A 12.4″ tablet not big enough of a screen? How about the 32″ TCL Class 3 720p Roku TV for $130. Yes it is $130 but also yes, it is 720p. Soy vey indeed for 2023! Roku TV meaning that Roku is built-into the TV, you don’t need a separate Roku stick/box…

Me personally I’m fond of having a separate smart component for the TV because it’s a lot easier and cheaper to change the component than keep buying new TVs every time a new version of Apple TV or Roku TV or Google TV or whatever comes out 🙂

Any purchase, no matter how small in amount or size, can keep your account alive for another 18 months.

For more details check the FAQs at the Shutterfly Photo Storage policy page, where we learn you can also select a CVS or Walgreens in-store pickup for an order that will keep your account alive.

Meaning you can print a couple of 4x6s and pick them up at a CVS/Walgreens of your choice. Even if you don’t have any near you – you can send them to friends/relatives, or just somewhere out there. To avoid paying the shipping and handling fee 🙂

Monoprice launches a Rewards program

Rewards continue to be hot in the world of shopping, so the Monoprice website jumped on this bandwagon as well! They have launched their Preferred Rewards program that offers two type of benefits:

  1. volume pricing discount; the higher your reward tier, the more discounted units you can buy
  2. coupons twice a year; the higher the reward tier, the bigger the coupon discount

The reward tiers are determined by how much you spent at the Monoprice website the previous calendar year (1/1 through 12/31). Included in the qualifying amount are taxes and shipping fees.

It is a FREE rewards program – it should go without saying but a few times some merchants charge (hello AMEX), so I have to mention it 🙂
