Friday Sales: Patagonia and a New MacBook Air

I love a sale-on-sale, and I found a few really good ones. Anthropologie is offering an extra 40 percent off sale items through the end of the weekend, while Bergdorf Goodman is slashing prices by an additional 20 percent. In both cases, I think your best bet lies in the kitchen and home-décor categories — I found some very chic dishes and glassware for over 65 percent off!

Now that we’re just over a week into August, back-to-school sales are cropping up all over the place. I’ve started collecting all the deals in my back-to-school deals post, but I’ve also included some standouts in this week’s huge list of sales — including our best overall bed pillow and rarely on-sale Apple products. (And I’d be remiss not to point out that the Strategist Dorm 100 was just unveiled yesterday, for college shoppers.)

As for other deals, my fellow Strategist staffers have been eyeing some good ones this week. Writer Katherine Gillespie has pulled her favorites from Patagonia’s end-of-season sale, and beauty writer Tembe Denton-Hurst has put together a cheat sheet to Dermstore’s Anniversary Sale. —Sam Daly, deals editor
