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.
Everything in this end-of-week roundup is on sale and under $100. I found a lot of great deals on women’s apparel and accessories, like Columbia snow boots, $10 rings from Free People, and a fringed cardigan for those who have been listening to “Texas Hold ’Em” on repeat. Nordstrom also has some really cute kids’ clothing on sale right now, so don’t sleep on that. Speaking of stuff for your little ones, Amazon’s “baby deals” event isn’t over until the end of the month, and I spotted plenty of on-sale gear like a white-noise machine and a bottle-drying rack. As always, make sure to sign up for our email newsletter for even more sales coverage — including five extra deals each Friday hand-selected by yours truly.

In more shoes-on-sale news, these heavy-duty (but not too clunky) snow boots are half off.
Bissell Little Green Carpet and Upholstery Cleaner
It’s been a while since we’ve seen this Strategist best seller on sale and under $100. You’ll get our best portable steam cleaner, three cleaning tools, and a spot treatment — all with a one-year warranty.
LUCID 3 Inch Lavender Infused Memory Foam Mattress Topper - Queen
Lucid makes some of our favorite inexpensive mattress toppers. This one features three-inch-thick memory foam that has a ventilated design for increased breathability.
Homedics White-Noise Sound Machine
While this sound machine isn’t specifically designed for babies, it is our top pick to soothe your little one continuously throughout the night. There are six sounds: white noise, thunder, ocean, rain, summer night, and brook.
Boon Lawn Countertop Bottle Drying Rack Bundle
An impossibly cute baby-bottle drying rack (that you can use for other dishes, too).
Boon NURSH Silicone Pouch Bottles - 4 Oz.
And here’s a trio of four-ounce bottles to go with.
Jenga Giant - Medium
This outdoor version of Jenga — that stacks to over four feet tall — is a must-have for when spring hits. Or play it indoors on a carpeted floor for hours of fun.
Amazon Fire 7 Kids Tablet - 32 GB

If you’re counting down the days until spring break, here’s a suitcase you’ll easily spot on the luggage carousel (but won’t feel so bad when the baggage handlers throw it around).

Use the code CELEBRATE to take up to 30 percent off at SkinStore. To banish blackheads, begin by applying Rio’s favorite BHA serum …
DHC Deep Cleansing Oil
… and follow that up with this non-irritating cleansing oil that gently dislodges all makeup, dead skin cells, and debris.
BeautyStat Universal C Skin Refiner
Fade hyperpigmentation with this brightening vitamin-C serum (that one Strategist staffer says is a convincing dupe of the $182 SkinCeuticals Phloretin CF).
Banana Republic Hayden Taper Pant
Our best black work pants for women (that come in five other colors) are $43 at checkout. They feel like glorified sweatpants — though you’d never know by looking at them — according to our fashion writer, who owns five pairs.
$90 at Banana Republic Factory

Free People’s sale section is a little lacking in the apparel department, but I did find some nice accessories — like these cushy socks that are 45 percent off.

This $10 ring still has all birthstones in stock, but don’t dillydally.
