A Huge List of Sales: A Banana Lamp and Apple Soap
The sales have been somewhat quiet this week, but the Strategist Slack chat has not. We spent an entire workday discussing the pros and cons of the Big Light, so I thought it only fitting to drop a few on-sale lamps into today’s list for team Small Light.
Many of the other items I found came from hours of scrolling through the sales pages at Nordstrom, Old Navy, Amazon, and more to find the few worth-it deals, like a water flosser for 40 percent off and $10 multipacks of Mrs. Meyer’s hand soap. But one sale you don’t have to dig through is Abercrombie & Fitch’s sitewide sale. Everything is at least25 percent off — though plenty of stuff is half off or more! — and available sizes are aplenty.

Mrs. Meyer’s Hand Soap - Apple
I occasionally see Mrs. Meyer’s soap go on sale outside Prime Day, but rarely do I see several scents at once! I just bought the limited-edition Compassion Flower, which is floral without being too overpowering, but I’m compelled by Oat Blossom and Apple.
