When you see a Staff Pick deal, you know someone at Castle DealNews has declared it a particularly noteworthy bargain. So allow us to quickly highlight some of the... um... highlights. (Of what are already highlights. It recurs.)
Pro Deal Tip: There's many more Staff Pick deals beyond the ones we've highlighted here. Keep scrollin' to see them all.
Dickies Men's Boxer Briefs 4-PackStore: Amazon
Price: $9.98
Shipping: Free shipping w/ Prime
Lowest By: $10
We all need underwear. All except me, the humble Staff Picks Skeleton. Need? Most certainly not but want? Maybe. Maybe just to fit in amongst my fleshy colleagues. Maybe just as a fashion statement. Or maybe merely because a good deal is hard to resist, regardless of its usefulness. For you though, the human flesh man, this is both a good deal and useful because it's the best price we could find by $10.
Belvedere Men's Calico Leather Lace-Up SneakersStore: Men's Wearhouse
Price: $29.99
Shipping: Free shipping for members
Lowest By: $100
These shoes are significantly less Belve-dear than usual, by a margin of exactly 100 dollars. Which means you could buy four pairs at this price and still have $10 to spare compared to buying just one pair at their regular price. Calico? More like Cali-low. Price. Do you see?
Vinyl Record Deals at Barnes & NobleStore: Barnes & Noble
Price: $50 for 3
Shipping: Free shipping w/ $50
Over 150 records are on sale for just $20, and if you buy three of them, the price drops to $50 — a $10 savings. At that point, the question isn't whether you buy the Barnes & Noble exclusive printing of Aqua's Aquarium, but instead, will you stop at just three? Sure, you could go with Aquarium, and then go with Joni Mitchell's Hejira and Fleetwood Mac's Tusk, or Hans Zimmer's Driving Miss Daisy soundtrack and Simon and Garfunkel's soundtrack to The Graduate. But if one Barbie Girl is catchy, three are a full-blown epidemic that's hard to resist.
Mikolo 660-lbs. Foldable Adjustable Weight Bench w/ Squat RackStore: Walmart
Price: $99
Shipping: Free shipping
Lowest By: $300
Weight lifting! It's good for some but as the humble Staff Picks Skeleton, I wouldn't dare step foot near one. Lack of muscles, you see. How am I even moving my fingers to type this then? Every skeleton must have their secrets. But! The Mikolo 660-lbs. Foldable Adjustable Weight Bench for $300 off is no secret at all, nor should it be. It has J-hooks and reverse flies and many other things a mere lowly skeleton could never understand.
LEGO Advent Calendar Deals at AmazonStore: Amazon
Discount: Up to 29% off
Shipping: Free shipping w/ Prime
Either these advent calendars are extremely early to market, or they come with, like, 100 days to open. They could have special boxes for Halloween and Thanksgiving. It'd be like The Oregon Trail of advent calendars — entire wagons of participants taken out by dysentery and starvation by the time we reach Christmas. A daringly bleak take on the holiday season. But I think they're just early to market. But you do have time, and the potential savings, to buy three calendars, and start one on October 7, one on November 3, and one on December 1, and celebrate all three holidays equally. But this would be the work of a lunatic. But then, so would buying a $1,000 LEGO Death Star, and people are presumably already excited to do that.
Labubus at TargetStore: Target
Price: $39
Shipping: Free shipping
I, the Staff Picks Skeleton, don't understands labubus, but I'm probably not supposed to — I'm a pile of bones that used to be a man rapidly approaching middle age. It'd be like King Tut trying to comprehend the Nintendo Switch — it'd be weirder if he wasn't confused and scared by it. All I really need to know is that prices can really skyrocket on these gimmicks, which makes the $40-ish prices Target is offering all the more noteworthy. Hence: I note it. Worthily. Wordily? Word.
