You Can Set Up a Eufy Security System for up to 59% Off Right Now
Security cameras can get expensive, especially when you add in the cost of monthly subscriptions most of them charge. Eufy is one of the few brands that doesn’t force you to get a subscription plan with them to be able to use their cameras. Right now, Amazon is having a sale on Eufy products going up to 59% off. Here are the best ones.
The Eufy Security Kit
The Eufy Security Kit brings you the basics to get started. I got this kit about six months ago and have been enjoying not paying monthly services to use it. It brings the battery-powered Eufy Security Video Doorbell S220 2K (which can also be hardwired) and the Eufy Homebase hub, which connects the camera to the Internet via your home router. You can get the Eufy Security Kit for $99.99 (originally $199.99) after a 45% discount and a $10 clip-on coupon. This is one of the lowest prices I have seen for this kit.

The Eufy Floodlight Cam E221
This Floodlight Cam E221 is cheaper right now than it was after last year’s biggest discount. You can get it right now for $89.99 (originally $219.99). As I’ve previously said, here’s what you can expect from this floodlight camera:
As with any smart floodlight, you’ll get to keep tabs on your property remotely with 1080p footage, motion detection, and bright LED lights. Arguably, the best thing you get from this floodlight camera (and any Eufy security camera) is the absence of monthly service fees, which can easily save you hundreds of dollars a year. However, a trade-off that can be good or bad, depending on your preferences, is that the lack of a monthly service means the device saves its footage on local storage rather than the cloud, which most of the competition uses. It has 4GB of eMMC memory, which can store up to 14 days of video. If that doesn’t seem like enough to you, know that you can expand the storage to 30 days for one device by signing up for their $2.99-per-month Basic Plan (which defeats the purpose of having no monthly fees).
The Floodlight Cam E221 works with Alexa and Google Assistant voice commands, allowing you to set up routines and cast videos to Amazon or Google devices (you must talk to the smart speakers, not the floodlight camera). However, it doesn’t support any other platforms like IFTTT or even other Eufy devices. It is very much a standalone product, but it allows you to connect to your home’s wifi and control it with the Eufy mobile app. And since it’s wired, there’s no need to recharge it.

The Eufy Security Outdoor Cam E210
If you’re looking for a single outdoor wired camera that is easy to install, waterproof, and has night vision, an automatic spotlight, and has no monthly fee, consider the Outdoor Cam E210 for $44.99 (originally $79.99). This is one of the lowest prices I have seen for this camera. You just need to install a magnetic mount and pop the camera in—and make sure you’re within 20 feet from a power outlet so the cable reaches it. You can choose whether to use local storage with an SD card or use the cloud-based feature for a fee. The cloud can also be used to back up your local storage. You can read all the features and specs from Eufy’s website.

Eufy cameras are great for anyone looking to save money on their security system and cut monthly fees. These aren’t the best security cameras, but for their price and lack of subscription fees, they can make a solid addition to most homes for less money. You can read more about Eufy’s subscription fees, features, and security practices from our review here.

Make These Berry Cheesecake Twists Out of Leftover Pie Crust
It’s mid-winter, but I’m still excavating some of the frozen treasures from my freezer after a whirlwind holiday season. Besides turkey bones and lumps of cookie dough (which I’m enjoying every evening), I also found a stray roll of pie crust. It has no box, so I don’t know if it’s vegan, gluten-free or what, but it’s definitely pie dough—and pie dough is always flaky and delicious. If you have a spare crust and you’re not interested in making a whole pie, use your leftovers to make these berry cheesecake twists.
Pie crust is extremely tender and flavorful all on its own, and I’ve broken my fair share of plain crust off the edge of whole pies. (This is called snacking crust.) Pie crust is primarily flour and salt studded with plenty of fat. When it’s rolled out and baked, the fat melts and the water evaporates; this creates little pockets of air. The results are buttery and tender, and a perfect vehicle for flavor—and you don’t have to add much flavor to make a good thing even better.
Berry Cheesecake pinwheels or twists
For an easy snack that mimics the tangy flavors of a berry-topped cheesecake, I layered a bit of blackberry jam and sweetened cream cheese into the pie crust and shaped it into cookie-esque creations. You can get creative with how you make your cheesecake twists, but these are the shapes I made.
Pinwheels
1. Layer the fillings
In a small bowl, warm two ounces of cream cheese in the microwave for 10 to 15 seconds. Add a tablespoon of powdered sugar and stir until smooth. Unroll the thawed pie crust on a cutting board that will fit in the fridge or freezer. Spread the cream cheese over the entire surface. Pop the cutting board into the freezer for a few minutes to set the cream cheese. Spread about two tablespoons of jam on top of the cheese layer. Make sure the jam layer is very thin. It’ll squish out the edges if it isn’t.

Ready-made pie crust is usually already circular so I cut the circle in half. This keeps the pinwheels from getting too bulky in the center. Starting on the rounded side, begin rolling the crust up all the way to the cut-edge. Do the same with the other half moon of dough. Put the cutting board back in the freezer for about 10 minutes to firm up.
3. Bake the pinwheels

Take the pie crust logs out and cut half-inch segments. I like to use the floss method to keep the swirl shape intact. Lay the swirls, jammier-side up, on a parchment lined baking sheet. Optionally, you can egg wash them on the edges and sprinkle some sugar on them too. Bake them at 375°F for about 12 minutes, or until lightly browned and the jam is bubbling.
Twists
1. Prepare the dough
Prepare the dough the same way as in Step 1 above. For Step 2, fold the dough in half, as if you were making a quesadilla. Cut this half moon in half, so you have two quarters of a circle. Put the cutting board back in the freezer to firm up for another 10 minutes.

Cut each quarter into six small wedges. It’s okay if some of the jam squeaks out. I like to use egg wash here, before twisting. Egg wash one side of the triangles and sprinkle them generously with sugar. Then space them out on a parchment lined baking sheet and, holding the wide end down, twist the triangles once or twice. Do this with all of the triangles.

3. Bake the twists
Bake them at 375°F for about 12 minutes, or until browned and the jam is bubbling. The very tips of the twists will become dark brown and crispy, mostly because of the sugars caramelizing. Although that doesn’t bother me (actually, it’s my favorite part), you can tuck under the tips before baking if you don’t want that to happen.
Cool the little pie crust cookies on a wire cooling rack for at least five minutes to let the sugars cool and harden. Enjoy these tangy, fruity swirls for breakfast or for a quick coffee break while you admire your newly acquired freezer space.
