Pro Deal Tip: There's many more Staff Pick deals beyond the ones we've highlighted here. Keep scrollin' to see them all.
DEATHLOOP for PC (Epic Games)Store: Epic Games Store
Price: Free
Lowest By: $50
Expiration: June 12
The very first achievement I received in DEATHLOOP was for attempting to enter "0451" at the first keypad I encountered. If you know why that's extremely good, you also know why any game by pre-Redfall Arkane is worth your time. If none of this made any sense to you, it's still a free game — what, you're too good for free games now? Pfft. Know this: DEATHLOOP has a famously good and strong kicking mechanic, which makes up for some of the ways this time-bendy adventure doesn't quite measure up to Arkane's previous heights in the Dishonored series or Prey.
Under Armour Outlet SaleStore: Under Armour
Discount: Extra 40% off + extra 10% off via codes "EXTRA40" & "EXTRA10"
Shipping: Free shipping w/ $50
Expiration: June 9
Stacking coupon codes are great, especially when they're deeply, savagely self-explanatory. Want the extra 40% off? "EXTRA40". Want an extra 10% off on top of that? "EXTRA10". None of this "Speak FRIEND and enter" stuff they have going on in Middle Earth and at Macy's. Just good solid language use. And I guess the discounts are also good.
Craftsman Screwdriver w/ 6 Multi-BitsStore: Lowe's
Price: $4.98
Shipping: Pickup, or free shipping w/ $35
Lowest By: $5
Whoever decided to call the gimmicks that you fit into screwdrivers "bits" had to know what they were doing. CAn you take any advertising seriously that promotes their tool having "six interchangeable bits"? It sounds either like a Lyle Lanley-esque huckster trying to pretend they know how some hardware works, or a review of most episodes of SNL. But six interchangeable bits there are, including two nutdrivers. We need to do better with names, hardware gang.
Men's Suits Friends and Family Deals at Macy'sStore: Macy's
Discount: Up to 80% off + extra 30% off via code "FRIEND"
Shipping: Free shipping w/ $25
Expiration: June 10
This Macy's suit sale — also known as "How to Type FRIEND and Influence Prices" — is a great way to save an extra 30% on brands like Calvin Klein, Michael Kors, Tommy Hilfiger, and more. But more than that, browsing the sale is a good way to act out that recurring nightmare you have of being at an important party, but no one will make eye contact with you for reasons unknown.
Woot Debut DealsStore: Woot! An Amazon Company
Discount: Up to 72% off + extra 10% off $20 via code "DEBUTTEN"
Shipping: Free shipping w/ Prime
Expiration: June 7
You may think that, since the sale is named "Debut Deals", and the coupon takes 10% off, that the coupon code "DEBUTTEN" is made up of the words "Debut" and "ten". But we've been around this deals game long enough to know the truth. So: consider that higher prices are, to use the deal vernacular, butt. Thus, it follows that this coupon, which lowers prices, is conducting what can only be referred to as a "debuttening". And so you see what we contend to be the real origin of the coupon. Whether you believe us or not is irrelevant: it still yields the same discount. But only one explanation contains many uses of the word "butt".
259-Piece Magnet SetStore: Amazon
Price: $7.99
Shipping: Free shipping w/ Prime
Lowest By: $1
There's never been a safer time to buy over 200 magnets at once, since this pack is now at its best-ever price. But that doesn't mean they're safe in all circumstances, as we'll see. Which of the cautions below appear on this item's Amazon page?
