I looked around a bit but didn’t see anything I needed. I saw some good deals but they aren’t good deals if you don’t really need (or greatly want) the product. ---

Like someone else upthread, I mainly got frustrated thanks to how challenging it is to wade through over a million discounts, and that nothing I already had in my cart or wish lists was on sale. I did eventually stumble on a half price deal on Eero WiFi things. I was planning to move my existing router, but it suddenly seemed saner to buy new mesh network hardware than to empty out my master bedroom closet to get at the crawlspace hatch and roll around under the house with all the spiders to run cables. So far, the devices are living up to their promise. ---

I bought a bluetooth speaker since my JingleBall crapped out, and there was an offer for a smart plug for $4.99, so I added that and spent a whopping $25. A few weeks ago I bought a bidet attachment, and I didn’t even check to see if it went on sale during Prime Day.
