A new office chair that hopefully will not hurt my back. A small bifold wallet on a keychain. And after I read this, Tonnino tuna!

Prime Day used to be a lot better, or maybe it's just that I have almost all the new toys 😁

I have a small addiction to these flavored cashews (eG-friendly Amazon.com link) and they did offer a PD special on them.  It's been a while since I allowed myself to buy them.

 

I have shopping lists/save for later items that I monitor how the price changes.   Only a couple food items so far (tuna, cashews) and a tire plug kit.   I've been tempted by the Apple watch specials, but I'm holding off so far.

Tonnino jarred tuna is a Prime Day special again.  6 x 6.7oz jars is what I picked up.  

Spring Water (eG-friendly Amazon.com link)

Olive Oil (eG-friendly Amazon.com link)

 

There are various flavors available and sizes and quantities to choose from.

I have a jar of the ventresca sitting on a shelf a few feet away. I sometimes find it on clearance at Superstore (one of the two dominant chains up here) for half price, presumably as the expiration date approaches, and always buy a few when I see it.

Wrong thinking.

 

1 )    pull the trigger now. as its a very good deal , will not be repeated any time soon

 

2)   Let The Box , as it did to me , Speak To You ,  later.  

 

3)   done.

 

No Jibber-Jabber . Fiddle-Faddle ,  just Done.

I saw this today, and it occurred to me that I hadn't seen this thread updated in a while. Didn't realize it had been two years... has it been y'all powering Amazon's stock price this whole time? (...bunch of enablers...) :P

I haven't found anything cooking-wise that I had to have or that I thought was a fantastic deal.  Ive spent a chunk of change but that was on "the usual" type stuff-glasses cleaner, collagen, rice, etc. Nothing exciting by any stretch.

Prime Day is not what it used to be.

 

Back then the discounts were good ones , designed to  boost traffic at the site

 

thus seriously boosting AMZN's stock price.

 

and then the Swells cashed in their Options.

 

These days , mostly to clear away junk.

 

think back to the deals on hot items , like the iPots.

 

year in and year out for a few years.

Im with Rotus.   Prime day used to be a big deal, particularly just before Christmas.   Now it’s the same stuff over and over, mostly junk
