Bought a Fire 10 tablet for $71, A 128mb micro SD card for $24 and a Fitbit watch and accessories for $120. I'm shopping primarily for Christmas and December birthdays.

@patbz Did you comparison shop prior to your Prime Day purchase?

@rms1954 Prime Day is *deals* on hundreds (thousands?) of items on Amazon.

I'm not sure if it's exclusive to Amazon Prime members or not.

I've only gotten one thing that someone swore was a great deal (a Roomba) and I'm not even sure if it was a great deal.

I do think I'm going to take advantage of the Prime Visa. You get a $200 Whole Foods gift card and what I really like about it is---no annual fee. It's thru Chase and I have a Chase Visa, but get hit with a $99 annual fee. (It was waived the first couple of years, but I see last month I got charged--so touche away with that!).

I might have my husband cancel his Chase Visa, too and get the Amazon Prime and another $200 WF gift card. That'll fill 4 bags of groceries!

@patbz I don't even know what the first two things you listed are....lol. But go for it! Obviously you know a good deal.

@Mz iMac : Yes; that's the best price I've ever seen for a new Fire 10. Before I buy on Prime Day I really comparison shop.

@rms1954 : Amazon holds this 2 day sale twice a year and its the equivalent of Black Friday. Its the only big sale I follow and if you shop carefully you can save a lot of $. You can read about it on Amazon's site.

I've gotten emails from so many other companies trying/vying for my business. Catch word in most of them is *Prime*.

I just did my purchase of an Amazon e-gift card.

Buy a $50 Amazon e-gift card and get a $12.50 promotional credit added to your account.

I bought the gift card and texted it to myself.

Me too! I purchased Apple Airpods for $89.

Best Buy has a sale on the same ones for $99. QVC has no sale, they have them for $179.

Most major retailers are having big sales to match Amazon's Prime Day sales today & tomorrow. You would think QVC would at least offer free shipping today to try to compete!

My Echo Dot is a first-gen one that's showing its age, so I upgraded and replaced it with a new one for $32 with a free Singled LED bulb and a clock built into the Dot. And I got a new Fire TV Stick for a 32" TV that doesn't have one now. At $16.99 that's hard to beat. I don't anticipate buying anything else.

I did see they had some catnip-flavored Temptations treats for cats, but I'll buy a smaller pack locally to see if my cats like them or not. I hadn't seen those before. I'm not sure how a catnip-flavored treat would work. Would my cats want to roll in them or eat them?

I do not do Prime but my son and DDIL do. His 39th birthday is tomorrow so I also put in his card a Amazon gift card knowing it would come in handy this week. Yesterday I emailed an e-card to my DDIL to stock up on whatever she needs for my two grandchildren going back to school. This will be my GS's first year. They love Prime Day, for me I do not shop enough to pay the fee to join.

I got my husband a new Kindle Fire and case, for me I got a Frye wristlet and for the cats a new scratching post that looks like a cactus. Pretty good day I would say.

@Lucky Charm : The deal with new Prime credit card is an immediate $200 Amazon gift card ( NOT JUST FOR WHOLE FOODS as you stated). My son got this deal last night; he's very happy.
