Amazon's Prime Big Deal Days 2025 runs from Tuesday, October 7, to Monday, October 13.
You might snag some deals if you can't hang out till Black Friday at the end of November.

I recently came across Humble Bundle which offers bundles of software/books/games under a pay-what-you-can policy and donates proceeds tot charity. It's legit - I recently picked up a bundle of books by the SciFi author Martha Wells (advertised by her so its above board).

I managed to find some Calvin Klein jeans for $20. They’re a little bit too swish for my area though… I might save them for special occasions. They also need to be shortened so good luck with getting around to that.
I need to find somewhere to put my detergent so it doesn’t tip over and leak, wasting laundry sauce.
I also have some more patching to do.
Is anyone else having trouble finding any dishwasher tablets or packs at Aldi?
I was able to find Fairy packs on sale at Coles, but it still works out to like $0.40 or so per wash.
If you’re not picky Coles has own brand (Coles Ultra) tablets at a unit cost of .15 or the 1kg powder version is .39 per 100g.
Aldi theoretically has a few options for Logix brand in stock (.37/100g, .14, .25) but you’d probably have to try and check the stock for your store or give them a ring. They don’t always have everything. Plus the website really isn’t as good as 15 years ago when you could make a shopping list.
