Amazon Prime Day

We have a lot of things in our wish list that we are waiting to see if the prices go down on prime day. Any suggestions on how to navigate the day. Thanks all

I've never really had any luck with Amazon Prime Day, but I can tell you my wish list is a mile long! Hopefully some of those items will be on sale, but we'll see.

Sometimes I can get toys for Christmas for some of the younger ones I shop for. Rarely do they have things I want or need.

I haven’t done much on Prime Day but I do recall getting both Alexas during the sale.

It's been my experience that the prices go up and then they will lower them on Prime Day but not to what I paid last time.

Since Nordstrom was sold out of the items I really wanted, I will be shopping the Amazon Prime Day sale. I have a $100 gift card, I'm looking to do some damage! The only thing I'll say is that not everything is reduced for the sale, usually the items I want aren't on sale.

I haen't had much luck on Prime Dy in the past. Things I want/need don't seem to be on sale. I've been shopping for my daughter's dorm room and other college items for well over a year. Now, it's down to a few things and shopping /price comparison, etc. and prices for those, so far, are best on Amazon. So, I've written down my items along with prices and I will see if there is a "Sale" on Prime Day. Many times I've found that the price is jacked up and then just lowered to it's original price.

I'd probably put everything I wanted in my cart and then take pics. That way I can see if they upped the prices, and even the delivery date(s).

I'm a Prime Member and have their VISA, so technically I get an additional 5% off Amazon (and Whole Foods) purchases. Unfortunately, I've never really found anything I wanted on Prime Day.

Some of the major publications do a "how to shop Prime Day" feature. I read one yesterday that if I paraphrased it would read Prime Day stinks. If you are in the market for Amazon devices I think those might be attractively priced. Other than that, I don't think it's ever a great sale.

I have placed things in my cart that I would have purchased anyway. Instead of pushing the submit button now. I will purchase on Prime day and hopefully save a few bucks.

I do not expect to have any great savings.

Mostly, nothing in my list is ever on sale. However, last year, I discovered the Fitbit I had in my Wish List had a lowered price. It was not a price that was raised just so they could lower it for Prime day because I knew how much it was when I put it in my cart and that was like a month or so before Prime day. Also, the price was higher if I went to the actual product page. I had to buy it directly from my Wish List to get that lowered price.

prime sales come and go, some hourly. You'll have to monitor your wish list prices.

I haven't had much luck with Prime Day. I did make a list of things I want to get/reorder but none of them were on sale except for one. I got a Pur water filter to replace the one I have that is on its way out and got that at almost half price of what I paid for it 6 years ago. I also got some allergy relief tablets that offered an 11% discount if you ordered 3 or more bottles and that will get me to the end of the year. Don't know if that was part of Prime day or not but was a good deal for me since they are way more expensive in the stores.

I bought a new iPad to replace my old one. Amazon's price was the best and when I stopped at Best Buy to see if they would price match I got a big no. So my Prime day iPad is on its way, along with a case, then today I ordered 2 pairs of Skechers also at a really good Prime day price. I'll be checking on and off for the rest of the day, but happy with my buys.

Just when I thought I was done shopping on Prime Day, I found more stuff I needed to buy and the prices were just too good to pass up. I need to just stop already...LOL!
