Men's Woven BeltMen's Woven Belt
Store: Amazon
Price: $3.99
Shipping: Free shipping w/ Prime
Lowest By: $5

There's an old Mitch Hedberg joke that goes "Right now my belt is holding up my pants. But my pants have belt loops that are holding up my belt. Who is the real hero?" And ever since I heard that joke, it's given me a small existential crisis every time I encounter a belt. This is among the lower-priced crises so far.



CamelBak 32-oz. Fit Cap Vacuum Stainless Water BottleCamelBak 32-oz. Fit Cap Vacuum Stainless Water Bottle
Store: Woot! An Amazon Company
Price: $15
Shipping: Free shipping w/ Prime
Lowest By: $20
Expiration: September 1

"Hydration on the move" reads the marketing, which is basically just describing a river. Or a cloud. Or any number of configurations of H2O molecules. Even a milk carton falling off a truck. Or whatever. But in this case, it's a CamelBak water bottle, which is actually stainless steel, and not a configuration of H20 molecules. But we still get the point, especially since it comes at a record low price.



Uniqlo End of Summer SaleUniqlo End of Summer Sale
Store: Uniqlo
Price: From $2
Shipping: $8 s&h, or free shipping w/ $99

Ah yes, Uniqlo. The store named for its single qlo. Don't trust any store with more than one qlo, that's what we say. Is that low number of qlos in any way related to the low prices in this sale? Do prices rise and fall proportionally with qlos? Sadly, very few other stores disclose their qlo numbers, which makes it hard to do a proper scientific study. But we'll keep digging. We know there's a story here.



Video Game Deals at TargetVideo Game Deals at Target
Store: Target
Price: From $9
Shipping: Free shipping w/ $35

"Video games are nothing but trash" according to long time player and colleague A. Byrne but despite his disdain for the medium (or perhaps because of it?) we continue to list deals involving them. Enter Target. Now you might think that the abundance of Sonic games on offer here makes for a strong argument in favor of A. Byrne's point of view and you'd be right. But! There's good stuff too like Tony Hawk 3 + 4, Spider-Man 2, and the noble Hello Kitty Island Adventure. They're all here and they're all discounted.



Coffee Flash Deals at WalmartCoffee Flash Deals at Walmart
Store: Walmart
Discount: Up to 82% off
Shipping: Free shipping w/ $35

"I'll just have some coffee flash deals discounted at up to 82% off."

"Full price it is."

"No, I said discounted. "

"Full price?"

"DIS-COUNT-ED"

"FU-LL PRI-CE"

And so on.
