mathnerd Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 For amazon prime members, there is a huge sale tomorrow including Kindles, toys etc. http://www.ocregister.com/articles/amazon-671634-deals-save.html 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lanny Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 Yes. I have 3 things in my Amazon "Wish" list. Fingers crossed that they will put the most expensive item on sale, on "Prime Day", with a big discount. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TranquilMind Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 Yep, cart loaded up already, waiting to see if anything is on sale that I want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SparklyUnicorn Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 I think I'll need to stay OFF the computer. Oh dear...oh dear... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peachskittles Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 I'm hoping there isn't anything I really want on sale, because then my sister will be getting my late birthday wish list. Why can't paydays be in the middle of the week? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnnE-girl Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 We get Amazon gift cards with our credit card rewards points. DH made sure to get them in time for the sale, not that I'm sure any of the things we actually want/need will be on sale, but it doesn't hurt to try.

marbel Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 I just earned enough points for a gift card, but it won't be here in time. (For some reason it's sent through the USPS!) Still, I'm hoping for a good deal on another kindle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G5052 Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 LOL -- meetings all day, and things I need to do in the evening. Probably best! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catwoman Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 I hope the sales are as good as Amazon is promising they will be, but not so incredible that I end up buying a lot of stuff I don't really need! :) Apparently, Walmart.com will be trying to compete with Amazon by offering huge sales of their own. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seasider Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 I wish I knew what was going to be on sale without having to check back several times an hour. There are only a few items on my wish list but I suppose I will pop in a couple of times a day to check on them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itsheresomewhere Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 They have a Facebook page for it. It is different from Amazon's page. Amazon is giving hints on it. I am looking forward to several hinted deals so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Catwoman Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 Well Prime Day didn't exactly start out with a bang. Thus far, I am completely underwhelmed. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tap Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 Well Prime Day didn't exactly start out with a bang. Thus far, I am completely underwhelmed. I was going to watch a movie and coincidentally logged on to Amazon at 12:02. Yep, I'm right there with you, underwhelmed describes it well. ETA: I went back and bought 3x$15 gift cards for Christmas stocking stuffers and got the $10 credit. The credit expires at the End of August, but I know I won't have a problem spending it before then anyways. I did got to Walmart .com and bought a laptop though LOL. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jelbe5 Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 $50 Kindle touch and $80 Kindle Fire on sale now for anyone who may be interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lailasmum Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 I'm underwhelmed by the sale too. In the UK the range of stuff on sale seems pretty small really. The only thing I have bought is a component for a computer I'm building from Amazon warehouse with the 15% off. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xixstar Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 I wanted books and seeing nothing if it is all just lightening day stuff and not sale codes on books. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnnE-girl Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 DH got up at 2:00 am our time to process the order we had in our cart in case it was part of the sale. The only thing that was reduced was a kindle fire we decided it was time to get for the kids. The rest was school stuff that I didn't really expect to be included, but it didn't hurt to try.

marbel Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 I got my kindle fire. Now the kids won't have to share one anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Butter Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 Because of the Prime sale I learned that there is a tablet version of Skylanders Trap Team. I decided my 7 year old doesn't need it since he can play Skylanders on the WiiU. My daughter wants a Fire Phone. They are $179 right now. I'm debating on whether they will go down any more over the course of the day (cheapest I've ever heard is $159; they were $199 yesterday; I paid $179 for mine last year).

Ewe Mama Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 Very underwhelmed by the whole sale. All the decent items I was sort of interested in were sold out by the time I was ready to buy. I have been disappointed repeatedly with Kindle products (they quit charging and freeze within a week of purchase) so will not be purchasing another. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kewb Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 Underwhelmed. Nothing I really need. I thought about getting kindles for the kiddos but they use their phones if they are not reading an actual book. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plansrme Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 I am sorely tempted by the Roomba for $250. But I really was hoping for books. Remember when Amazon sold books? [insert wistful sigh here.] 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrixieB Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 I wish they would give an extra discount on all the books that are stored in the "saved" section of my cart. That's my idea of what Prime Day should be. :) 20 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ereks mom Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 I bought a set of 4 2" view binders for $9.99, and I was waitlisted for an electric pencil sharpener and a stand for the iPad. Not much else on sale that interests me. <yawn> Yep, underwhelmed is the word. I think I'll go see what Walmart.com has instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's my idea of what Prime Day should be. :) That's what I was hoping for as well. I feel like it's the holiday push in July. I don't want to keep checking in to see if anything good pops up. Ds has a camera picked out, but it'd have to be a really good deal for him to buy right now anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DawnM Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 There is an article suggesting this is partly to steer us away from an upcoming competitor Jet.com Oh, what is Jet.com? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serenade Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 Not nearly as good as the real Black Friday deals. I always end up buying a lot of cheap movies, and I have not seen any really good deals in that regard. Nor any coming up. I keep thinking I'm not looking in the right place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DawnM Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 I did order the $45 worth of Amazon gift cards to get a $10 free Amazon gift card. I got a pair of Sketcher sandals I have wanted. And I got the Rubbermaid set as ours is falling apart. But those aren't big things and not worth sitting around waiting a long time for. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DawnM Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 Apparently they will offer many cheaper items than Amazon, but less selection. They will charge a $50 annual fee if I recall correctly. The thinking is that people will only belong to one site or the other, not both. Right now I don't see too much appeal to Jet because if I can't get as many things then what's the point? I'm thinking shipping speed is similar to Prime. They really should offer the first year free (or a few months) so that people can really get a feel for it first. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Florida. Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 I am sorely tempted by the Roomba for $250. i just bought a Neato last month and part of the reason was the cost. I'm happy with my Neato but if I had waited until today I might have been tempted to get the Roomba. Any Fire TV owners here? If we already have (and love) a Roku is there any benefit to getting the Fire TV Stick? I'm seriously considering Echo. We've been thinking about it for a while anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Butter Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 We have a Fire TV stick. There is no benefit over the Roku IMO. AFAIK it does not have all the channels that Roku has (like no youtube). We got the stick when it was $19 and have it on the boys' WiiU TV upstairs. I like that they can watch DigiMon and other annoying shows on Netflix up there rather than on the main TV in our living room (which has the Roku and AppleTV attached - we don't have cable). I never like the Black Friday deals at Amazon, so I guess I just wasn't expecting much. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Butter Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 Well that might be good for me. If ds gets the Fire Stick then no YouTube!! (sorry but I hate that channel) Yeah, I meant to say that was actually a plus for us since it's on the boys' TV and I don't like them watching youtube videos without one of the other people in the house there with them, but I got distracted and forgot to add it lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we already have (and love) a Roku is there any benefit to getting the Fire TV Stick? I'm seriously considering Echo. We've been thinking about it for a while anyway. We have a Fire TV Stick. We use it to switch back and forth with our apple TV, but that's not an issue for you. The big bonus for us was that we took it on vacation. It works in hotel rooms and it worked in the other places we stayed - any place that has wifi. DH occasionally takes it on business travel for the same purpose. We got it on sale for $20, right when they came out, and it's been worth the small cost. We also have an Echo. We are testing it out for DH's company, so we didn't buy it, and technically it's going to them eventually. It's useful for a few things, but I wouldn't buy one. We don't have much in the Amazon music library, and it doesn't sync with iTunes, so that's an issue for us, but maybe not for you. We primarily use it for setting timers, asking the weather, and it's replaced the ubiquitous, "Mom, how do you spell...?" (Although once DD(4) asked, "Alexa, how do you spell apple?" and Alex helpfully spelled out loud a**hole. AAACK! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Florida. Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 Well, I missed the Echo deal. So much for that idea. No tragedy, it's just something we've been thinking about and thought it would be fun to have. Thanks for the replies on the Fire Stick. We have 3 Rokus, and I guess if I get any streaming stick to take on vacation it should be the Roku stick. The price is on the Fire Stick is good though - $24. There's nothing else there calling to me. I'm out. :) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seasider Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 There are a few percentage price drops on my wish lists items, but not enough to convince me that it's even related to today's deals. Not enough to make me buy them today. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halcyon Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 oops i just posted another thread about this sale--didn't see it here. I did get younger a 50 dollar kindle and myself a new point and shoot for 60--the one i have had for 6 years is so heavy i hate carrying it around, and I don't like using my phone for photos. So i am happy. I think what amazon should do is surprise everyone with 50% off 3 items on their wish list or saved in their cart for later--we get to pick :) Now THAT woiuld be a sale!!! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halcyon Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 Little Humans is coming up for sale soon.

BrookValley. Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 With the exception of a few things, mostly electronics--like the kindles and stuff--it just looks like Amazon found a bunch of crap in their warehouses that wasn't selling and decided to throw it all on lightening deal.

Or maybe I'm a total party pooper. It's ok, y'all can tell me I'm just a party pooper. Lol If you're a party pooper, I am too. There's just nothing exciting there. Plus I'm not a lightning deal kind of shopper, especially when it comes to large purchases. I want to research it, read reviews. compare prices, then decide if I really need it (or even want it badly enough to spend the money). Dh is the same way. We do well when buying big things because neither of us buys impulsively. Maybe my shopping style is also why Black Friday doesn't excite me. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
