I'd like to find a deal (prime day or elsewhere) for an easy-up type canopy thing with sides or at least with sides you can purchase separately. Can be the normal 10x10 or bigger. I have a couple on my wish list that people in my cookie groups have recommended, I’ll let you know if I get any announcements that they are on sale. This was one that was recommended. It has side walls too and it comes in a bunch of colors. www.amazon.com/GDY-Commercial-Portable-Instant-Waterproof-Canopies-Sidewalls/dp/B085H84JW8

I’m looking for a train table for Nathaniel for Christmas. I want more than a basic one-something that has cool bridges or tunnels or twirly ramps or something. Something like thisI’d also like a new backyard trampoline I wish we lived closer! We have a Lightning McQueen one that has all kinds of ramps and stuff that needs a new home but it’s a beast. And uggh we have a nice trampoline too that our DD never uses and that DH has threatened to sell next spring. ETA: @missjen Your link comes back to this thread...

What are you looking for specifically so we can look out for it? Hello, looking for a good case and a bluetooth connector Thanks! I usually look through all the Nintendo stuff so if I come across either of those I’ll drop a note in here and tag you.

We actually have that table at our shop but N never plays with it because the love of his life is trains and cars just don’t cut it 😂

I need air purifiers. Two small room sizes and then one large room. The options are so confusing so if anyone has recommendations. Someone here (sorry, I can't remember) recommended a guardian air purifier. I got one over the summer and it is fantastic

do you guys think this will be like a Black Friday type sale (ie, Switches, ipads, etc)? I might spring for those type of items (Target sells them, not sure I'd buy that from amazon).

I'm hoping the Instant Pot drops. The Pioneer Woman one is one sale at Walmart but I refuse to put money in that woman's pocket. Ok I'm so curious, what is wrong with Pioneer Woman? Is there a scandal I have missed? She's just always really bothered me. I find her fake.

I'd also like to be able to mail baked goods like quick breads and have them stay fresher while on their way to the recipients. I haven't tried to seal something like that but I would think they would be squished when all the air is sucked out of the bag. elaine might be able to give you more direction. I use it mainly for sealing large (Costco, Sams') purchases of meats. Also, every time I go to Costco I buy a rotisserie chicken and pull all the meat off the bones and freeze in small packages for different recipes such as chicken divan, Chinese chicken salad or chicken noodle soup. I haven't seen if anyone replied about this yet or not, but for 'soft' things, I freeze them first on a cookie sheet and THEN package / vacuum seal the already-frozen item(s). I've frozen and vacuum-sealed raspberries, strawberries, individual muffins,etc. like this and it works. I also vacuum-seal chili, sloppy joes, etc. in the same manner- freeze individual servings in small plastic containers, pop the frozen 'block' of food out of the container, put it (frozen) into a vacuum-sealing bag, and vacuum-seal it with no loss of liquid.

I think she grew up an hour from their farm, so I don't get the Urban clash with country chtick. But that's just me. Anyway, I am looking for a six quart instant pot deal too. I don't think my son in his first college apartment would appreciate the florals.

I love her recipes...saw her on Dr. Oz and she was so nice and down to earth (or so it seems)
Anyway $49 for her 6 qt instant pot on Walmart is quite a deal. I hope Prime Days has a deal so you can get one.

Thank you! I admire the way she has grown her business from a passion. I apologize, picking on her voice seems petty.

I need a bread machine for a Christmas gift and I don't have a clue what to look for as far what a good brand even is if one went on sale. So any help there would be appreciated!

Then when she went on tv she turned me off. I don't hate her or anything but can't listen to her voice and can't watch her.

I'm looking for a good quality portable battery with at least one in/out USB-C port. Look for anything Anker. We buy them almost exclusively. Their cords too.

Zojirushi is the best brand of bread machine. I have this one and love it: www.zojirushi.com/app/product/bbpdcIt is the top of the line. This one is also very good - my neighbors have it: www.zojirushi.com/app/product/bbcec

Thank you. While it makes perfect sense, up until this thread I never realized that soft foods might be “tricky” to seal. Not super thrilled about adding an extra step to freezing, but I’m also tired of ice crystals all over my frozen foods

I’d also like a new backyard trampoline We have the Propel brand and have been happy (it's on Amazon). It's got a lot of use in the last six years. We replaced the mat once and the cover over the springs. We do take it down each winter, but you wouldn't need to do that. If it is windy in your area, the straps with stakes are a must!

I finally decided to get one and I got a good expensive one. They just don’t work right. They’re better than microwaving, but not much. Everybody who keeps telling me that they’re so fabulous has showed me their food and it’s not that fabulous. Make sure that you’ve tried somebody’s and liked it before you buy one and that is my best advice. I actually have not tried one. I've only heard people rave about them. So, hmmmm... I may have to rethink this. My son loves his. He isn't a chef and I think people who don't enjoy cooking get the most use out of them. We have one and I love it for certain things- they are definitely faster than waiting for an oven to heat up. I have made homemade egg rolls and won tons and they were much better in the air fryer than the oven.

And this is why delivery workers end up crying on the side of the road, because of “deals” that Prime Day and Black Friday people fall for. It’s been well researched that the supposed deals offered on those hellish Online shopping days are a farce. Prices jacked up, then artificially offered at an all time low. Check price tracking sites like CamelCamelCamel.com before making your purchases on those days. Be kind to your delivery person. 🙏🏻

My delivery people are the best people.

I have made homemade egg rolls and won tons and they were much better in the air fryer than the oven. I love cooking and cook from scratch the majority of the time and love mine. I just made meatloaf in mine for dinner, it was so good. Moist, yet the outside was crispy in the best possible way.

I am keeping my eyes out for tv deals... My living room tv is a “throwback” smart tv from 2012 and no longer so smart! If you don't want to upgrade just for the smart part we added a Firestick 4K and it works great for us our TV was pre smart TVs. I even use them on our smart TVs as it is easier to use than the clunky "smart TV" as our Visio likes to freeze in Netflix and this solved that problem. The 4K ones are pretty fast and a vast improvement speed wise vs the one we bought a few years ago.
Hubby just bought one for half off so only $25 - it wouldn't let me buy one with the discount as I bought two last year. You can't add the code unless it gives it to you though they are being weird. When I opened it up in the app though it gave me the code then said nope - hubby ordered it just fine.
If this option isn't for you I hope you find a great deal on a new TV.
