Sony 65-Inch 4K Ultra HD TV X85K Series: 17% off
— Jacob Palmer, Senior Director of Content Operations
We need a new TV for the family room and have always loved the quality that comes with Sony. With it being football season, it’s the perfect time to buy — especially if I can save a couple hundred bucks in the process.
Sold by Amazon
Ring Video Doorbell: 30% off
— Jacob Palmer, Senior Director of Content Operations
We live in an old house that doesn’t have a doorbell already. Buying this discounted 2020 model will help us save money while also providing us with peace of mind — and it has stood up really well in our BestReviews testing lab over the years.
Sold by Amazon
Ring Floodlight Cam: $60 off
— Jacob Palmer, Senior Director of Content Operations
This is going to go great in our backyard. Ring makes it super easy to manage your whole system of cameras by putting them all in one app, and we need some light in our dark yard anyways, so it’s a win-win. I like to use these as de facto trail cameras because I want to see what kinds of coyotes, possums and raccoons are passing through in the night.
Sold by Amazon
2021 Apple TV 4K: 35% off
— Emilie DeFazio, Content Production Manager

Sold by Amazon
Echo Show 5: 59% off
— Jacob Palmer, Senior Director of Content Operations
It was beyond time for us to upgrade our Echo. I use it primarily for cooking, so I wanted the functionality of a screen to avoid always having to ask the device how much time is left for cooking. Also excited to use it for displaying recipes, so I won’t have to fiddle with my phone. I went with a slightly older model because the camera feature isn’t as important to me, and I’d prefer to save some money.

I’ve always wanted to try Lady Gaga’s lip products, and this shade is perfect for fall. It’s a long-wearing formula, which means you can sip on pumpkin spice lattes without worrying whether it will smear. I give it bonus points for the high-shine factor.
Sold by Amazon
Colorfulkoala Leggings: 30% off
— Ariana Sheehan, Engagement Editor
I live in Colorfulkoala leggings (a great dupe for Lululemon, even claim to be “buttery soft” — which they are!). Will be snagging them for 30% off today.

New Balance Women’s FuelCore Nergize Sport V1 Sneaker: $25 off
— Sian Babish, Content Manager
The FuelCore will be my second New Balance pair. It’s one of a few lightweight styles that promises to hold up to heavy use, which is mostly due to its durable mesh construction. It’s my new go-to gym shoe!

Kenra Smoothing Blowout Lotion: 34% off
— Sian Babish, Content Manager
I love this salon brand and had no idea it was sold on Amazon. This leave-in conditioner is the perfect heat protectant that keeps flyaways at bay — not to mention it makes hair soft without going greasy. A little goes a long way, and it’s worth every penny!
