    Wow, not only does Prime Day offer nothing good to buy on sale, it actually doesn’t offer the lowest price over a one-month period. I’m surprised OP found something interesting to buy for Prime Day. I don’t even bother checking it out because in the past, all I see is junk I don’t want or need.

    I limited my shopping on Amazon the last few years. Too many “deals” that are the same during prime day as off. Like I was looking at a set of weights, was 199 now 99, they have been 99 for the last month now, the “deal” is now changed to “prime day exclusive” and price stayed the same. Yea… definitely prime day exclusive… definitely worth actually browsing the platform for these sales.

      I bought a set on end tables yesterday that had a $20 off coupon to clip. It’s the same exact deal today except with the prime day exclusive label too. The only thing I ended up ordering for prime day was a 3 pack of usbc chargers.

      Keepa is an amazing tool to have for Amazon since you can see the trends and “deals”.

    Only thing I got a deal on was a $29 512gb microSD card for my Steam Deck. Everything else was meh-ville.

    I looked at a shelf I bought last month it’s $2 cheaper now than it was but claims it’s 30% off when it’s been like 25% off since forever. Such trash. Tho I did get the pro galaxy buds for a decent discount

      It’s the price history of a product. It was $15 cheaper 2 weeks ago compared to the ‘prime day’ price. Browser plug-ins like camelcamelcamel will show charts like this

    Matter of luck really. I just bought a new phone last week and today it’s discounted by $140.

    I didn’t expect anything but plastic garbage and Alexa devices to be discounted, tbh.

    I wonder if Australians will tire saying price advertising like this is against Australian Consumer Law… Nah

    These trackers don’t show the “exclusive Prime price,” so you need to see the price in page along with the chart to actually tell anything.

    We’ve had that experience in years past, but ended up picking several items that were the lowest price in 1 to 6 months.

    There weren’t any crazy discounts, but it was better than nothing.

    Recently we got a law which forces anyone offering a discount to clearly state the lowest price from the last 30 days. So many capitalist piggies must have been livid
