Good Deal's and Steals!
9Good deals, great bargains, and penny pinching ways is a thread that I miss seeing here. Hopefully you guys will share some of your great finds too!
I came across these arcade games that seem to match the stools we’ve seen here on Meh and their sister sites.

Anti-deal: discontinued shaving cream on Amazon at $70 for a $5 tube.
Gotta admire their optimism. Or stupidity. Whichever.
@blaineg And this:
For one cup.
Posting this especially for @sammydog01, although other may be interested too:
From https://beduvely.com/products/advent-calendar-halloween
Supposedly 50% off.
@Kyeh Those are spectacular!
@sammydog01 I’m not sure about the website; I saw it on Instagram. Oh - it looks like it’s at a much better price from Walmart anyhow! https://www.walmart.com/ip/2022-Halloween-Doll-Advent-Calendar-Contains-24-Gifts-Halloween-Horror-Figures-Advent-Calendar-Halloween-Countdown-Calendar/1335516659
@Kyeh I ordered one for my daughter from Amazon. Thanks!
(Order early, looks like they’re coming from overseas.)
@sammydog01 Oh, was it a good price there? I’m looking forward to the daily photo reveal - I hope!
@Kyeh It was around $17 shipped. She’s away at school so no photos. Unless I break down and buy one for myself.
@sammydog01 Oh! Well, there are 3 styles, so you could get one if the others, right?
The figures look a little… um… unlicensed?
Free games this week:

A bit of a deal with the coupon code in the article, but check out this advent calendar!

@blaineg They even have tools in seasonal colors. And is that a little tree on there? Love it.
Epic Games has at least one free game every week, sometimes 2-3. Scroll down a page or two to find the freebies.
https://store.epicgames.com/en-US/
Shadow of the Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition is one of three this week, but Epic’s weeks start Thursday mornings, so you’ve got a day left on that one.
@blaineg I COLLECT THEM ALL. And have played exactly one. But it was fun.
@sammydog01 A winemaking simulator is free this week. Someone tell the Casemates crew!
For the tool addicts out there, the Craftsman 75 Piece Tap and Die Set that Project Farm reviewed and came in at 2nd place is on sale for $79.99 (usually $200-ish)!
Just snagged it myself.

@PHRoG I bought a massive metric & standard set a while back, but that was a mistake from a usability point of view. The case is massive, over two feet wide. Separate metric & standard sets would have been easier to deal with.
For PC video game deals: https://isthereanydeal.com/
For Switch game deals: https://www.dekudeals.com/
You can set price watches on either.
Humble Bundle is usually worth a look at their bundles & other deals. Not just games, I got a bundle of 32 cookbooks for $18 last week.
https://www.humblebundle.com/
Some items are direct downloads, some are Steam or other keys to activate.
They also have a game store, and a monthly game subscription they call “Choice” which is ironic because they choose them. Though the games are permanent, not rentals.
@blaineg You mean like “Choice” beef means you get to pick the cow you’re eating?
https://www.gog.com/ (Started as Great Old Games, but they just seem to go by GOG these days.) often has deals, but they are notable for no DRM on any games they sell.
Also, GOG Galaxy is a cross store and cross platform game launcher. It’s completely optional for GOG games, but I find it VERY useful for keeping track of what games I’ve bought, no matter where I got them. They don’t have any Nintendo integration, but they do support Steam, Epic, Ubisoft, GOG, Origin, Humble Bundle, Playstation & XBox.
https://www.gog.com/galaxy
@blaineg Bonus: GOG are the same folks behind RedProjekt and The Witcher games and Cyberpunk2077.
Free games this week:

Ark: survival evolved

$5 more for the deluxe version with all the characters DLC.
Did everyone look in their emails and see a member coupon email from morning save?
@RiotDemon
Once again I got nuthin.
No!
I checked my junk folder, too.
@RiotDemon Nada here, but I’m not signed up for daily spam either.
@RiotDemon I’ve received four emails from Morningsave today and don’t see a coupon in any of them.
@RiotDemon Don’t think I got this one. I get the daily and sales ones. I got the last member email twice, maybe I used up my quota
@sammydog01 mine was yesterday.
@RiotDemon Lots of MorningSave email, but no coupon here.
@RiotDemon Bupkis again. Someone whispered the code to me last time.
Thanks for the whisper!
@walarney Yay! Measuring spoons!
/giphy innocent-skilled-iguana
@blaineg @RiotDemon Same here. A ton of morningsave emails but no coupon. Just checked them all even prior to Monday. I wonder if they only send them out to some people? Like maybe people who buy a lot of things?
@blaineg @Kidsandliz @RiotDemon I didn’t see anything either, and now I’m SAD. I don’t even know what it is, but I want it.
@blaineg @mossygreen @RiotDemon I was whispered it is all sold out. It was a free item from a very limited list of stuff on morningsave.
@blaineg @Kidsandliz @RiotDemon Aw. Well, missing something free I didn’t really want is less disappointing than a deeper discount than usual on something I did want. Thanks for explaining.
@Kidsandliz @mossygreen @RiotDemon Everything is sold out, so I guess it’s ok to post the link so you can see what you missed.

@blaineg @Kidsandliz @RiotDemon CURSES ON EVERYONE INVOLVED.
It’s been a long time since I’ve thought of Brando, but they’re still around and selling all sorts of bizarre stuff.
Some of it may even be useful.
The were a great source for Palm Pilot stuff back in the day.
If it plugs into a USB port, they probably sell it.
https://shop.brando.com/
@blaineg For example, how about a doggie butt phone stand?
@blaineg I want this:
@blaineg @sammydog01 But do I $84 want it?
@blaineg @walarney No. That’s a good thing because you might $24 want it and then you’d have another useless piece of stuff lying around and $24 less in your bank account.
There’s a certain pasta giveaway coming up, but I’m not gonna ruin my chances with y’all bunch of IRK- grabbers around
Damn. A necropost. I like seeing various deals and was hoping it was getting revived
@llangley Probably revived by spam which would have been deleted. Too bad a message can’t just be added that spam was deleted when an old thread is revived.
@Kidsandliz @llangley That would keep the necropost current all by itself.
@Kidsandliz @llangley @werehatrack
I sometimes enjoy the revived old threads, if they’re ones I’ve never seen before.
@Kidsandliz @Kyeh @werehatrack Me too! I saw this was revived from the reply to blaineg on the 2nd comment. Probably a spam link to pcgames but it’s still there…
@Kidsandliz @llangley @werehatrack
Oh, you’re right - I didn’t look that far up; turns out I did see this thread way back when, but yeah, “user67265175” has never posted anything else!
@llangley @werehatrack Yeah but they are revived anyway already by spam so it wouldn’t make a difference.
@Kidsandliz @llangley @werehatrack
Well, so post some current good deals and steals, then!
Here’s some great gifts, tools and gadgets that “THEY” say will sellout in October 2022. ENJOY!
