The 10 Best Deals of the Week (Including 50% off Trade's Cold Brew Coffee)
As we edge towards August, some of the best food- and cookware-related deals really start to ripen. We're almost entering Summerween, which means this is one of the last periods in which all kinds of colorful, cookout-ready pieces, from cheery Le Creuset pinch bowls to main character energy, farmstand graphic dresses, will be filling the digital sale racks; in no time at all, an influx of pumpkin decor (that we kind of hate-love) will be hitting the shelves of our local T.J. Maxx.
Crank your AC unit, and let's shop.
Le Creuset Factory to Table sale
Attending a brick-and-mortar Le Creuset factory sale is something of a sport, and one that I will happily sit out knowing that I can find deals that are just as good during the heritage French cookware company's Factory to Table sale online. You can expect the usual smorgasbord of Le Creuset classics from this sale, including Dutch ovens, braisers, and cast-iron grills galore, but I've set my eyes on its more niche selection of colorful bowls, herb planters, and the iconic miniature cocottes.
Save $40 off this flight of miniature cocottes

SSENSE's 75% off sale is filled with designer goods
For newcomers to SSENSE, the site is a vast, impeccably curated marketplace for the streetwear- and emerging designer-inclined; think, freaky-beautiful Chopova Lowena necklaces that pay homage to pigs and strawberries, Maison Margiela sneakers, and this bubbly, mouth-blown ashtray that looks like it belongs to Zeus. Unsurprisingly, the site's 75% off sale is filled with huge deals on all kinds of personality-forward food- and drink-related treasures.
Everyone should own (at least) one chalice

Save 15% on Misen's colorful steak knives
Beloved for its professional-grade cookware and kitchen tools, Misen is another brand that we're always keeping (literal) internet tabs on, because it frequently offers flash sales on its wares. Today's find: a set of color-blocking steak knives, which are 15% off with the code NEW15
Get 50% off your first month of Trade Coffee's cold brew subscription
It's prime cold brew season, and Trade Coffee — which specializes in curating subscription coffee boxes with indie roasters from all over the United States — is offering 50% off its cold brew subscription service for the first month. Every two weeks, you'll receive a 2-pound bag of coffee that is ideal for cold brew, and you can cancel any time.
The farmstand graphics are going fast at Lisa Says Gah
As Jess Mayhugh recently reported for Eater, there's finally a name for all those vine-ripe fruit and vegetable-themed fashions that have been brightening up the Union Square farmers market these days. Lisa Says Gah is home to all kinds of food-centric apparel that masters the trend, and some of its dreamiest, farmers market-worthy pieces are on sale — but hop to it fast, because these pieces usually sell out faster than ramps.

Michael Jackson's dirty stage sock sells for nearly $9K at French auction
A dirty white sock once worn by the King of Pop has moonwalked its way back into the spotlight. The rhinestone-covered sock, worn by Michael Jackson during a 1997 show in the city of Nîmes, sold Wednesday for €7,688 — about $8,911 — at an auction house in southern France. The off-white stained sock, originally white and studded with crystal rhinestones, was discovered by a technician backstage after Jackson's HIStory World Tour performance. The sock was then preserved in a frame for 28 years, according to a French auctioneer.

Iviore France 'It really is an exceptional object — even a cult one for Michael Jackson fans,' auctioneer Aurore Illy told AFP. The sock was worn during Jackson's tour, which hit 35 countries and included 82 shows. Footage from it shows him performing 'Billie Jean' in the sparkling footwear. Advertisement Auctioneers had estimated the item to be between €3,000 and €4,000, but it nearly doubled expectations. Though Jackson's legacy remains controversial due to longstanding child molestation allegations — which he and his estate denied — the market for his memorabilia continues to thrive.

Peacock originally wanted a boy dog, but after seeing one female pup, she couldn't resist getting her, she told Newsweek via email. Now, she has Harvey and Coco, who are from the same litter. These two 7-year-old dogs are sweet-natured; however, they tend to get into mischief. "Harvey is the leader and thinks he is much bigger than he is, but they are very sweet and gentle and love to make friends," Peacock said. Otherwise, they enjoy cuddle sessions and their quiet time. They have been nothing but great company for Peacock, who lives alone, making her laugh every day, she said. Photos of Daisy, a 1-year-old rottsky dog, resting at home.

The owner, Jamie High, told Newsweek that Pierre is nearing 1 year old. And as a pup, he is constantly getting into something. He can be a "handful," but that's what makes Pierre, Pierre. "He helped me through a very tough time in my life, and I'm grateful every day," High said. "I wouldn't change a thing about him!"

Vaughn Plummer: Entertainment Visionary, Tour Strategist, and Future Owner of The Zeus Network
LOS ANGELES, CA – 2025 | In an evolving media and entertainment landscape where ownership, innovation, and culture intersect, Vaughn Plummer has emerged as one of the industry's most forward-thinking and influential figures. A multifaceted entrepreneur, content executive, and tour strategist, Plummer's impact stretches across music, digital streaming, and reality television. Currently the tour manager for global hip-hop superstar NBA YoungBoy and a 20% equity partner in The Zeus Network, Plummer is executing an aggressive and strategic plan to take full ownership of the Zeus platform by 2026. With a commanding net worth estimated at $14 million, Vaughn Plummer is not only building legacy—he's redefining the blueprint for modern Black leadership in entertainment. Plummer's ascension in the entertainment industry didn't begin in the boardroom—it began in the trenches of music production and live event execution. At just 17 years old, he began cutting his teeth in video production with industry platforms such as Lyrical Lemonade, capturing visual content for rising artists and street-driven brands. Over time, Vaughn expanded into artist development and branding, working closely with major names like Cardi B, G Herbo, Polo G, Lil Baby, Coi Leray, and DDG, among others. His ability to blend storytelling with strategy soon caught the attention of major labels, leading to a partnership with Atlantic Records, where he specialized in artist rollout campaigns, digital marketing, and long-term brand building. In 2024, Vaughn made a major industry leap when he was tapped as tour manager for NBA YoungBoy's 'Mase' Tour, overseeing one of the most high-stakes hip-hop tours of the decade. His role encompassed: Nationwide tour logistics and routing Venue coordination, stage design, and production management Real-time crisis and risk management across cities Team leadership for talent, security, and technical crew Content capture and fan engagement through digital platforms In early 2025, Vaughn Plummer formally acquired a 20% equity stake in The Zeus Network, an independent, subscription-based streaming platform founded in 2018 by his relative, Lemuel 'Lemmy' Plummer. The Zeus Network has become one of the fastest-growing entertainment brands in the digital content space, known for its unapologetic, influencer-led reality television formats including: Baddies East, Baddies West, Baddies ATL Joseline's Cabaret The Real Blac Chyna Crazy in Love with Blueface and Chrisean Rock with Blueface and Chrisean Rock Bad Boys Texas and Deja Vu Lemuel 'Lemmy' Plummer, founder and CEO of The Zeus Network, is a celebrated television producer whose credits include BET's The Next Big Thing and Preachers of L.A. His current estimated net worth of $50 million reflects his role as a visionary in Black-owned media. With Vaughn as a relative and trusted business partner, the transition of power is both strategic and familial. In alignment with long-term planning and executive vision, Vaughn has initiated a structured buyout and leadership transition plan, with the intent to fully acquire The Zeus Network and assume the CEO role by Q3 of 2026. With diversified income across music, media, touring, and digital content, Vaughn Plummer's net worth has grown to $14 million as of mid-2025. Key revenue drivers include: Zeus Network equity and production profits Tour management and performance-based contracts Marketing and media consulting across the music and influencer industries Executive producing branded video and commercial content Plummer's takeover vision for Zeus is centered on three pillars: content, ownership, and expansion. Under his full leadership by 2026, the platform is projected to undergo: Content diversification into scripted series, investigative documentaries, and global unscripted formats Creator-first contracts, offering influencers revenue-sharing and intellectual property rights International rollout with regional Zeus hubs across Africa, the Caribbean, and Europe Tech innovation, including direct-to-consumer merchandising, live-streamed events, and interactive voting Brand partnerships, targeting beverage, fashion, and tech brands aligned with Zeus's demographic Vaughn Plummer represents a new generation of entertainment leadership—multifaceted, culturally fluent, operationally disciplined, and ownership-minded. From managing the chaos of national tours to sitting at the table with major networks, Plummer is bridging the gap between culture and capital. As he prepares to take full control of The Zeus Network by 2026, Vaughn isn't just chasing a seat at the table—he's building the table. And with his net worth, experience, and vision, there's little doubt he'll redefine what it means to own content, culture, and the future of digital entertainment. TIME BUSINESS NEWS
