Prime Day and competing sales deals

So Prime Day started today and runs thru Wednesday. Usually there are also competing sales going on as well. Let everyone know if any good deals are out there we all might be interested in.

Here's a couple in my cart at the moment.

SAMSUNG PRO Plus + Adapter 512GB microSDXC Up to 160MB/s UHS-I, U3, A2, V30, Full HD & 4K UHD Memory Card for Android Smartphones, Tablets, Go Pro and DJI Drone $54.99

Fire HD 10 Plus tablet, 10.1", 1080p Full HD, 32 GB, $104.99

Looking at e-readers, it sounds like the Kindle Paperwhite is a good option. The Kindle Paperwhite Kids option looks best right now as it doesn't have the ads, includes a case, and has double the warranty of the 'adult' version.

Kindle Paperwhite Kids for $104.99 (Prime day deal)

Last year during the prime days, I ordered about $10,000 worth of stuff from Amazon… The order got messed up… discovered that everything I bought was much, much cheaper after Prime days.

I was looking at a Celestron telescope with automatic tracker, that during prime days was listed for $2000. Afterwards it was only $1200.

Same thing for an 8K television.

I’ve since quit everything Amazon.

Good luck!

I just ordered an Apple Watch for $279. It was 350 on Saturday. I actually bought it for 350 and have to return it to get the sale price. Actually just posted about that and the “what’s your deal section.

$300 off on Samsung Galaxy S22+ has me on the fence. Sure it's $300 off but it's still $734.99 for a phone.

I am a voracious reader. I just canceled my subscription, $9.99 / month, to Kindle Unlimited, and gave my self a Prime Day gift -- one year of Kindle Unlimited for eighty bucks and change.

Essentially, buy eight months, get four months free.

They also have six month and 24 month gift packages, but I figure that the one year is right, I can do the same thing again next year.

Both Walmart and Target have similar sales running through the 14th.

Set of Howard Leight earpro in green for $38 ain’t bad.

Limited-time deal for Prime Members: Howard Leight by Honeywell Impact Sport Sound Amplification Electronic Shooting Earmuff, Green https://a.co/d/iuEoStd

I have a set of Peltor Sport 500’s that are probably better, but an extra set isn’t bad to have on hand.

* Edit - Sport 100’s for $41 -

I couldn't find a thing I needed or even wanted. I was kinda disappointed.

But, of course, I had to open my big mouth and tell my wife, so she had me buy her a new Kindle Oasis with all the extras. Oh, well, she puts up with me so she deserves it.

Those appear to be gone? Only option now 4 months for $4.99. Bummer.

Did you notice they have (for the Prime deal):
List Price: $124.95 Details
With Deal: $68.95 & FREE Returns
You Save: $56.00 (45%)

and down on the right hand side:
Regular Price $99.95

Might skew the percentage savings a little!

In addition to checking other stores, for items on Amazon I use camelcamelcamel to check the price history of items I'm looking for.

True, they show % off of list, not normal sale price. I'm good with 30% on that deal though.
