Club Benefits
AirTags are incredibly handy, and people use them for all sorts of things. From keeping track of pets to finding the TV remote stuck between couch cushions, the number of ways AirTags have proven their value is countless — but I’m planning to use them in the weirdest way yet.
Right now, you can snag a 4-pack of 1st-generation AirTags for $56 at Woot. Instead of paying the normal $99, you're saving 42%. This essentially makes each AirTag cost $14 — exactly the incentive I need to throw a few of them into my trash bins. Here’s why.
When I bought my home a few years back, I couldn’t imagine how brutally windy it could get by the beach. By the time summer arrived, there was one particular night when the gusts were so violent it sounded like I was in a jet stream. A few weeks later, I went out to put the trash bin at the curb for morning pickup, but when I woke up the following day, my bin was gone.
I ended up walking around the block, then down the street, only to find it resting near the side of a neighbor's home. However, I was still missing the top cover. After spending another 20 minutes searching, I ultimately found it hiding underneath one of the cars parked on the street.
There was also another incident very recently when I woke up to find one of my recycling bins toppled over after being collected earlier in the morning. This time I was lucky because it was nestled right against the curb rather than blown off somewhere far away.
These experiences remind me more than ever why I need to slap an AirTag on them, so I can easily keep tabs on where they ultimately land. Obviously, I’ll need to find a way to fasten them to each of my plastic bins, but the ability to track them down will save me plenty of frustration in the future.
I pulled the trigger on this 42% off deal because it’s still way cheaper than buying a replacement trash bin. Honestly, it’s crazy how expensive they can be.
