Just curious what you guys are getting? I'm too lazy to sift through all the pages to discover the good stuff.

Their site's down, so nothing at the moment.

This might help:

I was mostly hoping eBay was going to have a decent coupon (as was rumored a few places) as competition, I've got a couple things in my shopping cart.  So far no dice.

Some Champion basketball shorts...

 

That I had click on 17 times because the page was down.

 

Is it just me or are all their Prime Day pages broken? And a lot of stuff is miscatagorized; even more than usual?

What a berkeleying mess...

Well I'm saving a ton of money today. Prime deals page stuck in an endless loop. Probably just as well.

Snagged a $120 pair of Mizuno running shoes for $66. 

 

Had to F5 like I was signing up for a pro solo.

Even the prime video app has been acting up all day. Screw this noise, just trying to invent another black Friday anyway.

I was only able to get a few pages to load, did find a fair deal on a phone. Other than that couldn't find anything else because the system was over loaded. Kind of a let down.

It's not as blatant as "Spring Black Friday" or whatever it is the big box hardware stores are trying to pull. I had to go get some hardware that day, I almost walked back out again.

This week I have been shopping for 4 tires.  I did not realize that it was Prime Day until I read this post.  I swear I was on Amazon earlier today searching tires but I had trouble with the site crashing and moved on.  

Just now, I tried the site again.  It continued to be fickle but seemed better on Laptop than it did on phone.  

Anyway...  I ended with these:

 

4 of: Falken Ziex ZE950 All-Season Radial Tire - 185/65R15 88H   $50.98 each

Elsewhere, these 65k rated tires run about $60-$65.  Amazon had them for $50.98.  A good savings in itself. 

Amazon then had the ability to use my AmEx reward point and apply directly to the purchase.  This was another $68.22 off the price.  I have done this before with AmEx Points but what had never seen before was an additional 20% discount the purchase price if you use the AmEx points. That gave another $40.78 off.

Net result:  I paid $110.20 out of pocket for 4 tires ($27.55 each); and pretty good tires at that.    Winning!

 

 

Item(s) Subtotal:$203.92

Shipping & Handling:$0.00

Amex 20% Off:-$40.78

OH State Tire Fee$4.00 

-----Total before tax:$167.14

Estimated tax to be collected:$11.28

Rewards Points:-$68.22 

-----Grand Total:$110.20

Yea, the whole Amazon site has been a mess for me all afternoon. Wonder how many million in lost sales per minute this is costing them...

About 3 months ago, I bought this dashcam.  Now it is showing a coupon for 25% off.  Goes from $54.99 to $41.24 (but remember to buy a SD card too)

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0773FXVKL/ref=twister_B07C1KWNNG?_encoding=UTF8&th=1

The reason I originally bought it was because it is highly rated over at https://dashcamtalk.com/

Some Wera tools are 20% off. If you combine with the AmEx points 20% discount, they're about as cheap as they're ever going to be. I got the 11-piece Joker combo wrench set I've been eyeballing for a year for $132 instead of $220.

Not that I'll ever participate in Black Friday, but if Cyber Monday or Prime Day or whatever are going to give me a big enough discount to push me over the cliff on buying something, I don't mind.

I think I'm going to pick up a Fire 10 and play around with it and see if I will actually use it the way I'm envisioning.

I'm not buying anything but I enjoyed the dogs that kept showing up on the "oops something happened" pages while SWMBO was browsing.

I grabbed the smallest simplest Kindle to replace my smallest simplest Nook for $50 instead of the usual $80. The Nook ecosystem has been dying slowly for a while, plus SWMBO is on Kindle. We've been reading the same books lately so this allows us to single purchase and share.

I looked at other stuff but I don't really NEED anything right now.

I just checked and the tires that yesterday were $50.98 are $58.66 each today.  The dashcam still is same price and still has 25% off offer.

I bought a replacement firestick that came with an Echo Dot.

 

Echo dot will be used as an intercom to our boys bedroom in lower level.

They are sometimes hard to understand each other. We use the intercom feature sometimes and it's a bit wonky.
