Primed for Disappointment
Okay, so a couple of my friends and I have been keeping track of all the special bargains on Amazon Prime today.
Ho boy, if I needed cheap silver jewelry or about fifty iPhone cases, this would be my special day.
But my favorite was this. Â Click the little one to see the big one.
Now, how much did you say that plastic measuring cup cost originally?
My favorite line?
$100 for a measuring jar? Only if it was produced by cold fusion!
1I’d say the $6 would be about right … $3.95 would be even better for a measuring cup! $100 … yeah, I don’t think so!!
2You think maybe there was an extra 0 in there somewhere? Good joke though.
3I’m with you JJ. However, I did score the Amazon Fire stick (b’day gift for son, $25 rather than $39, which was the best deal I found. I did purchase a couple of other things, but it was not the great sale that I had anticipated with all the hoopla around it.
4If it came with 99 other cups, that might be all right. You could open a chain of bakeries.
5Where I come from, two x 1 cup = $ 13.20 whereas on this special sale day two cups = $ 13.99.
6I have a measuring cup that holds a whopping FOUR cups! Has a stay-cool handle! Is dishwasher, refrigerator and freezer safe! And you can have it all for the low, low price of $175.00! That’s 64% more capacity for an increase of only 75% in price! What a deal!
I had no idea I was sitting on such riches. Hmmm – – I’ve got an empty picture frame sitting out in the garage doing nothing too. Anyone interested?
7I’m not a Prime member (Amazon disgusts me for a lot of reasons), and I didn’t check it out. Thanks for doing the heavy lifting, JJ. If I want to put boiling water into a cup, I’ll stick with Pyrex. I don’t trust ANY plastic, BPA free or otherwise, with hot liquids.
