Perks and Rec: The best sales on all things spring

Good afternoon, reader, and happy Taylor Swift album release day to all who celebrate. While you’re listening to the album (and the surprise double album, of course), scroll the best deals our experts have sniffed out to shop this weekend. 

Lowe’s Springfest is happening now, with tons of savings on everything you need to enjoy the season. Shop patio furniture, gardening supplies, grill essentials and more while they’re marked down.  

At Bando’s Plant Power sale you can snag up to 40% off things to help you reduce, reuse and recycle, like cloth napkins, reusable bags and travel mugs. There are also plenty of warm-weather styles included in this sale, from swimsuits to dresses. 

One last thing: the best mineral sunscreen we’ve tested is on sale today, as is our favorite affordable self tanner. Grab one (or both!), then head outside for some newsletter-writer-appointed sunshine time. 

Have a great weekend,
