WHILE WALKING on EGGSHELLS we check upon the NewEGG dailies where a $25 VUDU e-gift card goes for $20 and there’s a $10 off on an INTEL i7, and a 256GB Samsung FIT (the tiny one) USB flash drive for $36 ~ among many others…

Outdoor outlets, CyberPower UPS, $100 Airpods 2, and extension cords are among the Woot dailies for Tuesday 8/3/21…

FOR THE eye-glass-o-graphers, the Meh daily-deal offers a 2-pack of PogoCAM wearable HD camera for glasses for $20 plus shipping [free for paying members]. Glasses NOT included. Just the chunky camera type thing…

Sunday is here, August is here, and good until 11:59pm ET (or earlier if sold out) y’all can haz these B&H Photeaux Daily dEalz:

+ HoYa 82mm NXT Plus UV Filter for $47

+ Porta Brace Sack Pack (Small, Black) for $55~

At the Meh website you can haz a 2-pack of Brookstone branded 10W Qi charging pads for $10 plus shipping…

At the Woot dailies there’s tracing pads, Galaxy Tablets (S&D, $105 to $660) and the Apple AirPods MAX headphones for $470 in new condition with a 1-year warranty…

UPDATE: the current Adorama daily deal [changes Monday 10am ET] is the new condition 1TB Samsung T7 USB 3.2 Portable SSD going for $150 with free US shipping… This is in the “titan gray” color scheme. Actual Titans NOT included 😉

We now have a scattered round-up of various daily deals and expiring-soons 🙂

We start with the Adorama daily deal (changes Sunday 10am ET) where you can get the new condition Flashpoint M1 Mini Mobile Phone Flash (A1 Mini) for $15 with free US shipping…

Then at DiscountMAGS we go where the weekend sale theme (ends Monday night actually) is $5 per magazines per year. No camera/photo magazine but there are a few [not a lot like usual] “six degrees of separation” plus a little bit of an A/V theme under “Tech” (Stereophile and Sound-n-Vision [no, not the David Bowie box set])…

Good until August 1st, there’s an automatic in-cart sitewide 20% off discount with free US shipping at the RX Bar online shop. You see the regular price, then add the item(s) of interest to the shopping cart, and the 20% off discount appears there in the shopping cart. Note that some items have “natural flavors”. Note also that they recently expanded their product line-up and some of their new “nut butter packs” look like the RXbars on the flattened screen, so be sure you are buying the RXbars and not the nut-butter-packs [if that’s what you want]… I’ve eaten hundreds of Rxbars and look at where I am [this reads more like an anti-endorsement LOL]. My favorites in no particular order Maple Sea Salt, Dark Chocolate, and Coconut Chocolate… If you are new to this, try the Variety Packs… I haven’t tried any of their “breakfasty” stuff, so I can’t tell you anything about them [let’s not forget that cereal was invented as an anti-viagra way back; are you sure you want to be eating that? LOL {and that’s before we consider GMO, empty refined blood-sugar-spiking carbs, not-really-natural natural flavors, food colorings, food glueware, and other yucky things]

Is this turning into a Foodie Blog? Probably not 🙂 Is it getting more random and out of control? Probably yes 🙂

Then at the Saturday Woot daily deals we go where the headliner is a MacBook/MacMini sale ($520 to $1400), and there’s refurbished iMacs ($350 to $650), Birkenstocks for the corporate hippies, and more 😉

Best advertisement for Macs? A picture of Windows and a picture of a 10-line Linux command line 😉

THEN WE HEAD OFF to the Saturday Best Buy dailies where we find another iteration of the Insignia single-use battery sale, a $950 MSI gaming laptop, a $110 Vankyo mini projector, and such…

Then to the Saturday NewEGG dailies we go where we find a Samsung internal SSD, 12TB Seagate Expansion for $260 AC, LG TV, RAM, car digital meter, and all sorts of other techie thingies…

The Saturday Amazon USA Gold Box has more of a house theme, with offers on Echo Buds, Toshiba Smart Fire TV, under-the-desk elliptical, and more…

FriYAY is here and as usual the B&H Photo daily deals last until SAturday 7/31/21 at 11:59pm ET but orders are not accepted Friday PM thru Saturday PM {check their websight for exacto times):

And just like that, the time has come to recycle my “Thirst-DAY” joke! This round of B&H Photo dailies is good until Thursday 7/29/21 at 11:59pm ET {or earlier IFF (= if and only if) sold-out}:

+ CamBee VL30B 30W Video LED Light for $89

+ GVM GT-120WD Wireless Bluetooth Carbon Fiber Motorized Camera Slider (47″) for $339
