Score an editor-approved summer dress for $15, plus 9 more of today's best sales

Even those of us who love our jobs need a little pick-me-up to get over that midweek hump from time to time. The weekend's so close, yet so far! You know what always works for me? A little retail therapy. Sure, as a commerce writer, I might be biased, but I'm not talking about any old shopping. I'm talking about deals shopping, because few things can turn a frown upside down like saving money. That's why I've been on the lookout for fabulous on-sale finds, and, reader, there are some really good ones today. From one Yahoo editor's favorite warm-weather dress (marked down to $15!) to Apple AirPods for a record-low price, these are my top 10 picks.

When I asked Rory Halperin, our senior commerce editor for branded content, what the best thing she bought last month was, she told me it was this flowy frock. "There's nothing I love more than a comfy summer dress I can dress up or down," she says. "I bought a similar style last year at Target, so when I saw this one, I immediately snapped it up in every color (literally). The dress is soft and stretchy and super versatile — I can wear it to work with a cardigan and pair of sandals or throw on sneakers and wear it while running errands on a warm day. Bonus: It has pockets!" Extra bonus? It's on sale for a mere $15 (that's 40% off!).

If you've been holding off on buying AirPods until there's a sale, consider this the time to pounce. At just $99, this pair is down to the best price I've seen. Now, they don't include active noise cancellation like these do, but if it's a high-quality, comfortable listening experience you're after, these earbuds more than deliver. With up to five hours of listening time per charge (and 30 hours of battery life via the charging case), you'll be able to enjoy music, podcasts, audiobooks and more with limited interruption.

While I'd typically urge you to steer clear of sharks, this is one I'd recommend getting up close and personal with. Its super-strong suction targets pet hair and other debris hiding within the depths of your carpets, and it can run for up to 40 minutes before needing a recharge. Need to dust off furniture, countertops or the inside of your car? Just pop out the built-in handvac. You'll save over 40% with this deal — it's close to as low as it's been since October.

RHOBH star Kyle Richards gives this pack two thumbs (toes?) up. "These are great, these no-show socks. They come in a package of six!" she says during an Amazon Live. She admits that when her "socks are showing," her friends make fun of her look — "[It's] a dorky vibe," she laughs. "The aesthetic is not good, guys, if you're wearing a sock with your workout shoes … They shouldn't show!" Nonslip heel grips help keep them from sliding down (the worst), and the moisture-wicking fabric will come in handy on sweaty summer days. At 50% off, this is as low as they get.

Gordon Ramsay himself says this pan "cooks to absolute, utter perfection" — and it's not often on sale. The hybrid design marries strong stainless steel with nonstick properties for a cooking surface that can achieve a good sear while staying easy to clean. This skillet features aluminum sandwiched between stainless steel for expert heat conduction and distribution, and it hasn't dipped lower than its current price in months.

A queen mattress for under $200? No, you're not dreaming! But this isn't just any mattress.

This sleek set caught my eye with its modern look; its minimalist appearance suits many outdoor aesthetics, and it would instantly elevate the appearance of a patio or deck. Made of sturdy iron, it was designed with longevity in mind, and the breathable fabric encourages airflow to prevent things from getting too sticky.

Included are two chairs, a loveseat and a coffee table, making it ideal for hosting a small group or enjoying your breakfast alfresco. At over 40% off, this set is down to one of its best prices since Black Friday and the holidays. Patio furniture is often marked down during the off-season, so finding an option with as many five-star ratings as this one at such a great price is a true rarity.

Brooklinen isn't exactly known for its low prices, but when the brand has a sale, it's a SALE. Commerce Editor Saundra Latham recently snagged this chic striped number, which is currently almost 50% off. "Brooklinen's bedding is normally a little too rich for my blood, but I scored this duvet cover on final sale and it might be my new favorite," she says. "It's hard for me to resist a subtle stripe, but more than that, I adore how this crisp cotton percale feels on warmer evenings. It's soft without that vaguely icky slippery feeling that some bedding has, and the tight weave is doing an admirable job standing up to cat claws that just don't get trimmed often enough."
