Happy Hump Day! At least we're midway through the week, right? To lessen the blow of the rest of the workweek, we could all use a little distraction. Personally, my favorite distraction is online shopping—especially when you spend time hunting for deals. Today, I found a few of our favorite products at great prices on Amazon.
More: The cult-favorite Bose headphones are back down to their lowest price
To make sure these are actually good deals, not only have we tested the products ourselves, but we also use price tracking tools to check if they're actually at their lowest price. That way you get your money's worth. This Wednesday, we found great prices on Apple AirPods, portable chargers, slow cookers, and more.
1. Lowest price: A portable charger to keep the power
Portable chargers are essential for traveling and exploring. For example, I'll be heading to Italy next week and I know my phone will hit the red zone while I'm walking around, taking phones, and trying to figure out where the heck I'm going. So I don't completely get lost abroad, I'll be taking a solid portable charger with me—like this one from Anker. It can deliver more than four charges to an iPhone, has two USB ports, has fast charging capabilities, and is slim and portable, which is perfect for travel. Right now, you can get it for its lowest price.

2. Dish towels for all your drying needs
We could all use a big pack of dish towels—because let's be honest, we don't wash them as much as we should. This pack from Utopia comes with 12 towels, which means you'll always have a clean dish towel on hand. When we tested these dish towels, we found that the thinner cotton made it was easy to dry small and oddly shaped dishes. Although after the first wash found that they shrunk a bit, at less than $1 a towel, they’re cheap enough to throw away after a few uses.

3. Low price: Apple AirPods
Any sale on Apple AirPods is incredible—even if it's just $15. Apple's elite true wireless headphones are usually quite pricey, and $15 off may not seem like a lot, but when it comes to a rare sale on Apple products, we'll take it. Not only are they popular, but Apple AirPods are the best true wireless earphones out there. They are lightweight, connect easily to Apple products, and are completely wireless. Bonus: They sound much better than their wired counterparts and also comes with a simple charging case and impressive battery life.

4. Under $35: Our favorite affordable slow cooker
Slow cooking is possibly the best way to make food in the summer. You just dump in your ingredients and forget about it—so you can actually enjoy your summer instead of manning the stove. Plus, using a slower cooker means you don't have to turn on the oven when it's already so hot outside. Right now, you can get our favorite affordable slow cooker for one of its lowest prices. We love this one from Hamilton Beach because it's at a reasonable price and it comes with a temperature probe, so you know exactly how done your food is.

5. Under $150: One of our favorite affordable soundbars
Let's face it: Our TVs sound isn't as good as it could be. I literally had to turn mine up to 90 last weekend, so I could actually hear the Big Little Lies finale over the sound of my fan. Not ideal. But a soundbar is an easy way to majorly upgrade your TVs sound—and you don't even have to spend too much to do so. Right now, one of our favorite soundbars under $200 is at its lowest price. We liked the JBL Bar Studio because it was the most affordable one we tested and it still sounded pretty good (though not as good as our winner). At just $120 right now, it's our pick if you want to get the job done without any fancy bells or whistles.
Get the JBL Bar Studio 2.0 for $119.95 (Save $30)
