1. At Costco, I bought a Samsung A51 5G phone.

Has all the bells and whistles I need, in addition to the storage space than my previous Samsung phone I have had for over 4 years. Plus I can watch Netflix and Disney+(which I bought a year subscription to). I have had Netflix since 2015 and LOVE IT. I did not need the S21 or the S21 Ultra, which run up there.

I paid $200 less at Costco than I would have at the Verizon store. With taxes, it was well under $400. I put down $330 and paid my son in cash for the remainder that would have been on our family account. Costco has a deal with Verizon, Apple, AT&T, and T Mobile.

If I am correct the E6 allows you to replace the battery. That is IMO a big selling point. CentralMass Mar 2021 #14
