Can't wait for Prime Day? These are the week's hottest deals you can shop now

Sales are starting to ramp up as we get closer to Amazon Prime Day and Walmart's October Deals Event. You can expect major early Black Friday markdowns during those events, but if your wallet is starting to feel a bit itchy, you can scratch all you like with some of the best deals of the week from Kate Spade, Nectar Mattress, and—of course—Amazon.

Apple products have been wildly discounted over the past few days, like the 2021 9th Generation Apple iPad, which is a whopping 40% off this week (down to just $199). This model is just as powerful as the brand's latest model at a fraction of the price. My 64-year-old mother uses her iPad every single day for checking emails, reading recipes, watching videos, and playing Candy Crush. She loves how large the screen is (it's 10.2 inches, so a little smaller than a paper notebook) and how easy it is to navigate.

This week, we're keeping an eye on fall essentials. We're loading up on fall weather favorites, getting ready for Halloween, and already thinking about holiday gifting (yes, I'm one of those people who gets all her shopping done in October).

Woah, woah, woah — a meat thermometer that costs more than $100? Are you serious?

You bet I'm serious. This is the best meat thermometer on the planet, period. I'm an avid home chef that spends her nights in the kitchen making dinner, bread, and caramel, and this thermometer is the most-used tool in my kitchen (other than my Dutch oven). If you cook at home, you need this thermometer, which is 25% off right now.

There are quite a few mattress brands out there, and while our shopping team is working on testing them out to give you the best recommendation, my personal favorite is the Nectar. I've had this mattress for the past five years and loved every night. It's got a medium-firm feel, so it never feels like I'm sinking too deep or rolling over the edge. Right now, it's down to $649 for a Queen size, and for an extra fee, the company will set up the mattress for you and remove your old mattress in the process.

Waterpik is the king of water flossers. I bought my husband one during a recent Prime Day and he uses it every day. This model is cheaper than others because it doesn't come with a water reservoir. It's small and compact, and at just $37, it's definitely worth a try if you're looking to experiment with water flossing.
