How’s your summer going? I was just in Maine, and I’m thinking I should look into changing my name to Violet Beauregarde since I’m about 89% blueberry at this point. Speaking of juicy things, the Amazon sales I’m seeing on this lovely Thursday are ripe for the picking — a bit of a rarity, given that we’ve got just over a week until Labor Day weekend. Hey, I’ll take it!
The best Amazon deals I’m seeing are, well, pretty darn good, if I do say so myself. How convenient that the latest Apple MacBook Air is currently down to a record-low price, just as back-to-school shopping is in high gear. And Crest Whitestrips are, shockingly, on sale for their best price of 2025 — something I don’t usually see outside of large savings events.
Plus, I’ve spotted major markdowns on top brands like Coach, Waterpik and Shark, just to name a few. How do you like them apples … er, berries?

“While some handheld frothers are less effective than countertop versions, this Amazon No. 1 bestseller and Yahoo editor favorite is an impressive powerhouse that works quickly,” she says. “It took me about a second to figure out how to use it (you basically just press the ‘on’ button) and about a minute for it to froth both dairy and almond milk into a cloud of rich and creamy foam.”
What sets the Tornado apart from other handheld options is its triple-whisk design, which results in even more voluminous foam in a snap. It’s powered by two AA batteries (sold separately), so there aren’t any annoying cords to deal with. Plus, it comes with its own metal stand in case you want to leave it on your counter for easy access.

“If you’re looking for a low-cost retinol treatment to help with dark pigmentation, this is for you,” she says. “RoC is the premier name in over-the-counter retinol, and its eye cream is highly rated. … It’s excellent for improving the appearance of both fine lines and dark circles, and it’s dermatologist-recommended too. I only wish it contained more antioxidant, nourishing ingredients. But for the price, it honestly cannot be beat.”
Speaking of price, this is close to as low as I’ve seen it in months.
