$20 OFF EARTH MINDED 50-GALLON GRAY RAIN BARREL FROM ACE HARDWARE

Why we love this deal: Much more than a rain barrel, this $100 deal from Ace Hardware saves money on water bills by using an included diverter kit to water a lawn or garden. Flip the lid and get even greener by planting herbs or flowers on top. Order online to save $20, but note that due to shipping restrictions this barrel requires in-store pickup.

Why we love this deal: For $300 (plus free shipping), this deal from Dick's is the perfect excuse to leave the car in the garage, save on gas, and work some inches off the waistline.

$80 FOR REMINGTON 18-INCH REEL PUSH MOWER WITH BAGGER FROM WALMART

Why we love this deal: Enjoy mowing the lawn for a change, without the noise, exhaust, and maintenance of a typical gas-powered mower. This deal from Walmart includes a grass catcher to collect clippings for composting, making it green times two. It matches the lowest price from other online retailers but offers the convenience of choosing either free shipping or free in-store pickup from a local Walmart.

$9 THRESHOLD BAMBOO BASKET FROM TARGET (70% OFF)

Why we love this deal: Target's clearance deal knocks $21 off the regular price, making this a great steal on sustainable storage. This deal is in-store only and only at certain stores -- but Target.com offers tools to find where it is in stock nearby.
