Instapot question... I saw someone ask whether it was big enough for 5 people. What about making small amounts of rice or small dishes? I have HD crockpots that were too big. Would this one work for servings for two people? Yes! The great thing about pressure cookers is that you can cook small amounts as well as large amounts. It is different than a slow cooker in that way. Oh good I picked up one too! I had to ship it to my sister in St.Louis.. because I'll be there on vacation next week |

I bought a Fire Stick. I picked up three of the Jackerys to include with gifts. I also ordered two Exploding Kittens games to save for Christmas presents. I already have a pressure cooker that I use often, so I have no need for the Instapot.

I was going to pick up another Kindle Fire to have around, but can't get it to add to my cart. Grrrr. Ditto. Go on chat and ask for help. I had to put it in cart at full price then they credited. |

Thanks-I got a fridge binz. If I can't use it in my craft room I can probably find a use for it in my kitchen. |

Ok thanks to the enabling I just bought some Jackery chargers for me and for gifts. I would have bought an Instant Pot but the voltage won't work in NZ. IP is going to be available in NZ/Australia soon but no doubt the prices will be outrageous.

The jackery bars don't show as being prime day only specials for me. They are cheap though. We use ours a lot. I should get some spares.

I'll also confess to ordering several of the Bose SoundSport headphones. Hey, in my defense, they were 50% off.  |

I thought there was some really strange stuff but I did buy a bat house. Couldn't find anything else I needed. Can I just say that I love you have bat house down as a need?  |

I'm not seeing much - there is too much to browse through, really. I did grab two of those car tools for busting out of cars - I've been meaning to pick one or two up for a while.

Maybe I missed it above, but what is Alexa and how do you use it? TIA!! I didn't see where anyone answered your question so hope I am not duplicating. Alexa is the name that is used for the Amazon Echo. The Echo does lots of things - you can add things to your shopping list, order from Amazon, play music from your Amazon Prime account, ask it questions (kind of like Siri), etc. It is $50 off today. |

My son has one in his room that he uses for listening to music. When I tuck him in on school nights, I say "Alexa, set an alarm for 6:15 am" and she then wakes him up. We set it up so that the alarm is Crush from Finding Nemo that talks to him. |

I was very bad today. I bought an Instant Pot and an Echo and thought I was done. However, I then remembered that Amazon had sent me a coupon code for $30 off a $150 purchase on Prime Day if you paid with your Amazon VISA...and promptly bought a Silhouette Cameo starter bundle  |

Caved and got the Instant Pot. Hopefully I won't regret it. Refupeas are such enablers.  I just ordered a food sealer because of the camping thread the other day  Pretty please can you put a link for the camping thread! |

Rumor has it that there will be at least one model on sale! I saw one on sale - $69.99 (normal price $119.99). I didn't get it but I finally take the plunge and get an Amazon Echo. |

I also jumped on the bandwagon and bought an Instant Pot. Looking forward to cooking without using the oven (especially in the summer months!). I also picked up a Kitchen Aid stand mixer. I've been wanting one for a few years and I'm excited to finally have one. Today was a good shopping day.
