In the case of the Echo, it's not just the speaker quality -- though it is definitely better. The Echo features an array of microphones which definitely picks up commands better. The Dot has aux out, so you can use your own speakers or a stereo for playback -- which means more than one speaker. (The new Echos have aux out as well.) https://www.howtogeek.com/327622/which-amazon-echo-should-i-buy/

Alexa can call anyone in your contacts list.

I hate Verizon. We used to be with them, but they were terrible to do business with so we switched to AT&T. It's time to upgrade phones, so I checked in to see what they would do for us. The answer? Nothing. T-Mobile and AT&T offer BOGO.

Not a big Smart home guy, but I DO love Amazon's Alexa products. The Show is my preferred device and Quill is offering one for $179 with a free smart plug and other crap plus $5 off with code FIVE4U. If you usea Quill card to purchase the Show, you will get a $20 gift card... http://www.qvc.com/Amazon-Echo-Show-with-Smart-Plug%2C-Music-Offer%2C-%26-Audible-Books.product.E231445.html?productNumber=E231445&cm_ven=CJ&ref=CJ1&cm_cat=5325996&cm_pla=11827882&cm_ite=2617611&cvosrc=affiliate.cj.5325996 Happy shopping!

According to AT&T, Verizon, and Walmart, it does not.

When I was a kid, the people across the street had a mailbox with a bob that dropped when the door was open. It was, basically, a red ball on a string that sat in an eye bolt in the door. When the door was opened, the ball fell out of the eye bolt and hung by the cord. I see a lot of these on my commute... https://www.wdrake.com/buy-new-mail-box-alert-ball-337394 It's wireless! Only concern with high tech options is that your folks may not be good about changing the battery.

Most of the ads are offering gift cards with an iPhone 8 and activation. How does this work? We are currently AT&T customers with no contract and iPhone 5s devices. Do I simply walk into Walmart, but two phones, activate and leave with my existing account plus amortized phone payments and a gift car? Or do I have to switch from one carrier to the other to get the gift cards?

if you sign up for their newsletter, you will get a code each day. The inks cycle through about once a month per printer.

Consider the Meritline ink if you are concerned about the cost of consumables.

I just plugged in my 2025DN. Awesome color printer. We do not use it in the summer because when my printer and air conditioner kick in at the same time, my circuit breaker trips and my computer reboots. First world problems, right? It is also warm to run. Right now, I am using up toner then I am retiring this iron horse!

I'm going to disagree with everyone. I'd like to know more about how you plan to use the printer -- color or b&w, scanning, faxing, photos, pages per month, etc., and I own a color laser and a small fleet of inkjets, but I would like to say that the best value in printing at this moment is the Canon MX922 and Meritline's third party inks. Staples and Office Depot have the mx922 for $69.99 on BF and Meritline will sell you four sets (twenty cartridges) of ink for $18.99 w/Code: MLCA24CA with FREE SHIPPING. Let me tell you why I love the mx922... It's wifi, so you can drop it where you print. It scans a tray full of two sided documents or pictures. Photo printing is very good and borderless if you are so inclines. You can print envelopes and other special papers. It's a fax. It's a scanner. It's a copier. The two black ink cartridges are waterproof and photo. Basically, you can highlight text without smudging but get photo quality blacks and grays for images. It's cheapI've been using the ink for about five years and it has never produced poor quality or made a mess of my printer. Get this and you will print for a year for ~$90. If you are unhappy with the results, get a laser next BF.

I am going to STRONGLY advise you to not get one of these. You really should only consider brewers with a reservoir. It is more convenient to use these since you can easily choose different brew strengths PLUS the water is always hot. My favorite is t he Office Pro which has a commercial pump. It looks like Staples has this brewer plus 140 cups for $100.

http://www.meritline.com/dailydeals.aspx that should help!

well, duh -- smartphone! I actually shoot the breeze with anyone who will talk to me, but, increasingly, everyone is on their phone. Lots less fun, but I get it.

Who did you buy them from?

Anyone getting excited over the washer and dryer offerings? My 'value' detector is pulling me towards a GE pair -- the GTW680BSJWS and GTD65EBSJWS. Consumersearch.com and laundry.reviewed.com all had good things to say about the pair and consumer reviews are no worse than any other pair. http://laundry.reviewed.com/content/ge-gtw680bsjws-washing-machine-review http://laundry.reviewed.com/content/ge-gtd65ebsjws-dryer-review I particularly liked what this guy had to say... Home Depot and Lowes have the pair for $1k with a $50 rebate for buying two appliances. What do you think?
