I put a bunch of random things on my wish list such as makeup, a garden stool, yoga socks, a desk chair for my daughter, etc. I downloaded the app and turned on notifications. If I understand correctly, I’ll receive a notification if and when any of those items on my wish list have lightening deals. If the price is right I’ll purchase the item(s). Also use camel camel camel.com. Sorry, shouldn’t have any spaces in that but autocorrect added them. You can create an account then copy the URL from Amazon for the items. You can see the price history to see how often the price has dropped to know if it’s likely to drop. You can also enter a price you would like. Then if the item ever drops below that price you’ll get an email letting you know.

I actually didn't buy anything last year. The sale didn't seem as good as the year before. I contemplated the instant pot for a second and thought better of it.
I don't have great hopes for this year's sale but we'll see.

I would have said nothing, but there are 3 things-
TRTL neck pillow. I had one and left it on the plane. So I don’t know how much they will be, but I hope to get another.
The other 2 are not prime day specific The Music stream for $.99 and I’m going to pay for a year of audible for $119. I’ve been a member for many years so this is kind of a no brained to save money.

My DH already got a tv for the bedroom. He has been wanting a tv for a while now. I’d like a ring doorbell, but he isn’t as interested as I am and I can’t say we need one. I will get a couple smart plugs. Nothing very exciting.

I ordered a Kindle paperwhite. I've been looking at them for a while and just bit the bullet.

I’m guessing that with such a low price point (so much less than the Spot, even) and that it is new, they won’t discount the Show 5 beyond the buy 2 deal. My husband used the gift card I gave him for Father’s Day and bought one when it came out and loves it. It is pretty reasonable, but since I don’t need it I can wait for a sale. Glad to hear positive reviews though! Hey, did you see that the Show 5 IS on sale? Only $49.99 - so $40 off!

I know some people are refusing to buy anything from Amazon. Apparently their warehouse workers are or are going to be on strike starting today.

It’s the Amazon app. Every time I open it, it says “allow notifications?” I’ve always clicked “not now” until yesterday when I clicked “allow.” I’ll go back and turn them off when prime day is over.

after three years of asking I caved and got DS a Nintendo Switch. I've followed the sales, and the offer with game or GC is the only deal I've ever seen (also one of the reasons he doesn't have one). Plus, it means Christmas is easier on me this year, both the kids "big" gifts have been knocked out. Nice to have a little cash to be able to get stuff like this done early.

I've been pretty exciting so far - a pack of Whitestrips for my daughter and a couple charger cords. I think the Show 5 is a good deal. I bought a Show last year on Prime Day and like it. I am thinking about getting a couple of Dots to use in other rooms and at our cabin.

I got a Ring doorbell and it came with an Echo Dot (3rd generation) for $69.99! Seemed like a pretty good deal to me! There's really nothing else I need to have, but I'm going to keep an eye out for deals on cleaning supplies or snack foods, as those are always needed around here, so why not get a deal on them?! Happy shopping, everyone!

I got the Firestick 4K. I also picked up a 20-lb weighted blanket for under $30, a $50 iTunes card d for $40, and a 12-pk of Quest Rocky Road bars for under $16, as well as a few other small items I had on my list.
Don’t forget to choose the extended shipping if you have that option. I have already earned $8 toward digital content (won’t be added to my wallet until the items ship, though).

Honestly I don't notice it much anymore because we are used to it, but my dad notices it when he comes over. Most shows I think still aren't made for 4k...I think.

I didn't need it and I didn't pass it up. hahaha I'll give the Fire Stick to dh for Christmas for the TV down in our basement that only he watches. He never uses the one upstairs (where there is a Fire Stick so he doesn't know what he could be watching. lol. The Dot...who knows. I'll stash it away for the holidays.

Yeah! Thank you, just ordered with a smart plug! That's a great deal! I checked the AU site and they have all the other Echo devices on sale, but this one is still full price.

I'll return the 4k I bought yesterday for $25 and put the dot either in our bedroom or yds' room.
