Today's best deals

ThruNite Archer 2A V3 Flashlight

Deal price: $25 | Street price: $36
With code ARCHER2AV3

Though the light on your phone can do the trick in a pinch, its usability and brightness are no match for a dedicated flashlight. Offering better illumination and durability than the competition, our top pick has a rugged design that can withstand full immersion in water, an easy-to-use two-button interface, and a wide range of brightness settings. When we cranked this flashlight to its highest setting during our testing, we could make out the trees at the end of a 500-foot field.

Anker PowerPort III Nano USB Phone Charger

Deal price: $14 | Street price: $17
Use code SDAK4TPCL

Say goodbye to the dreaded red battery icon on your phone. The compact and fast Nano will charge a fully drained phone up to 50% in just 30 minutes. It also provides full power to MagSafe wireless charging accessories. Due to the Nano's extremely small form—coming in at 1.2 by 1.1 by 1.1 inches—it only offers a single charging port. Still, the 20W Nano delivers high quality at a very affordable price, making it an easy top pick from our guide to the best USB phone chargers.

NEW LOW PRICE

Athleta Skyline Pant II

Deal price: $37 | Street price: $60
Price includes shipping

You don’t have to sacrifice comfort to look professional, even when you’re working from home. Quick-drying and Wrinkle-resistant, Athleta Skyline pants are made from a breathable recycled polyester that feels as good as it looks. They're not wrinkle-proof, however, so we recommend hanging or folding them to keep them looking their best. You can avoid the shipping fee with orders over $50.

ThermoWorks ThermoPop Meat Thermometer

Deal price: $30 | Street price: $40
Price includes shipping

Make sure you have all the essentials before you fire up the grill this summer, like our top pick for the best meat thermometer. Affordable and ergonomically designed, the ThermoPop delivers fast, accurate readings on an easy-to-read display. Plus, its impressive -58° to 572° F temperature range means it's usable for almost any dish. This deal is for an open-box model, which includes ThermoWorks’ full two-year warranty.

MATCHES LOWEST PRICE

DJI Mini 2 Drone Bundle

Deal price: $440 | Street price: $470
With Costco membership

If you’re getting into drone photography for personal use, you probably don't need an expensive, high-level model. Get your feet wet with an entry-level drone like our budget pick. Though it doesn't have the highest image and video quality, this minute drone features a 4K camera, autonomous flight features, and collision avoidance—all in a frame that folds up to about the size of your hand. Its smaller size also means the Mini doesn’t require registration and has a long-lasting battery. This bundle includes the DJI Mini 2, a carrying bag, extra battery, and a 32 GB SD card.

What else is going on

The best uninterruptible power supply (UPS)

Most people probably don’t need a UPS, but it can be an invaluable tool to help protect your electronic devices if you live in an area prone to power outages.

The best portable document scanner

A phone scanning app will get the job done, but there are a few cases—like applying for a mortgage or navigating legal situations—where a dedicated document scanner may come in handy.

The best Bluetooth headset

Turns out we got a few things right in ‘99. If you make a lot of important phone calls when you’re on the go, nothing beats the overall ease and quality of a Bluetooth headset.
