elegantlion Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 I have some things in my cart, waiting to see if they go on sale. Otherwise, I'll wait to see if there is a book special. I'm getting an apartment for grad school, so most of my things are apartment related, shower rings, first aid kit, coffee grinder, and a Turkish towel. I'm also trying to decide on my bed/sofa for the apartment and have a daybed on my wish list. Still not sure what I'm going to order though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hjffkj Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 I'm hoping that a fitbit charge 2 goes on sale. That is what my mom is getting me for my bday and for her sake I hope prices drop today 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lmrich Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 I have some board games in my cart, shoes for my dd, some books... nothing that I think will go on sale. I would like to get a fit bit with a heart monitor and give my other to my dd. I would love to find some sunglasses seeing how I broke two pairs over the weekend!

alisoncooks Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 My cart had several items, though only 1-2 might get marked down. I'm hoping for discounts on Lego and Prismacolor. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the price goes down, you can reload your cart and on top of the page, there will be a little notification that says something like, “5 items in your cart have changed price,” and you can see which prices changed and by how much, but if it’s a Lightning Deal and not just a normal lowered price, you won’t see it — you have to add Lightning Deals to your cart directly from the item page or the Lightning Deal page while the deal is running.

Catwoman Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 I thought Prime Day used to be better when the deals were all from Amazon and not overloaded with thousands of items from third party sellers. I shop for a lot of art supplies, and it’s a real nuisance to have to skim past all of the Chinese knockoff products when I want the name brands. I don’t begrudge the third party sellers from putting their items on sale, but I wish there was a way to sort the Lightning Deals and Daily Deals to choose whether or not I want to see them by having the option to pick “sold by Amazon.” 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Katy Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 I'm hoping for several things, but so far the preview stuff has all been amazon products. We don't need new kindles, and even if we did, there are much better deals at 8pm on black friday, when best buy is empty. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm looking through a whole bunch of preview items that aren't Amazon devices. On the homepage I got a banner advertising Prime Day with a link to shop early access deals. The first deals that come up are Amazon devices but just under that are all deals. I don't know if this link will work but here's the page to all deal previews. https://smile.amazon.com/b?node=13887280011&ref=PD18_LU_GW_Hero_DT&pf_rd_p=9dd8508b-8b06-436b-a387-ad87ca9808ac&pf_rd_r=Z7P3Z0R5F5DVS4NA48ZM ETA: You can even sort by category so you can weed out the things you aren't interested in.

Today the new ones are $79.99 but all of our Kindles are refurbished and are perfect. I considered getting one of the refurbished ones to keep on hand for a gift. Also, refurbished doesn't mean something was wrong with them. Sometimes people return a Kindle because they decide they don't want it, and Amazon can't sell it as new. Refurbished Amazon devices come with the same warranty as new ones. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GailV Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 I just managed to click on and have the site actually work, randomly on outdoor items, and the Lifestraw for $9.99 was one of the top things on the page. Lifestraw is the one and only thing dd actually wants from Amazon. Used the $10 credit from shopping at Whole Foods over the weekend. This concludes my adventure in Prime Day shopping. Well, except I might need to order $20 worth of books, of course, but somehow that's different. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crimson Wife Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 I tried to get the 6 Qt Instant Pot for $58.99 but couldn't figure out how to actually put it in my cart. Tried multiple devices and finally gave up. I did get a Graco jogging stroller travel system with an infant car seat for $102 after my $10 Whole Foods discount. The car seat alone sells for around $80 so I figure even if the stroller is only so-so, it's probably worth the $22. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amazon’s site is very messed up right now, but since the Instant Pot isn’t a Lightning Deal, it might be worth trying off and on to see if they get the problems fixed. That’s a great deal for the Instant Pot, and although I was skeptical of it when I first ordered that exact same one, I now use it all the time. It’s very different from a crock pot and a steamer.
