It’s currently down to only $125 as part of an Amazon Lightning Deal.
Amazon
Bentgo’s lunch boxes bring meal prep to the next level. This five-compartment option for kids is leak proof and available in a variety of fun colors and prints. Down to $20, this is a solid deal that won’t last long.
Amazon
The Levoit Classic 300S Humidifer clears dry air quickly, quietly, and effectively. It’s also easy to clean. It rarely drops below its $80 retail price, so this drop to $64 is an excellent deal. Act fast though, this Lightning Deal won’t last long.
Amazon
While we haven’t tested this lick bowl, which is meant to slow your dog down during mealtime, we like Mighty Paw’s lick pad. The current price matches the best we’ve seen for this bowl.
Amazon
Death Wish Coffee is for those with a very high tolerance for caffeine. Don’t take the name lightly! We’ve seen the price for a pound of beans closer to $12.50, but this is still a good deal on the expensive coffee.
Amazon
Some vitamin C serums can cost over $100, but this one has rave reviews for the way it works on fine lines, wrinkles, dark spots, and sun spots. The 1-ounce bottle often sells for about $18, so you’re getting twice as much for an extra $20.

We found sleeping on the Dream Series felt like resting on a giant soft pillow. Meant for in-home use, it’s the top pick in our air mattress guide for when you have guests over. This air bed usually sells for about $150, so you’ll save around $30 during this lightning deal.
Amazon
Of course Barbie has her own PJ. The Dreamplane playset includes the plane, snack cart, and puppy so Barbie and her pals can travel in style. The set’s price has dipped this low before, but it’s usually closer to $60.

Made of beeswax, these wraps are great for covering bowls, storing cheese, and keeping all sorts of other food fresh. They’re reusable, making them more sustainable than single-use plastic. This set comes with three sizes: 7 by 8 inches, 10 by 11 inches, and 13 by 14 inches. This lightning deal is the lowest price we’ve seen on this trio.
Amazon
If your nose is prone to blackheads, individual patches might not work for clearing them up. This pack from Mighty Patch has the same hydrocolloid formula, but in 10 large patches to fit your nose. Consistently priced at $18, the pack’s lightning deal saves you 20%.
Amazon
YnM’s weighted blanket has several layers to keep you warm but not overheat. While this is a blanket we technically don’t recommend in our guide because of its beanbag feel, weighted blankets can be a personal choice, and one of our reviewers liked it a lot. We typically see this size blanket for around $50, so this Prime deal is saving you a few bucks. If you want a similarly priced 15-pound blanket, the Luna is also on sale for the event.
Amazon
Cocoa butter is known for providing long-lasting hydration. Palmer’s formula contains antioxidant-rich vitamin E and moisturizes for up to 24 hours. Typically priced at around $16 for this three-pack, it’s now on sale for closer to $12.

While we haven’t tested this version of the popular Bentgo lunch box, we like that it comes in many colors, has multiple compartments to keep food separate, and is leakproof. There’s a removable divider, and the Pop holds more food than the regular kids’ size. It typically sells for about $30, so the current Prime deal is for about $6 off.
Amazon
An obvious choice for Android users, the Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 is sleek and useful. We wish that the ECG feature wasn’t only for Samsung phone owners, though. During this Prime event lightning deal, it’s 39% off, one of the best prices we’ve seen.
