What exactly can a penny buy these days? This is a question often asked. Google the question and you will find a few answers. Not much, apparently, according to most. Well, I was pleasantly surprised when I actually set out to make purchases for one cent. This blog documents the various items I scored for a penny or less.

What qualifies a purchase as a penny loot? The cost of anything mentioned in this blog includes the purchase price, tax, shipping and handling fee, if any. If a rebate is involved, the postage to mail it is part of the cost. If a coupon is bought and used in the deal, that figures into the total as well. And the total cost must be equal to or less than US$0.01. The item must also be procured from a source available to the public - "My aunt gave me a sweater" doesn't count.

Some costs are not included in the one cent total. Chief among them is the time and effort to hunt for and complete the deals. Gas and mileage is not counted if a trip to the store is required. Computer and office equipment amortization, paper and ink expenditures are all excluded.

As expected, quite a few of the items I bought came from China. Depending on your tastes and needs, some of the stuff may be considered totally worthless. But that is not the point of this exercise.

This blog also does not dwell on where and how the items were bought. I frequent a few deal sites for information that lead to some of the purchases. The various auction sites are also a treasure trove to explore. But I would rather devote the blog to present the results - the items I obtained for a penny or less, in no particular order.

Camera Flash Diffuser - More and Cheaper

I got the white one for a penny before.  Now I got them at one cent for each set of 3.  Each set includs a white, a blue, and a yellow one.

Flash Diffuser for Speedlight Flash Canon 430EX
100% brand new and do not used
The diffuser is used to create exposures of even density over the entire surface of film.
Use the diffuser by placing it flush against the front of the lens and exposing through it.
The light that passes through the diffuser and on to the film will create an even density across the surface of the film.
Flash straight on if without our diffuser causes the light to go forward only and creates a harsh shadow behind the subject.
The flash with our diffuser installed and tilted at 45 degrees gives a nice soft wrap around of light with a soft shadow behind the subject. This fits cleanly over the head of your existing flash, no need for cumbersome attachments, hooks.
Try us and see the difference. It disperses the light over a wider area for a softer, more balanced and natural effect than you didn't use before.
It helps to reduce hard background shadows and eliminates the annoying red eye effect.
