When the weekend rolls around you’re never quite sure what you’re going to get into. Are you going to pick up a new hobby? Get back into an old hobby? Finally move all your useless college files and half finished projects to an external hard drive? Maybe you’ve decided that you want to be the kind of adult that has magazine subscriptions sent to your house. Maybe you’ve got a big weekend of sitting on the couch catching up the 200 superhero movies you missed last year but you need a new television and speakers before you can do it right. Maybe you want to get back out into your garden a few last times before the first fickle frost. Maybe your partner tricked you into going camping for the first time and you need all your last minute accoutrements within the promised Prime shipping window. Maybe you’re one of the more nobel individuals and you teach. The school year is young and your budget is low, so you depend on people like me to find you the best deals to stretch your dollar as far as it will go.Maybe you want to get back out into your garden a few last times before the first fickle frost.

Why We Love This Deal: Many people have expressed disinterest with inviting another device into their home that does everything our smart phones can do, but for those with unique needs, Amazon’s Echo Show can quite literally be a lifesaver. One reviewer writes of his mother with dementia, “I thought I’d try setting a Show next to her rocking chair. I can now “Drop-in” on her every day and share some face time with her, visit with her grand daughter, see the dog whom she LOVES, and just make her smile. The beauty is that there is no interaction needed on her end, the Caregivers and my Mom love this setup. The fact that I can use my phone from anywhere and actually see and talk to Mom, and show her things is hugely entertaining and comforting for Mom, and everyone in the family.”
