If you’ve been waiting to join the voice-commanded robot servant craze, or if you just want an extra one one for another room in the house, you literally will not find a better deal than this. It’s kind of insane.

For a limited time, you can get an Echo Dot for $0.99 (normally about 50 bucks!) with 1 month of Amazon Music Unlimited (AMU). If you’re a Prime member, AMU is just $7.99 for one month, and if you’re not, it’s $9.99.

GET AN ECHO DO FOR $0.99

So basically, you’re getting the Echo Dot and ad-free access to 50 million songs with unlimited skips for about $10. Sheesh…you can barely get a basic-ass pumpkin spice latte for that!

If you need a refresher, the Echo dot is kind of like the magical lamp, and Alexa is the genie inside. You can ask her to set an alarm, control your music, read you the news, tell you a joke, turn on the lights, adjust your thermostat, order stuff from Amazon, check the weather, and do your dishes. (OK, not the dishes thing, but everything else is really real.) 

Plus, Alexa has thousands of other skills, lots of which are perfect for parents! There’s a Nursing Notes skill that reminds you which side baby nursed on last, and when. There’s a Kids Court skill to help settle disputes, and a Whose Turn skill to remind the fam who’s up on the chore chart. Alexa can order a pizza, play hide & seek, and read your kid a personalized bedtime story. I mean, we’re not saying she’s almost as good of a parent as we are…but we’re not not saying that, either.

So, if you were planning to wait for Black Friday to add Alexa to the fam, change your plans and get this deal before it runs out. 

Seriously. Stop reading and go get it. Now!

GET AN ECHO DOT FOR $0.99

Fine print alert: You’re subscribing for autorenewal of AMU every month, but you can cancel at any time and still keep the Dot. (Spoiler: you won’t want to! Trust us, once you go AMU, it’s hard to go back.)

The post OMFG. Get an Echo Dot For Just $0.99. appeared first on Scary Mommy.

Our ears (and bank accounts) are seriously freaking happy today. Amazon is offering an deal through their program Audible, so anyone can get instant access to audio books, news, guided fitness routines, meditations, and so much more… for free. Carpools, doing housework, taking a bath, and probably like 100 other things just got way better.

What is Audible?

Audible is a program by Amazon that maintains the largest audio library, featuring a seemingly unlimited collection of audiobooks, spoken-word entertainment, news, wellness content, and more. Millions of users swear by using it on the daily and we’re about to jump on the trend. Basically, having an Audible account means you can turn your time into something that feels way more entertaining… even if your hands aren’t free. (Hi moms!)

What do you get with Audible for free?

For 30 days, you can get an audiobook and two Audible original titles to start. You’ll also gain access to guided fitness routines, meditations, and daily news from The New York Tines, Wall Street Journal, and The Washington Post. Sign us up.

SIGN UP NOW

What do you get with an Audible membership?

If you have an Audible Gold monthly membership (aka after the free trial leaves you addicted), you can access one audiobook every month, two exclusive Audible original titles, unlimited access to guided fitness routines and meditations, and access to The New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and The Washington Post. The best part? If you download a book and you aren’t really digging it, you can exchange it for free.

Is Audible affordable?

Well, right now it literally couldn’t be more affordable. You can access Audible and create your own account for free. But because this is life and good things don’t always last forever, you’ll eventually have to part with a few dollars every month to keep that free audio content streaming. It will cost $14.95 monthly.

You can hack the Audible free trial.

Listen, we’re always thankful for free things but we’d be lying if we said we weren’t keeping an eye out for even more free things simultaneously. Here’s how to milk the free: Sign up for Amazon Prime before you sign up for your Audible trial, and you’ll be able to load more than one audiobook. Don’t tell anyone where you heard that.
