Question

Some deals say "Starts at 6:40" or whatever. If you click on it and it gives you a price, is that the price it will be at 6:40 is the price at 6:40 going to be lower?

We have the Echo and got the lightbulbs in our kitchen, living room and in the living room lamps. It is super convenient for the lamps, especially. The lightbulbs can also dim so you can ask her to dim or brighten them as needed. We also love to use it to order things on Amazon that we often order, such as dog food. We just ask her to order dog food, she repeats our last order and asks if that is what we want and we say yes and DONE. Talk about easy as hell.

The Instant Pot for 60 or whatever is still the best deal.

Best thing I have ever purchased and I have two of them

I'm not being a jerk or whatever. I am curious why you bought 2 firesticks and 2 android boxes.

You seem to really like the android boxes, what is the reason for not getting 4 of those?

I assume the Firestick has some of its own features?

I agree. I got the Instant Pot last year and use it all the time. I've told a few people to get it. It is also something they seem to have plenty of and don't run out.

I have always wanted a $100 diaper bag!

Overall the deals are terrible from what I've seen. Good opportunity to pick up an Amazon tablet/echo/fireTV if you are already interested, but that's about it.

Haha, I can see how some would assume that, but this is different. Often people have so many kitchen appliances they never even use.. this thing does it all and we use it literally every day.. it's so simple.. there's so much you can do with it, but the pressure cooking is amazing.. and the cool thing about this one is it's stainless steel so it's safer for your health.. the ones that try to compare on tv are not stainless steel.

Food Saver for $53 is a pretty good deal.

LINK

it's 69

it's normally over 100. about 120

amazon is so great though. you can always return stuff super simple within 30 days.

i like to use the saute option to cook chopped onions and peppers.. then i'll add add say gumbo or whatever and just cook on saute.. it has a safety feature to turn off saute after 30 minutes but you can just turn it back on.

the pressure cooking though is just amazing.. you can even put frozen chicken or whatever and press the button after you put the top part in sealing position.. and it comes out fantastic.

I've clicked the instant pot a couple times.

What do you cook in it that I can't do in the oven, in a cast iron pot, etc?

Not sure what you mean. When I said it is something they have plenty of and don't run out I was referring to Amazon. It isn't one of their deals that is gone in 10 seconds. Is that what you were commenting on?

You can cook anything in the oven or on the stove that you cook in an instant-pot but that is not the point. It can do it in in 1/2 the time or 1/8 of the time depending on what you are making. You can also do your sauteeing in it so no need to dirty multiple pots and pans.

Buy Firestick for $30.

Load Kodi on it

Sell on FB swap sites for $75

Literally profit.
