Pen Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 The deal on the 6 quart IP is wonderful. I have and use that one more than any other cooking device other than stovetop now. But I really want an 8 quart one to be able to fit larger items for make and freeze cooking. Sigh 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dirty ethel rackham Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 Ds, who is leaving for grad school in a couple weeks, is ordering an Instant Pot. He loves gadgets and tech, so this may be incentive for him to cook stuff. There are some things ds loves that dh used to make in the crock pot and has adjusted them for the instant pot. I am working on making him a recipe book of family favorites. I bought the Fire TV to help us cut the cable cord (except for internet.) And we have been getting some tech accessories for dd for school. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pen Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 An advantage of insomnia is Amazon seems like be quiet and working now. I went ahead and got the IP 6 even though I thought I wanted an 8quart. If some day the 8qt is on a super special and it seems like I could still use more space for batch cooking Maybe I’ll get it then I f any one has been thinking of a robot vacuum, I have the Eufy they have on special and have been pleased with it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hjffkj Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 Aside from the Fitbit my mom bought me, I ended up buying 2 Christmas gifts either for my kids or nieces and nephews. I'm quite disappointed in their toy selection this year. Usually I can get all my Christmas shopping for nieces and nephews done on prime day, this year it doesn't look good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noreen Claire Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 I used my $10 Whole Foods credit and the $5 book coupon to pick up the illustrated Sorcerer's Stone as a Christmas gift.

Angie in VA Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 We've bought one Christmas gift so far. We got a few things we have been eyeing because they were good deals. I wish I could get that IP for my dd but as of now she doesn't see a need for it. We have one and enjoy it. Still hoping to get that Paperwhite before the day ends!

Lady Florida. Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 Did anyone else end up with nothing? I didn't buy anything. There really wasn't anything we couldn't live without and I don't have the patience to be at my computer at a specific time hoping to get a good price on something I wasn't going to buy anyway. I love, love, love Amazon and am a frequent shopper there but have never really found great deals on Prime Day. That first year everyone was going crazy for the Instant Pot on Prime Day I wasn't going to buy an appliance I didn't know anything about.

Sorry, Amazon, but if your everyday price is $17.99 and the big super-duper Prime Day price is $16.99, I’m not going to get all excited and rush to buy it. I guess the deals are ok if you need an Amazon device or a few of the other things that always go on sale like the Instant Pot and the Brother Serger, but other than that, I’m unimpressed.

elegantlion Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 I ended up using the book code, I bought one history book and a book of sheet music (it counted as a book), things I already had in my cart. I also ordered some shower rings, but they had gone up about 1.50 since I put them into my cart and also were now an add-on item. I was kind of miffed, but I really wanted that specific style and color, so I threw them on the order too. I might order a daybed and that price didn't change at all. I'm kind of glad, I'd rather have it shipped after all the busyness of Prime Day is over. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy to help! ? I just realized I did buy one other thing on Prime Day. I ordered one of those 4K Fire TV things because it was on sale for half price. I already have Roku, but I have heard that both Roku and Amazon have apps/channels that the other one doesn’t have, so I figure I’ll use both. The Fire thing was on backorder by the time I decided to buy it, so it won’t get here until mid-August. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
