Trending Now on Amazon

$3.97

Up 560%. Five hundred and sixty percent. America discovered that air fryer baskets are annoying to clean, and Reynolds had the solution ready. This is the kind of market timing I aspire to in my investment portfolio.

$9.99

Swedish dish cloths are having a moment. They replace 17 rolls of paper towels, they're compostable, and they come in cute patterns. My daughter picked the bumble bee ones. I have no regrets.

$8.49

I used parchment paper for years like a caveman. These silicone mats last forever, nothing sticks, and you feel responsible about the environment for approximately 30 seconds before ordering more stuff on Amazon.

$12.99

Every March, millions of Americans convince themselves this is the year they'll grow their own food. By July they'll have three cherry tomatoes and a $200 garden bed. I say this as someone who has done exactly this.

$23.49

The eternal companion to the cherry tomato seeds above. You plant the tomatoes in March, neglect them in April, then Roundup the weeds in May. The circle of suburban life.

$9.99

If you bought the cherry tomato seeds, you'll need these by June. Fruit flies appear out of thin air the moment a tomato reaches the counter. These traps actually work. Ask me how I know.

$13.98

The cheat code for people who want to feel like gardeners without actually learning anything about gardening. Pour blue liquid on plant, plant grows. Engineering-brained people love this.

$89.99

AirPods at $89 are always trending because someone, somewhere, just lost their left AirPod. The replacement cycle for these things is a perpetual motion machine. Tim Cook figured out the subscription model before anyone else.

$24.99

Every hotel TV should come with one of these pre-installed. At $25, it's an impulse buy that actually delivers value. I have three of them. One for each TV I shouldn't have bought.

$79.99

I put one in my daughter's backpack, one in my luggage, one on my keys, and one on the beach wagon that cost me $126. If you have kids, a car, or a tendency to lose things, these pay for themselves in a week.

$499

An M2 Mac Mini for $499 renewed is genuinely excellent. I do Salesforce development on one of these. It handles everything I throw at it, and I didn't have to sell a kidney. The M2 chip is still absurdly fast for 99% of workflows.

$1,299

A $1,299 MacBook Pro that was $1,999 twelve months ago. Renewed Apple products come with the same one-year warranty. The only downside is you can't humble-brag about buying the latest model. A sacrifice I'm willing to make.
