Your Good Buy Of The Day (Part 1)

@oldfort – I really like the look of that but is it a carry on? The product description says Medium checked. May just order it anyway as it looks great.

I have one that’s just slightly bigger and I use it as a carry on. Few times I was stopped because it looked big, and every time I passed the test. The one I have has 2 wheels instead of 4. It is an older version. I paid over $100 for mine on Gilt 2 years ago. I could fit a week worth of clothes in it.

Thanks @oldfort! I love the color…

And you are a much better packer than I am.

It gives the dimensions, which are larger than the carry-ons I currently use–very attractive.

I love Lipault also but it still weights over 7lbs! I am looking for a carryon that weighs less than 5lbs.

Update on the peaches: the $0.99/lb ones from Sprouts were meh (maybe I am spoiled by the ones we just had from the farm) so there is a peach pie in the oven. The $0.69/lb ones from Whole Foods are still ripening.

It does give the dimensions as 23" x 16.9" x 9.4" and most airlines state 22 x 14 x 9 as allowed. I guess you can take your chances.

But beyond that, it is a discontinued color! How last year.

Yum peaches. I don’t think any fruit in my city is ever 89 cents a pound.

For carryons under 5 lb, check It rollers.

My Travelpro carryon weighs less than 5 pounds. And I love it!

BB - what do mean?“check it rollers”
The one I have now is a bit bigger in dimension, but because it is soft, whenever they’ve asked me to put in the bin to see if it is within regulation, it always fits.

“It”. :slight_smile:

That’s it - It. :slight_smile:

Their 29 inch roller was under 5 lb and survived 2 trips around the globe.

I had no idea Cole Haan outlet gave discounts to students - 20% :slight_smile: Niece got some awesomely comfy sandals and pumps.

@BunsenBurner – I think the Cole Haan college discount started last year. I was pleasantly surprised also as this has become my older son’s ‘go to’ brand for casual shoes. By casual, I mean anything beyond flip flops or sneakers.

RL and J Crew outlets also offer college student discounts. I now ask when I have my sons with me.

J Crew regular stores do also, but not on top of the 50% off sale price.

Ok I got my .99 peaches today at Ralph’s (Kroger). Von’s is a rip off at 1.99/lb. They were good, though.

I miss cheap fruit :frowning: I miss ripe fruit even more. Last time I tried buying local peaches at the farmers market (really the only way to get ripe fruit here) they were $3.99/lb. I also miss affordable farmers markets.

Really…the flat of 11 peaches I got at Trader Joes were delicious…and just perfect for eating. $5.99 which I thought was a great buy.

@Undercovermom1 - I’ve gotten excellent peaches all season at Krogers. Frequently on sale at $0.99/lb. The Sprouts and yes, the Trader Joes that I got were disappointing. Thumper1 was lucky - her TJs were good. Will wait to see what the Whole foods ones are like. Otherwise-- more pies or cobbler or crisp.

I’m a PYO peach picker. I’m planning to hit the orchard tomorrow. Today I canned a dozen little jars of jams from last weeks pickings!

We don’t have a lot of native peaches here in CT. But the ones we do have got hit by a very COLD frost in mid April…we are talking zero temps or so. We lost a LOT of things this year…forsythia didn’t get yellow flowers, early rhododendron didn’t bloom, our lilacs didn’t bloom…and the neighbor’s peach tree has NO peaches on it!
