NEW VIDEO ALERT 📽️
Testing 3 Kitchen Gadgets!

Today, I’m testing three unique kitchen tools: one for keeping your stovetop clean, one for staying organized while prepping food, and one that’s just plain fun!

Here’s what I tested:

🍳 Splatter Dom: A collapsible cover that supposedly stops grease splatter. But does it actually work?
🔪 Food Prep Bowls: A set of stackable bowls designed to fit under your cutting board. Handy or unnecessary?
🐥 Peeps Dash Mini Waffle Maker: Make Peeps-themed waffles! Fun Easter treat or just another gimmick?

Click below to see how these gadgets performed and find out which ones (if any) might deserve a spot in your kitchen!

DEALS 🏷️
💾Samsung Portable Drive: 52% Off

As someone who generates a ridiculous amount of data every month, I’m always on the hunt for cheap and reliable storage solutions. This Samsung portable drive caught my eye because it’s currently at the lowest price I’ve seen in at least three months. If you need a name-brand storage solution, this one’s worth considering.

🔋Anker 10,000 mAh Power Bank: 50% Off

Right now, this Anker power bank is just under $13, which is a steal for this much power packed into a compact, well-known brand. Need even more capacity? The 20,000 mAh model is also on sale for 32% off.

🧹Tineco Wet-Dry Vac: 34% Off

I spotted a lot of Shark vacuums on "sale" this week, but most of them were price-hiked before the markdown (so, not real deals). This Tineco wet-dry vac, however, is actually a deal. At $299, it’s the lowest price I’ve seen in at least three months. If you’re after a high-quality cordless wet-dry vac, this is one to check out.

ON THIS DATE 🗓️
SnapGrip (2023)

Two years ago today, I tested the SnapGrip, a gadget that boldly claimed to “turn your phone into a DSLR.” While that might have been a bit of a stretch, it was still an interesting piece of tech to try.

Its phone grip felt a little iffy at times, but I found it useful on rare occasions, especially when I needed to film with my phone and the battery was running low. Does it truly transform a smartphone into a DSLR? Not quite. But it’s still on the market, and if you missed my review the first time around, it’s worth a look!

📺 My March 2025 Giveaway is live! This month, I’m giving away a 7-Speed KitchenAid Hand Mixer, a solid kitchen upgrade that normally retails for around $80!

If you could use a new mixer (or just love free stuff), be sure to enter for your chance to win.

SMART SHOPPING 🛒
Three Tips for Wiser Shopping

Beware of Artificially Inflated Discounts. Check the product’s price history before buying. Some retailers raise prices just before a sale to make discounts look larger than they are (as the Shark vacs appear to be this week, discussed above).

Beware of Drip Pricing. Some retailers show a low price upfront but add hidden fees at checkout. Always check the final total before purchasing.

Don't buy on a whim. Just because something is marked down, that still doesn't mean you need it!
