August may have slipped away in the blink of an eye, but before we kiss the summer season goodbye, it's worth taking a peek back into the carts of the savvy Shop TODAY readers to see what they were stocking up on.
Springing into back-to-school season, readers are hitting the reset button on their routines and buying essentials to get ready for the months ahead. For all corners of the house from the kitchen to the closet, our readers were grabbing cleaning and organizing gadgets, affordable home upgrades and a couple neat hacks to keep produce fresh. Plus, we loved a few bestselling beauty and fashion finds for sprucing up our everyday looks heading into September.
Ahead, we've rounded up everything that made the Shop TODAY readers’ bestsellers list in the final stretch of summer.
Shop TODAY Bestsellers in August 2023
The Gym People Women’s Lightweight Joggers
These joggers are a favorite of one Shop TODAY editor, who says she's worn them everywhere from running errands in NYC to the Grand Canyon. They're one of many products the team tried as part of the Start TODAY x Shop TODAY Wellness Awards, which just launched at the end of last month.
Affresh Coffee Maker Cleaner
When's the last time you cleaned your coffee maker? Over time, daily use can lead to buildup and a dirty cup of java. If you use it every day, it's recommended that you clean your machine once per week, but these pods do all the work for you with a few brew cycles.
BS-MALL Makeup Brush Set
Need a new set of makeup brushes? We love this $10 set that comes with every type of brush you could need, plus a hard-shell carrying case. It's garnered over 30,000 perfect, five-star ratings on Amazon.
Chef’n Garliczoom Garlic Chopper
Mincing garlic has never been so easy — and odor-free. This time-saving gadget does all the work of chopping your garlic for you, and it won't take up much room in your kitchen drawers.
Bluapple Produce Saver 2-Pack
These little blue apples can help extend the life of your produce. Fruits and veggies emit ethylene gas that accelerates ripening, and the ingredients in these produce savers work to help to slow the process. You can throw them in the crisper drawer of your fridge, fruit bowl or anywhere else you keep produce, and the brand says that the packets inside the reusable apples only need to be replaced every three months.
Safer Home Indoor Plug-In Fly Trap
Say goodbye to bugs with this plug-in UV light fly trap, which contains no harmful chemical insecticides. According to the brand, the trap starts working immediately to attract, trap, and kill flies, fruit flies, moths, gnats and more.
ASOKO Under Cabinet Lights
This bestseller makes lighting small, dim spaces like drawers and cabinets easy. Thanks to a seamless at-home installation process and motion sensors, you'll be able to see into every nook and cranny in your kitchen, office, bathroom and more in no time.
Huonul Vanity Mirror with Lights
Shop TODAY readers love a light-up mirror, and this option from Amazon has an adjustable stand and lights that will help you perfect your makeup look every time. It also includes a magnifying mirror, so it's great for tweezing and eyeliner applications, too.
Binboov Hat Rack for Baseball Caps
Hats can be tricky to store and organize, but this affordable system allows you to hang them up in your closet among your other clothes and accessories. Each organizer can fit up to 10 hats or caps, and it comes in a pack of two.
Alyfini Electric Makeup Brush Cleaner Machine
How often should you wash your makeup brushes? The answer might surprise you — every seven to 10 days, the American Academy of Dermatology suggests. While a weekly cleaning might seem like a lot of work, this electric makeup brush cleaner spares you the heavy lifting. Since the gadget doesn’t require batteries or assembly, all you need to do is fill the bowl with water and a drop of your cleanser, press the power button and dip your brushes in to easily and automatically scrub the bristles gently along the textured surface.

FeeraHozer Space Saving Pants Hangers
These hangers can easily fit five pairs of pants each, while taking up a fraction of the space that five standard pants hangers would. Considering how much space this pack of two will save in your closet, they're almost like magic.
