Saxum Posted July 13, 2023 Posted July 13, 2023 We went to Amazon Fresh Tuesday (yesterday) and Wednesday (today) but I have bought nothing online. Been a busy day so may not buy anything online but I am looking at laptop for vacation trip. Most of the stuff I see promoted is Amazon gear which I do not use. I find Amazon good if you know what you are looking for but bad if you are trying to narrow down choices. Hard to specify specific requirements. Quote
ExiledInIllinois Posted July 13, 2023 Posted July 13, 2023 Yeah. Delivery any second. A durable bag for my 30' 0AWG jumper cables. Regular $19.99... Now only $14. PrimeDay is everyday for this lucky fella! You never know when you're gonna have to reach around a semi... Hence the 30 foot long cables. 😆 Quote
Doc Posted July 13, 2023 Posted July 13, 2023 (edited) I bought a ceiling fan/light from Amazon on Sunday. Was delivered yesterday. The wife looked at the price again yesterday and it dropped $40 so I bought another one and returned the one that was delivered because they wouldn't give me the difference. My son was also looking for an iWatch and bought one yesterday for 30% off. Edited July 13, 2023 by Doc Quote

This is a great deal if all you are looking for is a casual laptop... I watch Bills games on it with no lag. Fast as hell, the battery lasts seemingly forever, and it charges up fast. Comes with a soft case too. https://www.walmart.com/ip/Acer-315-15-6-Celeron-4GB-32GB-Chromebook-HD-Display-Intel-N4000-4GB-LPDDR4-32GB-eMMC-Protective-Sleeve-Pure-Silver-Chrome-OS-CB315-3H-C2C3/565923637?wmlspartner=wlpa&selectedSellerId=8537&gclsrc=aw.ds&&adid=22222222227565923637_8537_150278581164_20037920071&wl0=&wl1=g&wl2=c&wl3=657014104297&wl4=pla-2023633393811&wl5=9012055&wl6=&wl7=&wl8=&wl9=pla&wl10=152186001&wl11=online&wl12=565923637_8537&veh=sem&gclid=Cj0KCQjwnrmlBhDHARIsADJ5b_mXdu74fdTcJvi3wRSayjw71ug6TNOJsH8vV01VSOEYndIOMLk66T0aAkk7EALw_wcB Quote
Augie Posted July 13, 2023 Posted July 13, 2023 My wife bought an immersion blender around noon a couple Sunday’s ago, and it arrived by dinner that night. Quote

Sometimes I do editing offline. Quote
Big Turk Posted July 13, 2023 Posted July 13, 2023 I bought a new firestick since mine is constantly rebooting and is very slow now. 24.99 for the top of the line one which was almost 60% off normal. 1 Quote
Joe Ferguson forever Posted July 13, 2023 Posted July 13, 2023 I looked for a dehumidifier. Pump is not working on mine and no floor basement drain. Got one there only to realize it had no pump. So I cleaned up the old one, put it above a sink and ...I think i'll be keeping the new one cuz the bucket is still filling up. Still some hope. That's what I love about Amazon. They make sending stuff back effortless. Quote
PetermansRedemption Posted July 13, 2023 Posted July 13, 2023 I usually can’t find much worth buying. Got a toilet seat this year at 30% off but that’s about it. Usually a bunch of garbage deals on obscure items or amazon products. 1 Quote

Target, Walmart, Wayfair, Best buy etc. that's a good thing if you need something for your home. Quote
The Jokeman Posted July 13, 2023 Posted July 13, 2023 My wife but us our new portable Cooler. Ironically she had it in our cart to see if be Prime and the initial color we chose wasn't but when we went back to the listing a navy blue one was so ended up buying that one instead. Quote
muppy Posted July 13, 2023 Posted July 13, 2023 I have in the past but so far not his year. It needs to be something of real need. I don't impulse buy like I used to I have in the past received great deals on bath bombs , dog treats and tea lights. I am a frugal shopper though and Love a great deal! Quote
teef Posted July 13, 2023 Posted July 13, 2023 i just got a ring toss game for the pool. it was super cheap, so why not? i'm not sure if it was even part of prime day, or it's just a piece of *****. we'll find out. Quote

I'm a "buy it when you need it" kind of guy. At Christmas time I don't ask for/want anything. The $40 off the fan was a nice surprise. 2 1 Quote

Johnny Hammersticks Posted July 13, 2023 Posted July 13, 2023 Since we recently “cut the cord” and are streaming everything through Amazon Firesticks, we upgraded all 3 that we have in the house. I think they were like $23 each for the newest ones. Quote
The Avenger Posted July 14, 2023 Posted July 14, 2023 My twins are off to college soon so I was able to get some things they'll need - mini fridge, microwave, some fans, some power strips. Saved a few bucks on each - all told saved probably about $150 over non-Prime Day prices. Prime Day is good if you need something but not a particular something - i.e. - a fan. If you don't need a specific brand or model you can find something that's a decent deal. If you need something specific there's a good chance it's not even on sale. Prime Days are also great for Amazon devices and certain brands that put a number of their products in sale (i.e. - JBL had like 25% off a lot of their speakers and sound bars). Hit and miss depending on what you are looking for. Quote
Draconator Posted July 14, 2023 Posted July 14, 2023 I almost bought a SodaStream. Reg $150, was $109 during prime days. Quote
Saxum Posted July 14, 2023 Author Posted July 14, 2023 I looked for a laptop but unlike other sites which you can specify requirements (i,e, I consider Windows 11 to be equivalent to Windows 8 and not "upgrading" to it) so unless you have a specific model you want and are searching to see if available on Amazon Prime it is useless.
