Perks and Rec: Be prepared for severe weather with these deals

June marks the start of hurricane season, in conjunction with wildfire season. If you live in a region affected by severe weather in the summer, this is your sign to get prepared now. 

A lot of the things we recommend for emergency preparedness are on sale today, including our favorite first aid kit, a spacious cooler, a handy flashlight and a highly-rated portable generator. If you want to be prepared without having to gather everything yourself, our best overall emergency kit is on sale, too. 

Once you’re done preparing for the future, treat current-you to something fun. Bando’s $5/$10/$15/$20 sale is happening now, so grab a little something colorful to brighten up your day. 

Happy shopping,
