elegantlion Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 I bought these Skechers last night. They were listed at $24 with 30% off, so they were $18 with tax. Now they're $31 and 30%. Glad I ordered last night. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeaganS Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 (edited) 2 Kindle fires 2 echo dots (we already have 1 and plan to use them largely as an intercom) A sous vide that dh has been eying for years A digital piano And a roomba for me! Oh, and wool socks. Except the dots, these were all purchases I was going to make in the next few months anyways, so I'm feeling pretty good. Also I'm halfway done with Christmas now!

cjzimmer1 Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 Does anyone have the 8 qt Instant Pot? I've been wanting an Instant Pot, but I'm not sure if I should go with the larger one to start out with. I do but I don't have the 6 quart to compare it to. I'm very happy I got the bigger size, most of the time I've filled it lose to capacity. My personally preference would have been a 10 o 12 qt though but instant pot didn't make them that big. But I have a big family and we like leftovers. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DawnM Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 3 pack of Kindle Fires. I'm tired of them fighting over my iPad. I got the micro SDs for more storage because they always fill up my iPad. A kiddie case for dd who scratched up my Otterbox screen. Can you do the same stuff? I thought there weren't as many apps available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MeaganS Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 If you have the Amazon credit card, thousands of items will give you 20% back rather than the normal 5. That's the reason I picked up a digital piano today. It wasn't on sale but it did qualify for the cash back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wheres Toto Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 Can you do the same stuff? I thought there weren't as many apps available. I don't know about iOS apps, but you can set up a Kindle Fire to have Google Play store, which gets you a lot more apps than just the Kindle store. I had to do it for both my kids Kindles. I did it using this site because we originally did it to get Pokemon Go. These directions get you the Play store. - http://pokemongokindlefire.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happypamama Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 I was hoping to get a second 6qt. IP but no luck. I don't really want to pay for the 8qt. I have a big family, but my oldest doesn't eat meat, and my little guys don't eat much, so the 6qt. is sufficient for now. I wanted a second one so I could have multiple things going. I did notice that several Oneida flatware sets are on sale. My set is nineteen years old and still looks fantastic (and we are very not gentle on things -- we need Tonka tough!), and I still adore it, but too many forks and spoons have disappeared over the years. At $13 for four forks, it's cheaper to buy five-piece service for eight ($60 right now, plus a couple of serving pieces), even though I'm not really in need of more knives and tablespoons. Just thought I'd pass that along. Don't know if it's just today or not. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unsinkable Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 (edited) I'm seeing 2 prices for the Fire HD...one with "special offers" that is cheaper than the without special offers price. Then it says (on a link) that to turn off special offers, you are charged a fee. I am guessing the fee is at least as much as the price difference? edit: I looked around a little more and it looks like the fee is the price difference. Some people say the special offers are NBD and to them are worth the savings. Edited July 11, 2017 by unsinkable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unsinkable Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 If the special offers are what I'm thinking, my grandmothers original Kindle has a screen saver when charging that shows book advertisements. It looks like Reflex Math might not work on it, nbd because they are pretty much done with it anyway. c Yes, it looks like it is advertisements. It's $15 cheaper with the special offers.

luuknam Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 It was actually a short-lived glitch rather than a deal. ... Amazon was offering 20% off a bunch of stuff, but for whatever reason, their system was taking the discount off multiple times. Amazon caught on quickly, pulled entire inventories on certain products (including the whole of Toys and Games), then put products back online about an hour later with no active discount codes. :-( Now we wait to see whether they honor these unintended "deals" or cancel orders. They say they've shipped my free watercolor crayons (free, no tax, no shipping), so it looks like they're honoring at least some of the glitches. I'm much more excited about the free crayons than I should be. :lol: 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hypatia. Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 Oh, I wish my Instant Pot was the 8 qt model! I bought some small LED lanterns for when we go camping next month and an additional water bottle, so just things we already needed. Letting each kid carry around their own lantern saves so many squabbles. I did take advantage of the bonus $10 for reloading my Amazon gift card for the first time. DD1 has asked for a camera for her birthday next week, so I was happy to see that little deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's awesome. IIRC, I saved just over $4 on those crayons (after taking the lightning deal and the Prime 20% discount ONCE into account - list price right now is $14.99, which I most certainly would not have spent on crayons of any kind, what with my youngest being 6.5), so the crayons weren't a big deal, but your daughter will be so happy!

caedmyn Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 No idea! I hope I don't regret it. They mostly use it for getting to websites like Reflex Math, taking pictures, watching tv, streaming music etc. My middle was using the iPad as a timer for reading lol. With the amount of audiobooks I have accumulated on Audible lately, I thought it would be nice for each of them to have access to it. You'll have to set them up with parental controls rather than using the Freetime app...it won't allow Audible access, which is just stupid. The Freetime app is really pretty useless. And many apps (at least the ones I've been interested in) have to be sideloaded because they're not available on Amazon's app store. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want something small for travel and to get coffees that are not in the V line. So far I have 2 travel coffee mugs, a light for my 8 year old to sleep with and not disturb his brother who sleeps in the same room, a helmet, a Kodak portable photo printer (want to use this to make lifebooks when we start fostering), 2 FM bluetooth adapters for the cars (2000 and 2007 respectively).

Catwoman Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 I bought the Calico Criters triple bunk beds for $8. Toysrus.com is having its own sale online only. They're offering 20% off. I saw the price was $7.99 at tru, so I just kept it in my amazon cart, thinking I was going to get 20% off by using our prime card to pay. So along with that I bought some blu ray boxed sets and a Yamaha keyboard that was already in my cart from two weeks ago (for my youngest to start piano lessons in the fall). When I went to check out, no 20% deduction was taken. Dh said to pay anyway, maybe it'll come off after or come in the form of rewards. Has anyone paid with their Amazon prime credit card? The discount should have appeared at checkout, so you should definitely contact customer service today and make sure they apply it for you.

Lady Florida. Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 I thought the Instant Pot was a fad and ignored it last year on Prime Day. Then I kept hearing about how great it is. I ended up getting mine around Black Friday weekend when it went on sale again. I haven't been sorry. I just bought an Echo Dot for ds. We have the Echo in the family room and a Dot in our bedroom. Ds didn't really want one until recently when he realized it can do more than add things to your calendar and shopping list. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monstermama Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 We need a house too. My older girls always wanted to buy Calico Critters, but we could never afford them. Instead we invested in loving family by fisher price. Now DD6 is interested in Calico Critters, and we can actually afford a set here and there, I'm excited to shop for her birthday. All she has is the tuxedo family and triplets. The townhouse may be the house we decide on. There was another at toysrus that she liked better, but I haven't seen it on Amazon. That fan looks like a good deal. (We buy lots of fans for our business.) The Lakeside Lodge is $24.83 today. It doesn't come with any furniture, but that's a great price for it!

heartlikealion Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 With the 20% off at Toys R Us, they undercut a few of the Amazon prices. Maybe not on major products, but on the toys I got. I signed up for ebates which currently offers a $10 WM gift card or Paypal credit right now for new members once you make a qualifying purchase (I think it's $25 you have to spend). Well, TRU says you can get $5 back when you do store pick up of qualifying purchase ($29 or up). So I ordered some items there, chose store pick up, and now my Walmart $10 GC is pending. My total was slightly under $29 at first so I just added some sale Crayola items. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
