Mondays are pretty brutal in the summer as it is, but the Monday after 4th of July weekend? Absolutely miserable. I know I'm not the only one who's hurting today. In fact, most of us are going to be in a total post-vacation brain haze today whether we like it or not. While it might suck for productivity, it's also a great time to shop for the best deals online (in between Redditing, of course).
More: 5 things you must do to get ready for Amazon's big Prime Day
Here at Reviewed, we're constantly on the prowl for great savings around the internet. We're in an interesting spot this week, since 4th of July is over with and Prime Day—a.k.a the Super Bowl of Amazon savings—doesn't start until July 15. You might think that means that there aren't good deals to shop, but that's not the case at all. Below are some of the most fun deals you'll definitely want to snatch up today while you can.
1. Only $50: Everybody's favorite kitchen appliance
Stop whatever it is you're doing. Don't have an Instant Pot yet, or have a birthday or event coming up and don't know what to buy for a present? Today is the day to finally buy one. Right now, you can grab an Instant Pot Duo60 for only $50 if you shop at Macy's and use the promo code "DEAL" (it's $10 more on Amazon), so you're saving a bundle. There are admittedly fancier Instant Pot models out there, but this is the most popular one for everything from making yogurt to risotto, and at a price like this, you really can't beat it. You should never buy an Instant Pot full price if you can help it, but not every Instant Pot deal is good. This one is, so don't skip it.
2. Under $300: These legendary Bose headphones are on sale—but only for today
I have a deep, dark, terrible confession to make: I still use my Apple earbuds for pretty much everything. I know, I know, it's utterly shameful and I do feel your pity. If you live in the Boston area and commute on the T, there's a decent chance I was that jerk you could hear listening to Iron Maiden at full volume off in the corner. It's not that I don't want to change my ways (believe me, I do), I've just been waiting for the right deal to come along on a set of headphones that would really be worth my while. And you know what? Drop (formerly Massdrop) has finally come through for me, because right now, they're running a rad discount on the Bose QuietComfort 35 Series II headphones that is just too good.
They're some of the best noise-canceling headphones we've ever tested and you can get them for $60 off their usual price, and which matches the lowest price we've ever seen for them. This deal is only good today so don't waste any time if you want a set for yourself. With Drop, you do need to create an account to access the deal, and the estimated ship date on these bad boys is July 29th, so if you're like me, you'll have to get by with your earbuds until then. (Apologies to everyone else within earshot.)

3. Save 20% on our favorite fitness tracker
My fitness goals have kind of gone the way of the dodo this summer (I like cheeseburgers way too much and I regret nothing). Still, I like the idea of being healthy and active, especially in a way that doesn't involve having to add a lot of extra work or stress to my life. That's what's great about fitness trackers, since they can help you track your steps and give you a much-needed nudge when you're being too inactive (especially after too many cheeseburgers). Right now, you can actually get the best fitness tracker we've ever tested, the Fitbit Charge 3 Fitness Activity Tracker, on sale for $30 off its usual price. We've seen this fitness tracker at this sale price before earlier this year, but it never sticks around for long, so this is a really good time to buy it.
Get the Fitbit Charge 3 on Amazon for $119.95 (Save $30)
4. Under $30: A power strip that'll really come in handy
Spending the holiday weekend with my family? Totally awesome. Sleeping and working out of a bedroom with only two outlets in the middle of a massive heat wave? Decidedly not so awesome. I would have literally melted to death this weekend if it wasn't thanks to a power strip, and I was able to use it to charge up my phone, computer, and still keep an air conditioner going in the room, thank God. It's given me a newfound appreciation for their usefulness, and right now you can actually Anker's PowerPort power strip for just $26.49, a savings of nearly $10 off the full list price ($35). Anker is a brand we know and value here at Reviewed, and especially during these sweltering summer months, it just pays to have an extra power strip (or six) around so that you never have to stress about outlet space.

5. Get 40-50% off everything at Shutterfly
Summer is just getting started, and while 4th of July weekend is over, there are still plenty of events worthy of a few snapshots this season. Shutterfly is the best online photo printing service we've ever used, and right now, you can save anywhere from 40 to 50% off everything using the promo code "FIREWORKS" from now through Tuesday, July 9. You can also score unlimited free photo book pages, and if you make a purchase of $39 or more, you can qualify for free shipping with the code "SHIP39." This is definitely a great way to build out your photo collection and cater to your inner shutterbug.
6. Take $30 off this Amazon Echo
Over the weekend, Amazon ran its best deal ever on the Echo, dropping the price from $100 to an astoundingly low $50. It was unprecedented and we were excited as heck to tell you all about it.
Well, I'm here now to break the bad news: that deal is donezo. But you can still save on an Echo and start experiencing all the fun and added convenience that smart tech brings to every day life. Right now, the device is going for just under $70, which is the sale price we usually see it for. This is still a sale worth capitalizing on, since this device isn't marked down very often. If you missed the big discount over the weekend but still want to save on an Echo, don't snooze on this.
Get the Amazon Echo (2nd-gen.) on Amazon for $69.99 (Save $30)
7. Get 40% off dresses and rompers at Urban Outfitters
I basically live in dresses all summer long. It's hands down my favorite part of the season, and right now what's really awesome is that you can snag some great savings on the cutest styles at Urban Outfitters—including this top-rated Mallory Cowl Neck Slip Dress ($29.40) and so on-trend Tiana Eyelet Babydoll Romper ($41.40)—for 40% off. If you absolutely have been meaning to add a few new staples to your summer 2019 wardrobe, this is so the sale to do it.
