Prime Day - anything worth getting?

I never found it to be all that great, but I have some credit that will expire soon so figured I'd ask...

They implemented the search function this year, so it is much more useful than it has been. 

I picked up some odds and ends, sanding supplies, a borescope, underwear, some batteries, a 3D printer filament I haven't heard of, some other small things.  Strange how quickly $10 turns into $100

A boroscope and underwear in the same purchase. You must be having some wild parties

It's a little early,  but if the price is right....

I can tell you, winter tire prices are not benefiting from Prime Day prices. 

The Prius wheel bearing I priced yesterday is no cheaper today.

Winter tires is one thing I was looking for.

I did get a few .99 a month TV channels that look interesting though. Motor trend is one that's available

The Kindle Paperwhite is a good ebook reader and on sale, so that's my recommendation. Especially since most libraries allow for ebook borrowing.

I bought some headlight bulbs, double sided automotive trim tape, a fuse block, soldering iron tips, and a few other odds and ends this morning...but that was just stuff I had in my cart and wanted by the weekend. Didn't even realize it was Prime Day until after I checked out. 

I'll probably pick up an Echo Show (2nd Gen). Since we are going to start working on getting home automation/security going in our house, basically all the hubs and devices work with Alexa.

But it looks like the particular deal I'm looking at is only available for existing Prime members.

We bought a kindle paper white 

$89 or something like that 

I'm looking at WiFi extenders or a mesh network.

Woot is having a Woot-off, if you watch you might find something useful.  They are part of Amazon, so you can use your Amazon account with it.

So far mostly Amazon devices. They are running some steep discounts on certain items if you order using Alexa. I snagged another 3rd Gen Dot for $20, a smart plug for $5, and a kids tablet for $80. The 4K Fire TV stick for $30 is tempting to use with the rec room projector.

Oddly we are probably going to snag several rugs for the house, as they are on a decent sale right now.

If my NetGear router wasn't such a champ I'd pick up the new Eero mesh network, but I'll wait.

If I had some credit to burn up, I'd buy some synthetic oil.

These a decent deal?  So hard to tell when Amazon is playing with their prices

Wife has one. Just bought one for myself. Amazing little device. 

Menards is having Prime-r Days if you have a Menards near you....

Most of the stuff I looked at was only a few dollars off. If I was already planning to buy something it might have made me pull the trigger, but not enough to push me into buying something I wasn't already going to. 

Show some respect, people.

I'm tempted by a Kindle Oasis. My older Paperwhite - which is a great ebook reader - is getting a bit long in tooth, plus the fact that the Oasis is waterproof is a big bonus.

I went NUTS.  I bought new poly casters for my desk chair so it didn't hurt my new hardwood.  So far on Prime Day I have saved $5

It reminds me of when me, the (now ex) wife, and her parents went black friday shopping.  my MIL would show us all the things she bought for cheap, and my FIL would say, "yes, we'll need to buy a trailer to haul home all the money we saved."

So far I have spent a net of $2. We had an expiring credit for $10, so used that on some tweezers and a hamburger flipper.

I might be convinced to get a phone today.  My current google pixel is going on 3 years now, but the carrier went to new bands that aren't supported by the phone.

5G is on the horizon so I don't see any reason to get a 4G phone.  Amazon doesn't have the Pixel 4a5G yet.

Frustrating.

I was sent a $10 coupon because I supported a small business, so I used that to buy a USB extension cable that was marked down to $8. I also bought a $40 gift card for myself and got a $10 credit. So that's 20% off something in the future. 

I don't think this is how it's supposed to work :)
