Reusable Product Transactions

The WIRED Gear Team loves the Stasher bag. Instead of throwing away ziplock bags after every use, you can buy some silicone bags at once and use them forever (or at least until they start to degrade, which should be a while). They are dishwasher, freezer, and microwave safe, and you can even use them for sous-vide cooking.With several sizes discounted, you can Find this promotion at Home Depot, too.
I highly recommend replacing the plastic wrap with a reusable wrap like this one, made of beeswax coated cotton, never dealing with the pain of it sticking to yourself, nothing else. The bag comes in small, medium, and large sizes, and they can be washed and reused for a year or more, depending on how often you use them.
Public Goods makes a bunch of reusable products we love, including these wool dryer balls to replace disposable dryer sheets.They help absorb moisture to speed up drying time and you can sprinkle essential oil Use them if you don’t want to give up the fresh scent embedded in the sheets.

Adidas has an incredible line of period shorts and bodysuits, and in addition to these shorts, there are now some styles on sale, including biker shorts and tightsOn lighter days, I find shorts more than adequate, but the brand does recommend using them as a backup for tampons or pads, not your only protection.
Walmart+ Deals
The Samsung Galaxy Tab S7+ usually sells for $650 to $700, so this is a rare big deal. We like it very much.It comes with a stylus on which you can do some work if you add a keyboard – skip default keyboard and use a bluetooth (It will save you money). The 12.4-inch AMOLED display is the real star of the show, offering vibrant colors and inky blacks.
LG’s C1 OLED (8/10, recommended by WIRED) is an excellent gaming TV, with input lag times equal to or better than most gaming monitors. This 65-inch TV usually sells for around $1,799, but it rarely drops this low.This 55 inches is $550 cheaper Now, so if you can spare 10 inches, it might be worth it in your wallet.
