I started a thread for 2016 Prime Day. I think it was better suited for the Mundane Pointless forum 😃 [http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=798221](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=798221) ---

By narrowing down to only the departments I’m interested in and only sales with a high enough discount (filters on the left), I was able to find a portable battery/usb charger, the kindle tablet, and a couple of other things. ---

We’ll need a harness-to-booster car seat sooner rather than later and they had a decent deal on one of the ones I was looking at. So, I mean, I guess that’s fine. ---

My laptops blow up every three years and this one hits that mark in September so I’ve been sort of looking. I wasn’t impressed with Prime Day last year but I thought SURELY they’ll have a decent deal or two on an acceptable laptop. Huh. I didn’t see ANY laptops, not even in the “missed” category. I saw a Linksys range extender that we could use. 5% were claimed but it was sold out. ??? ---

Yeah, another “meh” prime day. As to Amazon devices, I’ve already stocked up from previous sales. Nothing really special here. I am thinking about getting another Dash button for 99 cents for funzies. Would never use it for it’s intended purpose. ---

Has anybody shopped from Prime Pantry? If so, did it save you enough to be worth it? ---

Ha, that was last year and we still talk about it as “the moment we truly realized we are adults and that adulting sucks”. ---

Yeah, the one I’ve been looking at as a replacement says I’d save $.99. Be still, my pounding heart. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/prime-day-schmime-day-yawn/725272.md?page=2)
