I won’t be buying any more junk from Amazon. Mostly, cause it’s junk. Secondarily, because I ain’t sending any change to that #### hole country wherever I can avoid it.

The 80v batteries are also on sale right now. Costco also had the matching blower, string trimmer and a battery for $300. Might still be around.

I just find the freedom of not having product reviews in your face when just shopping irl a lot nicer. Less of the analysis paralysis feeling.

Just bought a puzzle from a cool book store in Cook Street Village, Victoria.
Oh, you meant on Prime Day from Amazon...

Was thinking of maybe trying one of these, not sure how good they are at blowing off a car after washing it but thought it might work for when I just want to do a quick spray:

I saw the Gourmia version of the Ninja slushie/ice cream machine in Costco for $200 and was tempted.
I have found some stuff that I was sitting on the fence about buying from Amazon, but I found lots of things at the SuperBinz behind Krispy Kreme. You would be AMAZED at what you find! Hahahaha!

Not sure if that is big enough for a car but I grabbed another one of these to replace the old school pressurized air canisters for cleaning out things like the dusty PC case.

I grabbed this one months ago after going through many (non-Amazon) reviews. It's fantastic. Not sure I'd want to dry a car with it, but it's super useful for other things. Even used it to blow up some balloons.

On Amazon? Thats ambitious and a set up for potentially the best Amazon delivery of all time.

I bought this duster/blower from MemEx years ago. It works great.

Samsung Galaxy, switching from 10 years of iPhones.
No real reason for the change. Just want to see what's going on on the other side.

Also, they don't seem to sell new iPhones on Amazon.

I prefer to craft my own goods. Buying local is a sham when you can just make your own TV. Also, hemp fibre is surprisingly useful.

Bought some gift cards for clothes for my kids for the Gap. Those were 20% of and can be combined with other sales. My youngest kid is 7 months old and loves to eat. He goes through clothes so quick that quality isn't so much an issue as getting ever increasing sizes.
