Amazon Deals - browse all current top deals. If you're buying anything at all, consider using the forums afffid link button, in the menu top right.
Audible - Prime members get 2 free titles, cancel any time. If you've not tried this before, it's very easy, and the Audible app is good too. Signup for free, and claim your 2 free audiobooks (1 for non-Prime).
You can easily cancel before the end of the month, without incurring any charges - you may also be offered an extra title to stay on for another free month. This gives plenty time to listen to the free Audible exclusives, too, from the likes of Graham Norton and Stephen Fry.
Lookout for the Amazon banners, and you can repeat the whole process a few months later.
Amazon Warehouse - extra discounts on 'warehouse' items = returned goods. I just bought a Wacom ONE drawing pen-tablet (small) for £21 that arrived next day in mint condition (rrp £36, available discounted for £30). Note that annoyingly, the discount shows in-basket only.
I like Anker stuff - I've bought 3 bluetooth speakers (still going strong after 4 years of regular use) and a pair of on-ear noise cancelling cans for flights - all very good.
Anker P3i Active Noise Cancelling Earbuds, AI-Enhanced - 34% off £32.99
One of those account-specific offer things - worth a click (although it didn't work for me).
I do wonder about the algo that assigns these. ??
£5 To Spend On Your Next Purchase Of £20+ When You Create a Wishlist
Recently bought a pair of these: well-reviewed Edifier R1280DBs Active Bluetooth Speakers - coax-in x2, optical in, sub out, 42W.
There are various Edifier models available, with/out bluetooth, with/out sub connection.
If you go for the 1280, get the newer DBS version, as it's slightly improved. I would have preferred white (for the kitchen) but n/a for this particular model.
Very pleased with the sound and build quality, and it goes as loud as you would want. There are rotary switches on the side - dial down the bass and up the treble for clear podcast vocals, and when spotifying, you can use an eq app to really push the dynamics for a kitchen-sink disco.
Can also be used as PC/desktop speakers or with a TV/projector. Wish I'd bought a pair ages ago.
Anyone take vitamins? I'm not obsessed, but do follow the science. For at least 6 months of the year, most of us don't get enough VitD. These are the ones we take, and they've just dropped to their cheapest ever price.
£4.99 - Vitamin D3 4000iu 365 Vitamin D x365 tabs (made in UK)
We're not obsessive pill-popping hypochondriacs, so we just take this VitD plus B12 (sublingual cyano) - one pill every few days, plus occasional seaweed for iodine (as we eat low-salt) plus fortified plant milks.
Good price for Office 365 Family - 6 users (very easy to share with friends/family via dashboard).
Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, Teams, Microsoft Editor, Clipchamp, and more.
Each user can install on up to 5 devices, including: PC, Mac, iPad, iPhone, Android.
This includes 1TB cloud storage per user. Codes can be stacked for 5 years. Activation: go to Office.com/setup
Sometimes you can switch to a monthly sub, then turn off renewals, and it offers you 3 free months.
Also available with Norton or McAfee for +£5.
£49.99 - MS 365 Family | up to 6 users | 1 year sub
Yes, there are free alternatives: LibreOffice, Google Docs and MS Office Online.
Best price for a while, although it sometimes drops a bit cheaper - useful if your sub is up.
Codes can be stacked. Also, turn on recurring billing, then turn off, and Adobe might offer 3 free months.
If you've not renewed LR for a few years, the latest AI masking is well worth checking out.
Oh, I see ... apparently there's a sale on !
£69.99 - Kindle (latest 2022 version) | 6", 300 ppi high-res - Available in black or blue. Buy with ads (to save £10), then complain to CS about how inappropriate/intrusive they are.
Can't go wrong at this price -

Amazon are obviously pushing this feature, as it's quicker, easier, cheaper and more efficient for them!
I've used it before and I'm still eligible for the discount. Personally I actually prefer it to hassling the neighbours, or risk getting something left on the step or in the shed. Handy to collect on your way home from work, so long as your Post Office (or wherever) is both open and not busy.
