I grabbed some monitors for a triple screen setup, at what would have been a standard price 2 years ago.

I scored some ok sale prices on computer stuff a couple years ago. I looked through it all last night and the same stuff was going for about the same price as I could get it for at Best Buy any day of the week.

I got a few things I needed anyway - at 40-50% off. Seemed decent.

Credit to Amazon - they show list price, normal Amazon price, and prime day price.

Everything I bought was that much of a discount off the normal Amazon price.

The only really good deals on these Prime days are the discounts on Amazon's own products like the kindle and fire tablets, blink security cameras, etc.

Security camera and streamlight for me

I needed a branch lopper ... found what I wanted on Amazon, and was surprised that it was 20% off as a Prime Day offer - Fiskars, not Chinese crap.
I wasn't expecting that.

You think it’s Fiskars…

Few years ago I got a Dremel 4300 kit (tool, box, fence, 90deg, flex shaft, etc) for $90. That was like 4yr ago. I looked at the 2019 prime day and decided it wasn’t even worth looking at anymore.

There was a thread about budget flashlights. I posted a link to a plain streamlight on amazon, then saw that it was ~$5 less than the last one I bought. So I bought another one. That's my only Prime deal this year.

The only benefit to Prime Day is that if you have an Amazon card, you get more cash back for the purchase. I got 15% back on a pair of Grado headphones (made in USA)

Yeah I got the Kamado Joe clsssic II and an extra 6% back on the card.

Make a wish list of stuff you want but don’t really need then check it on prime day it will tell you what the price was when you added it to the list.

They had some deals to add streaming channels to Prime Video for $0.99/mo for 2 months. I added AMC+ to watch final season of Better Call Saul.

Nope. BCS not available...you have to buy each episode individually or pay for a whole season. What the hell is this shit?

They advertise AMC+ all over the place as a means to watch their shows especially BCS in all the graphics for ads then they pull this shit?

It’s been shit for years.

And listen, it’s Amazon. They hate you and they hate this country. You should consider buying elsewhere anyway, to save America!

I haven't been a prime member in several years. Some like the ebooks and video but I found better prices on fleabay, with no added fees and free shipping.

I got a 3D printer for like 35% off or something like that

I was going to pick up some grumpy old fucks who bitch about anything but seems like they were fresh out. Thankfully GD had plenty in stock.

The real deals are in the random warehouse items that get an additional 25% off.

Today I got a Bushnell AR Optics 1-8x from the warehouse for $225 ($300 - 25%) supposedly just with damaged packaging, obviously I will look it over real good when I get it to make sure that it is intact/real, but it's a solid deal. It's random though, you just have to search around and wee what interesting things the warehouse has that are eligible (most scopes don't seem to be).

I also got an MTM 5 mini can ammo crate for $10.65.

Well, I got a new vacuum sealer at a decent (not great) price. Since my old one shit the bed it was just good timing on something I needed anyway.

Posted: 7/13/2022 11:53:50 PM EDT

I picked up a Citizens Eco divers watch at a decent discount.

There were some bargains, if one looked.

Posted: 7/14/2022 12:11:26 AM EDT

[#40]

Only deals were a bunch of useless junk stuff I don’t need. So so stuff was like 15% off. Oh boy I get to save $12 on something I kinda sorta maybe want. The good stuff that I want never go on sale. I ended up buying the stuff I wanted that was not on sale.

Posted: 7/14/2022 12:25:20 AM EDT

[#41]

If anyone wants to roll the dice. There is a single, as of this post, Streamlight TLR-8 red laser variant in the warehouse listed as like new in original packaging that is eligible for the 25% off, so it works out to $133.11 before tax.

50/50 it is a fake but if it isn't that is pretty good - just make sure to look whatever you get over and return it if necessary (must be prime member to have, discount should be visible on final payment screen before finalizing payment).
