Someone please tell me where to buy bags like the irk bags, without buying an irk. As in, I want the literal bag blanks (or not blank). These are a size and shape that I love so much, I’ve torn most of mine to shreds over the years.
@creativecstasy If you’re okay with blank ones, they do sell those on Amazon. Someone here was selling some of their Meh bags on EBay…maybe they’ll chime in here and tell you if you can’t find their listing over there.
Just to clarify - does this apply to anything that’s bought during this time frame, whether it’s on any of the sister sites, or only things that are directly sold through the meh-rathon?
Not going so well for finding things to buy to lower the IRK cost. Things in the Mehrathon I already bought on Meh and Sidedeal: Dorothy cold brew maker, a different flatware set, a different vacuum sealer, eight Meh pint glasses, what’s left of 99 Kind bars, a Rubbermaid food storage set I got in an IRK, too many water bottles, the microwave-safe metal mixing bowls, two Dr. Seuss mugs and warmers, a different set of pot holders, some Puffin beer cozies, and socks. I also already have a Cuisinart food processor, an electric fly swatter, too many pots and pans, a Ninja multicooker, an Ooni pizza oven, a Sodastream machine, and too many kitchen knives (about which I am quite picky).
@ItalianScallion I usually try to hold off anything that could be an “impulse” purchase during a non-Meh-rathon day just for that reason, i.e. buy it later to lower an IRK purchase. Unless I’m thinking it might sell-out or never return. But I also factor in that some things seem to have higher prices during Meh-rathons, so will go for a really good bargain on something I have a use for.

@ironcheftoni mine left yesterday too. Since I won it, I’m wondering if it’s going to be like an old school irk. Probably not but I guess we will find out!
I’m regretting this. A kids or ladies wallet, a desktop wireless charging stand, a bag of “dental bones” for dogs, three pair of 3X men’s briefs, and two of whatever the hell these are.
Thanks! I thought it might be to a heating pad or something based on the little warning pics. I have to say this is the IRK’est IRK so far. The wallet is tiny and for cards only, I have no room or need for a 14" long desk-top charger, I don’t wear 3X briefs, the dog bones are for medium sized dogs, and all my neighbors have large to giant sized Labradoodles.
What’s in the Box?
It is a mystery ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

So we have to spend 75 bucks on crap to get the crappy irk down to a reasonable price? Yeah, no.
@smittypap I think it’s $100, not $75 right?
@smittypap Instant regret comes at a price.
@patentdude $10-ish would be a reasonable price.
I should be asleep, not buying an IRK.

@ItalianScallion Well, that’s pretty!
@Kyeh Yes indeed! @mediocrebot came thought on this one!
I expect this Irk to have powdered milk and non-Danish cookies.
@pakopako And undereye patches.
@pakopako Danish cookies or Stroopwafel, which are Dutch (Holland)?

@Kyeh any idea what search terms may help me find this at the big A?I do see a couple ebay listings, so that’s a good lead too!
@creativecstasy I’d be happy to send you a few if you pay for shipping (from New York). Whisper me your info if interested.
@creativecstasy The technical term for them is “Non Woven Polypropylene Tote Bags.” But you’ve got a much better offer from @heartny, obviously!
@creativecstasy I also have some I can send. How many are you looking to get?
@creativecstasy @speediedelivery You are very generous!
Woo Hoo! I’m in!

Just to clarify - does this apply to anything that’s bought during this time frame, whether it’s on any of the sister sites, or only things that are directly sold through the meh-rathon?
@ongware Only things sold during the Mehrathon.
@Kyeh @ongware And did it apply only to items bought AFTER the IRK? or ANY meh-rathon items before clicking the IRK ‘committment’ button?
@JohnQ118 @ongware You could buy them before or after - see Thumperchick’s answer to ankur88 below.
So buying something on sidedeal.com during the mehrathon counts or doesn’t count?
@ongware only items purchased from the Meh-rathon on Meh count.
@Thumperchick Thanks!
Does it matter if I buy IRK first and mehrathon items or other way around?
@ankur88 Doesn’t matter which you order first.

I’m hoping that I get some obscure obsolete tech item, like a RGB mouse from the early 2010’s.
I got notice my irk is on it’s way to be delivered tomorrow. Will I be first to the regret?
@ironcheftoni Mine says it will arrive Saturday. Looks like ppl in Texas receive theirs soonest.

@Springbank Hand warmer charger. I really like mine, too bad you didn’t get the warm part.
