Cole Haan End of Season SaleCole Haan End of Season Sale
Store: Cole Haan
Discount: Up to 60% off + extra 30% off via code "SUNSHINE"
Shipping: Free shipping for members
Expiration: July 31

I feel like if your name is Luke, you're morally obligated to wear at least one Cole Haan item at all times — Paul Newman-ness is next to godliness after all. So, Lukes of the world, and other interested parties, your time is now: coupon code "SUNSHINE" takes an extra 30% off hundreds of shoes, bags, and more. Hopefully we don't have a failure to communicate.



6-in-1 Multitool Pen6-in-1 Multitool Pen
Store: Amazon
Price: $5 via clip coupon
Shipping: Free shipping w/ Prime
Lowest By: $5

A ballpoint pen! A stylus pen! A screwdriver (Flat & Phillips)! A bubble level! A 4-scale ruler! All of these functions in one pen-shaped device, and they still can't find a way to market it besides saying "FOR MEN" at least three thousand times. If you put this pen in the hand of a woman, the universe will implode. They're just trying to protect us from the laws of physics. Presumably. (Although as you know, when you presume, you make a pres out of u and me.)



Rubberific 24-Feet Rubber Landscape Edging 6-PackRubberific 24-Feet Rubber Landscape Edging 6-Pack
Store: Lowe's
Price: $52
Shipping: Free shipping
Lowest By: $18

The word on the street is that this Rubberific 24-Feet Rubber Landscape Edging 6-Pack is $70 at Amazon compared to just $52 at Lowe's. It's a considerably lovely low and when asked to provide his own expert analysis, regularly mentioned dealster A. Byrne simply gawked at the product picture, slack jawed. He then went on to point at it and muttered something about power washing it, a presumable reference to the numerous hours he has spent playing PowerWash Simulator. But! This is real life, not a simulation. Snap out of it! Will the sequel's release later this year be his ultimate demise? Time will tell.



PUMA Men's Essentials Padded JacketPUMA Men's Essentials Padded Jacket
Store: Woot! An Amazon Company
Price: $32.99
Shipping: Free shipping w/ Prime
Expiration: July 28

You're unlikely to actually need to wear the PUMA Men's Essentials Padded Jacket now given that we're regretfully right in the middle of the terrible summer months but when Old Man Winter make his glorious return later in the year, Woot's (an Amazon company, lest we forget) present savings will be greatly appreciated. Those savings are of around $30 at a price that's half of what most other merchants are charging. Don't fall for Big Summer's tricks. Sweating bad. Sunburn bad. Meanwhile, winter good. Heating up easier than cooling down. Save us Old Man Winter!



Video Game Flash Deals at WalmartVideo Game Flash Deals at Walmart
Store: Walmart
Discount: Up to 75% off
Shipping: Free shipping w/ $35

Save on consoles, controllers, headsets, and more — all a blessed distraction from reality. Plus, you can get Dragon Age: The Veilguard on PS5 for $12, which is probably bad news for that game, and more broadly Bioware, but good news for you if you were interested. Never has the contrast between almost literally every other video game publisher and Nintendo been more clearly exemplified than putting that against Mario Kart World, which remains steadfast at $77. Mario: six times better than Dragon Age. Probably.
