what are you getting?

Look for steals on more storage. I just dropped under 10tb free space so that means its time to add a couple drives

 

[olbriar]

I'm sure I'll be looking but won't be a buyer unless something I've earmarked is on sale.

 

[Clementine_3]

I don't really need or want anything but will check in often in case I see something for the kid or family folk.

 

[AugieTN]

Nothing I need, but I will check out what they have.

 

[Unforgiven]

I'm about ready to have a prime garage sale. I already have too much crap. I'm sure I'll browse and be tempted by something.

If anyone wants a new Android tablet, Amazon probably has discounts on the Fire tablets for Prime Day. But you'll have to install Google Play services yourself, because the Fire tablet doesn't come with them.

If it hasn't changed in the last couple years, the process is dead simple and takes maybe 10 minutes.

20% off on another cycling jersey set made me a buyer. I have a love - hate relationship with Prime day.

 

[Dannydet]

Meh. Not much for me. My wife just bought some clothes that were on sale but that's about it.

So far I've nabbed a 15.6" portable monitor. Price was too good to pass up and I've been eyeing one for a while lol.

Amazon is tempting me with a double dip as they're giving me extra % cash back on my prime card too. OOF

 

[Hadron]

I only have one item on my radar. Didn't expect it to be on sale, checked and it wasn't. Prefer to buy it from someone else anyway, so that's Prime Day done for me.

(I've never actually worked out what saving would justify the effort of joining Prime temporarily in order for me to get it, because that's pretty much how it goes every year).

 

[IOWA]

We're heavy amazon users and I've had prime since... college.

 

[Hadron]

I have a piece of Amazon marketing merchandise, an insulated coffee cup they sent me for some reason I've long forgotten, that's so old that the "swoosh" in their logo was the other way up (before someone thought "hey, if we turn it over it looks like a smile").

But I almost never need next day delivery, and don't watch a lot of TV, so for me Prime isn't actually worth the price. Plus I prefer to support smaller businesses for most things, so paying a subscription to the biggest retailer out there, which is also an incentive to use them in order more to get value from that subscription, doesn't really make sense for me.

 

[AugieTN]

I had Prime the first year it was out. I haven't ever renewed it because I never buy that much from Amazon. If you buy a lot from Amazon it certainly seems to be a good deal!

 

[olbriar]

I buy a great deal of stuff from Amazon and have been a Prime member for years. I enjoy their rental books that I use a great deal across the winter months. The next day shipping is not a biggie but Prime shipping adds up if you are a regular consumer. I likely save enough through a year in shipping costs to cover my Prime membership. I do watch some of their steams. Not a stand alone cost equalizer but it's there.
Other merchants outside of Amazon are also having a Prime sale. The e-bike upgrade I've been fighting off is also having a prime sale. The bike I want (RipCurrent S) is $800 off today through tomorrow. They don't sell on Amazon but are taking advantage of the Prime sale by having one of their own.

 

[IOWA]

Alright, let's add a WD RED PRO 18tb to my list of prime day grabs.

 

[AugieTN]

LOL! Why do you need 18TB? I have a 250GB Hard Drive 🤣

 

[olbriar]

Not Amazon but the Prime sale from Juiced Bikes pushed me over the fence. I bought a new upgrade E-bike.

 

[treb1797]

And I thought I had a bad porn addiction.18tb? Wow...

 

[IOWA]

Uh, that's just to add to my existing Array. Lol. I'm currently removing media I don't like to free up some space too. 4k eats a ton of space, and then I still need an additional 1080p copy so it doesn't have to transcode . So 1 4k/1080p movie set can eat 100gb of space by itself.

Unless the movie is Lord of the Rings, which a single one of them in 4k is an eye watering 132GB

Just bought me the meater meat probe(@treb1797 hold your tongue.....lol)

And I also thought I try some reusable ziploc style bags.

 

[treb1797]

A meat probe? You're into some kinky stuff bro....

I bet you enjoy a probe to phone temp monitor. I think they are a must.

Yeah my temp spike probe's bluetooth decided to work half of the time. Figured I check out meater..... Amazon said it's the #1 seller and was a good price for Prime Day.
