Our clocks spring forward this Sunday, and since you’ll lose an hour of sleep in the process, why not grab of free bag of pick-me-up to start the day off right, courtesy of Kinja Deals? Using the promo code KINJACOFFEE, you can do exactly that for a limited time only. That link above (and below!) should automatically mark your first bag down to $0, but you will need to cover shipping. For me, the shipping charge was around $5. You can choose whether to get your bag ground and ready to go or as whole beans you grind yourself.

This subscription, which you can cancel anytime, brings you a fresh bag of new coffee every 2 or 4 weeks depending on your preferred schedule. You can get caffeinated conveniently and on your terms by indicating your preference for lighter or darker roasts, or have Atlas surprise you with each delivery.

There are plenty of arcade sticks out there built for hardcore fighting fans, but how many of them have games installed on them? The NeoGeo Arcade Stick Pro is a wonderful little contraption that’s both a standalone controller and a sort of NeoGeo Classic. It comes with 20 SNK fighting games, including six entries in the King of Fighters franchise. That’s a nice little gimmick as is, but the fact that this is actually a fully functional fight stick that works with PC and Android devices rules. Take a look at that shiny red joystick and eight face buttons! That’s a cute little arcade stick right there! If you’re interested in grabbing one, it’s currently $101 over at Amazon today.

Spring is almost here, and we’re all ready to spend some more time outdoors. But whether you’ve still got a few more days of winter or you like to kick back under the sun and turn a few pages, it’s nice to have a good book to keep you company.

If you’re in the market for a super-sharp set of knives, look no further than Henckels 14-Piece Knife Set. It’s 20% off, bringing the price down from $100 to $80 which is saving you $20! Yes, I am amazing at simple math.

If you’re looking for a dash cam that can be your new driving companion, the Rexing V3 Plus is on sale for $180 at Best Buy today. This is a pretty robust device that features a lot of useful perks. It captures in HD at 30 frames per second and a 170 degree viewing angle. It has a 2.7″ LCD display that you can interact with. It gets deeper after that. This bad boy has a built-in GPS, an advanced driver assistance system, night vision, a parking mode, and more. Especially useful is it’s looping functionality that’ll overwrite old footage on your SD card if it runs out of space. That way, you can just keep the recording running as long as you need to. Collision detecting tech also means that the camera won’t rewrite any accidents. I’ll leave whether or not this is a great camera to you auto heads out there, but it certainly sounds appealing on paper.

Samsung’s long-running Galaxy Note line has delivered some serious large and feature-rich Android phones over the years, and they’ve been consistently super expensive and packed with a pop-out S Pen stylus. Last fall’s Galaxy Note 20 Ultra 5G is the apex of the line: larger, more luxurious-feeling, and even more feature-rich than ever. Also the most expensive ever.

As Gizmodo’s Sam Rutherford wrote:

“Frankly, the S-Pen is just a bonus, and when it comes to taking notes during meetings or just drawing silly captions on photos, I’m glad it’s still around. But even without it, the Galaxy Note 20 Ultra is still so much more thoughtful and refined than the S20 Ultra, or any other super premium phone. Yes, even at $1,300, this thing is still exceedingly expensive, but at long last, Samsung has finally made something truly worthy of that ‘Ultra’ tag.”

But if you’ve been eyeing the Galaxy Note 20 Ultra 5G, now might be the time to strike: Woot is taking $500 off the list price in Mystic Bronze today only, while supplies last. At $800 for a high-end, unlocked superphone, it almost seems like a bargain. Almost. You can also snag the less-robust Galaxy Note 20 5G (no Ultra) at $600 in Mystic Green from the same link. There’s free shipping for Amazon Prime members with either option.

Sitting is the new smoking, or so they say. (I’d personally argue vaping more so fits that bill, but to each their own.) And in the event you’re trying to quit while on that work-from-home grind—let’s face it, who isn’t now that our commuting exercise has been axed completely—an adjustable standing desk offers quite the elegant, versatile solution. While we haven’t reviewed this specific model, our own Andrew Hayward took the Flexispot EC9 for a spin earlier this year, and while he was reluctant to reach a definitive verdict on the experience, he did have the following to say:

This particular desk meets my own relatively undemanding needs, given that it’s sturdy and tall enough for me (being 6’2”), but it’s the only standing desk I’ve used so far. There are other options around this price point, as well as much, much more expensive standing desks with additional features and added style, not to mention standing desk converters that can sit atop your existing desk. If you’ve been thinking about a standing desk, there’s probably an option out there that can fit your budget and meet your needs.

Both the 48″ x 24″ EC9 and its larger 48″ x 30″ counterpart are on sale, the latter is discounted a whole 20% when you opt for the white on white colorway. All you have to do is clip the coupon on the page and you’re well on your way to achieving new heights.

The packaging for Bushwick Kitchen’s Maple Syrup is utterly confusing. I thought for sure these were fancy artisanal shampoos as they are made in Brooklyn. But I was pleasantly surprised to find out they are actually gluten-free and paleo-friendly maple syrups.

Once your brain processes the way they decided to bundle these, don’t judge the outside. The inside is a rich concoction of traditional amber-colored rich syrup. There are two tasty syrups to elevate every meal. First is the classic Butter Maple. This organic buttery treat does more than enhance pancakes; slather it on a slab of pork chops too. It’s a little sweet and a little salty, perfect for breakfast and dinner items. For those who need a kick to their flavoring, there are two bottles of Spicy Maple. Made from a blend of chile peppers and habanero, toss this in when roasting veggies or even when you start frying up your morning bacon. Each bottle is almost thirteen ounces of goodness right from the Catskills.

If you’ve read a few of our pieces on Meh before and you like what you’ve seen, they offer a $5 monthly fee to get free shipping on all of your orders, no matter how many. That membership also gets you free shipping at MorningSave, Mediocritee, and SideDeal. Otherwise, shipping is $8 per order.
