Not quite the $5 deal from several months ago, and yet another victim of the “Incredible Shrinking Grocery Ray” (30.5oz -> 25.9oz).
Interesting that Staples didn’t bother to change the URL for it, which has “Regular-30-5-oz-Can” in it, lol.
At least they updated the picture of it, showing 25.9oz.
Got the $12.50 promotional credit with a $50 gift card purchase, but NOT by manually entering that EGCPRIME22 code.
Instead (as a Prime member), I simply went to the main Amazon gift card page, amazon.com/gift-cards/
At the top is a banner "PRIME DAY EXCLUSIVE, Get up to 25% off on select gift cards or reloads"
Clicked on the banner, and next page was “Get a $12.50 promo credit with a $50+ Amazon eGift Card”, with a little button “Apply code to your account”
(and it shows that code EGCPRIME22 as what is being applied)
Then bought a $50 Amazon card for email delivery to myself, got it, along with a message that the $12.50 promotional credit was coming in 2 days.
I think it may have been also doable with just a $50 reload to my Amazon account; however, I didn’t see the promotional credit mentioned that way.
YMMV as always
@ctgolfer I was only offered a one month free trial too. But unlike MrVietnam, I can’t remember any time being a YouTube paid customer…?
@marvomatic Yeah, most appliances want a ground wire. But a polarized plug is important on two-wire cords with things like lamps, especially.
Otherwise, with a non-polarized plug, the lamp is potentially a shock hazard. Basically a 50/50 chance of that, depending on how you plugged it in.
Plugged in “wrong”, the lamp switch turns on/off the neutral wire, leaving the lamp socket base “hot”. Easy to get shocked changing bulbs!
Btw there are tons of older vintage lamps out there still with non-polarized plugs.
Worse, places like Lowe’s still sell replacement non-polarized plug ends, to “fix” older lamps!
@marvomatic Polarized outputs just means the two different slot sizes in each output receptacle, where the longer slot is for the neutral wire, and the shorter slot is for the “hot” (120V) wire.
Almost all modern 120V devices with a two-wire cord have a polarized plug end, by design.
It’s a safety thing, as the “hot” wire is the one that should be switched on/off, and not the neutral wire (which btw, is connected to ground back at the service entrance).
However, both wires in these 2-wire cords conduct current, when on.

My love/hate relationship with Lowe’s continues. I wish there was a Menards store nearby, or even a Home Depot store…
Does anybody recall past months that Staples offered “Double Ink Rewards”?
I’m holding onto some (20) ink cartridges that I need to turn in this month.
From what I remember, in the past, Staples announced these towards the end of the month.
So now I typically wait near the end of each month before I bring my next batch of 20 into the store…
@hbg1 Same thing for me–I had to look for this deal on the big, mean, deal site and use the link there.
The free shipping bit is the possible attraction for me, although it’s tough to go against Amazon Prime.
Here’s hoping this isn’t the death knell for BB&B, like SYWR points were for Kmart/Sears!
@mistercheap Wonder if the free Walmart+ trial is doable if you already did another (previous) free 90 day trial?
Probably not, going by how it works on similar free trials with Amazon (Music, Kindle Unlimited, etc)…
