Philadelphia Steals and Deals Fab Fun Prime Day Max It to the Rack

By
Real Estate Agent with HomeStarr Realty RS143922A

It is time for Steals and Deals this week. I hope you find it helpful and interesting. 

 

Great Buy at TJ Maxx: Kurt Geiger Stud Earrings. They were all marked $24.99, but one pair was marked $19.99, and the saleslady gave them to me for that price. These earrings sell for $68.99, and I have a belt with a matching eagle head, making them a Steal of a Deal and a very unexpected find. Needless to say, I was thrilled.

Amazon Prime Day - I found better deals a week before, and I was disappointed. I have purchased Amazon Presto pods for those who use dishwasher pods. In my opinion, Amazon Presto pods check out better than the name brands, and I got a fantastic deal on them. $8.99 for 70 pods - name brands are twice the price, if not more. For those who have not paid attention to me in my doctor's appointments, I was sick last year with a virus and lost my hearing. Did you know you can purchase hearing aids for as low as $99, and with coupons, as low as $86. They do help and are much cheaper than spending the $1200-$3000 per ear that insurance companies allot. I am going to try AirPods 2 next. Amazon had them on sale for $169, usually $269. During the sales the week before Prime Day, I purchased two jogging suits for $23. They were $34.99 on Prime Day and are now $59.99.

Do not get me wrong, I love Amazon, but Prime Day??? 

 

Nordstrom Rack online has a nice sale. Now that my pool is closed and I am not swimming every day like I was, I am walking, and my walk is turning into a slow jog. I really need to have the right sneakers. I have two pairs that I am wearing out, and about four others that do not have enough support. If you know me, you know that I need a little fashion sense as well as support. I will be dancing in them as well. I love that Nordstroms have a perk; if you open a charge card, you get $40 off your next purchase. You also get 5% off everything you buy online. The best is that you get free alterations, which I need to take advantage of, as it is a fantastic perk. As always, check prices, but I want to remind you that this is the time for a steal of a deal for holiday shopping. Time is moving quickly.

FabFitFun is just that, a fun box that comes seasonally. You get 6-7 choices of clothing, house old items, makeup, perfume, bath products, and lotions. I will talk more about it next week, but you can find some information on YouTube and Instagram. If you are interested, I can provide a coupon code for a discount. Many of the items you will receive can be given as gifts or kept. The cost for the box is $79.99, or $259.99 annually with added perks. The box comes out four times a year. I did discover a fabulous brand called African Botanicals. I am hooked on their body and bath products. Next week, we will talk more about FFF.   

Have a fantastic week, and if you can make it, join the group on Tuesday for a  Zoom session and get to meet some of the members.

Hi, Helpful Hannah! Hope all is well in Philly. :)

I have been curious about FabFitFun. Thanks for giving some details about their products. I don't need another thing to collect, but will try to tune in to see what you have to say about FFF next week. I might take you up on that discount code.

 

Until then, have a great weekend!

Hi Hannah- I love that you're doing Philadelphia Steals and Deals!  It was hit or miss for me on Amazon Prime this week but all I can say is their truck makes frequent stops here during the week. Love the earrings!!!  I get FFF too!!! It can be hit and miss for me.

Kathy Streib I almost purchased the earrings at full price in the summer, so when I saw them, I was astonished and quickly asked the saleslady for assistance.Thank you for the encouragement .Have a fantastic weekend -Kathy

Hannah Williams  You sound like my wife when she comes home from shopping and shows me something and wants me to guess what she paid for it. I'll offer a ridiculously low price, and she tells me to get serious, and the end price is about $2 off what I guessed.

Dennis Neal I did have fun . Whenever I save money, I enjoy myself. I was, however, sad when I drove to a store where I sometimes buy bird seed and saw it was closed, with a for sale sign on it. I am seeing this more frequently these days. Have a great weekend ,Dennis

Hello Hannah - are "Prime Days" items on sale lucrative?  "It Depends".  Comparative shopping remains quite competitive.  Thank you for sharing your Philadelphia recent steals and deals experiences.

Michael Jacobs  I have learned from experience that once announced, the good prime sales come right before they are supposed to. It seems I have a sixth sense. Kind of like holiday sales, and you do know the retail market.. Have a fantastic day, Michael

Hannah, will have to check out those earrings and the pods at Amazon.   Been working on this garage sale.  Was pretty good yesterday, hope the rest goes today!

Lovely to see you too Hannah Williams !    Friday's weather was good, and probably sold half my stuff, but today was rainy almost all day, and chilly.   Not good for sales.

Joan Cox It was so lovely to see you this week. I hope to see you again this week. Glad your sale is on a positive note. It is chilly in Philly, and we are expecting storms. Good luck with your garage sale today, Joan

Good morning, Hannah... I always enjoy your Deals and Steals posts. Today was no exception. Prime Day just passes me by... I closed my Amazon account years ago... too much hacking and their customer service to fix things stinks.

Hannah Williams yes, we do.

Nina Hollander, Broker  Sorry to hear you have had a bad experience with Amazon. I cannot say the same, as I have had a perfect one-on-one experience, except perhaps with some of the drivers, but customer service has always taken exceptional care. Glad you enjoyed the rest of the reading . We so need to catch up Nina

If I used my dishwasher, I would certainly be looking into the presto pods that you mention being a good deal, haha.  I handwash everything, but I do run my dishwasher once a month so that it stays operational, haha.

Oct 11, 2025 06:25 AM
Hannah Williams

Brian England I use my dishwasher almost every day because I cook so much, especially now that the weather is getting colder and I am not outside at the pool. I take my walks/jogs - I may not go dancing tonight, as I'm not sure if it is going to storm. Enjoy your evening ,Brian

Hello Miss Hannah Williams - when I am doing my weekly rounds of shopping - I think of you as I shop the weekly deals and save. I do not enjoy shopping yet I do make the best of it. 

Did your hearing come back after the virus cleared?

Kathleen Daniels, Probate & Trust Specialist Timing for shopping is essential, too. To answer the question, it has not come back. Sometimes I think it is a blessing, and other times it is not. Too many Rock Concerts!

Hi Hannah perfect timing for me to read this.  I need to go out and find a nice birthday gift for a friend and you've given me some great ideas.  I'd love to find a pair of those earrings for her. She love em.  As for Amazon we use it a lot.  But I've never shopped on Prime Day.....just never is on my mind I guess. Enjoy your weekend.  Gotta run now - out shopping 😊

Oct 11, 2025 03:42 PM
Hannah Williams

Anna "Banana" Kruchten Check out the jewelry department at T.J. Maxx, they usually have some incredible finds behind the glass. One lucky day, I found a stunning pair of Coach earrings. They also had Gucci, but that was a little out of my price range- Good luck shopping Anna

Hannah I found a  lovely blouse that she'll love along with an awesome necklace - gold with a big heart on it.  That will make her smile big!  She is such a kind, funny, and caring lady who gives her heart to many, many people. Thanks for your help in shopping for her!

Expert guidance. Exceptional results.

What a clever, fun roundup of deals and finds this week, Hannah Williams, and it's humbling to see how much money can be saved by being a smart shopper who checks prices before Prime Day! Finding those gorgeous Kurt Geiger earrings for a steal and getting those Presto pods for a fraction of the price really proves that patience and persistence pay off. Thanks for sharing all your great bargain hunting tips!

Oct 12, 2025 11:25 AM
Hannah Williams

Lew Corcoran Try checking prices before Prime Day, that's when you get the better deals, my friend. Presto pods are the winner in my book.So many stores are closing in my area what are you seeing in your area Lew ????
