LAST CHANCE: 10 Cheap Ways To Take Your Fourth of July To The Next Level
GreenWorks G-MAX Battery-Powered Tools
GreenWorks has several yard-work tools that run on battery marked down today, including a blower, string trimmer and lawn mower. Battery-powered tools are so much easier to use and maintain than gas-powered, and we'd recommend making the switch, especially if your current tools are on their last leg.
Check out the full selection on sale today here.
Anker PowerLine+ 10-Foot Lightning Cable (Save $25.60)
iPhone users, this deal is something of a two-fer. First, you get one of the sturdiest cables out there. Anker's PowerLine+ is an upgrade to its already popular PowerLine cables, as PowerLine+ has a nylon covering that makes it even more durable. Second, this cable is 10-feet long, so for those of us with power-outlet-challenged homes or apartments can comfortably charge our phones.
Anker SoundCore Sport XL Portable Bluetooth Speaker (Save $100)
Anker says its newest Bluetooth speaker is waterproof, shockproof and dust-proof. That would make this the most durable Bluetooth speaker out there. See for yourself, though — it's just $60 right now, after a huge discount.
Nest Learning Thermostat (Save $50)
Nest has been one of the pioneers of the so-called "internet of things," and today, its hugely popular thermostats have a rare discount.
In case you're unfamiliar, Nest's thermostats connect to your home's Wifi network, and you control the temperature with a smartphone app. It can auto-schedule for you. So, for example, it keeps the house a little warmer during the day in the summer to cut down on cooling costs, then turns it back down to your optimal temperature when you get home.
If you haven't tried it out yet, you really should. We aren't sure how long this discount will last, so pick one up while it's marked down right now.
USB LED String Lights (Save $39)
Still haven't picked up a set (or four) of string lights? Today you can get a set from Oak Leaf that is USB-powered for just seven bucks. Transform a room in or outside of your house (or just set the mood for the night) with a quick and super-cheap set up.
You can choose from four different shades. See them all here.
Men's dress shirts from Calvin Klein, Van Heusen and Geoffrey Beane are on sale today, some up to 50 percent off. Check out all the styles here, and surprise dad with a new look or two for summer.
Innoo Tech Wine Aerator (Save $15)
Wine aeration can bring the flavor out in your red wine quicker and can be a cheap way to make that $20 bottle taste like $30 or $40. The blog WineKick says that red, earthy wines "can get to their optimal flavor faster with aeration," but it won't make much of a difference with whites.
Pick up this aerator from Innoo Tech for less than $10 and see for yourself.

Chef's Star Heat Resistant Cooking Gloves (Save $18)
A new and more well-rounded take on the heavy-duty grill gloves that are so popular. These are leaner for use all around the kitchen, for the clumsy cookers that don't want to risk burn mark when they go to boil some water or sauté some onions.
Anker PowerCore 10000mAh Portable Charger (Save $28)
You should be able to get about three full charges for your smartphone with this portable battery pack. Now that you're (hopefully) spending more time outside, grab one or two so you don't have to worry about your phone dying on you again.
Amazon Fire HD 6 Tablet (Save $30)
Amazon's super-popular e-reader is as popular as it'll probably ever get right now.
Rubbermaid Easy Find Lid Food Storage Container, 42-Piece set (Just $16)
Rubbermaid must be trying to get rid of every plastic container it has, because this 42-piece set has been on sale for what seems like forever.
Still, at just $16, the set is a super cheap way to refresh your old, moldy, warped plastic containers that hold onto your leftovers every night, so we're going to keep showing this to you as Rubbermaid does.
And if you want something more sturdy, this 18-piece glassware set has been marked down for awhile, too.
