Walmart Black Friday Deals seen on the 3rd hour of TODAY
Experts say we should replace pillows every two to three years, as they collet dust, sweat and dead skin cells. If you can’t remember the last time you swapped yours out, score this two-pack for a whopping 85% off right now! Post tested these herself and loves that the down-alternative fill is soft and fluffy, while still feeling supportive enough for back, side and stomach sleepers. Not to mention, the brand says the fill even resists clumping, and the side gussets help them keep their shape. Whether you want your bedroom to feel like a luxe hotel or you’re getting the guest room holiday-ready, this machine-washable pick is a no-brainer.
The bathroom counter and shower can easily get cluttered (especially with guests), but this six-piece shower caddy set is an affordable fix. You get three stainless steel shelves, two soap holders and even a toothbrush holder that keep shampoos, shaving creams and razors organized. Post owns them and loves that that there’s no drilling required — just stick the super-strong adhesive panel to the wall and hang the shelves! Plus, the brand says that they are rustproof and hold up to 40 pounds, so you can use them anywhere you need extra storage.
If you needed a sign to upgrade or replace your pots and pans, this is it. The 18-piece set comes in several stylish neutral colors, and truly has everything you need for less than 60 bucks — which Post notes comes out to about $3 per item! The brand says they’re made from durable die-cast aluminum and granite coating, with a wooden handle that stays cool during use. I [Witonsky] tested a bunch of nonstick pans for our Shop TODAY Ranked series, and Carote was one of the contenders that came out on top!
You don’t want to be unprepared when winter weather hits, so score 51% off this super warm puffer coat (available in sizes up to 4X) before the first snow! From the warm insulation to the faux-fur lined hood, it’ll keep you super cozy all winter long. Post also loves that the hood and trim are removable, so you can style it multiple ways.
Don’t think that Post forgot about the guys! With a full zip, snaps, ribbed cuffs and plenty of pockets, this coat (available in sizes up to 5X) is perfect for rain, snow and wind — especially since the brand says both styles are waterproof.
What happens when you combine the versatility of classic Crocs with the coziness of a fuzzy slipper? You get these un-fur-gettable clogs! The unisex style comes in four fashionable colors, and Post says she hasn’t wanted to take them off her feet since she got them. From the sink-in footbed that keeps you comfy to the rubber sole that allows you to wear them indoors and out, they’ll make the perfect present for anyone on your list.
Earbuds for less than 10 bucks? Sign us up. This sporty pick is super lightweight, and Post loves the soft silicone wraparound design that helps keep them in place when you’re walking, running or working out. JLab says they’re also sweat and splash-resistant, and you get over 32 hours of playtime with the charging case. Whether you’re buying them as stocking suffers or grabbing an extra pair for holiday travel, they’ll make a great gift for yourself or someone special.
