$40 off/$100

Through its official eufy Amazon storefront, Anker is offering its S350 Security Indoor Cam back down at $99.99 shipped. Normally going for $140 at full price, this is the most repeated deal we’ve seen on this camera over 2025, often coming in once a month. While we have seen it go as low as $80 in the past (once during the most recent Prime Day event), if you missed out three weeks ago, you’re getting the next-best price since mid-July that we have tracked. You’ll be upgrading your interior security with a 29% markdown that cuts $40 off the going rate, landing it at the fourth-lowest overall price.

Review: Anker’s SOLIX EverFrost 2 58L Electric Cooler – a second-generation model with faster dual-zone performance

A grey cooler on gravel next to a tree

As a country girl from Mississippi, I was never much a fan of camping – for one, because that far south, temperatures and humidity were unbearable during certain times of the year, and for another, because we already lived in a rural area so I would always rather enjoy nature near home and return to the comforts of AC when I was exhausted and dehydrating. It wasn’t until I moved northward, now living in NYC for 17 years, that I came to enjoy the disconnect camping – or even just hanging out all day in a park – could afford. Of course, this usually involves filling and refilling a cooler with more and more ice as the hours went on, which is no longer a problem when introducing an electric cooler into the equation. Enter the Anker SOLIX EverFrost 2 58L Electric Cooler with its dual-zone compartments, which I’ve been testing out despite New York’s still-chilly spring weather, but will certainly be a useful companion once the recreational baseball season here picks up later this month, running through summer.
