The best Amazon deals this weekend: Save on Apple, Bose, back to school and more

Must read

You made it through another week! The best way to celebrate? Making good use of those end-of-season sales and grabbing whatever you had on your warm-weather wishlist for a fraction of what you would’ve paid back in June (doesn’t it feel so long ago?).

Round out the dog days of summer by scooping up hotel-grade pillows for just $24 (originally $120) or nabbing a sand-repellant blanket for just $18 — and those are just the appetizers. There are a ton of Amazon deals worth shopping this weekend, and your friendly neighborhood shopping experts have assembled the best of the best on one handy page. (No need to thank us.)

There are also plenty of back-to-school supplies on sale, including an Apple iPad that can do just as much as most laptops for the lowest price we’ve seen to date (just $224, down from $329). Need to block out the world while studying? Check out these Bose noise-canceling headphones for $100 off. There’s even a treat or two for busy parents (namely, a breakfast sandwich maker that’ll make mornings way less harried).

Pumped? Us too. Take a peek at some of the best deals worth shopping at Amazon this weekend.

Never mind that it’s a previous-generation model. iPads hold their value and this iPad is one of the best tablets you can buy, period — especially at this heavily discounted price. A price break of $105 is significant, but that markdown is even more eye-catching when you consider this model comes with 64GB of storage. This is on par with the lowest price on record for the 9th Generation iPad — plus, the 32% discount makes the deal all the sweeter.

Apple’s AirTag is one of the best trackers you can get as an iPhone user. Simply connect it to your phone and use it to keep track of what matters — luggage, a purse, an expensive bike, your pet. You can also activate Lost Mode, which makes it play a loud sound. Grab one while it’s on sale for its lowest price ever, and toss it in your suitcase the next time you travel.

This is also the lowest price we spotted on an individual AirTag. Want to save even more? If you grab a four-pack, you can bring that price down to just $20 each.

Ready to finally trade your fraying wired earbuds for a sleek pair of Apple AirPods? These second-gen top-sellers have hundreds of thousands of perfect ratings for a reason — well, multiple reasons: clear, rich sound quality, 24-hour battery life and the fact that you won’t find yourself tangled up in cords if you accidentally fall asleep with them in. Apple is one of those brands that doesn’t really need to have sales since their products are so in demand. That said, we’ll take nearly $50 off when we can! 

“I’ve had a real problem with finding comfortable earbuds and for years have stuck to the one [pair of] corded earbuds that were comfortable and didn’t fall out,” wrote one Apple convert. “I thought it was finally time to try these as I transitioned to only having a cell phone. I was surprised at how comfortable they are. The sound quality is good, and the charge lasts a long time. I’m a believer!”

This nifty gizmo features layers of hot plates stacked on top of each other — essentially mini pans designed to perfectly cook each individual component. First, add ingredients to each pan — the bottom one is for the bread and sausage, bacon, ham or cheese. There’s a plate just for the egg, and then up top, you pop in another layer of bread. Then, close the device and let it toast.

Made from a soft, breathable polyester-spandex blend, the Brabic bodysuit hugs you in all the right places; its firm-control midsection sucks in your waist, fans say. With adjustable straps and full coverage in the back, it even helps lift and shape the bum. A three-hook closure at the crotch makes it bathroom-friendly — a must in bodysuits. While it’s not quite the lowest price we’ve ever seen, you could still get six of these popular bodysuits for the cost of one from Skims — and some shoppers say it’s even better than Skims. Note that pricing varies by size and color.
