Prime Day deals we actually bought

Featuring deals on Lego, air purifiers and more Wirecutter Staff OUR GUIDE Dorie Chevlen At Wirecutter, it’s our job to find the very best products and services for our readers. But one occupational hazard is that we also like to buy the best of the best for ourselves—especially when those items are marked way down. Whether it’s a great deal on one of our tested picks or just an indulgence we’ve been eyeing for months, the following items are what Wirecutter staffers have either bought and highly recommend or are planning to buy today.

[Learn More ›]( Online glasses at a great value [EyeBuyDirect Lenses and Frames 35% Off + Free Shipping]( [Deal price: $26]( | Street price: $40 As someone with pretty bad vision, I’ve loved the rise of online glasses sites. They have tons of styles at prices vastly more affordable than those of brick-and-mortar stores, and there are so many sales. Unfortunately the sales are usually just on the frames and don’t cover my comparatively bad prescription (thanks, genes!), which is why I was so excited to see an EyeBuyDirect deal that takes 35% off both lenses and frames. I scooped up some high-index prescription sunglasses so that the only Coke bottles in my life are drinks and not clunky, thick lenses. — Erin Moore, editorial assistant A durable travel mug [Zojirushi SM-KHE Travel Mug (16 oz)]( [Deal price: $18]( | Street price: $22 I was gifted this exact same travel mug almost six years ago, and I loved it. In fact, after receiving the Zoj, I got rid of all my crappy travel mugs that leaked and were hard to clean so that I had just this one, super-sturdy, leakproof mug (it's more like a mini thermos than a traditional travel mug). Alas, my daughter used it as a water bottle one day at school, and the Zoj never returned home. When I saw this deal, I decided it was finally time to treat myself to a mug I can take to the playground and on road trips. I may even snag a few as gifts for my kids’ teachers. — Christine Cyr Clisset, deputy editor A gastronomic game [Sushi Go Card Game]( [Deal price: $7]( | Street price: $9 Sushi Go is an ideal card game: It’s easy to teach, impossible to master, and portable enough to bring anywhere. I’ve played it with friends before, and it’s equally great for a family game night or a hangout with beers. I’ve been meaning to buy the game for a while, but having $2 off today is what made me take action. — Connor Grossman, newsletter strategist Bluetooth tracker to find your stuff [Tile Mate (2020) Bluetooth Tracker (2-Pack)]( [Deal price: $34]( | Street price: $46 My wife is a brilliant, hilarious, kind, beautiful, and accomplished woman. She also misplaces her phone several times a day, and it drives me crazy. We’ve torn our house apart many times before finally finding it in the cup holder of our Jeep, buried beneath blankets on our bed, and hidden in piles of my son’s toys. Enter the Tile Mate, a godsend for our marriage and sanity. We synced this little Bluetooth tracker to Aliyah’s phone, and now—instead of her asking “Have you seen my phone?”—we simply grab the Tile Mate from the dish where I keep my keys, press a button, and Aliyah’s phone starts playing a delightful little tune (even if it’s on vibrate or silent), luring us to wherever it is. — Ben Frumin, editor-in-chief A nautical Lego set [Lego Ship in a Bottle Expert Building Kit]( [Deal price: $49]( | Street price: $70 I have a friend who lives at the beach and hates puzzles. Building this ship in a bottle feels like just the right relaxing experience, and it’s something that she’ll get to display as she gazes out at the ocean with her newfound zen. I was going to buy it at full price for her birthday next week, but I’m glad I waited, because I just scored it for less with the $21 Prime Day discount. — Annemarie Conte, deputy editor Doggy wipes [Earth Rated Dog Wipes]( [Deal price: $23]( | Street price: $90 I’m the kind of dog owner who lets their pup hang out on the couch whenever he wants, sleep in our bed … he basically has full access to all of our furniture. At the same time, we live in Brooklyn, and his feet (and sometimes belly—he's a “low rider”) get especially dirty after we take him out on walks. Enter the Earth Rated Dog Wipes. They’re hypoallergenic, compostable, and scent-free—particularly important because my dog is sensitive to scents, and many wipes have all sorts of fragrance. Compared with other brands, the Earth Rated Dog Wipes are textured, so they help wipe off the grime better than smooth ones. They keep his feet (and the rest of him) clean, so we don’t have to worry about whatever he stepped in getting onto our furniture. There’s a deal right now where you can get a four-pack for nearly $23—only about $5.60 per pack! For context on what a good deal this is: The last time I stocked up, I paid $9 a pack. — Melissa Gilkey, chief operating officer An effective and affordable air purifier [Coway Airmega 200M Air Purifier]( [Deal price: $150]( | Street price: $210 I have two of these air purifiers in my apartment, and I just bought another one for my mom. My daughter has a dust mite allergy that manifests as eczema, and these air purifiers have been a game changer in keeping the dust in our apartment under control. We’ve seen a real difference in our daughter’s skin since we started using them last fall. And I’ve also noticed that our entire family seems to sneeze less. — Christine Cyr Clisset, deputy editor Reusable silicone bags [Stasher Reusable Silicone Bag Multi-Pack (4-Pack Small, Clear)]( [Deal price: $39]( | Street price: $48 I really can’t justify using wasteful, disposable Ziploc bags anymore. I’ve had just one prized silicone Stasher bag for a few years that I use to store leftovers in the fridge or hold snacks when I travel. It stores flat, it’s easy to throw in the dishwasher to clean, and it looks just as good today as when I bought it. Stasher bags are available at many stores now, but they’re more expensive there. This is a great discount to expand my collection and get more use out of them. — Roxanne Emadi, director of editorial strategy and audience development You are receiving this email because you signed up for Wirecutter’s Newsletter.
