So, what all has everyone picked up from this year's Prime Day? Most interesting so far for me has been picking up an Arduino starter kit & a large kit of sensors. Also decided to give their 4-months of Unlimited Prime Music a try as well, though honestly SWMBO will likely be using that a whole lot more than me (and maybe save us some money on iTunes gift cards...). They had some interesting tool deals, but nothing that I couldn't do without.
Dash cam, grill thermometer, sprinkler, bluetooth adapter, hard drive, protein powder.
I take back everything bad I've ever said about prime day.

Electric lawnmower.
They didn't have the Roomba I want on sale however.
I was hoping the RAM X-grip phone mount I need for the boat was going on sale, but no such luck. I haven't jumped on anything yet.
I bought a $25 gift card for $20
Roomba + Bluetooth speaker. DJ Roomba!

Nothing.
A few years ago they had $1000 off a 55 gallon drum of lube. That was fun.

PS3/4 Racing wheel... is this a good one?
$0 spent this year. I somehow dropped $400 last year.

The party comes to you!
Then goes away for a bit. Then spins around in a circle. Then comes back, but does a left turn before it gets to you. I have spent waay too long watching our Roomba and trying to figure out the navigation logic. My wife doesn't understand.

Ordered a bed frame for the guest room. Guess I have 2 days to finish the renovations in that room.

If by better than a controller.
Yes.
You'd need to slightly more than triple that to get a Logitech......and that's really entry level for anybody that does it a lot or iRacing or similar.
I'm not seeing a whole lot of things I'm interested in. I was hoping they had a decent DSLR/Laptop backpack on sale, but they only have their DSLR backpack on sale. I think I'll pass this time around.
Roomba, dog food, kitty litter.
Legos were on crazy sale last night. Like 50% off of the discounted price. We got a few things for the kids but after our orders went in, prices went back up.

Probably a good thing I didn't see that! I'm still waiting for the Saturn V kit to get back into stock at normal prices...

I was in Minneapolis a few weeks ago for work and we had some time to kill before our flight back, so wandered over to Mall of America. The Lego Store was the only one we actually walked into and it took every ounce of will power I had not to walk out significantly poorer.

How cheap was the Roomba? I stayed away. But I really want one as a garage attic anti-spider measure...
