Saturday, aka CATurday is here, and while the B&H dailies are the same as yesterday (as always), the rest of the retailers have fresh daily deals!

We start at the Meh daily, yes, it’s another 2-pack of powerbanks, this time it’s a 2-Pack of Odec 10,000mAh Power Banks going for $13 plus shipping. Free S&H for paying Meh-members. USB-C and micro-USB inputs, USB-A outputs, 2.4A, up to 12W, 90 day Woot warranty. Over 1000 customer ratings of this at Amazon

Quiet times continue at the Adorama dailies (change Sunday 3am ET), a $7 mic cable, and a $999 Teradek ACE 500 HDMI Wireless Video Transmitter and Receiver Set…

Amazon’s Saturday Gold Box has a Valentine’s themed Vahdam teas sale, and Amazon gift cards with select Turbo Tax software and some Sony OLED TVs and Fire HD tablets (they’ve come a long way since the original 7-inch Kindle Fire tablet which if I recall correctly I bought when it came out), the outdoorsy Samsung Terrace QLEDs (you pay for the outdoorsy display, $8.5K to $10K), and things like that…

And if you are a member of the Lucky Rewards B&M program, this weekend’s freebie is a 12oz Fast Twitch energy drink. CAUTION: the twitch may become permanent 😉

PS: yes, it is Terrace, not Terrance as in Terrance and Philip, Canada’s superhero duo!
