Amazon Advent 2024 Calendars

Did not realize that even with filters, I’d end up with over 3,000 Amazon Advent calendar choices!  If you and yours enjoy the excitement of a daily surprise, there is certain to be a clever one (or 10) to choose from.

Prime Big Deal Days are coming

I’m linking to Amazon’s main Daily Deals page because there’s just too much stuff here to even think about: mattresses, comforters, vacuums, vacuums with pet clippers attached, instant read meat thermometers … you get the idea.  Also, if you’re even considering an Amazon Prime membership, take advantage of the 30 day trial and you’ll be able to shop Prime Days and check out their streaming shows.  See if you can slide into one of their discounted categories and pay less for a membership 🙂

Student or 18-24? 1/2 price Prime

Amazon Prime Day – the madness begins

Image of dark blue Amazon delivery vehicle with grey circle backgroundSeems like there was a bigger whoop-de-do in prior years – even DH isn’t excited, and he loves all things Amazon-delivered!  While they have some nice discounts, many are of the moving fast, limited time variety, so here’s a link to the Main Page, where you can sort out all your fantasies … or not.

clearance at Jewel & Amazon Fresh

Figured we’d hit up Jewel for the Saturday freebies … on the off-chance they had a clearance cart out – which they did!!!  Pita grabbed her beloved Zevia soda at 75%.  Needed half and half, but there was no way I was paying $7.49 a half gallon, although I’d get a discount by buying THREE.  Even I am not that nuts, so we headed over to Amazon Fresh, where it was $5.49 🙂  They had more of the Chobani creamer on 98¢ clearance, so threw six into the cart.  May dates mean Pita will be through them long before, since she’s already used one of the nine bought last Sunday.  Also had short-dated (March 3) Silk organic for only $1.49, so that went into the cart as well; Pita has been eating cereal a few times a week lately.

Amazon Fresh 1/3: $10 off $50

The Amazon Fresh ad for 1/03 is offering a $10 off $50 coupon for Prime members and $5 for the non-Prime shoppers.  Nothing super big jumps out at me, but your needs are probably different. Probably my only recommendation is to break down your transactions into $50 lots in case only $10 comes off in total – that’ll fix ’em!

Amazon Fresh 12/27: prepared foods q

The Amazon Fresh ad for 12/27 is offering a $10 off $40 worth of prepared foods coupon:  pizza, soup, all the hot buffet.  Lots of deals on snack-y things for New Year parties … or just for enjoying lots of those little hot dogs by yourself 🙂

Ring Video Doorbell – $54.99!

Choice of two finishes – this is the latest version, not an old model!

Amazon Fresh 12/20: good ad + 20% q

The Amazon Fresh ad for 12/20 is offering a 20% coupon for Prime and 10% for non-.  Good to save on stock up items, like toilet paper, paper towels and dish soap.  50% off cheese is awesome, and 99¢ carrots means roasted veggies at holiday tables.  Extra-large brown eggs, DiGiorno pizza and more – pretty good ad!

Stopped in the other day to return an Amazon purchase and was given a QR code for $2 off a $10 purchase.  Grabbed two HB half gallons of half & half at $5.39 each; Jewel’s Lucerne shelf price is $7.49.  Total BS, right?, since both are private labels.
