A NOTE FROM THE EDITOR
By mid-August, we've all been tempted by enough summer sales. So this week, we're looking beyond the biggest markdowns and more on what’s actually worth your money. I asked our writers and editors to share the products they own that have earned their keep. — Caitlyn Martyn, Commerce Editor
Shop favorites that last beyond Labor Day, like coolers built for tailgates, camping trips and years of weekends away.
Stock your kitchen with cookware made to last, including the cast-iron skillet our editors reach for again and again.
Be ready when the power goes out with reliable flashlights, generators and tools worth keeping on hand.

3 ITEMS WE RECOMMEND
Here are three items our team owns, uses and recommends.
"This cotton-cashmere-blend sweater gives the perfect fall look without being too heavy. I love the loose sleeves, the lightweight feel and, of course, the color." — Kelsey Ramirez, Production/Updates Editor
"Layla’s Kapok pillow is firm but not too firm, and I don’t wake up with a sore neck. It’s adjustable, too." — Jenny Op’t Holt, VP of Commerce Partnerships
