Okay, on the one hand I’ve never been a Pinterest-loving, everything-goes-great-in-a-mason-jar kind of person. On the other hand, I do use mason jars for various (fairly boring) things, and I’d admit that the new “retro” blue ones Ball has been touting lately are pretty. And you know I’m trying to use more glass and less plastic.

Right now Amazon has this Ball Jar Heritage Collection set of 6 Pint Jars with Lids and Bands for just $7.91 (free Prime shipping or Super Saver Shipping eligible), which is their lowest price ever. Perfect for everything from baubles on your dresser to filling with goodies for teachers to actual canning. You certainly don’t need them in blue, but at this price, why not?

Been looking for a deal on a bathroom scale? For years I bought cheap scales and then wondered why they never gave me the same weight twice. (Spoiler: Sometimes I am not very bright.) I finally caved and bought a good scale that is accurate and recognizes who steps on it and stuff… and it was definitely worth the money. Even if I do kind of wish it would lie to me, sometimes.

Right now Amazon has the Ozeri Touch 440 lb Digital Bath Scale that basically does everything but make your breakfast—it weighs you, stores up to 8 profiles, and even does body fat and bone mass measures—for just under $25.

Here’s how: Make sure the seller is Moderna Housewares, and the price should show as $39.95… but when you add it to your cart, Moderna takes off an additional 40%. There’s no better deal at this price point.

This model has a 4.5 star overall rating with over 1,500 reviews, too. People have serious opinions about scales, it turns out.

Do I have germs on the brain? Oh my yes; on the brain, on my nose, probably on my hands… I swear I stopped and blew my nose and then washed my hands ten times this morning while I was packing lunches. As if that was somehow going to stop everyone else in my house from getting this cold I’m battling, even though it was one of my kids who gave it to me in the first place. (Here you should please stop and picture me making very stern eyebrows at my oldest, then feeling guilty and getting her some more juice.)

I know it’s more environmentally friendly to use washable cloths or whatever, but when the family is under attack like this I prefer disinfecting wipes so that I can have the satisfaction of throwing away all of the germs. So big thanks to alert reader Kathy for pointing out that right now Amazon has this 6-pack of Seventh Generation Multi-Surface Disinfecting Wipes available right now with a clippable $6 coupon. If you buy via Subscribe & Save and you have Amazon Mom and 5+ subscriptions for the month—giving you an additional 20% off all your items—it’ll end up being just $18.91 shipped, or less than a nickel per wipe. These kill germs botanically (no bleach!) so you don’t even have to feel all that guilty about them, either.

Now if you’ll excuse me, I already have some of these, and I have to go wipe down my entire house.

On the heels of the Icepocalypse, the temperature today is predicted to hit the upper 60s, the birds are singing, the sky is clear, and a Woot-Off is going on. Truly, I think it might be the perfect day!

Deals will be rotating through Woot, Home.Woot, Sport.Woot, Tools.Woot, Kids.Woot, and Wine.Woot (motto: We’re So Drunk We Often Make This One Something That Isn’t Even Tangentially Related To Wine) all day long, and you’ll have to keep an eye out to catch the best ones. A deal may last 30 minutes or it may be gone in a blink; that’s just how the Woot-Off rolls.

Now if you’ll excuse me, I have to go do something very important and work-y. Stop looking at what windows I have open on my desktop, sheesh….
