23 Things on Sale You’ll Actually Want to Buy: From Banana Republic to Bissell
Including our best-selling carpet cleaner (you know the one) and makeup-melting cleansing oil.
You may have noticed some posts from our friends at the Strategist on the Cut. They’ll be dropping in every now and again, sharing their expertise on the basics you don’t have time to research and the weird and wonderful things you don’t yet know you need.
Everything in this end-of-week roundup is on sale and under $100. I found a lot of great deals on women’s apparel and accessories, like Columbia snow boots, $10 rings from Free People, and a fringed cardigan for those who have been listening to “Texas Hold ’Em” on repeat. Nordstrom also has some really cute kids’ clothing on sale right now, so don’t sleep on that. Speaking of stuff for your little ones, Amazon’s “baby deals” event isn’t over until the end of the month, and I spotted plenty of on-sale gear like a white-noise machine and a bottle-drying rack. As always, make sure to sign up for our email newsletter for even more sales coverage — including five extra deals each Friday hand-selected by yours truly.

While this sound machine isn’t specifically designed for babies, it is our top pick to soothe your little one continuously throughout the night. There are six sounds: white noise, thunder, ocean, rain, summer night, and brook.

An impossibly cute baby-bottle drying rack (that you can use for other dishes, too).

And here’s a trio of four-ounce bottles to go with.

Fade hyperpigmentation with this brightening vitamin-C serum (that one Strategist staffer says is a convincing dupe of the $182 SkinCeuticals Phloretin CF).
Banana Republic Hayden Taper Pant
Our best black work pants for women (that come in five other colors) are $43 at checkout. They feel like glorified sweatpants — though you’d never know by looking at them — according to our fashion writer, who owns five pairs.
