As someone who’s worked from home for the past eight years, I try to spend as much time outside as possible once summer hits — not just to enjoy the sun, but to hang on to a little bit of sanity. (Working from a basement office wears on you fast.) That means meals usually happen at our outdoor table. But why not take it a step further and cook the whole meal out there? I love grilling — I just haven’t mastered the line between perfectly done and painfully overcooked. That’s where this handy wireless meat thermometer comes in, and it’s down to its lowest price ever, just $69. Then, after dinner, I usually slip on my Hoka Cliftons (currently 20% off at REI) and head out for a family walk — good for digestion, better for together time. Here are the day’s best deals to help make summer even better.

If you’re like me and you’re always second-guessing whether your meat’s medium rare or well done, this high-tech gizmo takes the guesswork out of grilling, roasting and baking by showing both the internal and external temperatures of whatever you’re cooking. One writer and her husband tried it out, saying they’ve “never grilled better meat — it almost feels like cheating.” (Check out her full Meater Plus review for more.) This is the best price we’ve seen in, well, ever, and when expensive steaks are on the line? You want to ensure they’re edible, or else that’s just money down the drain.

If you’ve seen a pair of Hokas in the wild, there’s a good chance they were Cliftons. Unbelievably comfortable, lightweight and supportive, they’re our best walking shoes this year, and you can score this springy style for nearly 20% off. But you’ll have to act fast, as certain sizes and colors are selling out fast. “They’re absolutely cloud-like,” raves Deputy Editor Izabella Zaydenberg. “They were the only shoes that didn’t exacerbate my plantar fasciitis (especially when I walked for hours at Disneyland).”

The newest iPad is an ultra-light, thin tablet that’s powerful enough to replace your laptop for most tasks but slips into your bag with room to spare. With a spacious 11-inch Liquid Retina display, you’re swiping and scrolling in vibrant color and sharpness that makes any screen that came before it feel like an old tube TV. If you’ve got a habit of toggling among a dozen apps, streaming videos and replying to messages simultaneously, you’re in for a treat. This iPad is ready to keep up with whatever you throw its way. And if you’re into gaming, the graphics capabilities mean you can play even demanding games without dropping a frame.
