I posted a discussion like this a month or two ago. When I signed up for AliExpress. Well Chris signed up for it tonight so he could look for some stuff for the four wheelers and he told me that it was offering the 3 for $0.99 offer and told me to pick three things out. I know ladies, y'all are jealous at the utterly adorable romantic act he performed. LOL. I decided to take a chance and order three electronic things. I know, Chinese made crap is probably only going to be worth what I paid for it. BUT I will still be sharing how good or poorly they work when they get here. The first is a multi function smart watch that is supposed to be similar to a fitbit or apple watch. Now for $0.33 cents, I don't expect it to be anywhere close to what a "name brand" would be. But it supposed to do alerts, sleep/oxygen/blood pressure and heart rate monitoring. Its supposed to do similar things but again I am not expecting it to do all that stuff. I wanted pink but they didn't have it. So I got black. The second thing is Air Pro earbuds. I am constantly having to make phone calls for work etc, and I have about ten pairs of ear buds. I refuse to pay for real apple ear buds. So I figured for $0.33 if these worked for a week I would be happy. So we will see. It says that they come in case so we will see how they come and how they work. I did get black instead of white because both phones I use (work and personal) are black. So now the earbuds will match for the whole week that they work. The third and final thing that I got was a wireless bluetooth mouse for my HP 2 in 1. Even though I bought it to use mainly as a tablet. I haven't really used it in the capacity since we don't have WiFi at home. I have been using it as a laptop and the little touchpad mouse makes me mad sometimes. So I bought one for $0.33. We will see how that goes. With tax or shipping or whatever the grand total was $1.73 So even if everything only works a week it will be okay and well worth the money. Enjoy this screenshot to see the probably super poor quality of these electronics I ordered. The first shipping update said they will be here before October 17th. So the countdown is on. I know there are plenty of deal chasers and online shoppers here in myLot land. Which "bargain" shopping app have you had the best luck with. In the last few months Temu has been the quickest shipping etc.

I hope it surprises me. But I doubt it will last long.

I can imagine the look on my wife's face if I told her, "Alright, babe. Here's a buck. Go nuts."

Sometimes these really cheap items surprise us and last for much long than you'd expect. I hope that is the case for you.

Hopefully they will all surprise you and work well, and longer than a week! Sounds like a good deal if they do work.
