So the big day is coming, and you’re getting ready to head off to college. It’s the perfect time to scoop up some deals on smart home gear and appliances. For example, you’ll want to check out some of the best Instant Pot deals for easy cooking or Keurig deals and Nespresso deals for morning brews. Let’s not forget refrigerator deals either, because you’ll want a place to store food and cold beverages.

Of course, some of those refrigerators are way too big to bring to your campus dorm or apartment. You’re in luck because Best Buy has a Frigidaire 4.5-cubic-feet Mini Fridge with Top Freezer on sale right now, for $50 off the normal price. You can snatch it up for $250 with free shipping to select locations.

Tucked neatly inside the Frigidaire Mini Fridge is plenty of space to store and organize food, snacks, and beverages. In the door, you’ll find three shelves with built-in attachments to organize and move them around as you see fit. In the main compartment are two straight shelves with options to adjust their height. There’s also a freezer box at the top of the fridge to store ice and other frozen goods.

The exterior is silver stainless steel, matching almost any modern decor or theme. It also feels great to touch, although you’d probably look a little weird if you were discovered in your dorm rubbing your mini-fridge vigorously. The door is reversible, so you can move it to either the left or right side of the fridge, which is perfect if you need an alternate configuration to match your living space. It has a freestanding design, along with adjustable front feet. In total, it holds up to 4.5 cubic feet of goods, and the door bins are gallon-sized to hold full-size milk jugs. Don’t try chugging that milk under any circumstances, though.

Normally $300, Best Buy is offering the Frigidaire 4.5-cubic-feet Mini Fridge with Top Freezer for $250, which is $50 off. You also get free shipping in select locations or free in-store pickup if there’s a Best Buy near you with the fridge in stock. Hurry — we’re not sure how long this deal is going to last.

Cigar Lounge Spotlight: Española Cigar Bar & Lounge in Miami Beach
cigar lounge

I was at Española Cigar Bar & Lounge in Miami Beach earlier this year when the idea for this weekly spotlight first came to mind. I was in town to interview Floyd Mayweather Jr. at a yacht party that turned out to be as bombastic as the 15-time world champion himself. The trip kicked off with dinner at Claudie for a taste of the French Riviera. I was whisked into the restaurant’s private dining room, where guests included a slew of GNC executives, former NBA players, and Oscar winner Cuba Gooding Jr.

After five or so Old Fashioneds, three of us decided to keep the night going, and we were all in the mood for stogies, which is always a great idea during one of Miami’s muggy nights. Española Cigar Bar & Lounge was the place to be, and if you’ve ever walked Española Way on a Friday night, you understand why.

Feeling stuck or behind? Here are the five days you need to schedule every month
HIker standing in the sunrise

It feels like every single month, when the calendar turns over (figuratively speaking, unless you still have a physical calendar), there is no way it is already the first of a new month. It can feel like you are stuck in the middle of a grind, that you are behind on everything, and no matter how hard you try, you can’t catch up. Or even move forward. That can weigh on you. Just like a new year creates new motivations, new planning, and new goals, you can break the months into smaller scales.

Your monthly calendar (and even further, going to the week) should reflect the things you want to accomplish. And, if you are feeling stuck, unmotivated, or like you are falling behind, here are five non-negotiable days you should set up every single month to set you up for climbing out of your funk.

On the anniversary of “Dr. No,” here is every EON Bond movie ranked
James Bond at a casino

International James Bond Day is here, and we have been putting all our time and focus into honoring our favorite double-0 with multiple launches, a watch and a book, his best looks, and a ranking of the men who have portrayed 007 across the last sixty years. Today, on the anniversary of Dr. No (the first mission to hit the theaters), we look back at all 25 films under the EON banner (no parodies or spin-offs here) and give you our definitive ranking of every 007 adventure. Some will surprise you, some will not. But all of these are a good time.

Apart from the fact that he wears the same clothes that I wear, he and I really have little in common. I do rather envy him his blondes and his efficiency, but I can’t say I much like the chap. – Ian Fleming
