Deals I personally think are the best
Multiple Strategist staffers already own — and love —Gap’s oversize cotton sweater, and after seeing it on sale for what might be its lowest price ever (it’s even cheaper if you buy it in the Gap app), managing editor Kelsie Schrader and I both decided it was time to buy one for ourselves (we like the brown best). This Zelusweighted vestis the same one I own — mine is a little heavier (not to brag), but eight pounds is a perfect introductory weight, and the price cannot be beat. And seriously, just $1 for a box of classic Crayolas? There are plenty of markers in my house already, but I can’t say no to that deal.
