#5-superspreader edition

Oct 05, 2020

Hi all! Hope you’ve all been well. Turns out it’s hard to make time for a hobby newsletter with a full time job and full time news addiction. So thanks for sticking with me! This edition is jam-packed!

A quick reminder that today is the voter registration deadline in several states. vote.org should have all the info you need!

Totally Unnecessary Things

What are your shower habits? Listening to the latest jams? Podcasts? News? Contemplating the meaning of life? This Kohler/Harman Kardon showerhead is a total indulgence but pretty cool. The speaker docks magnetically and recharges for up to 9 hours of use. 199.99 in the warehouse and online with 2.99 for shipping.

We’re Still Talking About Jackets

There are some great jackets in the warehouse right now! Here’s one of our readers in the Pendleton rain coat which is also available online!

Last weeks 32 degrees jacket is on sale for 19.99 and finally………

THE BEST COAT I HAVE EVER BOUGHT IS BACK. This Marmot down jacket has lots of pockets, is not too heavy and very warm. In fact, 5 of my friends bought this jacket after they saw mine. That’s how good it is! 129.99, more expensive online although it is not available online yet.

Pie is Self-Care

There’s a lot going on in the world right now. I think the best way to deal with it is to buy a 3.6 pound pumpkin pie for 5.99, don’t you?

Thanks to our reader who shared this great article sharing all the secrets of the Costco pumpkin pie. Get yourself a can of whipped cream and turn off the news.

Best of the Book

There's a lot of good stuff in this month's coupon book. I also want to tell you things I’ve tried that I didn’t necessarily think were the greatest!

The Good

Chefman electric kettle, 24.99 : I can’t believe it took me this long to get on the electric kettle bandwagon. A great way to update your home office tea game.
Mikasa lazy susan, 23.99: Use it for practical purposes on the kitchen or dining table, or for holiday decor
Dare cracker variety pack: Combine this with the latest Kirkland brand cheese board and you are good to go. You could even line the lazy susan with parchment paper and use it as your cheese board!
Ferrero Rocher: pretty much the perfect chocolate. individually wrapped for our pandemic times, great for gifting. Always stock up.
Tiramisu cups: Also a great individual dessert for your next socially distanced gathering. The cups are glass which is great for sustainability.
Cuisinart Air Fryer toaster oven: please pray for my 20 year old toaster oven to break(without a fire or anything like that) so I can upgrade!

The Not So Good

Spinach Egg White Frittatas: I thought these were bland to be honest.
Cauliflower Crust Pizzas: A lot of people like these, but it’s the farts for me. I just can’t.handle.the.farts.
Ubio Charging Pad: I prefer the charging stand as it can sometimes be difficult to get your phone to sit on the pad properly to charge.
Sonoma Gourmet Kale Cheddar Pesto sauce: I liked this, but one of our readers did not so we’ll call it a plus/minus
Sukhi’s Chicken Coconut Curry with Mango: Normally I love almost all Sukhi’s products but this one did not do it for me. I would however check out the samosa variety pack as well as the coconut mango chicken meatballs, if they ever come back. They were previously a roadshow product so not sure when they might return!
Moon Cheese: Keto diets have really created a moment for dehydrated cheese but there’s only so much you can eat, you know?

Baby Come Back

If you see this adjustable height desk, run, don’t walk! For 299.99 you are unlikely to find a desk with as many features. It now includes a wireless charging pad and still has extra USB ports. They are sold out in many stores because everyone is working from home until the end of time, but we have heard restocks are on the way.
