As a shopping editor, I spend my days tracking Amazon products that shoppers are actually buying—not just the deals brands want you to see.
This week, a few clear trends emerged: practical outdoor tools, back-to-school essentials (including dorm room must-haves), viral beauty products and clever finds that can save you money in the long run.
From a lawn-leveling rake that's helping homeowners transform their yards to a mosquito repeller I personally tested and now swear by, these are the Amazon deals and trending products generating the most attention right now. I've also included a few editor-approved favorites from the USA TODAY Shopping team, along with a highly anticipated Comic-Con collectible that's already creating excitement among fans.
