August is an interesting time. (Adrianna Brach, editorial director of Shop TODAY, likes to refer to it as "The Sunday of months.") It feels like that final stretch to enjoy summer leisure, but it's also a time to prepare a return to our usual routines with school coming back into session and many of us returning to the office for the first time in two years.
And that transitional feel of August right before the hectic fall season was definitely top-of-mind for Shop TODAY readers. Last month, we saw special interest in products to help get organized at home and fall fashion essentials. As well as great hacks to save money and simplify busy lives in the kitchen, laundry room and beyond.
Keep scrolling to see everything that made the Shop TODAY readers' bestsellers list last month.
