I recently decided I wanted to replace the Keurig K-Compact I take on vacations (too bulky) with their K-Express. I spotted it for 50% off and snapped one up.

Like many, I don't play the discount game much. But just delivered today a new paring knife. I have a half dozen I've had for years....a favorite I've had since college from a thrift store. Recently left one with a cracked handle at a Vrbo beach rental by mistake. Not much knowledge about the maker but the price was nice and the hand hold is excellent. image.thumb.png.c17a72338e7c484277c3b04dac3ba29e.png

I scored two Prime deals:  a replacement kitchen soap dispenser for me, and a Di ORO spatula set as a present for a friend.

 

It saddens me that no one went for the fantastic price on the GE Profile Indoor Smoker.

I thought long and hard. But I really don't have a good place to put it. My Rotuts-approved tube smoker does everything I need.

 

And I easily smoke outdoors.  There is no lack of outdoors around here. 🫠

As cool as the indoor smoker is, your tube smoker is not dependent on electricity or a phone app, and will never need a firmware update.🙂

I'm all for anything that allows us to discover, or keep us doing what we love, as we go thru the (seemingly never ending) curveballs and challenges that life throws at us. Smoke on @rotuts!🦃🐔🐄🐖

I thought for ten seconds about springing for a Vitamix, which was seriously discounted yesterday, but the truth is I use a Ninja bullet thing for smoothies and find that the Bamix immersion blender works great for creamed or blended soups. So my haul for Prime days was, to say the least, modest. The Sciara pistachio cream I like was reduced. My favorite cotton socks were heavily discounted, so I bought a pack of those. So,no  serious investment that challenges my counter space. I can't bear spending time scrolling for deals. Usually I'm glad when Prime Day is over.

I did end up buying 2 diOro spatula sets.  One to replace some at home, another in lavendar for the camping kitchen kit - there'll be no spatulas confused as to where they live.
