CYBER MONDAY WEEK MEGA-DEAL: $60 off the Skybell Video Doorbell, now $139 with free shipping! This is one of the hottest security items out there now and you won't see a lower price any time soon.



The Skybell Video Doorbell is priced at $199.00, but when you click through this link and enter promo code CYBER60 at checkout, that price drops by $60.00 to $139.00 with free shipping.  I have not seen this product (or its competitors) for anywhere NEAR this price.  If you're not familiar with the Skybell, here's how it works:

After you install the Skybell, when someone rings your doorbell, Skybell sends an alert to your smartphone. You will be able to see, hear, and speak to your visitor, no matter where you are.  So if you are on vacation, you can answer your doorbell as if you were home!

The applications are numerous. Watch this video to get an idea of how practical the Skybell is.


This year, we had a rash of burglaries in our neighborhood (which is normally a very safe area), done by a gang that would ring the doorbell of a house in the middle of the day and then if no one answered, they would go around to the back door and break in.

With a Skybell, you can see who is ringing your bell from anywhere and answer accordingly.  I wish we had bought one of these before we went to Alaska last year; I would have had much better peace of mind. Think of the uses:
  • You can answer your door when you're at work and never miss another package delivery.  You can instruct the FedEx guy to leave the package with your neighbor.
  • You can answer the door when you're on vacation and the visitor need never know that no one is home!
  • If you are in the bathtub (or otherwise engaged), you can see who is at the door and decide whether it's worth getting out of the tub.
  • If your older kids are home alone for the weekend, you can see who is visiting them (no unauthorized guests or parties).
  • You can avoid political, missionary, solicitor, and salesmen, etc. visits if you're busy at home. 
  • If you're at home and your baby is asleep, you can silence the indoor chime and still see who's ringing your doorbell with a smartphone alert.
  • You can keep an eye on your elderly parents' visitors when you're not there.
  • Even if you miss an alert, the smartphone app records the doorbell visit for you so you can watch it later.
  • If you've got a daytime babysitter or nanny, you can make sure she receives only authorized guests when you're not home.

Cyber Monday Amazon Device Roundup PART 1, including adult Kindles, and Alexa devices: What's still on sale today? What's a must-have?

Every major Amazon device has gone on sale for Black Friday/Cyber Monday, and there seems to be a bit of confusion between the difference between Kindles, Fires, Echos, Dots and Taps, etc. Below is the first part of my brief synopsis of all the Amazon devices on sale this week and what they do. Part 1 here will include adult tablets and Alexa devices. Part 2 will include children's tablets and tv-related devices, and I'll be posting that shortly.




Amazon has got the 7-inch 8 GB Fire Tablet now at $33.33 with free Prime/SuperSaver shipping, the lowest recorded Amazon price on this super-popular tablet  (previous price was $49.99).  It got 4.2 out of 5 stars over 83,137 customer reviews and is an Amazon #1 Best Seller.

The Fire has 8 GB of storage but (unlike most other tablets) you can expand the storage by adding a memory card, as needed, which is a brilliant feature.  It does pretty much everything that an iPad (ten times the price) does (this is my opinion as an owner, not a stone-cold fact). This make for a terrific Chanukah gift.

If you've been holding off on buying a tablet, e-reader or iPad, this is a great opportunity for you to acquire a great tablet at the price of a nice dinner out.  If you've already got an iPad, this makes for a suitable worry-free, low-replacement-cost traveling tablet.


The new 6" Kindle Glare-Free E-reader with WiFi dropped from $79.99 to $49.99 with free Prime/SuperSaver shipping.  This is a nice "entry-level" e-reader, now glare free. It got 3.9 out of 5 stars over 2,276 customer reviews.




Save $30 on the all new Fire HD 8 with 16 GB of memory, dropping from $89.99 to $59.99 with free Prime/SuperSaver shipping. It got 4.4 out of 5 stars over 6,930 customer reviews and is an Amazon #1 Best Seller.  It's great that it has twice the memory of the regular Fire and it's not that much more money.  



Kindle Voyage 6" High-Resolution Display E-reader with Adaptive Built-in Light and Pagepress Sensors and WiFi drops from $199.99 to $169.99 with free Prime/SuperSaver shipping.  This looks to me like a high-end e-reader for people who make heavy use of their Kindles, with all the nice bells and whistles that make e-reading a pleasure.


Save $40 on the Amazon Echo, priced at $179.99, but today it's $139.99 with free Prime/SuperSaver shipping. It got 4.4 out of 5 stars over 45.762 customer reviews and is an Amazon #1 Best Seller.  It's a voice-responsive. immersive, 360º omni-directional audio speaker that can play music, answer questions, read audiobooks, relay the news, report traffic and weather, give  info on local businesses, provide sports scores and schedules, control lights, switches, and thermostats with compatible home devices, and more.  Amazon is adding more and more functionality to the Echo all the time.


Save $10 on the Amazon Echo Dot, priced at $49.99, but today it's $39.99 with free Prime/SuperSaver shipping. It got 4.2 out of 5 stars over 3,174 customer reviews and is an Amazon #1 New Release.  Echo Dot (2nd Generation) is a hands-free, voice-controlled device that uses Alexa to play music, control smart home devices, provide information, read the news, set alarms, and more. You don't need an Amazon Echo to use an Amazon Echo Dot, but from the reviews, it looks like it would need an external speaker in order to play music, etc.  I would probably choose the Dot over the Echo in terms of value for price. 
Save $40 on the Amazon Tap, priced at $129.99, but today it's $89.99 with free Prime/SuperSaver shipping.  It got 4.2 out of 5 stars over 3,658 customer reviews and is an Amazon #1 Best Seller.  From reading the description and reviews, the Tap is basically a portable bluetooth speaker that uses Alexa to do all the things that an Echo can do, but without voice recognition.  You don't need an Alexa to use a Tap. The Tap seems like a device that's more music-centric than the Echo.

CYBER MONDAY AMAZON DEAL: up to 50% off select Hasbro games, Nerf toys, Play-Doh, etc.





There are tons of heavily discounted toys and games here. I found this Star Wars Hero Mashers Sith Speeder and Darth Maul for only $7.99 with free Prime/SuperSaver shipping; regular price $21.99.  (Compare that to this Walmart price here!)
