What's everyone's Prime Day haul?
by Allumeuse (2019-07-15 15:55:20)

I haven't bought anything yet, or may not--the Amazon deals are on a lot of things I don't really want or need.

Some of the other retailers trying to compete with them are intriguing...plus the fact that Rakuten is offering some crazy cash back for some, obviously timed for Prime Day means I will likely end up buying something from someone.

My wife never wants to charge her phone using an outlet so we suck those things dry pretty quickly.

a right-wing extremist group this week.

I'm honestly impressed, I thought our right-wing nut-jobs were well armed, but they just got shown up by the Italians, of all people.


It was a 40 year old missile without a warhead.

Still...pretty impressive work for three far right Italians.


A Sous vide device and instant Pot. The Times Food

Section last week convinced me to buy the Sous vide thing. The price of the Instant Pot was too good to pass on. ($55).

Plus an air fryer. I still feel like that isn't that bad. Last year I got a Waterpik and Sonicare, so it is almost like I have a theme each year.


already had the air fryer. U will like it. *

Sous vide is a tool of the devil

Meat cooked in a plastic bag? Why eat plastic particles when the carbon from a grill is so much tastier?

My aversion to sous vide is more a knock on my BIL. He’s quite the renaissance man but my brother and I give him shit (behind his back of course) about that cooking technique.

Carry on. What he’s prepared that I’ve had wasn’t half bad.




$55/oz. That's a great price.

I've never heard the term before, but I assume "instant pot" means that removing stems and seeds is not required.

Lots of good sous vide advice, especially by Kenji López-Alt, on Serious Eats.


Thanks. Kenji’s Very good. *

primary food prep devices in our house. Takes a little while to build up a recipe collection, but after that it's great. If you don't already have one, a vacuum sealer is probably next. Sous vide in Ziploc bags works, but the sealer is much easier.


Thanks. *

It seems the listing is now $139 for the Ring and Dot and $169 with the Ring 2 and Dot.


Yep - I actually got the Ring2+Dot for $139 on Sunday

They started that sale early. I had been watching, since I knew the Ring 2 was what I wanted (Costco had it for $189 w/1 year of the premium service - value $100). The Dot was just a bonus tossed in, since the $139 was a great price already - and they are still selling just the Ring 2 for that much today (Tuesday).
