What you lose in sleep, you gain in savings. Put that extra hour to use with some of our favorite workout…
You may lose an hour of sleep this weekend, so you deserve some self-gifts to make up for it. With spring on the way, it’s the perfect time to restart those outdoor workouts and cleaning projects that you (and I) have been putting off. If you want to avoid all the pollen while still getting those sweet, sweet serotonin boosts that only the sun or a song can give, this is a great time to stock up on your favorite games and gadgets. Either way, we’ve got it covered.

Spring Cleaning Deals
Spring is all about new beginnings, so it’s the perfect time to clear out the dust or redo that gallery wall! Don’t forget to check out our guides to the best robot vacuums or the best tools to have at home.
If you’re a pet owner, you know now’s the time that all the extra fluff falls off … right onto your floor. The Eufy X8 is our favorite robot vacuum for pets. It has an incredible amount of suction power to scoop up all that dust, dirt, and dander.
Even better than the last time this was on sale, the Ecovac Deebot Ozmo T8 is one of our favorite options for folks with hardwood floors that need to be mopped and vacuumed regularly. And if you don’t just have hardwood, that’s OK—the Ecovac allows you to customize your floor map to ensure it stays on the right track.
Cleaning can be cathartic, but it’s also quite wasteful with the various paper products and plastic bottles you go through. Supernatural is a great option for more sustainable cleaning with reusable glass bottles and concentrated cleaners for refills. Plus, shipping is waived for orders over $40.
This isn’t the lowest we’ve seen for the Dewalt 20V, but it’s still a solid discount. Whether you’re hanging a gallery wall or setting up shelves, the DeWalt 20V is the best drill for the job.
Fitness and Outdoors Deals
Before the heat of summer sets in, spring is the perfect time to break out your running gear and get a good workout in. Here are some deals to track your performance metrics and wind down afterwards.
If you’re going to put in all that effort to work out, you may as well track your progress. The Fitbit Charge 5 is our top fitness tracker, with a sleek look and tons of sensors. The price drops pretty frequently on the Charge 5, but we still think this is a good opportunity to upgrade your workout.
Not all Garmins are created equal, so we’re here to clue you in—the Garmin Forerunner 45 is the best for runners. The Forerunner 45 uses satellite tracking to precisely track all your distance, pace, and stride lengths. It’s also great in case of emergencies with it’s incident detection feature.
Hydration is key whether you’re on your exercise bike or out on the race track. We recommend plenty of CamelBak bottles, so we trust that the Pivot is a solid option to get your fill after a hard workout. REI notes that the Pivot is discounted 28 percent, but compared to Amazon, it’s only about 23 percent less — which isn’t bad either!
My favorite Peloton instructor is a big stickler for stretching after a workout, but a massage gun can really help you go the extra mile in your wind-down. The Yunmai Slim Elegant has different attachments so you can adjust your massage to your needs, and they’re each covered in silicone, giving it a nice, easy feeling on your skin.
Tablet and Audio Deals
After losing an hour, some people want to open all the windows and turn on some tunes to boost their energy, while others may wanna curl up with a good game and simply vibe. Luckily, we’ve got deals for both!
Apple fans know that iPad sales are few and far between, so it’s always exciting to see a decent drop in price. The 2021 iPad Mini and its USB-C port is the best smol tablet that Apple offers. This is the lowest price we’ve seen since September.
If daylight saving time has you going full-on Evanescence, you may need a sunrise alarm clock to save you from the nothing you’ve become. The Philips SmartSleep Wake-Up Light is our favorite upgrade light and diffuses light naturally throughout your room, giving you a more gentle alarm than your typical iPhone ringtone. This deal is only $5 higher than the lowest price we’ve seen.
Getting geared up to work out takes a lot, so you may as well gear up in style. The Bang & Olufsen Beoplay E8 Sport True are the most stylish workout earbuds we’ve seen. While they were all the way down to $200 earlier this year, they’re still almost 20 percent off, which is a pretty good deal.
Picture this: You’re setting up the perfect picnic in the park, complete with sparkling wine, cheese, and the cutest little portable speaker. It has a luxe price tag, but it’s one of the best portable Bluetooth speakers we’ve ever heard.
It’s a deal, Mario! On Mario Day (Mar10), Nintendo began offering up to 83 percent off of their games. If you’ve been looking to link back up with Yoshi and the gang, you can get Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle, alongside plenty of other Mario-themed games. Check out our favorite Switch games for more.
