I combed through thousands of Amazon deals to find the only ones worth shopping
This weekend marks a soul-enlivening pivot point in the yearly calendar: the beginning of Daylight Savings Time. Sure, Saturday-night barflies may not appreciate seeing 2 a.m. suddenly turn to 3 a.m., but most of the rest of us are pretty jazzed at that extra hour of evening sunlight. It's almost as exciting as shopping a sale that'll save you up to 80% ... oh, wait, you can do just that — if you know where to find the best Amazon deals, that is.
Top Amazon deals
Apple 2022 MacBook Air for $699 (was $999): All-time low
Yeti Roadie 24 Cooler for $200 (was $250): All-time low
Black+Decker Dustbuster for $45 (was $56): Lower than Black Friday

Cozsinoor Bed Pillows, Queen, 2-Pack for $25 (was $120): All-time low; nearly 80% off
It may not be quite time to consign your brrr-weather wardrobe and linens to the closet but, thanks to the weekend's best Amazon deals, you can get ready for that glorious day with a set of durable storage bags for a ridonculous $16. Surely nothing puts you in the mood for balmy days like marked-down tinted mineral SPF and Kyle Richards-approved sunglasses. And hey, it's not too soon to start gearing up for that camping trip or seaside idyll — why not grab this portable power station while you can save an electrifying $300?
All that and an Apple MacBook Air, which just dropped to a new all-time low price. So, yeah, feel free to sleep a bit late this week while your circadian rhythms adjust to the longer days ... just don't sleep on these deals.
P.S. Before we jump into the Amazon deals, I need to make you aware of an insane Disney+ and Hulu bundle bargain that just dropped:

Amazon Deals of the Day: Rock Out With a New Low on Amazon's Fire TV Soundbar Plus Ahead of Prime Day
Amazon sells a wide array of products, with new ones arriving across categories, including home essentials, tech gear and wellness items daily. As much as the retail giant loves adding new products, Amazon also loves cutting prices. But deciding which deals are worth grabbing (and which aren't) is a full-time job -- our job, specifically. That's why we scope out the top deals for you. Today, we spotted the Amazon Fire TV Soundbar Plus down to a record-low price ahead of the upcoming Prime Day sale event. We also found record lows on the Bluetti Solar Generator AC300 and one of our favorite open earbuds. A great TV makes a huge difference in your home entertainment space but a great soundbar to go with it takes your experience to a new level. A nice option, especially if you have a Fire TV, is the Amazon Fire TV Soundbar Plus. It comes with a built-in subwoofer to help you get that crisp base. It also has a 3.1-channel audio with Dolby Atmos and DTS:X, which gives you a 3D audio experience with pretty high sound quality. When you plug in the subwoofer, it'll automatically connect to the soundbar so there's no extra set up steps. It also features different modes like Movie, Music, Sports and Night to cater your audio experience as best as possible depending on what you're watching. It normally goes for $249 but Amazon has dropped it to a new low price today of $175. That's a $75 savings just ahead of Prime Day sales. If you're going on any camping trips or live in an area with spotty electricity, a portable power station is a must. One great option is the Bluetti Solar Generator AC300. It has a powerful 300W AC input, along with a 3,000W AC+ solar input. It charges pretty quickly too, getting up to 80% in just 45 minutes. It's made with aluminum protective casing, a cooling fan and an internal wireless design so it's super sturdy and safe. It also comes with a B300K expansion battery to prolong the lifespan of the power station even more. This power station has 16 ports, enough for all your devices and more. One cool feature is aside from the AC outlets, wireless charging pad, USB-A and C ports and car ports, it also comes with a NEMA TT-30 and a 30A RV port. This is to cover your needs in an RV trip. The Bluetti Solar Generator AC300 with expansion battery is normally a whopping $2,499 but it's now down to a record low of $1,399 which saves you a sizeable $1,100. A solid alternative to more traditional earbuds with silicone ear tips are open ear clip-on earbuds. One of our favorite affordable options is the Baseus Bowie MC1 Pro open ear clip-on earbuds. And now they just got even cheaper. We love them because they have a comfortable and secure fit, great for all-day wear. The battery life is pretty good, too, with up to 9 hours when you listen at moderate volume levels. It has decent sound as well, especially for the price. They have a physical control button on each bud for controlling playback and adjusting volume levels so you don't have to dig for your phone if you need to adjust something. They also come with an IP57 certification, which means the buds are splash-proof and dust-proof, perfect for your summer adventures. These earbuds are usually $90. But when you clip the on-page coupon, you can get them for $70, back to a record low. With so many deals on Amazon, deciding which ones are worth your money can be difficult. But CNET's combed through what the world's largest online retailer has to offer and gathered the best deals for you to peruse.

Greenpeace joins anti-Bezos protest with Venice banner complaining about billionaire tax breaks
ROME -- Greenpeace on Monday joined the smattering of protests in Venice against the upcoming wedding of Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez. A half-dozen protesters unfurled a giant banner early Monday in St. Mark's Square reading: 'IF YOU CAN RENT VENICE FOR YOUR WEDDING YOU CAN PAY MORE TAX.' Local police quickly folded it up and took it away. The demonstration followed other anti-Bezos initiatives last week including a banner draped from the San Giorgio bell tower, one from the lagoon city's famous Rialto Bridge and posters plastered up around town complaining about the upcoming wedding and the effects of overtourism on Venice. The 'No Space for Bezos' movement — a play on words also referring to the bride's recent space flight — has united a dozen Venetian organizations including housing advocates, anti-cruise ship campaigners and university groups. Activists argue the wedding exemplifies broader failures in municipal governance, particularly the prioritization of tourism over resident needs. Greenpeace said it teamed with the British group 'Everyone Hates Elon,' which has smashed Teslas to protest Elon Musk, for Monday's banner. Greenpeace said it wanted to draw attention to the comparitively low taxes many billionaires pay while allegedly exacerbating the climate crisis with environmentally unsustainable lifestyles. Italian and Venetian officials have strongly criticized the protests and welcomed the Bezos-Sanchez nuptials, which are scheduled for later this week. Over the weekend, as the protests continued to make headlines in Italy, a Venetian environmental research association, Corila, said Bezos' Earth Fund was supporting its work with an 'important donation.' Corila, which unites university scholars and Italy's main national research council in researching Venetian protection strategies, wouldn't say how much Bezos was donating but noted contacts began in April, well before the protests started.

Amazon's Premium Beauty Push May Be a Buffer Against Trump's Tariffs
Amazon's defense against tariffs for its coming Prime Day? Luxury goods. President Donald Trump's tariffs have spurred some Amazon sellers who source products from China and other heavily tariffed countries to bow out of the company's Prime Day, one of its biggest sales events of the year, to protect their margins. Amazon Prime Day is now a four-day shopping event exclusively for Amazon Prime members, taking place this year from July 8 to July 11. The Seattle-based e-commerce company is hoping that recent sales growth in high-margin cosmetics in its Amazon Premium Beauty category will cushion the impact of tariffs on Prime Day sales revenue and consumer sentiment. 'Beauty has become, in the past few years, more of an essential item in consumers' minds,' even in hard financial times, said Anna Mayo, vice president of NielsenIQ's Beauty Vertical unit. Amazon Premium Beauty was initially shunned by luxury cosmetic players who feared the platform would harm their image when it was launched in 2013. But those days are gone. Now, the online retailer is promoting products from top beauty and haircare brands including Estée Lauder's Clinique, Olaplex and L'Oréal's Urban Decay. During last year's Prime Day event, US shoppers spent $14.2 billion, up 11 percent year on year, according to Adobe Analytics. Top cosmetics brands can charge high prices and often do not offer steep discounts on Prime Day compared with electronics, apparel and home goods. This year, Adobe Analytics expects beauty product discounts to have 'milder' discounts of 10 to 17 percent, whereas electronics deals are expected to range from 14 to 22 percent off, said Vivek Pandya, lead analyst at Adobe Digital Insights. That, coupled with the ease of shipping small packages of most products, means that Amazon Premium Beauty merchandise has higher margins than other products sold on Prime Day. Amazon 'doesn't make a huge margin in most of the categories of stuff that it sells online,' said Renee Parker, co-founder of consultancy firm Invinci and a former Amazon executive. 'They are making a lot of money on premium beauty products because ... [they're] small and expensive, and you can ship a ton of them.' Vitamins and supplements are successful for similar reasons. Amazon Premium Beauty sales gathered steam after the e-commerce giant began clamping down on counterfeits and top beauty companies needed new ways to reach customers, said Alfonso Emanuele de Leon, a beauty industry veteran and partner at FA Hong Kong Consultancy. Amazon was previously viewed as a pariah by luxury beauty brands because of the cheap merchandise on the website, but is no longer perceived that way, said Emanuele de Leon. 'Huge Acceleration' Sales at Amazon Premium Beauty rose by nearly 20 percent to $15 billion between April 2024 and April 2025, outpacing the 14 percent growth for beauty products outside the specialised e-commerce store, according to NielsenIQ. It also outpaced the year-over-year growth of 5% for online store sales in the first quarter, NielsenIQ said. L'Oréal chief executive Nicolas Hieronimus said during the company's annual meeting in April that having products on Amazon led to a 'huge acceleration' in expanding its US market share. Estée Lauder has launched 11 brands on Amazon's US site since March 2024. More than 75 percent of Estée's finished goods sold in the US originate from the US or Canada and are therefore protected by existing trade agreements, Roberto Canevari, Estée Lauder's global supply chain executive vice president, said at a conference in June. Lauren Gordon, vice president of Amazon at Estée Lauder, said that Prime Day and Amazon's other 'high-traffic shopping moments' give the company a chance to 'attract both new and existing customers.' Melis del Rey, general manager for health and beauty for Amazon US stores, said her team has been 'very proactive' in working with premium brands to determine tariff impacts. 'At a high level, most of the premium brands' sourcing strategies are local, and therefore, the [tariff] impact is less imminent,' del Rey said. Amazon Premium Beauty is an invite-only program for brands shipped and sold by Amazon and third-party sellers. The department has grown to more than 10,000 products, and brands' eligibility is determined on a case-by-case basis. Brands like Dyson and Estée Lauder's Aveda pay an extra 15 percent commission to Amazon for every website sale, and the third-party seller approach allows major brands to control pricing and inventory. Adding prestige brands including Unilever's Dermalogica has helped the company compete with beauty retailers Ulta Beauty and Sephora, which is owned by LVMH, and also attract older, higher-income shoppers at a time when TikTok Shop is scooping up younger customers. By Arriana McLymore; Editors: Nick Zieminski and Matthew Lewis Learn more: How Amazon Fits Into the New Beauty Playbook The mega e-commerce player is set to become the biggest beauty retailer in the US, but its complexity and inflexibility is a turn-off for many brands with premium positioning. If they don't bite the bullet, the losses will add up.
