+ MeFoto RoadTrip Carbon Fiber Travel Tripod Kit for $180 in two color options

To be kind, to be true, to be nutritional? The Monday Meh daily deal is a 48-pack of Kind bars for $24 plus shipping. Because you have to eat something when you are photographing out and about in the wilderness with the bears and Grizzly Adams…

Meanwhile at the current iteration of the Adorama daily deals [change Monday 10am ET] you can have:

+ FotoPro X-Go Max 4-Section Carbon Fiber Tripod with Built-In Monopod, FPH-62Q Ball Head for $199

+ Glow Super Collapsible Background – 8 x 16′ (Chroma Blue) for $50

Forgot about Dre, and also forgot about the DisocuntMAGS weekend sale (typically ends Monday night) and this time around the theme is “Bodacious 80s” [whatever that means]. This time there’s one camera-n-photo title, “Videomaker” for $8 for a 1-year non-auto-renewing subscription delivered to US addresses by snail and turtle mail…

It’s the return of the Nikon Aculon binoculars at the Monday Best Buy dailies, as usual, three options (two different models) for $40 each…

IF you want to get the official Google-blessed Android 12 on a Pixel phone at a low price, at the “Electronics” Woot daily deal for Monday you can have the “grade A refurbished” Google Pixel 3 XL (64GB, fully unlocked, locked bootloader, security updates ending right now) for $140 plus shipping… Meanwhile the “Computers” sub-Woot has a Feast of Lenovo 2-in-1 laptops ($300 to $900)…

IF you are interested in Microsoft’s 365 Personal subscription (12-months, auto-renewing), you can get it for $74 for a limited time, bundled with a $15 Amazon gift card at Amazon USA. Note that the listing is a bit confused, the product description mentions a $50 gift card instead of a $15 but everything else mentions a $15. You will get a $15 gift card. When you add it to the shopping cart, it says that the gift card will actually be a paper gift certificate. This is a new listing (only 12 global ratings of which only two written reviews), which may explain the listing kerfuffles.

Speaking of Amazon, if you don’t want to buy the new next-generation 6.8-inch Paperwhite for $140 {see the next newer post for this}, the current Paperwhite version (8GB, with Sponsored Ads) is on sale again for $80. There’s also a 20% off Trade-In promotion. You get 20% off on this new purchase, PLUS a gift card for the value of your old Kindle…
