Happy October! It's finally getting chilly enough to wear a sweater and I for one am thrilled. This is always my favorite month of the year, and as it so happens, it's also a great time to shop for deals. From cooking essentials to cute new footwear, you can shop and save a ton of money right now—provided you know where to look.

More: The 5 best Amazon deals you can get this Tuesday

Here at Reviewed, we're constantly scouring the internet for those deals that you really don't want to miss. Every day, we round up the top five best sales going on and give you all the big detail so you can get a jumpstart on saving. To kickstart this fun-filled month, we've rounded up these five deals that really are too good to skip.

1. Shop and save at Barnes and Noble

If you're a bookworm, chances are your to-be-read pile is already massive enough as it is. But just like any book lover, you probably also love the idea of adding to your own personal library collection. This sale happening at Barnes and Noble is the perfect excuse to stock up on your favorite classics and cross a few you haven't read yet off your bucket list. From now until Tuesday, October 22, when you buy one paperback classic, you can get a second for 50% off. This deal is also a great opportunity to grab stocking stuffers for the upcoming holiday season.

2. Get up to 30% off orders at Madewell

I'm obsessed with Madewell. Even though I've had some bad experiences with returning items (I purchased a pair of jeans over the summer that had clearly been used and ran into some hassles), I still think their denim is amazing and fits like nothing else out there. I even love Madewell more than anything Levi's puts out, including 501s and Wedgie Fit jeans. The thing about Madewell is that they almost never run sales, which means when they finally do, it feels like an event. Right now, you can save one everything—denim, their bestselling Zip-Top Transport Tote, the works—thanks to the promo code YOUCHOOSE. If you get more than $100, you can take an extra 20% off your order. For orders over $200, you can get 30% off. For fall fashions, this sale is a must-shop, so be sure to hit it up now while it still lasts.

3. Shoe sale alert: You can get huge savings at Macy's right now

Want cute fashion? Hit up the Madewell sale. Want a really good pair of shoes, and need to shop on a budget that'll work for the whole family? Go to Macy's. Especially right now, since the Great Shoe Sale is happening from until Monday, October 14. During this ridiculously good sale, you can qualify for some crazy discounts: 30% off when you buy one pair of shoes and 40% off when you buy two. Just type in the promo code GREAT and you're good to go. Pro tip? Grab these Sam Edelman booties while you can (I'm partial to the leopard), and maybe grab these Mark Fisher Retire Booties in Snake Multi, since prints are so on-trend right now.

4. Big deal: Lumens is doing their semi-annual sale

Ready to give up those cheap light fixtures and floor lamps you grabbed at a department store years back and create a more upscale vibe in your home? Lumens Light and Living is the place to go. Everything is so chic there, and for a limited time, you can actually get up to 50% off select pendants, furniture, wall lights, and more because they're running a semi-annual sale. If you've never shopped them before, believe me, you won't regret it—especially if you hit up this sale to start.

5. Get 20% off one of our favorite meat thermometers

I know it's October, but there's still plenty of time to grill (especially if it's your favorite way to cook steaks, chicken, hot dogs, you name it). Today is the last day you can grab one of the best meat thermometers we've ever tested on sale for 20% off if you get it in red or blue, so you're saving about $20 compared to what this meat thermometer usually goes for. It's a terrific value and a must-have for any grill lover.
