Unlike the day after Thanksgiving, when people are rushing online and to the stores to look for deals, the day after Christmas is usually a time to recover from the festivities and check your budget to see how much all that gifting has cost you. However, if you're in a shopping mood, or if you suddenly realized you forgot somebody important, there are still some deals out there.
Day one of Prime Big Deal Days is here, and while there are plenty of big-ticket discounts, not everyone is looking to shell out a bunch of cash (myself included). The good news is you don't have to spend a fortune to score something good during the two-day event, which ends Thursday, October 9th, at 3AM ET / 12AM PT.
Last year, I did something that I never thought I would do in a million years: I lost my passport while traveling abroad. To make matters worse, I was traveling solo. My flight home was in two days, and I couldn't remember the last time I had seen it after leaving the airport. To set the scene for you, I had been spending the weekend staying in a gorgeous open-air villa at Origins Lodge, a luxury mountainside ecolodge nestled between dense Costa Rican rainforest.
