Cheapest I’m seeing right now is $15.26. May have been a price mistake that was quickly corrected.

So are they finally sending out these credits? It’s been delayed a couple times.

Is this just Episode 1 or the whole season? I’m still seeing a request for $20 for the whole season, but I can get Episode 1 for free.

Deal is dead. Showing $59.99 now.

Used. My kids thank you for Sonic Mania Plus, which they mysteriously love more than any other game out there. Go figure.

Anyone know if Steam sells Oculus Go games? I’ve tried figuring it out and since I can’t seem to track any down, I believe the answer is “No”. But would love to be wrong and have Steam shut up and take my money.

I ordered a bunch. In for a cancellation, but I like lottery tickets I don’t have to pay for.

Just bought this damn thing yesterday from Best Buy after price-shopping to Amazon. Grrrr.

Great deal OP.

All right, so I’ve tried the double filet-o-fish and the buttermilk chicken sandwich as well.

All 3 items (including QPC) can be summed as:

• Waaaaaaaaaaaaay better than I remember them tasting 20 years ago
• Still not as good as BK/Wendy’s/5 Guys/whatever
• Still waaaaaaaaaay cheaper than the alternatives, so guess where I’m eating until September 30th rolls around

I’ll try to hit all the majors on their menu. If one is particularly good, I’ll give a heads up.

My wife was told that the chicken sandwich was almost as good as CFA. Her rating: Pretty good, but not in the same stratosphere as CFA.

But (note the theme) for $1 she’ll be eating it again.

@tuskers Link is broken. Do you have a different one?

Another $1.25 off a disc. Works through Sunday.

@fivetalents Thanks for the info.

In the immoral words of Randy Jackson, yeah, it’s gonna be a no from me dawg.

Anyone know if you can buy a bear for $15? Or more directly, what’s the cheapest price net of the coupon for a bear… any bear?

#HailCorporate alert

Quarter pounder is totally worth it for $1. I haven’t tried a QPC in 15 years because the frozen version was between mediocre and bad.

This is still not as good as a Whopper or Wendy’s burger. But it’s close. And it’s $1. Most people will be happy to save $2 or so from buying elsewhere.

Note that a QPC is 510 calories so those of us trying to lose weight will need to keep that in mind.

@openupyoureyes Didn’t have time for a movie but awesome post. Thanks for your generosity.

Anyone tried this? How does it taste vs. regular ice cream?

I tried to use Masterpass - my password and whatnot is fine - but it kept choking on the final step and getting error messages. Anyone else having issues?

Used. Thanks @colewj !

@fivetalents Here’s just one example: 5 cartridges for $6.86 shipped. It’s what I bought about a month ago.

https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00PF9C6GM/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1

@fivetalents I buy mine from Amazon, but eBay has them a little cheaper still. I prefer 2 day shipping though so I pay $0.25-$0.30 more per cartridge.

I own 2 of these. Gave one to my Mom, who is 90.

Great cheap printers. Generic cartridges can be bought for around $1.25/cartridge. Easy to use. No frills and low featured - perfect for someone who just wants to make a photocopy or print something out once in a while.

Banner Saga 1 and 2 are great games if you’re into that sort of thing. Played BS1 a long time ago and am glad I can try out BS2 for free. Thanks OP.

Most styles are OOO except Nutcrackers and St. Patrick’s Day ones.

Decent deal if you buy at least 2-3 pairs. Comes out to about $10 each with shipping and tax.

I literally received this Saturday. 8 pack Ice Mountain coupon. Gold foil across the top. Expires 12/31/18.

Watch your mailbox - it looks kind of like junk mail but has messaging about the free water on the envelope.

If anyone is lazy and just wants the game for free - and it’s a pretty good game - here’s a code.

Please respond when you’ve redeemed it so others don’t try without success.

Got my $80 gift card yesterday. Looks like they sent them all out at the same time.

Make sure to use their “Will my device work?” function.

I’m on Sprint and have a Sprint SIM. My device is definitely unlocked - I bought it outright - and yet it says my phone doesn’t qualify.

It’s an iPhone 6s in case it matters.

Just tried it and it worked. Easy as pie. You’ll need to log in of course.

Thanks @ctujackbauer

If you decide to go 100% stocks, just know that the maximum (reasonably conservative) decline you can expect at any one point in time is probably around 50%.

Is that likely? Not at all. Is it feasible? Indeed.

People love investing in all stocks until the market turns, they lose 20-25% in value (a VERY real outcome) and then they sell because they “can’t afford to lose any more”.

If you can honestly say you’d hold tight under losing 30% or 35% of the portfolio, have at a 100% stock position.

Otherwise, consider adding a significant dollop of bonds.

** Disclaimer: IANA RIA, and I’m certainly not your RIA. Stocks could go up 50% this year, down 60%, anywhere in between, or more or less.

Ha, I can’t tell if this will be awesome or cringeworthy. Either way, it’s worth a watch.

I just went to look up the results for Vanguard Healthcare.

Congrats to whoever invested in them for the past 20 years - the annualized return has been a whopping 16%(!!!) over the past 30 years.

The problem is that once everyone realizes this and piles in, it gets much harder to maintain.

The 1 year return is 2 points behind a much-lower risk index.

Vanguard’s fund description:

"For more than 25 years, this actively managed fund has offered investors low-cost exposure to domestic and foreign companies involved in various aspects of the health care industry, such as pharmaceutical firms, medical supply companies, and research firms. The fund tends to be more geographically diverse and exhibit lower turnover than other health care funds. Still, one risk to note is the fund’s narrow scope, investing solely within the health care sector. Returns may vary widely from year to year, so this fund should be considered complementary to an already diversified portfolio with a long-term time horizon.

I am not an RIA.

He has two investments, neither of which is really suitable. Money Market is too conservative for a 10 year investment. Health Care is too aggressive - he’s betting on one segment (that has done exceptionally well historically) to continue to do so. Ask those who invested in Fidelity Japan how that worked out back in the 90s.

My belief is that he should be in a 40/60 split of Vanguard Total Market and Vanguard Total Bond. Risk tolerance is a big factor here - if he can handle the potential that he could lose a little money over 10 years vs. a much more likely strong gain, then he could nudge that to 50/50 or even 60/40. But the higher than ratio, the higher the risk.

Today, the risk is absurdly high.

Also, note that since you mentioned that funds would be invested outside of retirement accounts that Vanguard Total Stock Market is highly tax efficient. I don’t invest in bonds outside of my retirement account, so he’d have to do a little leg work to see what his net tax rate would be on the bond portion. If it’s high, he should look at the Tax-Managed or Municipal bond offerings, although those have a bit of concentration risk as well.

Hope this helps.

@mrvietnam If you’re worried, I recommend using eBates in the future. Sure, it’s only 3% vs. 4%, but on $60 we’re talking $0.60. And I’ve had zero problems with getting cash back from them. I’ve heard Mr. Rebates is also good but haven’t used them in a while.

Anyone know if I need to submit this rebate twice (one for each ream) or if it automatically submits for both reams if purchased on the same receipt?

Gave it a + even though the price is $80. With the URHOLIDAY $15 off $60 code from Chase (use at least $0.01 in Chase points to redeem), this made this a still smokin’ hot $65 + tax. Thanks OP.

Have you actually seen the movie? I have. It’s crap on the level of Zeitgeist.

Michael Moore’s movies tend to be well rated. And for the same reason.

Confirmed fraud. Amazon already refunded my purchase - sounds like they’ve had a lot of these.
