NFT: Amazon Prime Day starts today

LawrenceTaylor56 : 7/16/2018 9:41 am
36 hours long starting at 3pm today.

Depending on what you're looking for, it's been hit or miss the past couple years. The best bang for your buck is Amazon related products. (Alexa, Echo, Dot, etc)

I've been waiting to find a deal on Sous Vide. I missed the deal last year.

Also, throw some change BBIs way by using their affiliate link below. They get some percentage off every sale I believe.
Amazon Prime Day - ( New Window )
IMO best one so far for me has been the Fire tablets

being dropped down to 20 and 70 for the 8 and 10 inch, respectively.

Lots of Hype  
Samiam : 7/16/2018 10:22 am : link
There’s stuff I bought on Prime Day that I’ve seen cheaper on Amazon weeks weeks afterwards. I think it’s become a media event but unless you really need something, no reason to go out of your way.
Seems to be some good deals on Alexa devices already

Two echo dots for $50, one for $30 - standard Echo for $50, Echo Spot for $70...

Agree, the last few years have had a lot of merchandise they constantly have on deal of the day. There are some bargains but not like Black Friday. I'll check it out but unless something is really discounted,I'll pass. This is impulse buying at it's best!
I'd advice anyone  
LawrenceTaylor56 : 7/16/2018 10:50 am : link
to check out this site to ensure it's an actual deal. Amazon has been known to take a $20 product, raise the price to $40 and then have it on "sale" for $20 again.

CamelCamelCamel tracks amazon price history on products so you can determine if you're actually getting a good deal.

Thanks for posting this.
Wait, Prime "Day" is 36 hours?  
ZogZerg : 7/16/2018 12:13 pm : link
You would think Amazon could at least get the name right....
The name is established  
Rocky369 : 7/16/2018 12:24 pm : link
based on a 24-hour sale on their 20th anniversary. They extended it an additional 12 hours this year, as they now compete with box stores having competing sales.
