good news for gadget lovers who don’t
have a lot of cash to spend on them your
local dollar store has an electronic
section and you might just be surprised
at what you can pick up for a mere buck
or two I’d buy that for a dollar hey
everyone welcome to gear up the
WatchMojo series that looks at the
latest in tech trends I’m Marc Saltzman
and in this video we’re gonna look at
ten gadgets to pick up at your local
dollar store 99-cent store or whatever
you call it weight has WatchMojo run out
of ideas for top ten lists absolutely
not
we’re just crazy enough to do one on top
10 dollar store tech and if your friends
call you el cheapo instead of al-jabr oh
this one’s for you as long as you have
reasonable expectations when it comes to
quality
you won’t be disappointed with what
we’ve picked for this list all right
number one an LED book light from GE
unless you’ve been using a tablet with a
backlit screen reading an e-book or
paper book in bed can be an issue unless
you turn on a lamp which might disturb
your significant other instead pick up
the GE LED book light in blue pink or
other colors and clamp it to your ear
reader paperback or hardcover book this
adjustable book light includes a 10,000
hour LED bulb number 2 credit card USB
cable don’t you hate it when your
smartphone’s battery is about to die and
you didn’t bring a charger cable with
you well we found a no-name charging and
syncing that’s roughly the size of a
credit card so you can keep it tucked
into your wallet essentially the eight
inch cable is coiled up inside a
rectangular plastic case and it’s ideal
for most Android phones as it’s a male
microUSB connector on one end accessible
once you remove the quarter piece and a
full-size male USB cable on the other
end
number-three Eclipse pro earphones keep
a spare pair of earbuds in your jacket
or backpack just in case there’s no
shortage of crappy pairs to choose from
at your local dollar store but in our
thrift shopping we actually found a pair
that’s not as bad as you might think
they’re called Eclipse pro earphones and
for a buck they’re handy to keep around
should you need it it offers a teeny bit
more bass than others we tried and
they’re more comfortable look they’re a
buck what did you expect number four a
stylus and pen ever found yourself
taking notes on your smartphone or
tablet during a meeting or presentation
and realize that an old
fashion pen-and-paper just might be
faster or maybe you’ve got long nails
and you can’t use your touchscreen
easily or in winter months you want to
keep your gloves on
whatever the reason stylus pens for
capacitive multi-touch screens can cost
up to 15 bucks or you might opt for this
no-name stylus for a single smiling
George Washington this stylus is also a
ballpoint pen so you can just click the
top to drop the pen through the stylus
tip when you need it number 5 tech 1
retractable Mouse are you thinking of
hitting up a big-box store if you need a
spare computer mouse instead of paying
more than you need to for a couple of
bucks you can find the retractable USB
mouse from tech 1 available in white and
grey or black and grey this small right
or left-handed Mouse plugs into an
available USB port on your PC or Mac no
drivers need it and you can pull on the
retractable 30 inch cord to give
yourself as much space as you need at
the very least it’s a good travel
companion number 6 a compact speaker
doubling as a clamshell compact used to
put on makeup this hype’ branded product
is also an external speaker for your
favorite audio device like a smartphone
tablet or music player while it’s not a
bluetooth wireless speaker it includes a
custom 2 foot cable that plugs into the
source and has an integrated USB
connector to juice up the rechargeable
speaker when needed stereo sound quality
is surprisingly loud and decent number 7
tripod and selfie remote in Canada we
found a four in one product called the
tripod and selfie remote as the name
suggests you simply snap your smartphone
into the holder and either open up the
small tripod legs to place on a table
paper for facetiming or Skype use the
bendable legs to wrap it around an
object or use it like a selfie stick and
use the wireless Bluetooth shutter it
comes with to snap the pic wirelessly at
four bucks Canadian or three bucks
American it’s the priciest gadget in our
top 10 list number eight iPad cases from
extreme Mac in BYO
you don’t need to spend upwards of 20
bucks for a protective iPad case when
you can find one for a buck or two there
are multiple options to decorate and
protect your tablet including one’s from
brands like Xtreme Mac and BYO
the durable and form-fitting silicon
Xtreme mat cases were available in
multiple colors and designs for
different iPad models and has a textured
side
and back for added grip number nine
motion sensor light ideal for closets
bathrooms porches garages stairs and
other dimly lit areas you want to
illuminate the aptly-named motion sensor
light is a three LED light with a motion
sensor so it’ll shine bright light once
it senses movement up to two and a half
feet away such as you opening up a
closet door in the bedroom the light has
an auto off function after thirty
seconds three Triple A batteries are
required but not included but hey you
can pick those up at the dollar store
