Rayovac Alkaline Batteries have their own $5 AmazonDash button ($5 credit after first use)

Until I see this in person, I still think it’s an April Fool’s joke that everybody else is in on 🙂 But it’s actually for real. For Prime members, a few months ago Amazon launched a Dash Button Service where you press a button, and Amazon automatically orders and delivers the designated item for you. So far it’s mostly household items but more brands are coming on-board (eg printer inks).

At the moment, there is one Dash button of photography interest, the Rayovac Battery Button (single-use alkaline AA, AAA, C, D). You pay $5 for it, and after you place your first order with it (by pressing it), Amazon will add a $5 store credit to your account. For each button, there is a box that you can click on the Amazon product page for that particular button to see all eligible items (annotated screenshot crop below):

Lowepro Volta 20 Camera Case for $3 with Store Pickup (limit 5)

Ooops! Forgot about the eBay Deals, so we start with something that costs less than the average Starbucks drink, the Lowepro Volta 20 Camera Case goes for $3 by Best Buy on eBay. Free Store Pickup at a nearby Best Buy store, otherwise $7 shipping ruins this deal. Limit five per customer.

Speaking of tiny camera bags, the good old tiny goofy AmazonBasics Compact Case goes for $2.26, with a limit of three per customer. It is still an Add-On item, so you must place a $25+ order to get it. The rest of the AmazonBasics camera cases are not discounted like this.

Speaking of Starbucks, for a limited time only, Groupon offers a Pay $5, Get $10 Starbucks eGift card. Limit one per customer. When you redeem it, you can add this to an existing Starbucks gift card, so you don’t have to “pollute” your Starbucks app with too many gift cards. Since I can’t physically buy all our readers coffee, this is one way to do it 🙂

Woot April 2016: pay $5 flat shipping only ONCE during the month

It can risky when companies make serious announcements on April Fool’s Day (that’s when Gmail was born!), especially if they participate in April Fool’s Day jokes, but this one is not a joke. For the whole month of April 2016, you only pay $5 shipping ONCE for everything you buy from Woot (except Wine and International Shirt). So instead of paying $5 flat shipping per day, you only pay it for the first order you make in April 2016. Subsequent April 2016 orders will get free shipping. This is not the first time they run a promotion like this. Details at the Promotion page.

Lens-Shaped Coffee Mug for $10 [was $11]

And now to a lens of a different kind, a novelty gift with some semi-practical use, Groupon is offering this lens-shaped coffee mug for $10 (was $11) each, with a limit of five per customer. Free shipping with orders of $34.99 so you may want to add it to a future order if not planning to buy anything else now. Shipping is $4 for sub-$35 orders. The specs say this is 12oz but keep in mind, in general, most of the coffee cup listed measurements are usually fully full (which no one uses that way because you get spills all over).

Also of interest if you have any Groupon store credit or coupons or gift cards.
