[Leveling Up] Daily Deals and a Path to a Better Life
3Yes. We offer up some crap around here from time to time. Straight garbage, here and there. But also…good stuff? Sometimes…life changing stuff?
Let’s hear a little bit about how you’re building a better life with bricks made of Meh. (Somebody has to have gotten ripped with one of those vibrating exercise platforms, right?)

I, for one, feel like a proper gentleman when placing my phone on its wireless charing pad instead of plugging it into the wall like some sort of peasant.
Oh and I have jump started like a dozen cars with my Meh emergency battery pack thing.
@jouest I don’t always want to char my phone, but when I do, I prefer wireless
Does drinking my yummy coffee from The Exchange count?
@Cerridwyn grey area
All the Meh shirts have made me awe some!!
@yakkoTDI I’m wearing one right now!
… not one of yours, one of mine.
@OnionSoup I wore one yesterday. Today I am wearing a Mediocritee shirt.
@OnionSoup @yakkoTDI I’m wearing one of theirs
@jouest @OnionSoup @yakkoTDI
I get a lot of use out of my meh shirts.
The Shark cordless vacuum I got here really has been a life-changer, I’m somewhat embarrassed to say. I had a huge heavy Sears canister vac that was a chore to haul out and drag around. Now that Meh got me to try a cordless stick, my house is a whole lot cleaner!
@Kyeh this is what we’re looking for, yeeeeeess
Lunch at the workplace caf costs $8, minimum. I circumvent that by soaking a handful of well-expired sriracha OnlyBeans in hot water from the coffee pot, while also steeping my Buldak Habanero Lime noods. Mix them together after 5 minutes and I’ve got a protein (and salt! And fat!) packed lunch for less than $1. I can then spend the other $7 on my monthly VMP membership, feel like a lord of meh, and have money left over to put into a Roth IRA that will allow me to purchase from meh in my retirement!
And oh yeah, the nose hair trimmer make me more presentable for my valentine on Valentine’s Day.
My Meh battery storage case REVOLUTIONIZED my life! All of my batteries (even the button shaped ones) are neatly nestled in their own individual places, and I have become a superior human being (well, superior to how I used to be anyway).
Still frequently use my Foodsaver.
Recently made jam from 4+yr old raspberries we discovery in the old fridge freezer when we had to replace our fridge. They looked (and tasted) brand new.
Smoking a rack of ribs today then packing the rest to freeze for later.
Sous vide was a nice side benefit.
April 25th 2022 — Mystery Brand Computer Backpack…
Still use it and still in great shape! The mystery brand is more associated with keeping beer cold than computers safe, so the occasional “how many cans fit in that?” expected and welcome.
I was reading the T-shirts post and decided to make a comment here. I entered this forum and the first think I saw was the “MEGA DISCOUNT” sign at the top of the page… I feel like you missed a huge opportunity to write it as “MEHGA DISCOUNT”. Ok, that’s all I wanted to say. I love you and the margaritas. Bye.
I’ve found the piles of shit lying around from meh have negatively impacted my marriage and homelife; My instant regret has morphed into perpetual regret as I wade through piles of boxes like some sort of hoarder.
Also, the quality of products here has declined and the variety of interesting stuff has gone down in recent years making me question whether my decade of being VMP is coming to a close. If I want super-shady power strips and decade-old USB chargers to live life on the edge, I can go on Temu for $4.15. It’s as if the buyers don’t care about what folks want anymore.
Too much pet crap, abandoned/failed health products and failed specialized diet (keto, etc) products inevitably past their best-by prime. Bring back knives, speaker docks, and limited edition unique shit that actually has a risk of selling out.
Likewise, meh-ra-thons are boring AF if you can just browse past deals trying to game whatever pay-to-play IRK is going on at the sister site. Sprinkling in some random Archie McPhie trash like you found an old box from a Spencer’s mall closing is mildly insulting.
Oh meh, how I love thee. Let me count the ways:
POKER! JOKER! NOT MEDIOCRE! AWESOME!
@Echenanci damn
My Meh jacket is still going strong after years of regular use.
Meh sold Stanley tumblers before they were popular.
Also that was over 10 years ago!
@narfcake Oh damn, memory lane
The cord free vacuum with the little spinner to get shit against the wall works awesome in my kitchen. I love the mop I got that separates the clean water from the dirty. The hand decorated head by @koolhandjoe is awesome. My adulting trophy and hugs not nugs sign. My entire family has been thrilled to receive new sheets. Cold/hot insulating cups, foam gummy bears were pretty tasty and I’m sure there’s tons more.
LEGOS! EGGOS! STRATEGO! AWESOME!
Between the Motif coffee maker, the Ninja multi-cooker, and the Cuisinart air-fryer/toaster oven, it’s changed how we do kitchen. I just realized the Cuisinart has a proof function. Used it to make bread today! WAY easier than putting the light bulb in the oven trick.
@ybmuG Oh, good to know, since I have the same oven you have!
