Back in the Kitchen

Now that many restaurants are closed or required to limit the number of customers to stop the spread of COVID-19, perhaps more people are finding themselves back in the kitchen or doing more cooking than ever before.

That’s why it may be a good idea to shop for kitchen products to give to a special family member or friend for Christmas. DealDash.com might be the best place to do just that.

So I decided to write about some of the stainless steel kitchen products on DealDash that I already won. I know the following DealDash products would be sure to delight any amateur chef in your home.

Stainless Steel Saucepan

This stainless steel saucepan with lid quickly became my favorite and most-used pan. It is perfect for heating up soup, boiling noodles, making sauces like gravy and/or mashed potatoes.

When I first saw the BIN price of $650.00 I thought this sauce pan might be beyond my price range. However, I noticed several shoppers were able to win it at an amazing bargain price, so I bid on it a few times and I soon won it at a bargain price, too.

Some examples of real DealDash shoppers who won an awesome bargain on this pan recently are:

Bargain Hunter Guidelines

I often see DealDash.com customers write in their bios that they are shopping on this penny-auction site to win a bargain. Many bargain hunters, however, probably have no idea how to improve their chances of actually doing that — especially new shoppers on DealDash.com.

I love DealDash but I have to admit I made a lot of bidding mistakes before I learned how to bid smart. Once we learn how to bid smart that’s when we start to win bargains. Therefore, I decided to write this blog to give DealDash customers some “Bargain Hunter Guidelines.”

Guideline No. 1

Never compete with power players. Not all DealDash shoppers are here to “win a bargain.” There’s a difference between “winning” and “winning a bargain.” Some players want to “win” but they do not care if they “win a bargain.” They will bid and keep on bidding until they “win” even if they end up paying three times more than what it would cost to BIN (Buy It Now).  I’m sure DealDash loves those players, but if we are here to “win a bargain” the best thing we can do is to stay away from those players.

How do we do that? I wrote other blogs discussing how to quickly identify wealthy power players with an endless supply of bids. In this blog, however, I will explain how to find the right auctions where you can “win a bargain.”

Shop ‘til You Drop

We often heard people say, “Shop ‘til you drop” during the holiday season, but when we shop at DealDash.com we do not have to worry about it. We can do an awful lot of shopping from the comfort of our home, which takes a lot of the effort out of shopping and makes it an easy and fun experience instead.

To make our Christmas shopping experience even better I decided to highlight some of the most awesome products up for auction that would be sure to add some uplifting sparkle to families still in quarantine because of COVID-19. 

Christmas tree

How about starting with a hand-crafted 9-foot-tall Christmas tree that comes with 800 clear lights? That would be one gift that the entire family could enjoy.

What are the best things about getting an artificial tree?  Well, we do not have to go out in nasty wet or cold weather to get a real tree and this one looks just like a real tree. We also do not have to worry about family members or guests who are allergic to real Christmas trees.

The only down side I see to getting this tree is that a 9-foot tree is a little too high — at least for me. The ceilings in my house are not high enough for a tree that high and I suspect that might be the case for many other shoppers as well. If you happen to live in a house with high ceilings, however, this could work to your advantage. Everyone with low ceilings will not be bidding on this tree so that will cut down on the competition.

Preparation for the Holidays

This is the time of year that we could sum up with one word: preparation.

Thanksgiving in 2020

We usually prepare for a traditional Thanksgiving feast that usually consists of turkey, stuffing, cranberries, baked sweet potatoes, mashed potatoes and gravy, green bean casserole, pumpkin pie, pecan pie and mincemeat pie.

Soon after that everyone would prepare for Christmas by shopping for gifts at local malls and by attending annual holiday events. I always used to attend the Victorian Country Christmas at the local fairgrounds and always bought tickets to attend my favorite live stage production of A Christmas Carol. It was so much fun to see Scrooge and the ghosts of Christmas past, present and future flying

Ever since the COVID-19 virus began to spread throughout the world in early 2020, however, this year has not been “business as usual.” To stop the spread of the virus, many of us have been ordered to stay home and are still required to remain in quarantine. All of my favorite traditional holiday celebrations have been canceled. Some states will not even allow families to enjoy Thanksgiving dinner together unless they live in the same house.

But let’s look at the bright side. One good thing about these challenging times is that even people who never before shopped online are now learning how to use the Internet and many of them have now discovered DealDash.com — a fair and honest penny-auction site where we have the opportunity to win great bargains and have fun at the same time.

Exciting New Specials

DealDash often rotates various specials but to prepare for the holidays this year, they have come up with some real doozies that you won’t want to miss. Some of the exciting, brand new specials coming up for Black Friday and Cyber Monday!

The Black Friday auctions on DealDash are 90% OFF
The Black Friday auctions on DealDash are 90% OFF.
  • 90 percent off the final auction price, where DealDash will pay 90 percent of the final winning price and the winner only has to pay 10 percent of the final winning price. What a deal!
  • Runner-up promotion, where DealDash will offer the runner-up to the winners 50 percent off the Buy-It-Now price, plus they will still get all of their bids back that they used in the auction if they choose to use BIN.
  • Black Friday Auction Blast, where DealDash will auction off 20 iPads throughout the day.
  • A brand new Tesla Model S electric car will also go up for auction.
  • The 1X to 3X time on the clock to make the green line move that much faster to the right to win free bids at the end, might go as high as 5X instead. Instead of 9 seconds on the clock, each bid placed would use 45 seconds on the clock.
  • The $5 or $3 lockout, where all new bidders are blocked from participating in the auction once the auction reaches that amount will be lowered to only $1. That means after the auction reaches $1 all new bidders will be locked out so the competition would be much lower.

As you can see, DealDash is prepared to bring an exciting end to 2020 with all of these above specials. That should really help lift our spirits because it gives us Deal Dashers some exciting auctions to look forward to. All we have to do is make sure we don’t miss it. I’ll see you there!
