Carbon monoxide: it's been labelled the "Silent Killer". The "Tasteless Terror". "The Gas From Hell That Doesn't Smell". Whatever you call it (probably just "carbon monoxide", really), you'll want early warning if it's around, and this Staff Pick detector alarm provides just that. And we're alerting you that it's at its best-ever price. It features an LED-backlit digital display and 85-decibel alarm. (It can be powered via outlet, or two AA batteries, which aren't included).

Stocking up on flashlights means you don't have to rely on your phone's light in an emergency, meaning your phone's battery will last a little longer. This Staff Pick flashlight pack ships from China, so give it up to three weeks to arrive. But once it does, you'll have three flashlights that feature adjustable focus, and can be stood upright to function as lamps.

Look, it's called an essential for a reason.

At 43 cents per roll, this is a Staff Pick-worthy savings on these 231-sheet double rolls.
