day you have to move fast. Custom bouquets are running out and delivery options are filling up. UrbanStems has a plethora of beautiful bouquets, plants, and gifts still available though. They are giving Kinja readers 15% off and free shipping with code KinjaMomsDay. Free shipping alone has me thinking this is exactly how I’m sending a botanical bundle to my mom.
There are no stipulations on these savings so it’s sitewide. A lot of adorable plant options with their own vases too. So if you’ve got a real Earth Momma with a sense of humor this prehistoric planter is for her. Tons of options right now, but move fast before spots fill up.
No matter what you choose you will definitely make your mom’s very special day.
Need a battery that can jump start your car as easily as it can your phone? Pick up Gooloo’s 4000A Peak SuperSafe Car Jump Starter for $84 at Amazon using the promo code 3N9NLMI7.
While most people need a portable charger you can stuff in a bag or jacket pocket, this battery packs enough power to jump start your car in a pinch, too. With two USB-A charging ports, and one USB-C charging port, you’ll be able to keep all your gear charged up on your road trips without worrying about killing your car’s battery.
There is nothing worse on a road trip than your phone battery running out. If you don’t have a fancy car with USB ports built in, you might be struggling when the phone starts telling you the battery is low. The Qidoe Car Charger can make sure you won’t have this problem again, with two USB ports and a USB Type-C port. It also has additional lighter slots built in, just in case you were using the car lighter to power something else. It’s a pretty good deal at $14 on Amazon, so grab this while it lasts!
My roommates and I don’t like paying too much on utilities, so we keep the house at 76 degrees, as recommended by our power company. That’s all fine and good during the day, but I find myself burning up when I head to bed. My puny fan doesn’t really help, so I need a more direct method to cool down. That’s where the ChiliPAD comes in.
The ChiliPAD sleep system comes with a mattress pad that cools you down, as well as a “thermal regulating control unit”, which sounds extremely fancy. You can get the ChiliPAD and cool down your bed for $150 off when you use the code sleepretreat at checkout. That brings a one-person ChiliPAD for a queen bed down to $350! Now go and get some quality sleep, for me.
TODAY’S BEST LIFESTYLE DEALS
You know what they say, April showers bring new styles, which means there’s plenty of new selection in the virtual clearance aisle over at Nordstrom. Right now through May 3, you can save up to 50% on thousands of items including those designed for men, women, and children. Expect a plethora of name brand styles at store brand prices.
This Leith print strappy chiffon minidress, for instance, is $30, comes in tan floral and pink leaflet patterns, and looks great no matter how you slice it. For guys, the iconic Bonobos moto bomber jacket will have everyone singing your praises once it’s safe to go out to bars again. Prepare ahead of time and get it for half off. Stow away the heavy jackets and opt for a light casual spring hoodie, only $27 for a limited time.
It’s not just clothes in this sale, however; also pictured here is the Nova Sprout diaper backpack from Herschel. No idea why it’s called that, but it’s not just for diapers! I have the black one and it carries my 13″ MacBook Pro, along with miscellaneous work supplies. You can snap up a cute lil’ nesting space for your fur babies, too—55% off the list price. Peruse a wider selection in our always-updated roundup of the best Nordstrom deals today.
If you wanna get a little crazy, you should check out this Ella Paradis Cinco de Mayo bundle.

This is the perfect opportunity to stock up on some cute new tees for summer. Their tshirt collaborations are world-famous and I think I bought every single one in the Marvel collection last year. And I might have this Pikachu tee in my cart right now.
They have wallet-friendly fashions for the whole family too. Ladies, you have to check out the Marimekko dresses. Gents, there are a ton of great items in the sale section, especially if you’re looking for a new blazer or buttondown. And as always, there’s a ton of cute tees for the kids.
Whatever you choose, choose quickly. Pieces won’t last with the awesome sales and free shipping.
Whether you’re gearing up for some backyard camping or heading into the countryside for a more authentic trip, REI Outlet is giving you a great chance to save on gear you may need by taking an extra 25% off your purchase of items from five top outdoor brands.

Free Shipping on all orders and it looks like the deal runs through May 4th.
Until the end of May, Babeland is offering $20 off any $99 purchase. This is $20 off the whole order so it doesn’t have to be one item. Since we can’t reach out and touch someone we might as well touch ourselves. And I deem self-care aids as essential items. The Magic Wand is still basically the gold standard and is a good option is you are in the vibration market.
Or mix it up and get adventurous with lingerie and BDSM gear. I would highly recommend cleaner and batteries if you’re purchasing a toy. And why not stock up on condoms for when we can socially…associate again? Is that the opposite of distancing?
Babeland is a great site with amazing products for all your sexy times, especially if you are a solo aviator. And free shipping on orders over $69.
PS. I can’t get over how cute this Wednesday Holmes designed Le Wand is.
We may be stuck inside for the most part right now, but that’s all the more reason to spring clean your wardrobe and feel like a person again. Believe me, every morning I wake up at the same time I did back in January, brew some coffee, and put on my casual workday attire. You can do the same, and even try out some new looks, with up to 60% off Huckberry spring outerwear.
Among our readers’ favorite brands, Huckberry is spotlighting Mendo flannels, Moto leather jackets, Flint and Tinder 10-Year hoodies, and more. Peruse the selection yourself and take something home.

And if nothing in the spring outerwear catalog is to your liking, here’s a little something to take the edge off: our regularly updated Huckberry deals page walking you through the hottest sales of each week.

Mother’s Day will be here before you know it! Mostly because every day seems to run into each other and I’m sure most of us don’t know what they mean anymore.

TODAY’S BEST MEDIA DEALS
Missing Ron and Leslie in your life? Today, you can relive all seven seasons of Parks and Recreation for just $30 at VUDU. That’ll get you the HDX copy, the highest available. I can’t promise the circus formerly known as local politics on display here would translate well to your real-world community, but if nothing else, at least you’ll walk away with your sides hurting from laughter.
I watched four seasons of The Walking Dead before my interest began to wane. The long mid-season breaks only to return with a half-dozen episodes of walking and talking completely turned me off. I’ll wait for the whole thing to be finished before I catch up with Rick, Michonne, and all the others. In the meantime, a read through the comics that inspired it isn’t a bad idea, especially if you like the Telltale games, and you can pay what you want to get started with that at Humble Bundle.
Pay $1 or more for the first five issues, $8 for the next eight, $15 or more for another 10, and $18 for nine more. There are also three spin-off comics to sink your teeth into.
