You may have noticed some posts from our friends at the Strategist on the Cut. They’ll be dropping in every now and again, sharing their expertise on the basics you don’t have time to research and the weird and wonderful things you don’t yet know you need.
It’s a big weekend for sitewide sales. Madewell, Everlane, Gap, and Levi’s all launched theirs this week (Banana Republic is launching one tomorrow), as did Brooklinen and the Company Store. Primary’s sitewide sale is still live too. I’ve perused them all and picked out my favorite deals from each below. There are excellent stand-alone discounts across the internet this weekend too, including discounted rain boots and umbrellas perfect for forthcoming April showers, some of our favorite sheets and alarm clocks (it’s Sleep Awareness Week, apparently), and some of our favorite kids’ toys.
As always, make sure to sign up for the Strategist Sales Alert newsletter to receive each day’s best deals in your inbox (as well as sales just for newsletter subscribers). And if you want even more, sign up for our regular email newsletter for tons more newsletter exclusives.

Earlier this week, I rounded up some of my favorite pieces at Madewell’s Insider Sale, where everything is at least 25 percent off, but I took another spin today and found some more things I like, including striped pull-on pants (’tis the season) and a couple nice pairs of shoes. Remember that you’ll need to become an insider (if you’re not already) to take advantage of the full discount.

I also rounded up the best jeans on sale this week, which included this wide-leg version of the Goldilocks of jeans, the Levi’s Ribcage. (And if this style’s not for you, everything is 30 percent off at Levi’s right now.)

Gap’s having a sitewide sale, too, with 40 percent off everything. If you go with anything, make it the oversized cotton sweater that at least four Strategist staffers own. But if you’re looking for slightly more spring-forward styles, this cotton cardigan looks promising. It comes in lots of solid colors if the spring-toned stripes aren’t you’re thing.

Per beauty writer Tembe Denton-Hurst, this is the best body acne spray you can buy. Its salicylic acid formulation helps to unclog the pores and eliminate dead skin cells to leave skin looking clear, and it’s especially great post-workout.

These sheets have won the praise of sleep experts, interior designers, and other Strategist editors for their temperature-regulating abilities for sweaty sleepers. Strategist lead editor Lauren Levy also says they’re “so cozy and so soft” and have “an immediately worn-in feel that only gets softer over time and with each wash.” They’re on sale as part of Brooklinen’s sitewide Friends and Family sale.

After buying this unassuming little sponge caddy, Strategist kitchen writer Emma Wartzman couldn’t help but gush that it “made me happier than anything else I’ve added to cart recently.” I’ve since bought one too, and I can confidently say that if you’re looking for an out-of-sight, out-of-mind solution to any gross sponge woes, this is the answer.

It’s Sleep Awareness Week — organized by the National Sleep Foundation — and several sales have followed suit. If you don’t need new bedding, take advantage of the sleep gear discounts, like 20 percent off the alarm clock that convinced several Strategist staffers to break up with their phone alarms. It wakes you up using gentler tones and soft, sunrise-esque light.

If you’re in the market for a little kids’ toy, this is your absolute best bet right now. It’s the more involved version of the also-excellent Melissa & Doug ice cream counter my four-year-old has been playing with for the past two years, and grabbing it for nearly half-price is uncommon and very much worth taking advantage of.
