As usual, the Saturday B&H daily deals are the same as yesterday, except for the flash sales that expire and any items that potentially sells out ahead of its designated expiration time.

One item makes up the Saturday Adorama daily deals, the Belle Drape Collapsible Background – 60×72″ (Blue/Green Chroma) going for $30.

Keurig coffee brewers ($79 in different colors), replacement travel mugs ($8) and assorted other “system” accessories have been added to the list of featured Amazon Gold Box offerings. Yes, there’s another K-system, it’s the Keurig K-system 🙂 Still no Pentax branded coffee machines though 😉

If you are looking for new e-books to e-read, there’s over 110 new sales in the Kindle daily deals. On the other hand, if you are a voracious reader, and don’t want to e-own the e-books you e-read, it may be more affordable to subscribe to the Netflix-style Kindle Unlimited subscription.

Speaking of reading, if you are fond of romantic type of ebooks, there’s a Love is in the air sale with 200+ options. Me personally, I’m writing a romance novel about three film-only photographers who meet on a bird watching trip and a dramatic triangle ensues! Working title, “When Canon met Nikon” 😉

And to the FREEBIES, if you are participating in the Lucky’s or SaveMart rewards program, this weekend’s freebie is a 12oz Celsius (brand name) energy/vitamin type of zero sugar type of drink – in a tin.

And we close with a PSA, Trader Joe sent an email recall, a couple of their almond-related products have “Surprise” rocks (!!!) inside! Check their email or website or social media or B&M stores for specifics.

Shipping and taxes are NOT refunded. I have not done this type of a deal, so I have NO CLUE how it works!

Time sure does fly because the Meh website is sale-a-brating its birthday, it has turned nine years old! And how do they sale-a-brate this event? Why, with a MEH-rathon, their version of a Woot-OFF. But a MEH-rathon is even better, because earlier offers do not disappear – they continue to be available for purchase until they sell out or the event ends…

AND if you are fond of freebies, this weekend, the freebie for Lucky Rewards (supermarket chain) is a 20oz of “Coca Cola Ultimate”, a limited edition “creation”. Keep in mind there’s a LOT of easily absorbable sugar in soft drinks, up to ten teaspoons. Only about one teaspoon of sugar circulates in our blood, so you can image the panic and stress the human body goes through when all of a sudden a bomb of 10 teaspoons of sugars enters the bloodstream 🙂

And just like that, dear readers, we’ve fallen upon another Thirsty Thursday. This being a health-conscious blog, we highly recommend water, tea, coffee, and proper electrolytes for your thirst needs. It pains me to say that more and more research shows that alcohol is a poison to the human body ~ until we evolve, or until we can get ingestible nano bots that process alcohol and spare the liver of the suffering 😉

After that totally unnecessary intro (it’s a good thing web hosting companies don’t charge by the word), we charge up to the Meh daily deal, they be offering the Aduro PowerUp OmniHub Universal Charging Station for $20 plus shipping. No, this is not an Omniscient hub, but it has three AC outlets, two USB-C ports and two USB-A ports. Not bad for a single device. A few of these and you can charge all your devices at the same time 😉

+ IDX ZENITH ZEN-C150G Three-Stud Lithium-Ion Battery (145Wh) for $279 with FREE IDX UC-PD1 Pocket Travel Fast Charger & Power Supply
