Grabbed like 4 Echo Show 5's for only $45 each.. and for $5 more you can get either a smart plug or a blink camera.

Perfect Christmas present. Even for the older non tech folks.. everyone could utilize voice activated lights.

I nabbed one of the Fire 8HD's just to watch Netflix, Disney+, etc while out and about. It had been $90 and I got it for $55. The 10" one had been $150 and is on sale for $80. Lots of good deals on TV's.

ooo I might have to look at that. I've been rocking a Galaxy Tab S3, but I swear, one year after it came out, it seems Samsung nuked it with software updates that slowed it down.

TVs always have great deals starting now. Grabbed an LG B9 last year for almost half off.

I've grabbed a few Subscribe 'n Save deals, but haven't seen anything great. Have all the HDTV's / smart plugs / smart bulbs / echo dots etc. that I need currently.

I’ve bought nothing yet. Generally hate Amazon’s devices, especially if they have a GUI.

One of my favorite pens has a deal about to come up soon so we shall see!

My daughters have the older version of the Fire tablet and it was okay for what I intend to do with this one. They are not as good as an Ipad IMO but then again it's $55 compared to $400 and to watch Netflix, Disney+, Hulu, etc I just can justify paying the difference for the Ipad. I don't really plan to do anything else with it. I have a convertible laptop/tablet that I use for anything major.

I would bet 90% of tablet users played with it for work/drawing for about a weekend before it turned into another streaming/porn device.

The S3 was neat to draw on with the pen, but it's been reduced to being a screen for my spin bike.

So AP has Netgear Orbi RBK753 mesh router system for $577. Costco has it for $99 every day. Meh.

Amazon isn't going to offer something that a Sams Club has for 1/5th the price. Without looking, its almost for sure not the same product.

Please stop thinking every Netgear or TPlink router is the same. None of you are 70, put in some effort and Google it.

Looking at a MS Surface Pro 7 to in effect combine my tablet with PC. I don't need to play games (at all) or watch videos (very often) but do read newspapers, books, Word, Excel, email etc. and think I can combine the two devices.

Anybody used the Surface Pro, like or dislike? They are not cheap, especially if you have to buy a case and keyboard separately.

Solid deals on Ray-Bans, plus it's a great time to stock up on basics like socks, undershirts, etc.

Big money off Roombas if you're still looking to grab one.

On a scale of 1 to 10, how badly would one be in the doghouse if they got their GF/Wife a Roomba for Christmas?

It makes their life easier so I would think you may not only NOT be in the doghouse but she might give you a little something special Christmas night. 🤷‍♂️

Good looks on the Socks.. needed to re-up. Grabbed a morning-after Detox drink.

You really almost need to take the day off for this. So many lightning deals it's hard to keep up. They had Blue DIamond Haberno Almonds (absolutely fire if you haven't had them) for like half off.. but it got scooped up quick.

Picked up a couple of safes for the kids, another Amazon Fire for travel and a new golf range finder.
