The 5 Best Amazon Deals This Weekend, Per an Editor

When it comes to shopping deals, I’m guilty of buying things I don’t need just because they’re discounted. More recently, I’ve been trying to do the opposite by searching for discounts on items I could actually benefit from, whether it’ll replace something in my current wardrobe or be useful in a few months. That was my goal when hunting for this weekend’s top Amazon deals, and I’m glad to say I was successful — and the best part is that these discounted goodies will probably prove useful for you, too.

Soothfeel High-Waisted Joggers With Zipper Pockets

Amazon



I don’t want to say I’ve become anti-denim, but I am definitely pro-comfy pants. If I’m planning to be out of the house for a long time, like let’s say a day at the office, I just can’t deal with wearing jeans for over eight hours. That’s why I’ve been on the hunt for what I’ve deemed “jogger slacks” — AKA, polished joggers that look like I’m trying, but in reality I’m just seeking comfort. This sleek pair from Soothfeel will do the trick, with shoppers raving that they’re flattering, passable for workwear, and even “better” than “more expensive” options. They have a high-rise fit with a wide, drawstring-free waistband, zippered pockets, and a tapered leg.

Amazon



When it comes to bodysuits, Pumiey is taking over the influencer world right now. The brand’s bodysuits are being deemed a “cheaper alternative” to Skims and going viral for their sculpting fit and buttery-soft feel.

As a professional shopper (seriously — shop for a living;cpos:2;pos:1;elm:context_link;itc:0″ class=”link “I literally online shop for a living), I’m on Amazon at least 10 times a day and that’s no exaggeration. From sourcing the newest need-to-know deals to checking out the latest releases, I would say I’m very familiar with the mega-retailer and always have at least a few things lingering in my online cart.

And since I can somehow never have too many articles of clothing, most of those items tend to fall into the apparel or accessories category. Ranging from viral, of-the-moment must-haves to high-quality basics, keep scrolling to see the new Amazon fashion finds that I’m most excited about this month — all retailing for $70 or less.

These days, everyone seems to be obsessed with SKIMS’ form-fitting tops. This long-sleeve shirt gives me total SKIMS vibes and is less than $10, so it’s definitely coming home with me. Shop it in over 15 colors, including this gray hue, shown above, which is my personal fave.

Flare leggings (aka “yoga pants” for my ’90s babies) are back and this pair has a flattering crossover waistband. Available in sizes XS-XXL, I plan on wearing these leggings to pilates class and when hanging on my couch.

I can’t rationalize buying the popular platform UGGS for $150 (besides the fact that they’re always out of stock), so these platform mules are the next best thing. These slides are covered in genuine suede, have a faux fur lining and are water-resistant.

Amazon expects summer windfall on higher fees and Prime Day shopping

Amazon.com on Thursday (Jul 28) said it expects a jump in third-quarter revenue, as the retailer collects bigger fees from Prime loyalty subscriptions and as a fuel surcharge on merchants helps it manage high delivery costs.

Shares of the e-commerce company rose 11 per cent in trading after the bell.

Amazon, like much of the retailer industry, is facing a reckoning. Major rival Walmart Inc this week warned it would make much less this year than it once expected. US consumer confidence has tumbled to a recent low, and some are sticking to lower-priced essentials to manage inflation.

That has not stopped Amazon. The online retailer projected net sales between US$125 billion and US$130 billion for the summer period, while analysts were expecting US$126.42 billion, according to IBES data from Refinitiv.

Chief Executive Andy Jassy said in a press release that the company is “seeing revenue accelerate as we continue to make Prime even better for members, both investing in faster shipping speeds, and adding unique benefits such as free delivery from Grubhub for a year.”

A boost is expected from Amazon’s marketing blitz Prime Day, which took place in July. Amazon said it was the biggest rendition of the event by unit sales.

Still, the rosier-than-expected sales outlook comes at a precarious moment for the Seattle-based retailer. A changing of the guard has heralded the departure of Consumer CEO Dave Clark and corporate affairs head Jay Carney, as well as two of the company‘s most senior Black executives. A period of record profit gave way in the first quarter of 2022 to Amazon’s first quarterly loss in seven years.

Ultimately, Amazon lost US$2 billion in the just-ended second quarter, including a pre-taxe valuation loss of US$3.9 billion from its investment in Rivian Automotive Inc. But the company beat

Amazon’s emissions increased dramatically last year despite carbon neutrality goal

Despite the company’s commitment to decrease its carbon footprint, Amazon’s emissions grew by 18 percent last year, according to the annual sustainability report it released today. While online shopping increased during the pandemic’s second year, the company also rapidly expanded its number of warehousing operations — faster than consumer demand could support. For the entirety of 2021, the company’s activities emitted the equivalent of more than 71.54 million metric tons of carbon dioxide (for comparison, that’s one and a half times the amount the U.S. government emitted in 2019.)

But this figure is undoubtedly a drastic undercount. While Amazon does include carbon-footprint” data-ylk=”slk:emissions” class=”link “emissions from its warehouses and logistics network, as Reveal amazon-drastically-undercounts-its-carbon-footprint/” data-ylk=”slk:reported” class=”link “reported this year, the company employs a sort of loophole. While other retailers, like Walmart and Target, account for pollution related to any goods they sell, Amazon only counts carbon emissions for Amazon-branded products, which make up around one percent of total sales. Third-party sellers (that is, the entities responsible for the other 99 percent of what’s sold through its online marketplace) are left to perform their own carbon emissions accounting independently — regardless of whether those sales are fulfilled through Amazon’s warehousing or not. Many of these businesses, however, likely do not meet the minimum threshold for mandatory emissions reporting

Environmental experts have long voiced concerns over the immense climate toll of Amazon’s operations, especially its rush and two-day shipping options. Despite the lack of progress, Amazon’s goal of reaching net-zero carbon emissions by 2040 was noted in the report.

3 Reasons Amazon Is the Best Retailer for Buying in Bulk

When you think of buying in bulk, Costco, BJ’s and Sam’s Club probably come to mind. But savvy shoppers know that pallets full of outsized merchandise are waiting for shipment in Amazon warehouses, too — and you might do better there than with the wholesale clubs that built their brands on big.

Find Out: 7 Things You Should Never Do When Planning For Retirement

“If you’re looking to buy in bulk, Amazon is your best bet,” said Jamie Knight, CEO of Data Source Hub, a market intelligence and data trends provider. “Amazon’s pricing is usually better than that of other warehouse clubs — and it’s not just a matter of price. The company has an incredible selection, and its reputation for reliability means that it can deliver your goods faster if you order in bulk.”

There are several things to consider, and you’ll save money only if you milk Amazon for all it has to offer. amazon-shopping-3-reasons-to-buy-in-bulk/?utm_campaign=1176121&utm_source=yahoo.com&utm_content=4&utm_medium=rss” data-ylk=”slk:Here’s what you need to know.” class=”link “Here’s what you need to know.

Convenience and the Hidden Costs of In-Store Shopping

Costco and the others offer delivery, but they’ve had to adapt to try to keep up — and it shows in the quality of their shipping services. Amazon, on the other hand, built its brand on free two-day shipping.

“I would recommend bulk shopping through Amazon because the prices are usually about the same and the convenience outweighs the cost if there’s a small price difference,” said Joellyn Travis, founder of the Facebook shopping group Leave it on the Porch, which is a partner of Amazon, QVC and Zulily.

Amazon says carbon emissions rose 18% in 2021 as Covid drove upsurge

Amazon’s carbon emissions jumped 18% last year, as the company reckoned with a pandemic-driven surge in e-commerce and grew its business to meet that extra demand.

In its annual sustainability report issued Monday, Amazon said its activities emitted the equivalent of 71.54 million metric tons of carbon dioxide in 2021. That’s up 18% from 2020, and an increase of nearly 40% from 2019, the year Amazon first began disclosing its carbon footprint.

Amazon lowered its carbon intensity, which measures emissions per dollar of sales, by 1.9% in 2021, compared with a 16% decline in 2020.

The Covid-19 pandemic led to a massive influx of orders at Amazon and other e-commerce companies. Many consumers, flush with stimulus check money, opted to do their shopping online to avoid risking exposure to the virus.

That wave of demand pushed Amazon to expand its logistics network of delivery vans, planes and trucks. It also rapidly opened new warehouses to process the stream of orders. During the year ended 2021, Amazon doubled the size of the fulfillment network it had built over the previous 25 years, the company said.

The company also added more data centers to support Amazon Web Services, as the pandemic sped up corporations’ shift to the cloud.

Amazon unveiled its “Climate Pledge” in 2019. As part of the plan, the e-commerce giant has committed to be carbon neutral by 2040, and it purchased 100,000 electric delivery vans from Rivian Automotive that it expects to have on the road in the U.S. by 2030. It also launched a $2 billion venture capital fund to invest in new climate technologies, partly so that they
