We are officially on the right side of the summer solstice. The good news? These, the longest days of the year, mark the official beginning of summer! Woo-hoo! The bad news? From here on in, the days start getting shorter. Waaa! In the spirit of this on-the-one-hand-on-the-other-hand thinking, we want to make sure that you’re paying attention to the week’s best deals.
To wit: Cleaning your floors is probably the last thing on your mind right about now ... but when was the last time you could score $150 off an iRobot Roomba? And sure, these extra-long days mean a heightened danger of skin damage ... but this SPF 70 Neutrogena sunscreen is the perfect summertime face-saver, and it's $4 off. Having mixed feelings about spending umpteen hours in the car during the family road trip? Well, we spy with our little eyes a $110 markdown on a 4K dash cam.
See how that works? It's all a matter of perspective. So, with that, we bid you happy shopping and happy summer. And remember: only 185 days till Christmas!
Best deals to shop this week
More than 10,000 Amazon shoppers snapped up these earbuds in the past month, so calling them a customer favorite might just be an understatement. They come with more features than you may expect given the tiny package: active noise cancellation, transparency mode, USB-C charging and a snug, customizable fit.
"The noise cancellation amazed me," said this shopper. "I have a window A/C unit to cool my office and when I put these in, I thought it turned off. It took me two or three times of taking them in and out of my ear to realize the headphones were eliminating the sound."
Ah, yes, the coveted Stanley cup. These bad boys rarely go on sale (they don't really need to), but this sought-after sipper happens to be $6 off. It's got a built-in straw and keeps cold drinks cold for up to 11 hours (48 hours if they're iced). Plus, its tapered bottom will fit right in your car's cup holder.

The countrywide heat wave doesn't stand a chance with this multitasker by your side. Choose between five speeds, two smart modes that mimic both natural air flow and wind, and most importantly, misting.
If a sleek design is at the top of your tablet wishlist, the latest iPad Air is the perfect fit. Equipped with Apple's powerful M3 chip, it offers all-day battery life, a stunning 12-megapixel camera and a liquid retina display that makes movies and TV shows pop.
"The screen resolution is really beautiful," wrote one impressed shopper. "It's lighter in weight than my old one and a little thinner. The camera takes gorgeous pictures."
"This minimal crossbody has a lot going for it," says Yahoo's Initiatives Editor Julia Webb. "It's small, but not too tiny. It comes in only two colors, but black and brown are wildly versatile. You can wear it as a shoulder bag, thanks to the adjustable strap, and inside you'll find three card slots for your ID and credit cards. It's basic in the best way."
Never lose your luggage, purse, keys, car — anything, really — again. Just attach one of these to the item you want to track and you'll be alerted of its whereabouts via your phone. The deal on this four-pack brings each tag down to about $19 (they typically retail for around $25 a pop). Grab a few for your, er, forgetful family members...
These exfoliating toner pads help clear out oil, sebum and grime to visibly tighten pores and smooth skin. With a blend of BHA (white willow bark), AHA (fruit complex) and calming plant extracts, they exfoliate, reduce blackheads and balance oil production. In clinical testing, 100% of users saw visible pore improvement in just two weeks. Plus, every pack of this skin care favorite contains 70 pads, which should be plenty to get you through at least a couple of months of daily use.
Sunscreen is important year-round, but especially now, when we're spending more time outside, and with more skin exposed. This one made it onto our list of the best SPFs for your face, and it's even approved by medical pros.
"This sunscreen has been clinically tested and shown to give better sunburn protection compared to sunscreens with lower SPFs," says Dr. Joshua Zeichner, a New York City-based dermatologist. Plus, it's formulated to absorb quickly without leaving a greasy residue and will cost you just nine bucks.
An innovative, brightening eye cream featuring a bioactive moisture retention complex from the Resurrection Plant to help intensely moisturize and dramatically reduce the appearance of dark circles, fine lines and wrinkles. Plus, the True Botanicals sitewide Anniversary Sale is a buy more, save more event — meaning you can get up to 40% off orders, depending on how much you spend, and other perks automatically at checkout.
If you've had one of these bad boys on your wishlist for a while, I'd urge you to scoop up this deal while you can. Why? Well, the discount brings this top-selling model down to one of its best prices ever. Roomba and robovacs are pretty much synonymous at this point, and the fact that this one doubles as a mop makes the 43% markdown even sweeter.

"For a couple of years I dealt with a no name, cheapo blender, not wanting to drop some serious coin on the Nutribullet, but when it finally bit the dust this year I pulled the trigger. I don't know why I waited so long," says Yahoo Senior Deals Writer Chris McGraw
"It makes smoothies so much faster, plus, with one 32 oz cup, two 24 oz cups and three to-go lids included, you can make healthy breakfast smoothies for the entire family and drink them on the way to school. (Have you ever tried getting a kiddo out of the house on time? If you have you know exactly what I am talking about.)"
Another beat-the-heat bargain: This little fan (in dark green) has barely dipped lower than its current price all year, making it the right time to nab one for yourself. It's far more affordable than cranking the AC and has the benefit of being compact enough to take anywhere you go. Over 10,000 people have purchased one of these in the past month, so you might say this fan has many fans. (Note: Prices vary between colors.)
Get your glow on with this liquid highlighter that Martha Stewart herself uses for a little illumination. Daisy Toye, her longtime makeup artist, said she applies it to Martha's face after SPF to add dewiness and create "a smooth canvas for makeup." Formulated with glycerin and shea butter, this "glotion" helps hydrate skin and delivers a super natural-looking tint — all for a mere $13.
Accidents, unfortunately, happen, and if you happen to have one on the road, you'll be glad you had this camera to record the incident. According to McGraw, this one "can capture what's going on outside your car in 4K, which is important when you're trying to make out details like license plate numbers, especially when you're driving at night. Speaking of nighttime driving, the f/1.5 aperture lens allows this camera to capture a quality image even in low light."
He adds, "Not all accidents happen in front of you, which is why the RedTiger comes with a rear camera as well. It captures a wide, 140-degree-angle field of view, so you're covered in both the front and rear. The camera automatically detects crashes and locks and saves the video, just in case you can't." Grab it for 55% off — as low as it's ever been.
