Mid-week Amazon Deals: Ladders, pressure cookers, DC toys, Scribblenauts, more!
( Deals from yesterday that are still active include lots of magazine subscriptions, CSI, MP3s, Professor Layton, kitchen stuff, and more. Monday deals that are still active include Kindle books, Stargate, Disney Blu-Ray deals, M*A*S*H, TV Westerns, Batman: Arkham City, and more,)
Not a lot of great ones today (although the continuing ones are just fine). The fact that I'm posting these this late should give you a sense of how my day's going.
The Deal of the Day offers 37-42% off Little Giant Velocity Ladder Systems. I'm sure that's a great deal, but I just don't find ladders as exciting as, well, anything else Amazon's been promoting recently (especially as a holiday gift).
The Kindle Daily Deal is on Books for Foodies, with Tony Bourdain, Jacques Pepin, Shauna Niequist, and others. Also at the daily deal link: Elizabeth Peters's Night Train to Memphis, Stanislaw Lem's Memoirs Found in a Bathtub, and Michael Grant's Gone for $1.99 each.
Other Kindle Deals: Veronica Roth's Divergent is $3.99, and Dom DiLillo's Underworld is back down to $1.99. Also $1.99: Elmore Leonard's collection Fire in the Hole and The Stories of Paul Bowles.
The All American 15.5 Quart Pressure Cooker/Canner is $169.99 (49% off, about $50 off other deals). If you prefer the electronic option, the Cuisinart 1000-Watt 6-Quart Electric Pressure Cooker is $69.99 (62% off, about $30 less than at other places). A pressure cooker once nearly burned off the face of a former co-worker, and yet I still find myself wanting one. To cook with, not to burn people's faces off with. There are better options there.
The Cuisinart TOB-40 Custom Classic Toaster Oven Broiler is $67.78 (53% off, about $9 off common retail).
There's a sale on sports-themed games, including dartboards, checkers sets (Yankees vs Red Sox, etc), and domino sets. This deal also includes, in the "I can't believe this shit is real" category, a Cowboys vs the Racist-termed Team from Washington checkers set. Seriously.
The Imaginext DC Super Friends Superman Playset is $11.99 (52% off, about $10 off other sellers). This is a good time to get this, as by the time any kids in the target audience are old enough to read standard comics, DC probably will have stopped sucking.
The Apples to Apples Party Box is $14.79 (45% off, and about a $5 savings). The fact that Amazon says it's frequently sold with Cards Against Humanity amuses me to no end.
In video games, if you've got an Xbox 360 and an XBone, you can nab the NBA 2K14 Super Fan Pack-Xbox (with both versions) for $69.96 (30% off). If you've just got the 360 (or a PS3), the game is $39.99 (33% off).
Scribblenauts Unlimited for the 3DS is $11.99 (40% off), while the new Scribblenauts Unmasked (with DC Super Heroes) is $29.99 (25% off), but backordered.
In books, apparently the For Dummies books are still a thing. And on sale for up to 50% off.
And finally, for those who missed it the last time, the Harry Potter Complete 8-Film Collection is $59.42 (40% off) on Blu-Ray and $39.99 (49% off) on DVD. That's under $8 a film on Blu-Ray and $5 a film on DVD.
