Amazon Deal Alerts & Discussion Thread

just like the picture above shows: F-N is 5 oz.
it “used to be” 5.5 oz for the same price.
(still have two 5.5’s)

received our order today.
only the reduced price offer
enticed us to order bulk quantity.
yes, we are that cheap.
BLF is our kind of place.

Don’t apologize. I’m right there with you. I’ll drive miles out of the way to save a nickel per gallon on gas. Go figure, huh?

Waste not, want not.

Niwalker ET1 for less than $40

Seems like a pretty good deal since they’re closer to $100 or more on their website

Ugh… don’t get me started.

Yogurts were 8oz cups, then “whips” and “mousse” stuffed only 6oz of aerated yogurt into 8oz-sized cups, then went down to 6oz outright, and are currently only 5.3oz.

Traditional 1lb/16oz cans of coffee packed tight became 14oz of same-sized cans with loosely packed coffee, and I’ve seen some cans with only 10oz and change. Pretty soon they’ll be selling empty cans.

Half-gallons of ice-cream became 1.5qts. Rectangular cartons got sharply tapered at the bottom to look almost the same size from the top.

Rolls of paper-towels which would never fit on the holder ’til it was about a quarter-gone, nowaways the “rolls” leave huge gaps like they’re already half-gone! Bigger rolls are called “jumbo” or “extra” or similar language.

Sneaky SOBs, you really gotta look and take note how contents are getting less and less over time (which might slip by most people), vs jacking up prices (which people will notice).

Years back I read an article in Consumers report. A reader wrote in about Woolite detergent . The one for handwashing , the TV commercial said one cap full in a tub of water is all you need (or words to that effect).

The reader said they bought a new bottle , when going to use it they dropped the cap and it rolled under the stove something . So they took the cap off the old bottle only to find it was too small for the new bottle .

Woolite made the new cap much larger so you would in turn use more detergent and have to buy more Woolite sooner .

This Amazon listing for the Lumintop B01 bike light has a 40% off promo code Q359PUOV which brings the price down to about $25.

I’ve had one for a while and like it. Decent (plastic) mount, cutoff beam, and nice tint. Feels like 4000K to me. Accepts a 21700 cell but comes with an adapter tube and a 2600mAh 18650.

It will also run off a USB power source without a cell installed.

Here is ZeroAir’s review of the B01.

Bugger, must’ve expired? Said “coupon successfully applied”, but it only reduced it from 30 to 25. Yeah…no.

Excellent bike light for the $$$. Got one for my daughter a while back. Nice not to blind people when riding in the dark.

The Amazon Basics AAA rechargeable battery
AAA Basics

These are the “performance batteries” not the high capacity

At 12 for $10.99 plus shipping

The WireCutter review is” here”:12 Best Rechargeable AA and AAA Batteries of 2023 | Reviews by Wirecutter

These used to be made in Japan, I bought some then and they seem very good. The current ones are Chinese made and aren’t as good. I’d pass on these. Look at the reviews but sort by most recent, a lot of the reviews are for the old ones.

That review you linked is for the old ones. They used to be black with a green top. The new ones are green with a black top.

I wasn’t aware of the difference, thanks for pointing that out.

A little suspicious that the review you linked has the Amazon batteries above the Eneloops in both sizes —not my personal findings but the Basics are very good just not Eneloop good
