July Deals

ACraigL shared a link said Sat, Jul 1st 2017 at 10:38pm ET

So I just asked alexa what her deals are and I’m getting a 3-pack of Nivea lotion for free ($0). I didn’t want or need said lotion, but it was free. I wonder what I’ll use it for.

So, I guess post other July deals here.

- @ACraigL It looks like you used most of your $20 dash wand credit for moisturizer. Did you mean to do that?

- @sammydog01 @medz Haha! Yeah, caught it after the fact and canceled the order. To be fair, a) Alexa told me it was free, but said nothing about using up a credit and b) I was kinda drunk at the time.

- @ACraigL This seems like a big flaw in ordering with Alexa. Saying a deal is free just because you have a credit balance with the seller is very misleading. Glad you caught it.

- @djslack Listened more carefully just now and she says, “[product description] is zero dollars after a discount of $8.37 (or whatever). Would you like to buy it?”
  
  So, yeah, it’s including my credit, because the toothpaste or whatever is on sale is only discounted like $2. No mention at all of using my available credit. So dumb.

@f00l @oldcatlady … I think one of you was lamenting missing these on morningsave… I have no idea if this is a good price:

As one of its daily deals, A4C offers the refurbished LG Tone Infinim Wireless Bluetooth Stereo Headset in Silver for $39.95 with free shipping. That’s the best price we could find for a refurb by $10, although we saw one for $2 less in January. It features Harmon Kardon sound, Bluetooth 4.1, retractable earbuds, up to 16 hours of talk time, up to 11 hours of music time, and up to 23 days of standby time. Deal ends today.

A 90-day A4C warranty applies.

McDonald’s is offering free ice cream on Sunday, July 16, and it’s pretty easy to get. To get a free cone, download the McDonald’s mobile app and have it ready to go. Then, on Sunday, check out the offer under “my deals.” If you redeem the offer at a drive-thru or inside a restaurant, you get the freebie.

If you see deals on:

Still looking for inexpensive but loud with good bass plug in bluetooth speakers. Batteries are okay if they can still be operated while plugged in, but usually there’s a buzz. Don’t want anything that will overcharge, these are going to stay plugged in.

Also my surround sound system is failing, so a good one at a decent price would be delightful. Bonus points if it incldes a bluray with usb port. Money’s tight so I may not be able to afford one. Don’t go out of your way to look.

- @moondrake A few links to Bluetooth speakers that may be up your alley.
  
  I can particularly recommend the ones on Meh Encore, if they are like the qfx speakers that they resemble they are loud, with good bass, and don’t seem to mind being plugged in indefinitely.

- @djslack I bought a pair of the Phillips speakers for the game room. I’m looking at the Bem Ohana and the Que speakers for the kitchen. I am torn between them, the Bems are very cute but it looks like the “candles” don’t have an ac connection. I’m looking for something that’s going to be plugged in all the time and with work while plugged in without feedback buzz. Does this mean I should be looking at the Que? There are some Who’s On First jokes to be made there. “I see you got some new speakers.” “Que.” “You got some new speakers.” “Que speakers.” “THOSE SPEAKERS!” “QUE!”

- @ACraigL Lining up, pronounced “cue”, is spelled “queue”. Spanish is the dominant language here so I immediately saw Que as “kay” or “what?”

- @moondrake That’s local language influence for you… I can see how they would be ¿qué? speakers there but I would read them as Cue.
  
  The Bem candle speakers all appear to be micro usb powered, so no idea about overcharging but buzzing shouldn’t be a problem. But I don’t know about speakers that are disguised as other things, sometimes they don’t come through with the sound quality.
  
  The Que speakers are meant to be plugged in (although they can be unplugged) so you shouldn’t have issues with them. And they’re big enough to give good bass response.

There are grandkids to admire, places to visit, shopping to be done, town revitalization to admire, old homesteads to visit, cemeteries to document, records to research… I learned awhile back that it’s smart to stay in a hotel, not somebody’s guest room. Last time I went, they had an outbreak of tornadoes, and every town emergency siren went off. They still blame me.
