Anyone shopping Amazon Prime day?

gidgetgh — Tue, 11 Jul 2017 10:46:10 GMT

I only browsed a little this morning as my husband has a really early doctor appointment, but I did quickly look at the Citizen Eco Drive watches. I love these watches.

My very favorite watch by them is pink with crystals around the bezel. Amazon's normal price is terrific but today it's 30% off that.

I looked briefly at handbags but nothing really jumped out.

Anyone buy anything?

I was going to do the trial Prime and get the Amazon Echo as I have one and would like another one. That is a great price and no sites are matching it. Are there any advantages to having Prime? I would probably use the music and maybe the free shipping.

No, I'm not buying anything. But...when the nightly news gave a demo of the big event, a family told Alexa to order an Elmo toothbrush. My Alexa then tried to order one for us! I'll bet I'm not the only one who experienced that. I was able to tell her to cancel, and I THINK I did. I'll let you know if an Elmo toothbrush shows up on my porch this week!

I wanted a Fire TV for my living room and I've also been looking to get a bigger 4K HDTV for the living room, so their 55" 4K HDTV with the Fire TV built in for $399 was my buy this year. If I bought the Fire TV alone at the normal price with an HDMI cable I'd pay around $100, so I pretty much get a 55" 4K HDTV for $300 this way.

I've looked at a few things but haven't purchased yet.

I was hoping to get a pair of 2 ctw Moissanite stud earrings at a reasonable price, but all they have are smaller stones set in sterling. I don't wear white metal and it's too spendy of a stone (at least to me) to not have it set in gold.

I do have a Prime account and earlier in the week I signed up for a good deal on unlimited Kindle. In the long run, it'll be cheaper than renewing my non-resident library card in FL.

The Echo is a great deal at half price and it looks like it'll be that price all day. I already have one plus the Echo Dot. If I didn't have the Dot, I would purchase another Echo at this price!

Other than that, I really haven't seen anything I really need.

@Twoaces . Same thing almost happened to me! During the news segment my Alexa perked up but I don't think she heard the command so she went back to sleep. I did check my lists just to be sure though!

Everytime there is a demonstration of the Echo on TV my Alexa wakes up when they mention her name...it's kind of funny!

Nothing on my shopping list, so I'm going to stay away.

I just don't get the hype.

In general not a real fan of Amazon in the first place.

Do people really have to check in like every five minutes to see if new things pop up on special? If so, who has time for that?

I'm passing.

Bought two items for small Christmas gifts. Thinking about an Echo or Echo Dot for a gift. I most often shop Amazon at Christmastime for gifts. My last order was in March.

ETA: good price on the Jockey Comfies I bought here previously on LTS and seem to be no longer carried at the Q, so I bought a 3-pack at Amazon today.

Knocked out about a third of my Christmas shopping this morning. Very happy.

I have prime, but, I just do not understand why you would buy something you never needed just because it is a good deal?

@Mominohio, I wondered about that too! That would be crazy if that's the case. And I'm already a Prime member for some years, but I don't get the hype of this particular sale? I remember last year's Prime Day didn't wow me at all and I remember being disappointed for falling for the hype too.
