The best Amazon deals to shop this weekend: Snag Apple AirPods for an all-time low
Also in my cart? Early Prime Day deals on a Black & Decker stick vacuum (slashed to just $74) and comfy $17 pants beloved by Cher herself.
We — and probably a bunch of other people — owe you an apology for trying to bogusly psych you up over this past month or so. You know what we mean: Ooh, it’s Memorial Day — yay, summertime! then Ooh, it’s Father’s Day — yay, summertime! then Ooh, it’s Bloomsday [that would be June 16] — yay, summertime! Lies, all lies! But we’re coming clean when we say that this is, in fact, the first official weekend of Summer 2025, and these are, in fact, the best Amazon deals with which to inaugurate the season. It was recently announced that Prime Day is slated to kick off July 8, but here’s a bunch of straight talk on some real steals that are happening now.
Planning a road trip? How ’bout de-schmutzing your car’s interior — say, with a Craftsman hand vac? This one’s over 40% off. Perhaps a pair of zero-gravity chaises at a very non-zero markdown — $22. “Everybody into the pool!” you say? Not until you get to the bottom of things with this self-driving cleaner. Then dry off and let this mini projector (65% off) bring everyone to your yard for movie night.

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.

Been meaning to try these best-in-class ‘buds? They boast active noise cancellation, which shuts out the world so you can immerse yourself in music or whatever makes you happy. Adaptive Transparency mode allows you to listen to your tunes but also hear any important noises from your surroundings — and this is as low as they’ve been since 2024.

Apple products are so sought after that they don’t really need to go on sale, and when they do, it’s often because they’re older models. This is the latest version of this iPad, which makes the markdown all the more impressive. According to Senior Deals Writer Chris McGraw, who specializes in all things tech, “It’s an ultra-light, thin tablet that’s powerful enough to replace your laptop for most tasks but slips into your bag without a second thought. With a large 11-inch Liquid Retina display, you
