If your morning is as slow-moving as you predicted it would be, cheer yourself up with the thought of ice cream. Free ice cream. Today is our favorite holiday of the year, Ben & Jerry's Free Cone Day! This "greatest-ever deal," as well as all-time lows on Wrangler jeans and PC components, are in today's list of five Editors' Choice deals that we found overnight and early this morning.

Top Apparel Deal

Wrangler Men's Loose Fit Jeans
Store: Amazon
Price: $9.60 with free shipping for Prime members (or $5.48 s&h)
Lowest by: $27
Do You Need It?: We like to encourage our deal-slingers to opt for those bargain bin beauties in almost all cases, but there are some essentials that are worth parting with extra bucks for big brand names. Jeans are one of those items. Luckily however, Amazon has discounted this pair of Wrangler pants to an astonishingly low price, so you can bag high-quality without breaking the bank. They're available in sizes from 30x32 to 42x32.
If you haven't done so already, you can sign up for Amazon's fashion newsletter to receive an extra 20% off coupon via email. That will additionally cut these pants to just $7.68.

Top Deal for PC

PC Components and Peripherals Sale

Discount: Up to 50% off
Shipping: Free shipping via Prime; otherwise, it starts at $8.41

Do You Need It?: Refurbishing your computer can be a costly effort, but this Amazon sale, and its many low price tags, caught our eye as a budget-busting way to save on an upgrade. Prices start from just $4.89, making it one of the best sales we've seen on these items in recent months. Two items of particular interest are the Intel Haswell Core i5-4670k 3.4GHz Quad-Core CPU(pictured) for $189.99 (a $40 low) and the ASUS Dual Band N900 802.11n Wireless 4-Port Gigabit Router for $99.99 (a $30 low).

Do You Need It?: If you're a frequent victim of flat tires, then this very cheap and very cheerful foot pump will make a worthwhile bargain. It's dropped $4 in just three weeks to an all-time low and, what's more, is less than three times cheaper than a shipped unit at any other store. It features a universal valve adapter.

Top Appliance Deal

NutriBullet 12-Piece Superfood Nutrition Extractor and Blender Set
Store: Sears
Price: $99.99 with $41 in SYWR points with free shipping

This high-speed blender and mixer system includes a 24-oz. pitcher with power base, two 18-oz. cups with lids, an extractor blade, and milling blade.

Dear Reader,

About a year ago, I happened upon this statement about the Monitor in the Harvard Business Review – under the charming heading of “do things that don’t interest you”:

“Many things that end up” being meaningful, writes social scientist Joseph Grenny, “have come from conference workshops, articles, or online videos that began as a chore and ended with an insight. My work in Kenya, for example, was heavily influenced by a Christian Science Monitor article I had forced myself to read 10 years earlier. Sometimes, we call things ‘boring’ simply because they lie outside the box we are currently in.”

If you were to come up with a punchline to a joke about the Monitor, that would probably be it. We’re seen as being global, fair, insightful, and perhaps a bit too earnest. We’re the bran muffin of journalism.

But you know what? We change lives. And I’m going to argue that we change lives precisely because we force open that too-small box that most human beings think they live in.

The Monitor is a peculiar little publication that’s hard for the world to figure out. We’re run by a church, but we’re not only for church members and we’re not about converting people. We’re known as being fair even as the world becomes as polarized as at any time since the newspaper’s founding in 1908.

We have a mission beyond circulation, we want to bridge divides. We’re about kicking down the door of thought everywhere and saying, “You are bigger and more capable than you realize. And we can prove it.”

If you’re looking for bran muffin journalism, you can subscribe to the Monitor for $15. You’ll get the Monitor Weekly magazine, the Monitor Daily email, and unlimited access to CSMonitor.com.
