June Deals [UNOFFICIAL]
12I put up these buds’ big brother last month, but these minimalist TWS Bluetooth earbuds are quite good and right now only twenty bucks and change. $20.51 to be exact on a “limited time deal” at Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/ENACFIRE-Wireless-Bluetooth-Headphones-Waterproof/dp/B08GY8ZW6G/
They are super lightweight so they stay put, low profile so they don’t stick out much from your ears and low latency so your video doesn’t mismatch your audio. Sound quality is great to a non-audiophile layperson such as myself, with crisp highs that let me hear instruments I didn’t necessarily hear, say, in the car, and defined bass that isn’t too boomy. USB-C charging case.
Let’s see some more deals!

Thanks to everyone that voted for it!!
@ACraigL Bought!
@ACraigL Wow, 1st place - congratulations!
I’ve loved campfires since I was a kid and went camping. The whole fire pit thing has been great. But sometimes I have trouble getting a fire started and last time I burned a big circle in my husband’s beloved lawn. He was cool with it but I don’t want to do it again.
I’ve been eyeing these new type of fire pit made by Solo Stoves- they’re supposed to be easy to get started and safe for grass and deck surfaces. They’re always on sale but I think right now they’re actually cheaper than the usual sale price. Perfect marshmallows are in my future. Hopefully.

@sammydog01 nice! I had my eye on one of these at Sam’s club but never picked it up, then they were gone. Let us know how the fires go!
@sammydog01 Saw a thread on the Costco sub on reddit about grilling with a Solo Stove without expensive add-ons. Looks like it was pretty successful. Using a NordicWare Griddle on a Solo Stove
@djslack I bought the middle model, the bonfire, and a stand. Tested it out last night.
I started with a few pieces of fatwood that I couldn’t get to light. Then I put a piece of newspaper under them and the paper flared up and went out. While I was looking for other stuff to burn it flared up into a beautiful little fire.
I just threw on 4 logs and sat back. It really is idiot proof. We had a nice fire and roasted perfect marshmallows. So far the grass looks fine.
You can’t put water on it so I tossed on the screen cover from my old fire pit just in case. Solo charges $150 for a screen. And $50 for marshmallow sticks. Good luck with that Solo.
It’s not as pretty as my old fire pit because you can’t really see the logs burning, just the flame unless you stand over it. Still a win in my book.

@mikibell I WANT ONE BUT DON’T NEED ONE AND I’M TRYING TO BE GOOD.
@sammydog01 I just post the deals… I don’t provide self control…

@sammydog01 I have the original kit. It. Is. Awesome.

DIPLOMAT! RAT-A-TAT! FAT CAT! AWESOME!
I know a bunch of genuine cowboys. I can honestly say I have never seen a single one of them bounce around like that, or even once utter the phrase “awesomesauce”.
I’ve been away from this forum long enough that I had forgotten about the word which summons that who’s name must not be uttered.
@ruouttaurmind Maybe he’s got ants in his pants?
@ruouttaurmind I don’t think I have ever met an honest to goodness cowboy before.
@mike808 @ruouttaurmind Wow, M-bot missed that trigger somehow!
@ruouttaurmind @tinamarie1974 I sleep with on every night!!
@mikibell @tinamarie1974 And have you ever seen him bounce around like the gif, or even think the phrase “awesomesauce”?
@ruouttaurmind @tinamarie1974 heck NO!! He is not scrawny at all… nor does he know awesomesauce…he has bounced up and down and said “Hot Damn”
Amazon: Crocs Baya unisex flips for $17.54 and free Prime shipping or free shipping with $25 order.
This price is for the “Chili” color only. White is also available for 19.99. Purple is available for $19.99 but only size 8 womens / 6 mens.
I ordered the white ones on Sunday with a 40% discount offer from Amz. I’m finding them to be “very generously sized”. This is the first pair of Crocs I’ve owned so I have no idea if oversizing is Crocs SOP, but if you normally wear a 1/2 size, consider sizing down rather than up as is the usual practice.
And PS: these white ones are really, really white. I’m anxious for them to get dingy ‘cause dang all that bright white is distracting.
@ruouttaurmind I remember back in the day (like 3 years ago) you could buy Crocs for $15 at their semi-annual sale. And then the youngsters started wearing them. And Justin Bieber got his own design. And now they’re $50 and higher.
/giphy get off my lawn
@sammydog01 Right? The EDP for this model is around $25 on Amz. I used to see Crocs flips in Ross and TJ Max for $8-$10.
@ruouttaurmind Good thing I hoarded a tub of fuzzy crocs. Maybe I have enough until people get bored with them again.
Amz YMMV: Select Discover Card holders can save up to 40% when you pay with at least 1 Discover Cashback Bonus point during checkout.
This offer is not limited to Prime subscribers.
It seems the offer varies, but is either 30% credit up to $30 total credit, 40% credit up to $40 total credit, or “sorry, this offer is not available to you”. Despite these offers not being avialble to me in the past many months, I was fortunate to receive the 40% deal. So basically $40 credit for my $100 purchase.
How to get it:
Make sure your Discover Card is registered in your Amazon wallet and your Cashback Bonus points account is linked.
Visit this linky to accept the offer.
Spend $100* and save $30 or $40 at checkout when you use at least one Discover reward point.
*Eligible items must be sold and shipped by Amazon. Marketplace sellers, even if fulfilled by Amazon, do not qualify.
@ruouttaurmind I’m not loved. I don’t qualify.
@Barney Wouldn’t it be interesting to see the criteria they use to judge a shopper as worthy? I used to qualify for nearly every Discover and AMEX “pay with points” offer on Amazon. This one is the first I’ve qualified for in many months.
@ruouttaurmind
Walmart: LEGO City Passenger Train, 60197 (677 pieces) for $128 and free shipping or in-store pickup where available. Retail price at LEGO.com is $160.
@ruouttaurmind NOOOO I WANT THIS BUT SHOULDN’T BUY IT.
@sammydog01 But of course you should. Don’t forget to grab the track switchouts and extra track kit, also price reduced.
If you’re a HP fan, the Hogwarts Express kit is also price reduced. I guess WM calls that “rollback” since they don’t (admit to) do “sales”.
I went to WM looking for the cargo train. No joy, but I tripped on all these other kits on rollback.

@sammydog01 I noticed this morning that Amz matched WM price on this set. If you prefer Amz, there ya go. Or if you have a Amz Chase card, you can leverage your extra 5% cash back for an end price of $121.60.
@ruouttaurmind
@sammydog01 My apologies for flogging that dead horse. I didn’t realize you had already ordered the set.
@ruouttaurmind One of these days they’re going to get my money. Not today though.
I was wandering through the Prime Day lightning deals and found a thing that brought back memories.

its BAJA BLAST SEASON
for some reason, walmart listed Baja on its website at a price cheaper that the in store price. Free shipping at $35(i got the max 6 cases of baja and 4 cases of water)

Dang. It says in store only for me. “Only 6 left”
Beauty Brands is holding their annual Shampoo/Conditioner Liter sale with savings of up to 70% off normal retail.
As odd as it sounds, I purchase a years worth of shampoo every June. It is a huge savings!
www.beautybrands.com
@tinamarie1974 I don’t think that sounds odd at all!
@Kyeh @tinamarie1974 I just bought a years worth of shampoo and paid more for it. Darn.
@Kyeh @sammydog01 nnoooo next year wait until the end of June!!
@Kyeh @sammydog01 @tinamarie1974
It’s not weird. Last Spring, a plenty of people bought 25 years worth of toilet paper.
@sammydog01 @tinamarie1974 I’m not impressed with this deal, though.
@Kyeh @sammydog01 uummmmmm
@tinamarie1974 I’ve been letting my hair grow since last March and have been learning what a pain in the ass long hair is. I need to use conditioner now so i can brush it, plus I’ve had to buy a brush. So maybe I’ll get one of those Wet brushes, too.
And my hair dresser said i should consider a purple shampoo. Yes, i did get a haircut in April, but it was minimal. She’s on board with me being an old man with a gray ponytail, of i can figure out how to make a ponytail.
@craigthom ponytails are easy, I have faith in you
And the wet brushes are fantastic. I am super tender headed and it does a great job of detangling without killing me
@craigthom @tinamarie1974
@craigthom @tinamarie1974 Get this, and you can be an old man with a purple ponytail! It’s great stuff - my sister and I both use it. If you have to go gray, you might as well have fun with it, right?
https://www.beautybrands.com/product/keracolor+color+-+clenditioner+purple.do?refType=&from=Search&ecList=6&ecCategory=
@Kyeh @tinamarie1974 Purple hair would be fun but probably not appropriate for visiting customers. Not that the long hair is, either. The purple shampoo is just for more silver and less yellow. I ordered the Biolage. And the regular shampoo and conditioner, and the clarifying shampoo, but not the pumps, because I use restaurant-style squeeze bottles.
I just don’t know what kind of elastic to get for the ponytail. My hair is very fine, so it’s not thick when it comes together.
@craigthom @Kyeh @tinamarie1974
Ummm… I’m sure that stuff is fine, but when your hair dresser is suggesting ‘purple shampoo’, they are talking about products that (try to) prevent the yellow brassiness (brassy-ness?) that sometimes occurs in whitish-gray or grayish-white hair.
Not to actually dye your gray hair purple.
My stylist recommends:
/image Shiny Silver Ultra
@craigthom @Kyeh my hair is very fine and I use a Goody ouchless hair ties work great
And I use Biolage as well, Fibrestrong for me. This time I also grabbed a Joico KPac b/c my stylist has been suggesting it for a while. We will see…
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B005CSYUQA/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_glt_fabc_GWFYM35P2HH65ZS728ZN
@compunaut @craigthom @tinamarie1974
Yes, I know. But I say go a little further and turn purple - it’s such a kick! It’s subtle enough on my hair (salt & pepper) that people aren’t always sure whether it’s just a trick of the light or not.
@compunaut @craigthom @tinamarie1974
That’s pretty bright but I was in the midday sun and had just recently treated my hair.
@craigthom @Kyeh just got my purchase. May have over bought…
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@Kyeh @tinamarie1974 My order still hasn’t shipped, but i picked up more squeeze bottles, and i can use the time to make labels. I like making labels.
I use these bottles, except my local restaurant supply store sells them for about $5.50 a six-pack. I use them for dish soap and vegetable oil and simple syrup (for lemonade and cocktails) and many other things. Now i will use them for shampoo and conditioner.
@craigthom @tinamarie1974
Those look excellent! I like to put some shampoo in one and then shake a little water into it; it makes it penetrate down to the roots better.
Walmart: LEGO Technic Ducati Panigale, 42107 (646 pieces) for $56 and free shipping. Retail price at LEGO.com is $70.
There are a ton of LEGO items and sets “price reduced” at Walmart right now. Of course none of the high demand kits like the lunar lander or bonsai tree, but still, some gems in there.
I was at Old Navy the other day and their face masks were a dollar for a set of five. I bought some because you never know.
@sammydog01 My coworker was just telling me they’re the most comfortable ones she’s worn.
@Kyeh I loved mine until I washed them on hot a few times. I’m hand washing my cotton masks in cold from now on.
@Kyeh @sammydog01 my daughter and I have made thousands of masks… and she buys hers at old navy
On your recommendation I just ordered a pair from Amazon (I’ve been losing earbuds like crazy over the last few weeks, so I needed some replacements) and now there’s an additional $2 off and same day shipping. Whoa
@guyfromhawthorn nice! They always seem to have some sort of special rotating in and out on their different models, some bigger sales than others. I hope you enjoy them!
Hey y’all, if you haven’t heard, there’s a big sale over at that site that Jeff Bezos used to run.

Is this a purple deal? One thing is for sure… it’s definitely purple. The value is entirely up to you to decide. There seems to be much love up in here for this popular color, so I’m tossing this out there regardless of discounts (or lack thereof).
Hanes.com is offering a specially curated selection of their best products in that very popular color.
Shipping is free with a $40+ order, or calculated shipping (usually $6) for orders <$40.
Sign up for their email thingy and get a discount code for 20% off your entire order (applied to not already discounted items).
i’ve only, just now, found this thread. i am sad i am late to the party.
@Yoda_Daenerys you’ll do better next month.
@Ignorant unlikely
@Ignorant @Yoda_Daenerys Let me know what kind of stuff you want to buy and I’ll try to ping you. But I’ll probably forget.
Lowe’s: Kobalt 42-in W x 58.8-in H Steel Tool Chest Combo for $498 and free in-store pickup
Same price as the wildly popular Kobalt tool chest close out deal from 2 years ago. Similar box but with fewer but deeper split drawers. I checked it out in person and it’s essentially a reconfigured version of the previous tool chest combo.
The Kobalt 42 in. 13 drawer tool chest and cabinet set is great for storing and organizing all your tools and hardware. The unit is made from high grade all welded steel construction with a tough, rust-resistant powder coat finish. 13 Drawers are all soft-close full-extension and glide effortlessly on ball-bearing slides that can support up to 100 lbs. you can charge your electronics and power tools even when the chest is locked via the integrated power strip with 4-outlets and 2-USB ports. An ergonomic handle and 5 in. x 2 in. casters allow you to easily move your cabinet around your workspace. Total weight capacity of the unit is 1,200lbs. both the till and chest have lock system for added security.
Appears to be available regionally rather than across all stores. I’ve checked 16 states and the sale price has been available in all of them, but I’ve gotten complaints on my SD posting that it’s showing full price. Unfortunately nobody wants to share their zip code so I’m unable to pin down what regions are offering the sale.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@ruouttaurmind where it’s in stock around me it is sale price. Dammit, you’re going to make me get another toolbox aren’t you?
Jk I have self control. I think.
Where not in stock it shows $598.
@ruouttaurmind $598 and not available around me.
@djslack I’m just dropping the deals. I can’t help it if it is coincidentally something you want/need. Or at least that’s my story.
Thank you for the whisper. Every bit of data helps in my quest to pinpoint the sale price availability criteria.
@djslack PS: make sure you evaluate the overall dimensions and capacity prior to committing. Upon careful comparison to the previous combo we have, this set isn’t as deep at 18” versus 24” of the older set.
@ruouttaurmind I’m not really getting one.
If I were finished partitioning my garage, I would be very tempted to have a box for the new space. But seeing that this deal (or something like it) comes along every once in a while, I don’t feel compelled to grab one and have it in the way until that project is finished.
But good tip, I would have assumed from the looks of it that it was the same box with a slightly different drawer layout.
Thermoworks is doing it again. $69 Mk4 Thermapen. https://www.thermoworks.com/Thermapen-Mk4?quantity=1&color=16
This time they are advertising it as a closeout and hinted that something big is coming, so expect a MK5 announcement soon. This is still a good deal if you need precise instant read temps for cooking or grilling. Historically the version back still sells for more than this price after the new one comes out. The Classic Thermapen is $83 on their site right now and is the model that was replaced 5 years ago with the Mk4.
@djslack They’ve been pushing sales on a lot of their products for a while now. Been pretty clear there’s some new models coming.
@cinoclav yep, I’ve been on the lookout, today marks the first hint of it directly from them that I’ve seen though.
I did order one as a gift, orders today were supposed to be delivered in time for this weekend. I’ll stick with my Classic for now, it’s served me well.
@cinoclav the new product announcement is today at 10 am Eastern.
@djslack The new Thermapen ONE has arrived. Available for preorder for $105.
Apple via Target (Target Circle members): Free subscriptions to Apple TV+, Apple Arcade, Apple Music and 50GB iCloud storage.
It appears this offer is valid through June 17th only, but YMMV.
If you have a Target.com account and have been enrolled in their Target Circle program, Target is offering the following Apple services free:
Apple TV+ streaming service - 4 months free
Apple Music - 4 months free
Apple Arcade - 6 months free
Apple iCloud Storage up to 50GB - 4 months free
@ruouttaurmind I’m seeing 6/17/22. Good looking out!
I hooked up with the Apple TV+ subscription offer and this evening I’ve been giving Apple TV+ the once-over. I did a free week trial shortly after they went live. I struggled to find anything to watch. I found For All Mankind and MythicQuest and that was about it. I wasn’t at all impressed with the interface. I found it cumbersome and inelegant.
Tonight I’m having a repeat experience. Season 2 of For All Mankind and MythicQuest is now available, and that’s about all I’ve found so far which looks interesting to me. And the interface seems to have gotten even less friendly. It now mixes for-purchase shows and movies into the listings ala Prime Video style.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
At least it was free and I’ll get to see Season 2 of those two shows. Still not a service I’m ready to pay for.
on Vizio TVs.
WTH is that all about?
Amazon is prepping for Prime Day with some great trial deals ($0.99/month for 2 months) on their “channels”.
Epix, Starz, Showtime, Acorn (great British crime dramas), PBS Masterpiece, AMC+, Discovery, and Paramount. Many more.
Seach for “Prime Day Channel deals”. Amazon sucks for getting a link to the deal you’re seeing.
I guess if you can’t link it, you can’t tell you’re getting “special, just for you” pricing instead of a real deal. So much for truth in advertising and being confident Amazon isn’t charging POCs more to institutionally and systemically discriminate economically against them even more than they already are.
@mike808 is Lewis on Acorn? It’s like to see that again.
@craigthom It’s on the PBS Masterpiece channel. Also on promo for $0.99/month for 2 months.
@mike808 You also said people without internet access should pay five times the going rate for satellite radio service.
@sammydog01 That doesn’t even make sense as a sentence. Stop bogarting.
@mike808 it’s also on BritBox. I may get a trial for that when I’ve got time to binge.
I know I read somewhere that the Masterpiece Mystery version of shows are shortened a little to add the commercials (I mean underwriting announcements) and Alan Cumming’s intros.
I missed prime day deals due to personal family situation but does anybody know of any deal for hbomax streaming service? Thanks.
@Star2236 Not at the moment. We’re at the end of the 5% cashback for streaming services on Discover cards.
If you have an AMEX, select accounts have an AMEX Offer for a $25 credit when you purchase $99 or more at HBOMax.com. Obvs you’d have to a) have an AMEX, b) have this offer available in your Amex Offers, c) purchase a 12 mos subscription.
Other than that, I am unaware of any discounts right now. You could leverage the 5% reward offered by many grocery store chains for gift card purchases and buy HBOMax gift cards I guess. Double down on that with a bonus offer from some cashback sites. But that’s a bit of effort for a couple bucks.
@Star2236
For a specific thing like that you might set up an ongoing search results notifier for that “hbomax” search on slickdeals.net.
@ruouttaurmind
Thanks
@f00l
Thanks, I’ve never used it before.
