Prime Day Deals

[onthemove]

Target is having deals too, anyone getting anything good, holiday presents?

[hermione]

The Laura Geller foundation powder I like was a good price on Amazon.

[followyourarrow]

I got dishwasher pods, protein shakes, and liquid iv. Nothing super exciting, just saved a few dollars on things we already use.

[glitzy07]

Target has BOGO 50% Off for Halloween costumes and candy, so I ordered my youngest son's costume and the largest bag of candy I could find.

[lavenderblue]

So far I got a Lego Minecraft set for my nephew and some Premier Protein Shakes and a pair of Democracy jeans in the next size down for myself.

[midwestmama]

I got a box of 12 bags of the Enjoy Life mini chocolate chips (came to about $4.40/bag, and usually they are $5.99/bag at my local Meijer). I also got a box of Arm & Hammer laundry detergent sheets (so great for travel!). Not super exciting so far.

I have my eye on a Little Green Clean Machine and a Tineco vacuum/mop. Still deciding on one or both. But I also might want a Roomba...

[mcsangel2]

Annoyed that the kindle discount is so small. I've been waiting for months for a decent sale or for them to release a new version.

[gretchenindisguise]

L needed new sheets, so I got 2 sets 30% off at target.

[mommyatty]

I got a Kindle Scribe for myself because I hate carrying multiple notebooks to out of town meetings and suck at writing on my iPad because my hand drags on the screen. Also Advent calendars for our kids (rubber ducks for my 10 year old and spa stuff for my 12 year old who would live in Bath and Body Works if she could. Also for said 12 year old a bunch of D&D dice because she wants to be a “dice goblin”, whatever that is. Lol. And some small things like Mad Libs and these Gravity Falls books both my kids have been lusting after, lol.

Funny aside: I typed “rubber dicks” at first and LOL because my 10 year old would have thought that was the #1 best thing ever in his life. Because 10 year old boy. Nothing better than dick and fart jokes right now.

A few things kid had saved in the cart were on deal - mainly stocking stuffer things like Apple Watch band and protective cover, some earrings and a book. Not huge discounts but enough that it made sense to grab them today. H also needs some short socks and those were pretty well discounted so I grabbed some of those.

Kind of underwhelming in my opinion.

[deadwing]

I'm surprised Zesty Paws supplements aren't on sale - they usually are. I got some other dog stuff on sale, plus a new pillow and a couple of jigsaw puzzles. I'm debating ordering new interior door knobs and hinges... I'd like to replace mine but I certainly don't *need* to.

[ssmjlm]

My mom got my kid's christmas gift, which is an ipad since it's on sale. My mom said she grabbed a stylus and screen protectors, but need to ask E about a case. She is particular.

I haven't bought anything yet. I have a makeup mirror and bluetooth speaker for christmas in my cart, but I'm not wowed by much this round.

[lucybrown]

I'm planning to buy another Eufy robot vacuum so that we have one on each floor. I have the 11S slim and really like it, but need something more powerful now that we have two cats.

I'm still shopping. Definitely added the Enjoy Life chips to my cart. Thanks for the heads up midwestmama!

[noodleoo]

I'm trying to avoid shopping. I feel like the same deals will be back or better for Black Friday and I'm kind of over "Prime Day" every 3 months.

[Bad Dingo]

If anyone sees something they think would be good for a college dorm, let me know!

[eb777888]

Thank you for this! I just saw they have air pods cheaper than Costco, where I was going to go tomorrow and buy some for David. Saved me $30 and a Costco trip!

[ellipses84]

I’m debating buying a combo garbage / recycling for the kitchen. Can’t decide between the foot pedal and the sensor. Ideally I’d like both with the pedal as a backup but IDK if they even make that. Real exciting 😂 I don’t see any great deals though and it hurts to spend that much on trash!

[twinmomma]

Squishmallows are on sale, so I grabbed some of those to tuck away for Christmas for the kids. They're an easy win. I always get a new board game or two for a family Christmas gift, so I got Azul since it was on sale and looks different.

I also picked up some new bras for myself. I desperately need new ones and a bunch of different brands were on sale so I'm going to give them a try and hopefully find something that fits and I can order more of.

That's about it so far. We need a new printer/scanner for the home office but I haven't seen any crazy deals on one yet so we'll do some more research before buying one.

Got the toddler’s big Christmas present- a Toniebox with a couple Spider-Man figures to go with. And I’m switching the house over to Alexa from Google bc, much like my children,Google never listens to me.

My nieces love their Tonieboxes.  That reminds me that I should look for new characters for them for Christmas gifts.

ProfessorArtNerd, expectantsteelerfan, what would be your age recommendation on Tonieboxes? My 8 year old is a reluctant reader and I thought this might help, but I'm worried she's too old

My nieces are both 3, and my own kids are old enough to be 'watching' them and not playing themselves (13 and 15), so I have no experience if an older kid would like them.  But I *think* it only works with the characters, so I'd say if there are any characters they like that have stories, they might like it, but if they think the characters are childish, they'd think the whole thing is childish.  Also, when I've seen my nieces play with it, it's not like they have actual books that they are reading along with or anything.  Have you tried regular audiobooks with your kid?

Thank you! That's what I was thinking too, and I don't want to waste money on it. I have tried regular audiobooks through the library, but maybe I'll look into it some more.

For a stocking stuffer, I've been loving these steam eye masks ... if you have trouble sleeping, these really help me!
amzn.to/4gU959l 

My fave dry shampoo ...normally it's $24, and I get it through Subscribe & Save for $23. So $19 is a good price.

I got these pillows for my shams last Prime Day and they've held up really well and not gone flat. Looks like they're on lightening deal for $47 right now -- which is the same as what I paid last Prime Day (also a lightening deal):
amzn.to/3NiU7Mv

I'm considering a walking pad for under my standing desk ... for $119 I might do it. I'm just hemming and hawing about whether I'll actually use it. I don't stand as much as I used to.

Joey is three, and I was looking at the tonies online by age. Seems like they go up to around age 8.

[onomatopoeia]

I got some CG foundation and mascara that I use all the time, and a new band for my watch.

I also got this bra, which I have already and love (I'm mall chested, FWIW). No underwire, gives a nice lift, and very comfortable: www.amazon.com/dp/B0CZ3QLH7Q?psc=1&smid=A3N70WSJIHSD19&ref_=chk_typ_imgToDp

I try to stick to things that I know are good deals based on what I've paid/seen before, not just what Amazon tells me are good deals. The last prime day I had a few things left in my cart when it ended, and lo and behold they were cheaper after prime day than they were during prime day.

[simpsongal]

Nothing exciting -underwhelming. DH ordered razor blades and they're not even on sale.

Scotch tape: www.amazon.com/dp/B0000DH8HQ?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title
Some pink furry boots for DD8 www.amazon.com/dp/B0C6FM5SPG?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title
Woodland PJs for my nephew: www.amazon.com/dp/B09XFKYWRS?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title

I got DS10 a couple tops but they're not even great deals worth linking...

[midwestmama]

lucybrown, I would be interested to know which robot vacuum you get if you end up buying another robot vacuum. We have one dog (German Shepherd) who is a super-shedder, and I need a robot vacuum to help the dog hair situation.

I looked for my Nars foundation since you mentioned it and it was on sale. Score!

I really like our current Eufy 11S slim. It was adequate with our shepherd/pit/boxer mix. I’m looking at a few models with more suction. Debating between the 50L, 60L, and X8 pro. I don’t need a mop or self-emptying station. Just a solid robot vacuum to reduce the number of times I get the Dyson out.
