DEALS 🏷️
🍿West Bend Stir Crazy Popper: 20% Off

I first tested this classic popcorn popper back in 2021, and it’s still my go-to popper, even after reviewing plenty of others. This is their latest spin on a design that’s been around for decades, and at 20% off, it might be the perfect time to grab it if you’ve been on the fence.

🐾 Waterproof Pet Blanket – 50% Off
These are fantastic for keeping your furniture safe from pet mayhem. I’ve used them myself, and they hold up great. Today’s price is the lowest I’ve seen in 8 months, and since it’s a Limited Time Deal, I wouldn’t wait too long.

🔪 Fantasy Colorful Knives – 58% Off
These knives are not exactly subtle, but definitely fun. These bold “space pattern” knives are eye-catching and currently marked down to around $21. With a 4.8-star rating and thousands of reviews, they might just be your next conversation-starting kitchen set.

Declutter Rules of Thumb
If you haven’t used a product in 2 years, get rid of it!
If you haven’t worn a clothing item in 4 years, donate it!

ON THIS DATE 🗓️
Strange Amazon Gadgets (2024)

Testing interesting finds from Amazon.

Exactly one year ago today, I reviewed a surprisingly useful set of Amazon gadgets, and they’re still worth a look:

🔋 An adapter that lets you use AAA batteries in AA slots
🥤 A snack cup that holds both your drink and your snack in one hand
📱 A wristband phone holder for hands-free use
🧻 A paper towel dispenser with a built-in spray pump

If you missed this lineup the first time around, now’s a great time to revisit it — these gadgets might just earn a spot in your daily routine.

Until next time,
