What the title says. Every year I hear everyone at work go buzzing about Prime Day, and then when I’d go check what items were on sale they were mostly cheap gaff and a bunch of minimally discounted tech products. Am I missing something that’s optimal to get around this time of year?

    Amazon Fresh (I think you need a Prime membership to access this) is having a lot of buy one get one free items, and lots of coupons (25 to 35% off) on certain items. If you order $100 there’s a 20% off code (FRESHSAVE20).

    Also Starz subscriptions are 2 months for 99 cents (a good deal for a non pirate).

    Other online retailers are probably running sales to compete with Amazon so I would check other sites.

    They’re really bad at showing you the best deals on the site, search for news articles to find the good stuff.

    In previous years I’ve got my Roomba, my drone, a good toothbrush. a kindle fire, ring cameras and a cordless vacuum.

    All things I wanted and was keeping an eye on so I spotted when the prices dropped.

    I grabbed an Intel Arc 750a & a Jackery power station + a 100w portable solar panel. My wife & I have been looking at both of those for a while.

    I bought a puzzle box which had a good deal. But that was blind luck. That is I think the first time something I wanted was on sale.
