We Love Our Brothers

 

Do you sew? One of the best companies for sewing machines is Brother, and guess who has them? Here’s a hint. It’s DealDash.

Do you or your wife, mother, daughter, Grandmother, or even your husband, brother, or friend enjoy sewing? Sewing is a hobby for many people now, but 100 years ago it was a necessity. And do you know what company has been around for 100 (108, actually) years? Brother! The Brother company was started in 1908 when the Yasui Sewing Machine Co. was established in Nagoya, Japan. In 1954, Brother International Corporation (US) was established as their first overseas sales affiliate.

I consider myself a fairly advanced sewist – I have been sewing since I was 15 years old, and I am 36 now. I have owned a few different brands of sewing machine, but time and again I come back to Brother when I decide to upgrade my machine.

DealDash has a lovely selection of Brother brand sewing machines up for auction. DealDash even has one of my all-time favorite Brother machines – the Brother 60-Stitch Computerized Sewing Machine. I had a Brother 60-Stitch Computerized Sewing Machine for 10 years, and I gave it away to a friend while it was still in perfect working order so I could upgrade. If you get the Brother 60-Stitch Computerized Sewing Machine from DealDash you will have a sewing machine that is easy to use and amazingly durable. You can check out this awesome machine at this link here.

Another favorite of mine is the Brother Computerized Sewing and Embroidery Machine SE 400. I have another much higher priced embroidery machine made by Singer, but this compact SE 400 is so easy and quick to use I find myself using this one more than my higher end machine. DealDash has the Brother Computerized Sewing and Embroidery Machine SE 400 at this link here if you would like to check it out.

DealDash has even more sewing and embroidery machines available for auction.  You can find both regular sewing machine and embroidery machines on DealDash at this link.

 

Thanks for reading, and I hope that I inspired you to either get out your machine and start sewing, or get a new machine from DealDash! Good luck and happy bidding everyone!

 

 

 

Coffee Talk With DealDash

Almost everyone I know (with the exception of a few odd ones!) loves coffee. Some people like hot, some like iced, and some don’t care as long as it’s in their cup.

 

There are lots of different ways to get coffee – the busiest of the busy people just go ahead and buy it from the coffee shop, but most people like to make their coffee at home to save money and the hassle of going out to the coffee shop. Luckily for us, DealDash has a huge array of different ways for us to get our java fix. Let’s start with the Keurig machine.

Keurig

Most people have used a Keurig at some point in time, but in case you’re not familiar with the Keurig, the K-Cup is a plastic container with a paper filter inside. Ground coffee beans, tea leaves, or other flavor mixes are packed in the K-Cup and sealed with an air-tight lid. This keeps the coffee grounds fresher for much longer than traditional bags. When the K-Cup is placed in a Keurig brewer, the brewer punctures both the foil lid and the bottom of the K-Cup with a sharp implement, and forces hot water under pressure through the K-Cup and into your mug of choice. Yummm. Smell that fresh brewed coffee. If you haven’t gotten around to getting yourself a Keurig yet, DealDash offers Keurig machines as well as the K-Cups to go with them. Check them out on DealDash now.

If brewing huge pots of coffee for yourself and your family is more your style, then you’re in luck. DealDash also offers the two most popular brands of drip coffee makers, Mr. Coffee and Hamilton Beach. This type of coffee maker has been around for over 100 years, but of course it’s designs has changed quite a bit over the years. If you’re looking for a drip style coffee maker, just click on over to DealDash and take your choice of the many options that they have offered.

If you already have a coffee maker, be it a Keurig or drip style, DealDash has you covered on accessories such as coffee grinders, milk and sugar sets, and even bags of coffee and K-Cups! Just check out this link here and it will take you to all of the coffee related products that you have to choose from.

Remember, if you don’t happen to win the item, you can always BIN (Buy It Now) for the retail price, get all of your bids back, and get the item shipped to you with free shipping every time. Coffee and coffee related accessories would be a great item to “go all the way” to BIN price on, because it’s most likely an item that you would be buying anyway, regardless of if you were bidding on DealDash or not. Good luck and happy bidding, everyone!

 

Making Your Yard a Peaceful Place With DealDash

With all of the deadlines and hustle and bustle of life sometimes it’s nice to just come home and relax outside by your beautiful lawn. But what if your lawn isn’t so beautiful and peaceful?

As someone who is easily stressed out I crave quiet time alone just sitting outside on my deck that looks out over my lawn. However, after some poor lawn management last year my yard isn’t looking so nice. Luckily for me DealDash has plenty of things that can perk up my backyard to make it not only beautiful, but a peaceful and tranquil place that I can go and escape my worries for a few minutes.

I find the sound of running or trickling water extremely relaxing and peaceful. One of the first things that I would like to get to perk up my backyard is a fountain from DealDash.  The fountains that DealDash offers are made to last season after season, and they are constructed of stone powder and polyresin so they will be durable for outside use. If you think that a fountain would look great in your yard, garden, or patio you can check out this link here to see the fountains that DealDash is offering for auction.

Another thing that I have always admired in other people’s backyards is when there is a bench overlooking the yard, instead of just some lawn chairs. Benches lend a touch of class and they don’t break the bank, either. Benches are great if you want to share a seat with your kids or your sweetheart, and some benches even have gliding features built in for a soothing rocking effect. If you’re interested in checking out the benches up for offer on DealDash just click this link here and it will show you some different styles.

I hope that you are excited about getting your backyard into shape! You can set your Bid Buddy and get one of these great products for a fraction of the cost. If you don’t happen to win the auction, though, you can still be a winner by using BIN (Buy it Now). When you BIN you get the product that you wanted, all of your bids back, free shipping, and keep all of the bids that you won as being the highest bidder. Good luck and happy bidding everyone.

 

Happy Marathon Monday from DealDash!

Happy Marathon Monday from DealDash! Today is Marathon Monday, so to celebrate, let’s talk about marathons and running.

In case you didn’t know, the Boston Marathon is always held on Patriots’ Day, which is a holiday that is only celebrated in Massachusetts and Maine, and it’s always on the third Monday of April. The first Boston Marathon was in 1897, and it was inspired by the success of the first modern-day marathon competition in the 1896 Summer Olympics. The Boston Marathon is the world’s oldest annual marathon and ranks as one of the world’s best-known road racing events.  THe Boston Marathon started with 18 participants in 1897, and now the marathon attracts an average of about 30,000 registered participants each year, with 30,251 people entering last year in 2015.

You don’t need to be a marathoner to be a great runner, though. You just need drive, determination, stamina, some free time, and some suitable running gear. DealDash can help you cultivate drive, determination, and stamina by participating in auctions, and DealDash can also help you out with some great running gear. DealDash has recently added some awesome new athletic clothing to their lineup of auctions, if you check out this link here it will take you right to them so you can browse around and see if there are any auctions that you would like to bookmark.

 

The most important article of clothing when you are running, however, is your shoes, of course. There are so many brands and styles of running shoes out there to choose from, here are some quick tips on getting a great pair of running shoes.

  • Fit – You need to be professionally fitted for your running shoes, and even after being fitted at the shoe store it’s advisable to try on many many pairs of shoes to make sure that they are a perfect fit.
  • Terrain – Are you planning on running on the road or a similar flat surface like a track? Or are you planning on running on sand, dirt, or a soft surface? You should decide this before you go shopping, because while you technically CAN throw on any pair of shoes to run on any surface, it’s a much better plan to decide what surface you are planning on running before you purchase your running shoes.
  • Frugality – You should get the best pair of running shoes that’s feasible for you and your current situation. The best way to save money on buying your running shoes is to win gift cards for Foot Locker on DealDash. If you would like to check out the Foot Locker gift card auctions on DealDash just click this link here and it will take you to DealDash so you can check them out. $100 Foot Locker Gift Card

 

I hope that this article gave you a little inspiration and motivation to start a running program for health and fitness. DealDash would love to hear any success stories that the blog readers have had. Feel free to post a comment and tell us about your fitness journey. Good luck and happy bidding everyone!
