Staud’s Sample Sale Is Excellent, and 36 More Deals I Found This Week
In this article
To my delight, the temperatures in New York continued to drop this week just like last — I’ve been yearning for cooler weather for a while now. Also dropping were the prices on new batches of fall fashion (including a very good Staud sample sale). Even the beauty aisles are gearing up for cold weather with thick winter moisturizers and our beauty columnist Rio Viera-Newton’s go-to hydrating toner pads getting rare discounts. To top it off, the deals team secured a few Strategist-exclusive discounts from some of our favorite brands to sweeten this week’s roundup, so look out for those.
