So many sales, it was easier to put them on a web page than try to organize in a Facebook post with no formatting!

If you have your dorm assignment, here’s what I’d be shopping this weekend.

Please note that many deals can be set to expire after a certain number of sales, especially Amazon coupons, so be sure to complete your order quickly if you have must-have’s in your cart!

Mattress Toppers

Our favorite under $100 topper, the Sure2Sleep, is finally on sale. I’ve been emailing with them and begging for a sale, and they agreed to run 10% off from 5/24-5/31 on Twin XL, Full & Queen. We’ve since had a couple of requests asking for Kings as well, so I’ve gone back to ask. Probably won’t get a response until Tuesday since it is a holiday weekend. Sure2Sleep is based in California and all manufacturing is done in the US 🇺🇸 (in Kansas and Texas)l Of course, it is fully CertiPUR-US® certified, and I can guarantee no toxic smells upon opening. It fully expands in about 3-4 hours.

Sleepyhead Mattress toppers have offered our group $90 off any topper using our code PSAMD90. This discount is $10 more than the offer on their website. You can also use the code MD20 to take 20% off any topper if that makes your discount better. Click the link here and use the PSAMD90 code at checkout.

Dorm & College Apartment Deals By Retailer

Walmart Memorial Day Deals

1. Dr. Seuss Oh The Places You’ll Go. In case you’re still looking for a sweet graduation gift.
2. Lap Desk With USB Ports. USB ports, small LED light, storage tray, slots for devices to stand up, even a little fan. Folds down when not in use.

4. Arctic King 3.2 2-Door Mini Fridge. Check your dorm rules to be sure you can bring your own and for any size limitations. I highly recommend 2-door models – they will use the freezer!
5. Charging Nightstand Cart. A very, very similar look and size to the Dormify Sutton charging cart but at about 1/4 of the price. The ratings are low, but our group members have been happy with this purchase. Be sure charging furniture is allowed in your dorm.
6. Ninja 4-Quart Digital Air Fryer. For college apartments or suite-style dorms that allow air fryers.
7. Set of 4 Airtight Containers. BPA-free. 135oz capacity each – large enough for cereal, chips or crackers. Comes with 24 chalk labels and marker.

12. 32″ Roku TV. $88! I have this one in my office. It works great, picture is good, the sound is a little meh, but I put a sound bar on it, and now it sounds great. Keeps me company while I’m building all of these deal lists – streams Spotify through the Roku too! Here is the 43″ version.
13. Roku Streaming Stick. With voice remote. These are great in dorms & college apartments for streaming services paid for at home. We recently cut the cord at home and switched to a streaming service and now have Roku’s on the TV’s that can’t get the apps we need.

5. Triple Laundry Hamper. This is more for apartments and for those who like to sort their dirty laundry (me!). 20% off coupon right now.

11. Levoit 200S Air Purifier. Filters 99.7% of particles. When on WiFi, it can be app-controlled. You may not be able to put it on your dorm WiFi network, but it will be great for off-campus life.

19. 3-Tier Over Toilet Storage Shelves. This price is the lowest I’ve seen after watching it for 2 years. I don’t recommend this for over a mini fridge – you’ll want deeper shelves to maximize storage space, but this is great for a private bathroom where you need more storage.
20. Mobile TV Cart. This one has been hanging in here at this low price + 20% coupon. Don’t think we’ll see it go lower. Includes a shelf for a laptop or gaming device.
21. 6-Pack iPhone Charging Cables. 25% off. I love this set with the 3 sizes and unique colors so you always know which is yours. These are Lightning connectors which work up through iPhone 14. iPhone 15 is USB-C.

9. 7.5″x10″ LED Travel Mirror. 20% off. I bought this for myself and took it on a recent trip. SO great not to have to try to put on makeup in a steam-filled hotel bathroom. Why is hubby always in the shower when it is time to do hair/makeup?! The only downside is that it does not have a magnifying option.

New On Monday:

1. Lightning Deal! 30×20 White Bulletin Board (Cork).
2. Lightning Deal! Clamp TV Mount. On lightning deal plus 10% off promo code right now. Use this to put a small TV (up to 32″) on the foot of your bed. This is a great option for both fully lofted/upper bunk or lower beds.
3. Favorite Portable Phone Charger. 35% off coupon + 15% promo code. Hurry, these will go quickly. Favorite because 10,000mAh (you want at least this many), lightweight, has a USB-C out (most just have in) and the paw print is an indicator of remaining power in the block.
4. Awesome Weekender Bag. 50% off coupon (some colors/sizes). I bought this one recently and love it. So roomy and has that trolley sleeve to go over your rolling suitcase handle. I got the large which I took as a carry on, but I was a little worried it would be too big. I would go with the medium for airplane carry-on use.
5. Sturdy Laundry Hamper With Removable Bag. If you want to be sure your laundry hamper stays upright and easy to fill, this is a great option. Remove the bag with the handles and carry it to the laundry room. Throw the bag right in with the laundry if needed. The frames folds down when not in use or for moving.
6. Sheets Upgrade – 800TC 100% Cotton! You see me recommending the 400TC of these regularly for students, but the 800TC are even more amazing. I have these on our beds at home. Soft and cooling, and the elastic around the bottom is very thick, the sheets don’t move. Not available in Twin XL. OEKO-TEX® certified. They rarely go on deal.
7. Set of 25 Drawer Organizer Bins. A great price for all of these bins to organize your desk or bathroom drawers. Use for schools supplies, makeup, jewelry, etc.
8. Set of 2 Storage Bins With Metal Frames. You can use moving bags to store extra bedding, towels and out of season clothes under your bed, but if you prefer a sturdier option that says upright even when not full, these are perfect for closed storage that stacks and even has a little window to see inside.
9. Need Full XL Sheets? This set is on deal today. Hard to find highly rated OEKO-TEX® certified Full XL sheets.
10. 100% Cotton Fitted Sheet ONLY. This is the 400TC sheet that we recommend in the set, but it is also available in just this fitted sheet. The matching pair of pillowcases is also on deal. For reference, this is the full set with 1 fitted sheet, 1 flat sheet and 1 pillowcase.
11. Bedsure Pair Of Satin Pillowcases. On sale + extra 10% off coupon makes this a crazy deal for TWO pillowcases! OEKO-TEX® certified.
12. Tall Collapsible Clothes Drying Rack. Smaller footprint to fit better in small dorm rooms.
13. Industrial TV Stand For Up to 65″ TV’s. Under $70 with $20 off coupon right now. The all black version is $10 less.
14. Charging End Table/Nightstand With Outlets & USB. Only use as a nightstand next to a regular height bed (not raised). Also a great option next to a couch in an apartment or suite-style dorm.
