Oof. That’s significantly less than I paid for my annual subscription in June. Now I have to figure out if it’s enough of a discount to pay twice for the next 6 months and hope there’s another good deal next year.

Black Friday Deals 2021

I’m not sure if this is really a Black Friday deal or just a recurring teaser rate but I’ve upgraded Parallels Desktop for Mac for $39.99.

I use it daily to run a Windows 10 VM on my iMac.

https://www.parallels.com/products/desktop/

[ADDED] I bit the bullet and signed up for a subscription (I know, I know…). That adds in Parallels Access which gives you remote access to the Mac, works well on my iPad (i{Phone,Touch} are too small to be of use). I’ve tried to get by on the cheap with alternatives like Chrome Remote Desktop but they weren’t as good/robust.

Only paid $17.34. Only issue is no Windows 11 version. I will have to use my older computer with Windows 10 one more year.

23andMe and Ancestry both have Black Friday discounts on their various genetic testing offerings. However, Amazon has the same Black Friday prices that each company is offering but with free shipping, even for non-Prime members. I think that both 23andMe & Ancestry charge for shipping.

Red Lights flash (OK, red font) and say "YOU are NOT eligible. Pay the full price of $6.99" (I may have slightly paraphrased.)

So, somewhere they are checking addresses on cards and coordinating, or something. Or maybe I just have too many cookies hanging around. I thought I cleared everything, but perhaps not.

Maybe next year.

Catholic guilt strikes again. I may need to say a few "Our Fathers" to atone for this attempted sin.
Some folks say you need a new email address and CC number. I did it and it worked for me.

Remember : JoeBlow@gmail.com looks different from Joe.Blow@gmail.com but both come to the same account in gmail.com Just add a period to your email and send one out to see if you get it.

I just picked up some Anker wireless ear buds for $29.99, less the 5% Amazon Prime CC discount they are about $28.50 + tax. Consumer Reports liked them as a set of basic ear buds. No fancy this and that. They only last about 4 hours between charges, but the case can recharge them 3-4 times. So... I'll take the risk. Blow That Dough!

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...4X9EWVXLJ&th=1

Oh, I ordered the non-expedited shipping so I get another $1 towards the purchase of music on from Amazon. Am I pushing the meaning of Blow that Dough?

I just got a Fire TV Stick 4K from Amazon for $24.99, regularly $49.99. I have a ROKU TV, going to give the wife the Fire Stick for her TV. Kind of curious to see how ROKU compares to Fire Stick.

I have (and use) both, and IMHO the Amazon interface is better. The UI is more intuitively organized and easier to navigate. But they're both good.

Got it. Used my gmail address, and paid through Paypal using my balance with one of the cards I used before as backup.

Thanks for the heads-up. I signed up and, as a result, spent Thanksgiving watching a documentary on the glut of serial killers in Los Angeles in the 70's and 80's. Not sure if that was the most fitting way to spend Thanksgiving, though it did give me some weird and vivid dreams

I’ve not succumbed to the temptation of buying stuff. This is an American import into Scotland/UK I can do without. Anything you need is generally available at reasonable cost throughout the year. Another example of overt consumerism.
