Cool Things for Sale on Amazon - May Edition
While we’ll go where the action is for movies - Amazon Prime, Hulu, NETFLIX, and best of all, our local theater - we are fans of Amazon for general shopping, especially e-books and audiobooks.
From time-to-time we’ll drop a few items here that we found on sale there and that we though were pretty cool.
Mosteck LED Tactical Flashlight - High Lumen, Zoomable, 5 Modes, Water Resistant, Handheld Light - Best Camping, Outdoor, Emergency, Everyday Flashlights (18650 Battery & USB Charger Included)
I picked this up a month ago for about $35. Checking it out today (18 May) it looks like it’s on sale for about $21. It’s a pretty cool light, ‘though I don’t use it day-to-day. My main reason for purchasing was to fill out my emergency survival bag. I’m hopeful I’ll have to eat old MREs before I break this out except to charge it.
Moleskine Cahier Journal, Soft Cover, Large (5" x 8.25") Squared/Grid, Kraft Brown, 80 Pages (Set of 3)
I got hooked on these in Afghanistan. They are - at least for me - the perfect size to jot notes and a big help in keeping me organized. I also like to write with big clunky Sharpies and the ink doesn’t bleed through. A bundle of three goes for about $13.
Sharpie 30075PP Permanent Markers, Fine Point, Assorted Colors, 12 Count
I own an embarrassingly large number of Sharpies. Black, Red, Blue, Green: they are my preferred writing instrument. Although useful if you need to change the direction of a weather front, I prefer them because my fingers are prone to cramp when writing and using something a bit bigger than a standard pen is easier on my hands. An 8 color multi-pack runs me about $8 bucks and will cover me for around two months.
SCORDERS USB Flash Drive (1 TB) High-Speed Data Storage Thumb Stick | Store Movies, Pictures, Documents | PC, Smartphone, Mac Support (Silver)
Does anybody even use thumb drives anymore? I’m not sure, but I like to keep one or two handy as a back up to my back up back up. This was about $35. It’s pretty cool - about an inch and a half long and easy to put on a key chain if you’re into that sort of accessorizing.
Bamboo Cay Men's Floral Embroidered Short Sleeve Button Down Shirt
Where you may ask (or probably not) do I get all my shirts? I pick up the majority from Bamboo Cay. They are a little pricy - usually $70 or so - but super high quality and they last forever. I retired one a month ago after it accompanied me through eight years in Afghanistan, two in Korea, and two in the U.S.
Ok - enough shopping for now. Back to the movie review business!
