Amazon prime day

[nachellebeck]

I took Parentings advice & started a wishlist of things I want/need & will watch to see if any of the prices drop.

This is a good idea

Well I know what I'm doing this morning. 

[lioness13]

When is it? 7/15/15?

Here's a preview press release. phx.corporate-ir.net/phoenix.zhtml?c=176060&p=irol-newsArticle&ID=2067573

I'd really like a fit bit type device ...wonder if I can get lucky.

@theformerwren We have a roomba and I like it. It's not perfect and we still have/need a regular vacuum.

The cons: you need to clear the space for it to vacuum. It's a little slow. Despite those things I still feel like it helps me out and I can focus on something else.

ETA we got a good deal on it at target, if I had paid full price I might be singing a different tune. So I recommend it if you are able to get it on sale.

I feel meh about most of the deals so far. Most baby and kid ones are also going incredibly quickly at 4 a.m., so be ready.

[huckleberry08]

Also, at least on the phone app, the deal didn't show up if I checked my wishlist. I had to click the offer directly from the Prime store.

The only thing that i see that id get are lincoln logs for J.
They go on sale at 9. I added them to my cart but i guess i will see what happens at 9.
Theres nothing that i really need so far.

[vasc]

Walmart has rollbacks on some Paw Patrol toys and a wooden train table, as well as iPad mini!

[numbersgirl08]

There are some deals I want to try for at 9:00. Doing some early Christmas shopping for N. We'll see if I'm lucky enough! The kid stuff seems to be going the quickest by far.

[pkp2]

So how does the Prime sale work? You look up what you want and see if it's on sale? Or what's this about stuff being all claimed?

[pkp2]

How do you know what's out at 9:00? (Which is right now for me)

[numbersgirl08]

Well I had 4 items I wanted and I got one of them. I literally refreshed the items page and immediately added to cart (you have 15 min to then check out) the second it turned 9:00. I'd already tested it and you can't have it in your cart - it won't update to the deal price. Anyways, the only item I got was the first one I refreshed. The others were gone in seconds. So if you plan ahead and have the pages open for items you want you can probably get it, but expect to only be able to get one item at a time, and you have to refresh and add immediately.

And gone in under a minute. Amazingly lame. The deal was so so anyway.

The lincoln logs are gone too. I wasnt watching the clock so i was too late.

I feel the same way about the deals. The lincoln logs are originally $39 or something like that... On sale for $25 i think. If i really wanted them id just spend the $39.

On the Amazon webpage you can click to see the prime day deals. They have a section showing upcoming ones and available ones. Toys are selling out within seconds. And the sunblock I wanted sold out within seconds too!

Yeah, this is why I'm not too heartbroken over missing deals. It's nice to save money if you KNOW you want it, but for the lower value items, it's not that much money saved. Not worth stressing over.

When watching the news this morning, they said the best deals will be between 9 and 3 (central time). Not sure what that really means though.

Got the Kindle for my mom because she's been wanting a new one, but nothing else yet.

[sympkin]

It's all a bit underwhelming, I think the Canadian selection is even worse.

[majwv8]

woot, woot! I got a 3-hole punch!

[majwv8]

I feel like my biggest win today on Amazon is that they are refunding me for some Subscribe & Save items that I had cancelled and they still sent and charged me for a couple weeks ago.

[42butterflies]

The app is painfully slow on my iPad. Not sure if it's the app or our internet at work. Either way, I missed the very few things I wanted. Oh well.

[sauceboss]

I got 9 packs of wipes for free! Amazon elements wipes. Code ELEMENTS60 takes 60% off. Another 5% when you S&S. My total came to $5.95 and I had $6 leftover in amazon gift cards, so free for me.

Besides that I only got mascara so far. Code NEWBEAUTY gives you 35% off your first beauty item.

[huckleberry08]

42butterflies I can't even get the app to load right now.

[numbersgirl08]

I've gotten a few things so far. Got a Kindle Fire because I'd considered getting it awhile ago and just didn't pull the trigger, but it's hard to beat today's price. Also got a vacuum cleaner and an umbrella stroller.

A few other items I'm looking at coming up. There's a picnic table I'm considering and a block set.

[madlizmom]

I wanted the Corelle dinnerware set because I hate our dishes. But H won't let me buy it

Awe man. I love corelle! My mom still has the same set for over 30 years!

[numbersgirl08]

Didn't get the picnic table or block set. I decided the picnic table wasn't a good enough deal and we don't need it yet, so unless it was a great deal, I didn't want to store it for now. And the blocks sold out while my browser was refreshing grrrr. Probably best since they were still $80 blocks but they looked sooooooooo coooooool. I wanted to play with them.
