Vacuums, Apple Tech, and Caviar ·

Anything’s an excuse for a sale these days. Don’t you love it? Used to be, we just had Black Friday. There was one day a year when all sorts of consumer products—like TVs, tech, and kitchen appliances—went on discount. Then there came seasonal style sales, but then things got out of control. The only industry that had adopted year-round sales were mattress and furniture sellers who were always Going Out Of Business.

Nowadays? Well, there’s a sale for everything. This week, it’s Leap Day. Exciting…

To be fair, it kind of makes sense in my mind to have weird travel sales on Leap Day. It’s an extra day, so you should treat yourself to a trip or a staycation. The line of thinking there is normal. But with this stuff? I’ve got now clue.

There’s sales classic sneakers like Chuck Taylors and absolutely of-the-moment training shoes like On runners. There’s mattresses, of course. But then there’s an aimless assortment of vacuums, Arc’teryx jackets, waxed bags, waxed jackets, and (strangest of all) caviar. I don’t really know what to tell you. It’s like an internet yard sale. Get in on the best Leap Day deals, and find some weird shit to buy.
