You’ll find dorm décor on sale at Target, an under-$100 mattress topper to make any bed instantly comfier, and our favorite black work pants for nearly 60 percent off. And for all your leisure needs, everything at Outdoor Voices is 30 percent off with the code SUMMER30.
Our best black work pants for women are $38 at checkout. Strategist writer Ambar Pardilla owns five pairs, and she appreciates that they feel like glorified sweatpants, even though you’d never know by looking at them.

This plush mattress topper was the only under-$100 option to make our best-in-class list, and now, it’s even cheaper. It has five density zones that support your body and provide extra pressure relief.
Some unsexy basics are on sale at Amazon, like this megapack of storage bags …
… and lots of deodorants, like this clinical-strength one from Dove that I purchased a few weeks ago on recommendation from our story here.
