Kindle Paperwhite Kids for $104.99 (Prime day deal)

Take a peek at this one for $59.95

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

I cannot repeat enough the value of camelcamelcamel.

If there is something you want but don’t need it now enter an email alert. Select the any amount option and it will keep emailing you price changes and you can buy at a price your happy with

Picked up an Apple TV 4K for $110 to replace an aging Fire TV (and also play apple music).

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.

I took advantage of the Howard Leights. Thanks!

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.

Thanks for the tip--it made my day!

I snagged the 24 month deal. Amazon just tacked the 24 month period onto my existing month-to-month subscription. I won't get another monthly charge until July 2024.

I've been scanning for deals.

Largely, it seems that all the "deals" are prc branded products made in prc. Basically, no name, fly by night prc companies selling prc shit. Not even well known brands selling their crap made in prc.

There may be some rare deals for name brand products. Samsung, Cuisinart, Apple. But otherwise, seems like Prime Day is just a clearing house day for prc companies selling prc shit that are pirated products from other brand name companies. Shame on Amazon.

Yeah, I started the cancellation process and they offered me 3 months for $9 and then I added the deal onto it.

I grabbed a garmin instinct solar watch and some bone conduction headphones. I've been watching both for a bit and both were cheaper than normal by a reasonable margin.

Thermoworks Thermapen One is currently 25% off.

Nice, I grabbed the aftershokz I think, it was a lightning sale and at least 20 off. Both should be good sets.

Scored some SD cards (64gb x2, V90) for $120 instead of $160.

Really not needing much else.

I bought the OpenMove model (lower end model) on June 5th. Dang, they are now $25 off. I am now tempted to order the OpenRun model as well.

I like the lower headband of the OpenRun, looks like it won’t interfere as much with my bicycle helmet

OpenRun is one of the Aftershokz models. It’s the replacement to the Aeropex model. I think it was $40 off normal price so about 30% off. I think two Aftershokz models were available on sale.

I'm confident the Kindle Unlimited plan will still be decent for that trial price. However I also looked on Kindle last night, I have about 100 titles that have accumulated in my Kindle wishlist.

I think about 7 of them were available with the Unlimited package......... guess I have expensive taste there as well.

I've been watching this monitor. Price it very tempting:

Bought a new Acer laptop that I almost bought two months ago to use for CADD, graphics and video editing. $500 off wasn't a bad deal at all, so I jumped at it. Also bought a Logitech gaming wheel for my Xbox X at $100 off its regular price.

Something else to check: your public library probably has an e-book program (mine does), so there's another source for free reading.

Depending on the library, there are various apps to facilitate the process. "Libby" and "OverDrive" are available at my county library (Seminole County, Florida).

This morning we pulled the trigger on the large size, carafe Technivorm Moccamaster (those Euros and their 4 oz. “cup” of coffee). My wife and I have had the Moccamaster on our list for a long time, based on the many glowing reviews of the machine in this Forum whenever coffee makers are discussed. 30% off felt like the right time.
