It’s been a while since we visited the NewEgg shellshockers and what a coincidence, today they have a special on the Samsung Endurance microSDXC cards. IF you buy one new condition 64GB Samsung PRO Endurance microSDXC memory card (UHS-I, U1, up to 100MB/sec, MB-MJ64GA/AM) you pay $18. Limit up to three per customer. These are sold and shipped by NewEgg not marketplace sellers.
BUT wait, there’s more! You can buy them as a 2-pack for $33, that brings the individual card price down to $16.50. So it’s better to buy the 2-packs instead of two individual cards. Limit up to three 2-packs per customer as well…
This is a daily deal for Wednesday August 21 in 2019… We are just three months away from Black Friday 2019. Are your wish lists and shopping lists and your budgets ready for the madness?
Hump Day has about 35 (not millimeter) offerings in the Amazon C&P Lightning Deals and of those, of potential interest for the next 24 hours or so, you may find the following:
+ Neewer F5 5″ on-c monitor, loaded background support system, 64″ video tripod, 64″ tripod/monopod creature, 56″ portable tripod, flash, etc

UPDATE: meanwhile in the main Amazon USA Gold Box they have various Eureka ergonomic and standing desks on sale along with various Vitamix Venturist blenders. A good match for your new standing desk 😉 There’s also a back to school sale on the ever-increasing number of AmazonBasics-branded products, Amazon’s own hardware and lots mo(i)re…
And just like that, it’s Hump Day with a very name brand centric theme for the B&H Photo daily deals:
+ Vanguard VEO 2 204AB Aluminum Tripod with Compact Ball Head (Red, 4.4′) for $50
+ Think Tank Photo Spectral 8 Camera Shoulder Bag (Black) for $40~
+ Sony XZ2 Compact, model H8314, unlocked smartphone for $250
+ Sony XZ2 for $300

+ purchases include a free case and a 3-month prepaid Mint Mobile plan
+ 21.5″ iMac with Retina 4K Display (Mid 2017) for $899
+ 3.0 GHz i5 Quad-Core, 16GB DDR4 RAM, 1TB Hard Drive, 21.5″ 4096 x 2304 IPS Retina 4K Display, AMD Radeon Pro 555 Graphics Card (2GB), etc

+ Neewer 70-inch tripod/monopod for $42~

If you are a fan of Woot-OFFs, three of the sub-Woots are having a Woot-OFF on Tuesday, “Gourmet” and “Shirt” and the one more likely to feature camera=related items, Sellout aka Clearance. As usual, I have no advance notice of what’s coming so it’s a YMMV adventure…
As of the time of writing they have a 32GB Sandisk microSDXC C10 memory card going for $5 with 81% left and up to ten per customer…
On the Electronics sub-Woot deal of the day they have refurbished Samsung Galaxy S7 for $100. Note that the latest model is the S10 so this is three generations behind the current flagship. But smartphones have improved greatly over the last few years, you don’t need a “latest model” ~ unlike the old days where each new cycle brought a noticeable boost in usability and performance…
Meanwhile at the Best Buy dailies they have the refurbished Epson PRO EX-9220 wireless 3-LCD 1080p projector for $550 and of home-and-gardens interest, 60-packs of Cafe Turino espresso [or if you want to irritate your barista, “expresso”] for $10 each. Note that these are for the Nespresso system, not the Keurig K-cup system.
And among the Tuesday Amazon USA gold box offerings, they have various ARRIS (formerly of Motorola) modems and routers on sale with prices ranging from $75~ to $310. Your ISP / cable company may not be very forthcoming but often times you have the option to purchase your very own modem/router instead of paying them a monthly fee/fleece 🙂 BUT check for modem/router compatibility before making a purchase. They should have a list of compatible options published online or buried in a PDF file somewhere…
And on the other side of the pond, among the Amazon Germany gold box daily deals for Tuesday in the german time zone, they have a PacSafe sale featuring a soccer team (eleven) bags of different sizes/kinds with prices ranging from 36 to 108 euro…
Tuesday is “in progress” and until 11:59pm ET (or earlier if sold out) the following four are today’s B&H daily deals:

This is a blanket correction for the last few days. Due to a self-propagating cut-and-paste error of the previous daily deal links, the links to the B&H Photo daily deals of the last few days were pointing to the wrong place (a 3rd-party lens at Amazon). All apologies for the confusion! Thanks to S.W Anderson for pointing it out in the comments!
PS: if you see things like that, please feel free to point it out in the comments or use the online contact form. This being a poor blog, we don’t have the luxury of having a “bug bounty program”, but you will definitely have our thanks 🙂
