I actually got another one of these before the deal ran out. Seems rare for me!

I actually got one before it reverted back to the regular price.

I misread the sign yesterday when I was in Lowe’s. I thought it was save $5 OFF $500 and I thought “Big Deal, 1% discount”. Doh!

I realize I’m not too smart but I’m seeing 10% not 20%. Something else I must do or offer reduced?

@ctcarl It was $3.30 plus $1.30 for postage = $4.60 less the $3 discount for a TOTAL of $1.60 shipped. Received mine a day late (Priority mail) .

I bought the 6 forever stamps posted elsewhere. Not as almost free as others but still deal for me.

Just grabbed this. I rarely mail things but working out to .27 cents per stamp I figured why not.

I just sort of figured out the formula and created a really simply spreadsheet and it looks even with adding the prior months Interest into the principal and compute the next month interest on increased balance it still is less at the end of 12 months than the CD. I guess I needed a reminder of the definition of “APR”

I readily admit I’m not the smartest person AND I’ve attempted to research the question. Please be gentle. In any case…a person wants to compare how much interest would be earned/paid when comparing a Savings Account vs 1 yr CD. Say a Savings Account shows 2.2% vs. High-Yield 1 yr CD of 2.75%. Both compound daily yet the CD only pays the interest at the end of the term and the Savings Account credits/deposits the earnings monthly. Presume money won’t be needed for the term of the CD so gut response would be buy CD for higher yield. However, I feel the compounding effect of the Savings account, each month increasing balance, would reduce the benefit of the slightly increased interest rate. I’ve attempted to find a formula to compare but have been unable to do so. Perhaps I’m not seeing how to look at this but really I’ve tried. Even broke out the spreadsheet and played. Thoughts?

First tablet I ever bought was a Hisense Sero 7 pro from WalMart. I believe they were the exclusive vendor for the product and sort of equated Hisense with WalMart like Insignia with Best Buy. Worked great until one day it wouldn’t power up. Still have it and will explore further at some point (already checked battery).

I guess I contributed to their demise as I’ve not been inside one of their stores for years and years. One more soon to be vacant store in my closest mall.

I’m also getting the 404 error so manually went into liftmaster.com and searched for the product model number. I found this:
888LM Quality Program:
*We have resolved the loss of function affecting some of our LiftMaster 888LM Control Panels. These units were packed in with garage door opener models 8500 and 8500C, and/or sold as an accessory, such as MYQPCK.

While the incidents of improperly functioning units are low, we are extending the warranty for affected customers until September 2023.*

For any customer who wishes to receive a replacement 888LM Control Panel for free, please use the following link to complete the form: Request Replacement 888LM.
The link mentioned above generates the same error.
I suspect if/when they fix the link folks will need to contact the company directly. Perhaps they received more requests than actual product ever sold. A derivative of the old “Fat Wallet Forum” effect.

@jcantanixon Was that some sort of “deal of the day” or similar? I just checked and see it’s $29.97 locally. I’ll keep checking.

I ordered this morning and no mention of the Extra Bucks on the emailed statement. Was this some prior offer or did I need to do something to join the program??

Whatever it is (Smith’s is showing the coffee) at least any freebie is back.

@rick505 Mine showed up several days ago and like others way too small other than for a lady or perhaps older child.

I wonder if these will be sent out automatically to Ambassadors like previous year gifts?

Must be an investment piece…when I clicked the link, mine shows $10.99.

Whoa----Usually ships within 1 to 3 months.

Aw crap…Either deal dead or I clicked the wrong button. Teach me to look before clicking. I guess a $4.19 lesson is cheap enough.

Like you stated, might be Select accounts. I even signed in (Yes, I have an account) and didn’t see any BIC stuff listed. Oh well, I’ll review others shown to me. Thanks.

I’ve used BofA Shop Safe several times especially on recurring payments type sites/purchases. Glad I did when I tried a low cost Cell Service that is known for continuing to charge even after cancellation along with non existent customer service. Yep, they tried to charge me for at least two months of service but I had created a $5 credit limit card number. Sorry mor info than requested. So, Yes I use/have used these services.

How can I get some FREE stuff?

Easy. Go to one of our product pages and write a product review (good or bad) of an item you own or have used before, along with #shirt. We’ll send you a free TreeStuff shirt. Remember to include “#Shirt”, your US mailing address, and your shirt size in the text of the review. This is how we find your review and send out your shirt, so you must include #Shirt to receive a free shirt.

If you send us a video review of a product, we’ll give you a $10 TreeStuff Gift Certificate! http://www.treestuff.com/news.asp?news_id=2201

It’s already not functioning properly so pull the battery to shut it down. Depending on the make/model entering BIOS is often via different keys. Most common is Delete key, Sometimes one of the “F” keys (F2 seems popular) while powering up. I’m suspecting something corrupted in Win7. Normally one asks if there have been any programs installed recently that might have caused the issue but it appears your shut down issue has been around and now gotten worse.

Good idea but apparently based on your utility company.

Still showing original price for me. Off for the search.

Stumbled across this just now. You can buy LastPass Premium at the HumbleBundle store for $6/year. Worked like a charm for me.

Initially this went in and out of stock pretty quickly. I missed out and then was stuck in logon hell when Amazon site was acting up and that issue was reported elsewhere. Later in the day I tried, via phone app, and it allowed me to put 2 in my cart. I emptied cart and was allowed to add just the one I wanted. I settled for the advertised price and did not attempt any other price reductions. So far so good. If you see any other “deals” today and have issues keep trying.

Another reason for me to loose weight! Mine were full price and in only two colors.

Dang it…I need to start checking earlier:

Out of stock online

This product isn’t currently sold in stores

What do you bet that I see at least one person selling these on eBay in a few weeks??

For those who missed out, don’t sweat it. I confirmed the capacity using one of the tools that wrote and read the entire card, then reformatted fine. Put it into a tablet and it showed needing a format. Odd, but OK as it would never format in tablet (Windows 10). Put card into full size SD adapter and attempted to format in a Win 10 desktop and it always failed. Attempted to place in a USB adapter and it snapped in half. Disappointed and won’t even attempt to return due to physical damage. I think this is the first time I ever snapped a Micro-SD card in half.

@fivetalents I didn’t but item already shipped. Well, Tracking code issues…

Before folks start complaining, I’ve used these in multiple places around my house for a couple years as I purchase them whenever I see them on sale (Black Friday, etc). Yes, non-dimmable but great for regular use and they are still going strong.

In for one also…now scrounging around their site for any other “deals” to add on.

Oh great!! I just finished a container of said items a couple days ago. First I wonder how long before symptoms appear and then figure/hope it wasn’t from Caito of Indianapolis when I bought it in New Mexico at Albertsons. Another reason I should listen to my inner cheap self and buy the whole melon and cut it up instead of paying more for pre-cut pieces.

I’ll have to try later. My initial attempt generates a “Save Failed” twice, apparently without attaching proof of purchase.

Aw Poo…
Due to overwhelming demand, Popular Mechanics is currently out of stock.

Probably not the strongest reply especially at PhatWallet but why not split the difference and just round up your monthly payment so extra can be applied to principal each month?? I suspect at least one other person will lay out the math behind their response more succinctly but this has worked for me. How far you “round up” will be your decision but that way you still have cash and you can see your balance decrease more quickly.

I’d go to antennaweb.org and enter your address. It will show a map image of the directions to your broadcasting stations. Not sure why it worked in the past and not now but the breakup and no longer received is probably a lack of signal strength issue. I somewhat doubt the station reduced power or moved antenna but I guess it’s possible.
