Deal of the Day - $15-$25 off Kindle Fire Tablets for Prime Members

UPDATE 2: They have now removed the discounts that were previously being advertised for the Kids Editions, so I removed the links to those tablets.
UPDATE: The discount on the Kids Editions may not be accurate. Amazon is still advertising them both as discounted on the Fire Tablets Family page, but I could not get the discount to actually show up through the checkout process. The discounts on the Fire 7 and HD 8 are still good though. Discount will show up when you "Proceed with Checkout"

So this is what Amazon was doing while Newegg was discounting their Echo Show.
Amazon has the Kindle Fire 7 for $34.99, Kindle Fire HD 8 for $54.99, Kindle Fire 7 Kids Edition for $79.99, and Kindle Fire HD 8 Kids Edition for $99.99.

The difference between the regular versions and kid versions are primarily a big cushy case and a no-questions-asked warranty. These prices are not as low as Prime Day prices, when I bought a 7" Fire for $20 after a $10 rebate for using voice ordering on Alexa, but they're still a great deal if you don't want to wait two and a half months to hope to save $5 on Black Friday.

I'd recommend the $55 HD 8, even though that's not what I bought myself. Mine was for my daughter and it's fine for her uses, but it can be painful for me when I'm trying to add apps and things for her. The kids edition may or may not be worth it. For me, the $20 I spent on it was kind of an experiment to see how she does with it and it was going to cost more than double to get the kids edition, so it seemed silly. (update: Now that the kids versions are full price and the others are still discounted, the Kids Edition upgrades are definitely not worth it, especially for the 7" tablet)

Active Deals of the Day

Spotify Premium for Students with Hulu AND Showtime for $5 This is where I will introduce you to my favorite electronics bargain of the day, focusing on three online retailers each with their own specific advantage: Newegg with their wide selection of components and serious deals if you look close enough (and are willing to return mail-in rebates), Amazon and their two-day delivery service that many people subscribe to, and Best Buy due to always-available price-matching and their stellar return policy - aided even further by the fact that many people live close enough to a brick-and-mortar location that returns can be done in-store.

Elimination Diet

So the very day I wrote a post about how to make pour-over coffee, my GI advised me to try a gluten-free diet. After some discussion with my husband, I decided to do a more extensive elimination diet, mainly because if I do have a food sensitivity, but not to gluten, I don't want to go through multiple gluten-free trials to figure it out. The two most common food triggers are wheat and dairy, so those are definitely getting cut, along with eggs, soy, most grain (although I'm still eating rice and quinoa, I'm not replacing wheat with other gluten-free grains), nightshade vegetables (potatoes, tomatoes, and peppers, mainly) alcohol, and, yes, caffeine. I'm also cutting out most added sugar because I can't eat much in the way of processed food anyway, due to the other restrictions. Immediately after getting the news that I would be going gluten-free (for a two-month trial), I went to a Pizza Hut lunch buffet, because that's what you do. And I did
