Just like build-a-bear day and Black Friday. You’re going to buy a bunch of shite you don’t need because you get free shipping or because it’s a few dollars off . What are you doing? Where are your priorities? And lol at people who already have Prime getting on amazon to buy stuff on Prime day.


Maybe people waited and bought things they need on that day to save money...?

Dang, I would've grabbed a few of those. I never looked on Amazon during the sale day.

Hopefully you go back and read your post one day and realize how dumb you sound. Maybe not tomorrow, maybe not next week, but one day.

You’re sad. Why do you care so much about someone else’s shopping? Especially at their own convenience.

I had courtesy credit so I got a free fire tv that I needed for a tv to watch mostly LSU games.

Prime use to be even better before Louisiana started charging tax.

I got 35 dollars off on something I was planning on buying my dad for Christmas and I didn't have to inconvenience myself to do it

Nothing at all like black Friday

The average American is exactly what he described.

Nearly 70% have less than $1000 in savings.

Only 39% can afford to spend $1000 on an unforeseen expense.

Average credit card debt >$15,000.

That shrinking percentage will be expected to care for the rest of those dumbasses later in life.

Its called capitalism, and free will, people can do whatever they want with there money regardless if it a good decision, they are ones that have to live with it, and this is not a recent development, there have been one day a year sales since the first availability of bulk consumer goods, "white sales", "Black Friday Sales", "labor day dale", etc.

Did anyone point out yet that prime members, which prime day is exclusive for, have free shipping (2 day) all year and not just on prime day?

Smart shopper finds what they want and checks camelcamelcamel for Amazon's price history

Have fun for once

I had to go to Whole Foods for work last week to buy a birthday cake and I got a $10 credit towards prime day for shopping. Basically $10 to spend towards anything that day. I didn't need anything so logged in before the deals started and bought a $9.99 teething toy for my kid. So $0 out of my pocket. I had a good prime day experience.

I’ve easily saved my membership’s worth in Prime shipping and Prime Video.

I don't buy anything online that doesn't kick in free shipping, so . . . .

And I get tons of free movies from HBO, Starz, VUDU, FX, TBS, USA, SYFY, Disney, Paramount, TNT, etc through my cable & phone contracts, so . . . .
