On & Hoka Running Shoes at Woot
Up to 59% offI suggest to Woot (an Amazon company, lest we forget) that they spin off their shoe deals into their own section, like they do with T-shirt deals. They could call the section "Shoot". For Americans, this would amusingly call to mind the word you use when you don't want to swear in front of children or particularly puritanical adults. For me, it would remind me of the soccer magazine "Shoot" I used to read as a very young child, of which I remember practically nothing, except that it was the competing publication to "Match", which was read by my older brother, and thus became an important and early instance of incredibly pointless and timid sibling rivalry. Do not worry: while I later realized I don't care about soccer, you will always care about savings on On and Hoka shoes.
Top Coat Deal
32 Degrees Men's Hooded Sherpa-Lined Jacket
$20 via code "NEWSFLEECE"Don't get me wrong — I'm excited for jacket weather. Cooling down in the summer is a chore, an effort to become only slightly less uncomfortable, while bundling up in the winter is a delight. And I'm excited that the promo code "NEWSFLEECE" takes a full $10 off the price here, which is a pretty significant discount on a $30 jacket. But mostly, I'm excited imagining us applying this promo code naming structure the next time we're listing a discount on a radio instead of a fleece, because we could get Dave Foley in. Which would both be fun for us, and presumably a not unwelcome influx of work for him.

Amazon Early Prime Big Deal Days Automotive Deals
Up to 80% offExcitingly, Amazon Prime Big Deal Days is pluralized this time around, so when October 7 and 8 roll around in a week's time, we can talk about it without seeming grammatically incoherent. But before then, you can get incoherent about various automotive discounts, like jump starters, detailing kits, wiper blades, bulbs, and such. Once you attain peak incoherence, you'll know you're ready for Prime Big Deal Days. But we won't, on account of the gibberish you're spewing.
Top Tool Deal
Milwaukee M18 18V 5.0-Ah Lithium-Ion XC Battery Pack
Free w/ tool purchaseNormally in a power tool deal, myself or my equally inept colleague N. Gosker would cover for our shameful lack of wisdom on the subject by acknowledging that the brand "DeWalt" fits neatly into the cadence of the Dire Straits masterpiece "The Walk of Life". And thus, for years, our loving readers have done DeWalt of Life. Now, however, we hit an unusual roadblock: what the H can you fit "Milwaukee" into? "Milwaukee in Memphis" by Marc Cohn? It's a terrible, almost insulting attempt, and so I'll obviously run with it forever. Or, rather, Milwauk with it. You may ignore all of this and relish picking up this battery for free with a drill kit or an impact driver, just as long as you don't mistakenly remember the Cher version of the song while you're doing it. That's illegal.
Top Gift Card Deal
Gift Cards at Sam's Club
Up to 25% off for membersIt's now sufficiently close to Christmas that stores are starting to jump the gun on Halloween — still a full calendar month away — by putting out decorations and candy emblazoned with snow and Santa and such. That means it's the perfect time to start thinking about which people in your life you struggle to buy gifts for, and might get a gift card instead, and then get to work browsing this Sam's Club sale for a good candidate. Nothing says "Merry Christmas, I love you deeply and enduringly" like the promise of a $50 spend at Johnny Cash's Kitchen and Saloon.
