Prime Days

Are you shopping or not?  Looking for anything specific?

[k3am]

I'm probably not. I did score a few items when DS was first born and I was up all night and able to track sales..

Right now, after being stuck home for so long, if there's something I need.. I've already bought it.

I should start thinking about Christmas presents. Or at least items to donate to the school bazaar. I will look at electronics and see if there’s anything that jumps out.

I also want a few specific fitness equipment items that never seem to come up on Facebook marketplace. Since my Christmas present fitness equipment never showed up, I might look for something else.

I'm hoping normal, boring Kindles drop in price. I want to grab some for the girls since they devour library books so quickly. It would make life so much easier to just get them ebooks.

Not waiting for Prime Days, but I bought one of these dresses and loved it so much I bought 2 more. Amazon Essentials Women's Tank Swing Dress www.amazon.com/dp/B07YGMK2CD/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_AMA2DG89G7A0SCSGQRPQ?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

The first one was the dark pink one. Then I ordered navy, which got here yesterday, and yellow, which will get here Friday. So comfortable for wfh and I could put a cardigan over it for the office if I needed to.

Grabbed two kindle ereaders for $54 each. Not bad, and they'll last forever. I've had mine for years.

Also found some bathing suits for $11. We go through bathing suits like water with summer camp, so I always try to stock up when I see them for a good deal.

Target is doing sales too and I just got a $100 Chipotle gift card for $74 ($80 + 5% off with a Target card). It's only available for another hour, 1PM EST.

Despite saying I'd buy nothing.. as we left to drive to the inlaws yesterday, we remembered that DS's kindle hasn't been working right for months. So, we ordered a new one during the ride in their pre-prime day sale, and the price is the same today. It shows up today. I told DD hers needs to hold out until next summer, since the 1 year subscription will be over by then, and we'll get her a new one on prime day to get the new subscription. I think it's $6.99/month or $83.44/year, and the new kindle was $70+ tax, less $10 trade in, which essentially breaks even.

Prime Day PSA: If you're buying a new kindle, chargers have been updated to a USB-C, so the 87 chargers you probably have hanging around won't work.

Yes! I hate that my Kindle and DS's Kindle have different chargers. And then everything else we charge, like my iPhone, Bluetooth speaker, etc, with all different chargers.

Re: Kindles for kids, how do books like Diary of a Wimpy Kid appear? DD likes the drawings and the script font, are those the same in the Kindle edition?
