Prime Day's coming

If you're thinking about an Instant Pot, there are already a couple of them at PD prices.

Hmmm, wonder if it's time to upgrade my ancient Kindle....battery life is starting to decline.

I just bought one of these and I'm really happy with it. Better value than any of the Prime deals I've seen and a much faster computer than I ever expected to own. New this unit was some $1200.

Case is a bit scuffed and I don't care:

Prime Day? Motile or immotile ...

Had a look at the Prime Day offerings. They consist almost exclusively of gadgets that hoover up my personal data in exchange for some marginal convenience.

Naw...

That was my impression as well. I also haven't seen any TVs for sale that seem like they are a better buy than the one we got (which of course is a relief!) although I think there may be some good TV sales for someone with different criteria.

Although there do seem to be some good sales on Instant Pots, I might ask Mr. SK if he wants one.

I lost a nice pair of headphones a week ago. I thought about replacing them, but decided to wait to see if they'd go on sale on Prime Day.

Score!

I ended up spending more on Prime day than I expected. Snagged a good deal on a Bluetooth speaker, a cool copper colored coffeemaker and a grill brush.

Now I need to turn off this computer so I don't go back and buy more stuff.

That reminds me... I never did pick anything from my benevolent employer's prize catalog. I should do that.

Doesn't that describe most of the internet? Especially Amazon?

Dogs eat bristles from tasty grill brushes. We had trouble when the Welsh Terrier ate some.
