The inspiration for this donation came from our desire to show gratitude to our nation’s first responders. But also, on the advent of the 20th anniversary of 9/11, to honor those first responders that put their well-being aside in the service to others on that day and those many weeks and months thereafter.
With Firehouse Subs Public Safety Foundation’s focus on acquiring resources and equipment, fire prevention education, and disaster relief, it seemed like a perfect fit to show our appreciation & support with a donation.
In 2020 Firehouse Subs Public Safety Foundation helped first responders by donating the above gear.

Donated to Firehouse Subs Public Safety Foundation
For most of us, work is an important part of daily life. It’s how we bring food to the table and support our families. For some folks, their job is an important part of their identity. As soon as kids are old enough to talk they get asked, “What do you want to be when you grow up?” The most popular replies to this tough question are, a doctor, a teacher, or a veterinarian. No matter what you do for a living, there is a holiday that celebrates all of your hard work; Labor Day. Labor Day is the first Monday of September, and it celebrates the efforts of the American work force. For most Americans, it means a 3-day weekend where good food and perhaps a beer or two are in order. And perhaps some shopping and good-doing.
Labor Day Savings are coming up on DealDash!
Labor Day Sales are a big deal in the USA, with Labor Day Weekend clocking in as one of the biggest retail events of the year. DealDash wants to honor all of your hard work by helping you stretch your hard earned cash just a bit further. Let us pass some Labor Day savings on to you and check out our Labor Day Week and Labor Day Clearance Week promotions!
Charity donation to help equip firefighters
Let’s start with the most important news of the week: DealDash will donate the final sum of all auction wins paid on Labor Day (excluding car auctions) to Firehouse Subs Public Safety Foundation.
This wonderful foundation helps firefighters save lives. They provide lifesaving equipment and needed resources to first responders and public safety organizations thus helping them to be better prepared to save lives in the communities they serve.
Below is a summary of what the foundation was able to provide to firefighters last year:
A full week of Labor Day Savings
Here at DealDash we think the best way to celebrate Labor Day is to save money! After all, most of us go to work to earn money, so it makes sense that saving money is a fitting tribute to your hard work. Luckily for you our Labor Day Weekend Sale is right around the corner! It takes place on September 4th and September 5th. During this special weekend event you can find Labor Day Savings on special bid pack auctions.
Labor Day is the time to pay tribute to America’s workforce.
Sometimes winning an auction takes a bit of work, so we plan on making it easier for you during our Labor Day Weekend Sale. The No Jumper Limit will be lowered to just $3, and the Time as Highest Bidder meter will have a 2X multiplier added to it. We hope to see you in these auctions!
Starting from Tuesday and the Labor Day Clearance, all auctions will be 50% OFF the final sales price for some extra savings!
One Weekend is simply not enough time…
The Labor Day Weekend Sale is only here for 2 days, so it comes and goes pretty quickly! Luckily for you, we have decided that one weekend of Labor Day deals is not enough time. The fun starts already on Labor Day, which is Monday, September 6th. Labor Day pays tribute to the hard work Americans put in each year, so we had to plan something big to properly pay our respects. Are you ready to hear what we came up with? On Labor Day, the final sales price is slashed by 90% for the auction winner! Yes, you read that correctly! If you win an auction for a computer that sold for $100, you only pay $10! This is a great way to shop and keep your hard earned money right where it belongs, in your pocket! And after Labor day, from Tuesday, September 7th, through Friday, September 10th we have our Labor Day Clearance Event! This means that you get to enjoy the week of Labor Day savings.
Labor Day is a time for barbeque, spending time with your buddies, and bidding of course!
Our popular Auction Leaderboard promotion will also be returning during Labor Day Clearance Week. This popular promotion keeps track of how much time each bidder collects as the highest bidder in a specific auction. The three bidders who have collected the most Time As Highest Bidder in an auction will earn additional bid rewards. The bidder with most Time as Highest Bidder in the auction gets the largest reward. The second and third place then share a smaller part of that. This is another great way to earn more free bids simply by bidding. Thank you for all your hard work this year, and we hope you enjoy the Labor Day savings we have planned for you. Happy Labor Day Weekend and happy bidding!

Think back to your childhood when you were a student. When summer drew to a close, were you dreading a return to the classroom? Or did it feel like Christmas Eve where you could not wait any longer for the first day of school to arrive? A lot of kids feel anxiety or get depressed when summer ends. These feelings are so common that experts call this the end-of-summer blues.
Parents might be even more excited for school to start than children are!
Now is the time of year when the end-of-the summer blues normally arrive, but maybe this year will be different. COVID has disrupted schools around the country, and many students didn’t have normal classes the past year and a half. One report estimates that over 168 million kids have had their education disrupted during the pandemic! This fall schools are preparing for students as more and more people get vaccinated and things (hopefully!) return to normal. Help the students in your life get ready for a return to the classroom by snagging some back to school deals on DealDash. We have an exciting promotion coming up to help eliminate the end-of-summer blues, our Get Ready To Learn Week extravaganza!
A week full of back to school deals!
Dealdash’s Get Ready To Learn Week begins on August 23rd and lasts until August 29th. The goal of this promotion is simple: make sure that we offer plenty of back to school deals to help students (and their parents) get ready for the upcoming school year. As they say, knowledge is fundamental, and so are deals! We have arranged to auction off all of the back-to-school essentials that students need to perform at their best. Studies have shown the importance of technology for students of all ages, so we will have auctions for laptops and phones. These devices allow children to learn through playing, which is becoming more and more common as educational apps and computer games are released.
A large part of education these days is getting students comfortable using technology.
Days full of learning can be tiring, so a good lunch is a can’t-miss part of the day for everyone. They say that there are two types of students; those who ate school lunches from the cafeteria and those who brought their own lunch. What side were you on? Were you carrying around plastic cafeteria trays? Or did you pull a brown paper bag out of your locker when lunch began? Nowadays school lunches have improved a lot since the good old days of spam and mashed potatoes. Lunch boxes have improved as well, and we have an auction scheduled for perhaps the best lunch box on the market, the Miranella TRU NOURISH Lunch Box. This lunch box features a large bowl, a small pot and a plate separated into five compartments. There are so many options, you could pack a different school lunch for every day of the year! These back to school deals are just a few of the many surprise auctions we have in store for you during our Get Ready to Learn Week.
Win in style
Our Get Ready to Learn week will not only offer great back to school deals. We also will have value-packed promotions, discount bids and special types of auctions to deliver the fun, exciting and savings that DealDash customers have grown used to. Keep an eye out for things like more No Re-entry Auctions, higher Time as Highest Bidder multipliers, and special bid pack purchase offers.
This guy is ready to have a rockin’ school year. Are you?
Saving money feels good, but it feels even better if you have fun while doing it. No need to study or cram for an exam! Just be ready to bid when our Get Ready to Learn Week begins!

What were you like twelve years ago? Where did you live? Can you still fit into the same size pants that you wore a decade ago? If those pants don’t fit, there’s no need to feel bad. As time marches forward, a number of things besides a love for French fries contribute to weight gain in adults. Odds are, some things have changed. After all, twelve years is a long time!
Looking back at old electronics is a great way to see how quickly things can change over the years!
Twelve years ago, DealDash was the place to be for savvy shoppers who wanted to compete for the best auction deals for the brands they love, and that is still true today. However, some things have changed on DealDash over time. We have more brands than ever before, and thankfully the DealDash App and website have had a few makeovers over the years. Change is a constant here at DealDash as we are always looking to improve how bidders compete for the best auction deals. And with that in mind, we are proud to introduce your next favorite type of auction: No Re-entry Auctions.
Bid jumpers need not apply
You will recognize the No re-entry auctions from the knockout symbol.
No Re-entry auctions are a twist on how DealDash auctions work. The rules of these special auctions are simple:
Only BidBuddy bids are allowed
If you run out of bids after the “no jumper” limit, you are eliminated from the auction.
Adding bids to an active BidBuddy is allowed.
These rules mean that someone can not bid early and then sit back and be inactive while others are actively bidding. This strategy is known within the DealDash Community as bid jumping. It is a polarizing strategy to say the least. With No Re-entry Auctions, only those in it and participating from the very start can proceed.
In No Re-entry Auctions you need to be in it to win it! Only bidders with an active BidBuddy are allowed.
A chance to use a bidder’s best friend
The No Re-entry auctions do not allow manual bidding. This means that you need to use the BidBuddy to participate. While this may seem like a limitation, experienced bidders know that the BidBuddy is a great tool to help you win the best auction deals. Experienced DealDash bidder Theresa B. even wrote a guest blog post detailing how the BidBuddy helps her save time and money as she competes in the auctions.
Our Team has spent many sleepless nights fine tuning the BidBuddy to make it the perfect auction companion.
Over the years we have perfected the BidBuddy to be as helpful as possible, and now many DealDashers consider it their best friend…at least as far as chasing the best auction deals goes. The BidBuddy only places bids for you when the clock is about to hit zero – the best time. If other bidders are placing “single” bids, the BidBuddy won’t waste any of your bids. It will only place a bid when the auction is about to get sold to someone else. And if you win the auction any remaining bids will be returned to you. It’s a great tool to use especially when you can’t be at your computer. It’s also the best way to stay in the auctions, and conserve your bids. We hope you enjoy the new No Re-entryAuctions, and we hope to see you (and your BidBuddy) participating in them soon!
If you are new to DealDash or the bidding fee online auction model and want to give it a try, use the promo code “dealdash2021” upon registration to get an extra 100 free bids with your first Bid Pack purchase.
