The weekend's best sales: $30 off an Ember smart mug, 30% off Columbia boots and more

Think the recent cold snap was just a fluke? Don’t fool yourself. Though Florida may not see snow again anytime soon, the rest of us can count on months of frigid weather ahead. Luckily, you can score major deals on a wide variety of winter-weather essentials this weekend.

When the temperature plummets, there's nothing like a warm beverage to take the edge off. Whether for coffee or tea, now's the time to splurge on an Ember smart mug while it's $30 off. More than 12,000 Amazon shoppers have given it a perfect five-star rating, and our gadget guru Rick Broida is also a fan. And for those still nursing sore backs and shoulders from shoveling this week's snow, it's time to invest in an electric shovel. This Walmart bestseller is down to just $90 — from $300! — so don't miss out.

Coats, space heaters and Dutch ovens for soul-warming stews are all on sale this weekend too. Keep scrolling to snag those deals and more while you can.
