Today’s best sales: Save big on Bissell, Apple, Crocs, Kate Spade and more

Must read

Sometimes it feels like everything is on sale. Or is that “on sale”? We get it — it’s true that only some of those things are actually a good deal. Today, we’re rounding up 10 sales that are actually worth shopping, according to our research.

Let’s start with Bissell’s Little Green Carpet and Upholstery Cleaner — it’s down to the same price it was on Prime Day (its lowest ever) at just $86. If you’ve been wanting an easier way to count your steps and track other health data, Apple’s SE smartwatch is nearly 25% off. If you value comfortable footwear, Crocs’ classic clogs are marked down to as low as $35. And if you like your wine chilled and your coffee iced, try the Hyperchiller — for just $18, it will cool your drinks in as little as one minute.

See all of these deals and more below, but don’t wait to shop: The best sales are often fleeting.

Your carpets and upholstery are no match for Bissell’s Little Green Machine, according to Yahoo’s home editor. You can use it on rugs, couches, mattresses and more to bring things back to that “fresh from the factory” feel. Just fill one of the tanks with a mix of water and cleaning solution, turn it on and use the hose to start scrubbing away stains and other messes. The dirty water goes into a separate detachable tank that you can easily dump out in the sink.

I have one of these, and I use it almost weekly on pet stains, food spills and more. Recently, my partner violently sneezed while drinking a glass of red wine on our white couch (true story), but the Little Green Machine got it all out (lucky for him). Get it now while it’s on sale, whether you have pets or just live with some clumsy people.

“The muck and mystery liquid it pulled from my car carpet was disgusting and oddly satisfying,” said one Amazon reviewer. “Went to show my mother and did a spot in my sister’s room and listen, her floor hasn’t seen [this] color white in years!”

Apple

Need a new Apple Watch? The SE is at its lowest price all year, excluding Prime Day. It offers 18 hours of battery life, and you can use it to count steps, track workouts, send texts, detect falls and more. It will alert you if your heart rate is low, high or irregular and send you a notification when your cardio is low for the day (time to get moving!). 

“I’ve had several fitness and smartwatches over the years, but the Apple Watch SE truly stands out,” said one fitness fanatic. “This watch is incredibly accurate in tracking active calories burned, which has been essential for maintaining my calorie deficit eating plan. The heart rate monitoring, especially during my morning cardio workouts, is spot on. The look and fit of the band are excellent, although there’s a bit of a learning curve to fastening it securely, but once it’s on, it stays put.”

This bestselling tub, tile and floor scrubber is great for power washing a bathroom, kitchen, walls and more. It has a long, extendable handle and comes with six brush heads, plus the rechargeable battery lasts for up to two hours. It’s lightweight (only 1 pound) so it’s not hard to lift high or carry from room to room. 

About that price: Our records show this scrubber usually goes for $55, not $400. However, with the extra 30% off coupon, you can get this for $28, which is half off — still a great deal.

“Makes cleaning those hard-to-reach places so much easier!” said one shopper. “Very easy to use cleaning the tub and walls, easy to hold and very lightweight, quality is great.”

Alert! Crocs are on sale for as low as $35 at Amazon, down from $50. There are plenty of colors to choose from, so you can score “comfort no amount of words can begin to describe” at a delightful discount. Whether you’re wearing them to putter around the house, beautify your garden or kick back at the beach, these slip-ons will come in handy.

The price varies based on size and color, but Crocs’ own website is also discounting these up to 25% off. So, if the color you want is out of stock or isn’t on sale, take a look at the brand’s site.

One Amazon shopper confessed, “I always thought that Crocs were a crock. Just another fad, and a weird one at that. Then my doctor recommended them because I have wide feet exacerbated by bunions. They’re perfect!” The reviewer added, “I walked for about 45 minutes in these shoes — in town on flat surfaces — and they were so comfortable. I forgot I was wearing shoes!”

There’s no place for lukewarm drinks, especially when it’s hot outside. If you prefer your coffee iced and your wine chilled, the HyperChiller can chill drinks freaky fast — as in 60 seconds. It’s essentially a stainless steel 12.5-ounce cup that you keep in the freezer. Just pour your beverage inside, give it a swirl for one minute, and pour it back into your glass. Grab this while it’s on sale for its lowest price of the summer, and say buh-bye to diluted beverages.

Over 14,000 Amazon shoppers rave about the HyperChiller and give it a five-star rating. “I love this chiller!” wrote one reviewer. “Just as described, you can pour your hot coffee in it, and it will make it freezing cold in less than 60 seconds. I mainly use this for my iced coffee, but I have used this chiller for alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages as well. It works for pretty much chilling anything!”

You can never have too many tote bags! This nylon beauty comes in neutral gray or light blue and zips shut to keep everything inside. It’s just big enough to fit a 13-inch laptop and haul to work, but pretty enough to take to brunch with friends.

“My new favorite tote!” said one customer. “It holds everything I need: Two calendars, a clipboard, notebook, my wallet, keys and more! And it is beautiful. Pics don’t do it justice! I’ve got so many compliments on my bag.”

If you could use a few more outlets, and you’re not a fan of scurrying around in the dark looking for the light switch, this 2-in-1 surge protector and night-light can solve your problems. It provides six standard outlets, two USB-A ports and a USB-C port. You can tap it to turn on the light or program it to turn on when it detects motion, like if you get up at night. 

The surge protector has over 6,000 five-star Amazon reviews, and I actually purchased one of these myself last year — and I love it! I keep it next to my bed to charge my phone, laptop, AirPods and electric toothbrush, and I like that the light automatically shines before I even reach my lamp to turn it on. Grab it while it’s 50% off (just $10!).

This spot treatment contains retinol 8, a stabilized vitamin A complex that’s meant to be eight times more effective than conventional retinol but half as harsh on your skin. That means better results with less irritation, and who doesn’t love that? You can apply it to dark spots as they pop up. 

Yahoo’s beauty editor, Jennifer Romolini, named it one of the best retinol serums of 2024. She writes: “The formula itself is creamy, non-irritating and — concentrated or not — worked to lighten a stubborn brown spot on my cheek I’d been annoyed by for years in just three weeks.”

This 79-by-83-inch blanket that repels sand and water is down to just $14 with the on-page coupon. It’s made of 210 polyester, which repels water even better than an umbrella and easily shakes off any sand. It also has four anchors to keep it from flying off on windy days and a drawstring bag for easy carrying. It’s spacious too — big enough to fit three to five people.

“Love this blanket,” shared a shopper. “We have taken it hiking, on a picnic and to the beach. It is everything that it says it is. Lightweight, folds small, water-resistant and easy to clean. Would definitely purchase again.”

This lightweight cardigan is right on trend with its nautical stripes, crewneck and brass buttons. Wear it tied over your shoulders with a plain T-shirt or buttoned up with jeans on a chilly evening. If you prefer a little more color, this cardigan comes in 13 — all for just $20 when you clip the on-page coupon.

Some shoppers even compare it to J.Crew. “So soft! And so cute!” said one fashionista. “I’m a big fan of the J.Crew Emilie Sweater — this one looks just as good, is less cropped, more fitted, and in my opinion is in a softer and warmer material … It’s super stretchy too!”
