In yesterday's post, I stated that many folks were shopping online for Amazon Prime Day deals this week, ourselves included. Sometimes, looking at items we don't plan to buy.
That said, there can be those deals that seem too good to be true, like this ↓ one .
Of course, I did click the Amazon link to find out more about this supposed deal.
Yes, it wasn't so much a deal as the last number had been left off the preview ad. Who knows if this was intentional. But, it does seem someone didn't check the ad for the correct price.
If we were looking for new luggage 😏 for upcoming trips (more on those later), this would have been a fantastic deal even for Prime Days.
After distressing news about the flooding and deaths in Texas and New Mexico, plus USPS postal increases effective this weekend, a bit of humor can lighten the mood. Thanks to all who commented on my previous post about organizations supporting relief efforts.
Enjoy Your Weekend, Everyone
Did anyone shop and/or find deals during Prime Days ?

It's so funny that Amazon remembers everything I've ever purchased, and thinks I should buy another one! The deals did get me a new keyboard and mouse, to use with the laptop. The screen needs to be higher, so this will let me keep my neck more comfortable! I didn't know about UPS rates, and am now very glad I made a shipment earlier this week. Laughing out loud at the suitcase ad!
We do need to be so careful - ads can be very misleading. The suitcase ad is ridiculous.
Sue got a notice that an item already on her Wish List was marked down a little.
I choose not to buy from Amazon unless I can't find the item anywhere else (which only happens a couple of times a year).
I dropped my membership a couple of years ago. I don't like shopping there but convince usually wins over my disgust. Free shipping with $35 purchase made that decision easy. Amazing what omitting one number can do to the price!
...typos can be expensive mistakes.
Too bad that wasn't a sign in a brick and mortar store as they usually have to honor it. Crazy!
No special purchases here. I wish I didn''t have to shop on Amazon, but being housebound all these years I really have little choice because of the convenience.
I don't do Prime and try to cut back on Amazon. But this is a good example of reading the full description before "add to cart!"
ooooh boy, that sure "would have" been a great deal. you do have to be careful when ordering, sometimes they will give you a different price if you "subscribe" to a product, i never do that but several times i caught it done that way before buying!! i'm sure you know what i am talking about. getting back to the "deal"....at 10 bucks, you could get one for everyone on your christmas list, be the BIG giver and be done shopping in july!!!
We also have to remember that there are a lot of fake emails too. Some of them represent as from actual places like Social Security or Amazon. If you click on their links who knows what they have in ,ind. Often they look like the official emails of the places they claim to be. It's always better to go directly to the site instead.
What a disappointing find!!! T.J. Maxx has a lot of luggage at really good prices. Each store is different. It is usually in the front of the store.
I usually don't do Prime Day, but my husband found a great deal on a big battery that would be able to power the refridgerator in case of a power outage (we often have preventative ones on "red flag" days) and the second battery could power everything else that is essential.
Yes, you need to look carefully at the small print and what the large print might not be telling you. We don't use Amazon because of its reputed poor salaries and working conditions.
