I read a story that compared prices 50 days before and after the sale that people saved 0.8 percent on Prime day.
0.8
LOL!
The best deal I saw was a Kindle Fire 7 for 29.99, like the one I have. But it’s out of date and with ads, and when I get a new one I want it ad-free.
They did have one item that was six dollars cheaper than when I had saved it, so I bought that. Other than those, I just didn’t see anything that represented much of a deal.
There's a website Amazon Price History Charts that informs you if the product you are interested in buying is either up or down pricewise.
Other than some obvious loss leaders, I didn't see anything that wasn't available at a better price somewhere else, or just some coupons that pop up on Amazon from time-to-time.
Lotsa hype, no substance.
