Prime Day - anything worth getting?

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.

Until it's widely available would be one. And that will be years away. 

I bought one of the first 4G phones available a decade ago. Sprint never implemented 4G in the Tulsa metro area for the entire two years I was under contract with them. All while charging me extra for a 4G phone that gave me no benefit.

I looked at Prime deals, considered some SATA tools, even put their ratchet wrench set in my shopping cart, but having never heard of SATA and the less than stellar reviews I aborted.  SWMBO said she bought a bunch of sundries, make up and whatnot.

I instead spent a bunch of money at Midway USA, Joe Bob Outfitters, and Optics Planet.  Wish Amazon would get over themselves, so I could get my cheap Chinesium AR parts with Prime shipping.

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."

hahaha

I ordered a stanley camping french press..

and a pillow.. which was $25 off.. but silly expensive. Wife has one and loves it..

The Mrs. bought me some Sketchers.  Apparently, she's tired of my current "hobo-lookin' " casual footwear. 

I got a Dot/Ring doorbell camera combo for $70.

Just grabbed that dry bag!

I've been planning to get on tablet to watch my autocross videos between runs, and eventually run Solostorm.

Bought a Fire HD 10 for $80. I already have a Garmin virb ultra 30 to record the video.

The 10" tablet is a steal for $80. Wife and I both have them. I sideloaded the Google Play store on mine for extra apps.
