I picked up a few little things, but nothing eBook related.
The one item I wanted the most wasn't on sale! |

That's pretty much it. A huge bust for me. I didn't like the prices, so I got nothing. Maybe prices will be better during the real Black Friday, which will begin in Oct with tons of pre-sales and pre-sales and...
Remember when these sales used to last just a few days to a week? Now they last a couple of months and the discounts are much worse. C'est la vie. I'll unstick this thread when Newegg's sale ends tomorrow. |

Well worthwhile just for the 99 cent channels to catch up on new seasons of some great shows. Also got a few other things, another pack of $5 Kasa smart plugs, a pair of Crocs that probably won't fit well enough to keep, a $100 Shark vacuum - probably cost that much to fix the old one...

My wife bought a dual-basket air fryer.
I bought a bag a Yakers for our pug. That's all that we bought, |

I was not a Prime member, but my beloved waterprooof Aerb MP3 player died and the player I identified as the likeliest replacement (and there are not many options these days) was on a 20% off Prime Day sale, so I grabbed an offer for a one-week intro Prime membership for 99¢.
Now to see how many piddling purchases with free shipping I can make in the next few days and then quit before my membership converts! I’m kidding, mostly, but I suspect I’ll take a look. |

None of the items I'm currently looking at were on sale either on Amazon or elsewhere so this year, I ended up making no Black Friday in July and/or Prime Days purchases.

Like many on here, I was skunked too. I did have a few things I wanted that were not e-book related, but nothing had enough (or any) discount to move them off my wish list and into my cart.
And with all of the oldsters who have passed away or moved to assisted living in our family recently, and whose stuff is now in our house "to be sorted", we don't have room anyway. Thank heaven for ebooks, which take no room at all. And per @Catlady, at least it was 7% on the slow shipping thing - often it's only 6%, which is only 1% over what you get with a Prime credit card anyway. So it would take a $100 order (or $50 at 2% over) to get an extra $1 credit. I'll pass on that, although I do often use the "deliver on the same day" option if I'm not in a hurry, just for eco purposes. |
