We’re off to celebrate in the most American way possible, today, which is to say that we have a watermelon and we’re not afraid to use it. And we’re also off to hang out with friends and eat things that are fried, just as our forefathers intended.

But! Before we go! You know I would never miss an Amazon Friday Sale!

Did you miss the EarthBoxes the last time they were marked down? Now’s your chance!

This isn’t just a fabulous little book light, it’s also half price and eligible for the 4-for-3 promotion. That’d be a pretty sweet stocking stuffer for the whole family, you know.

Mmmmm… cherry pie Larabars.

Have you been thinking of getting yourself a fancy ultrasonic toothbrush, but shying away from the cost? Here’s a fabulous deal: The Waterpik Sensonic Toothbrush is marked down to $56.54—already a fabulous price—but you can also use coupon code WTRPIK78 to save another $10. Try finding another highly-rated model for that price, I dare you.

Don’t forget to check out the Friday Five, too—five downloadable albums for just $5 each.

And then, for heaven’s sake—go outside and eat something fried. It’s your patriotic duty!
