    I got a pretty cheap little condenser mic normally 50 for 14 bucks. That was cool. Some other music stuff about half off, got a 300 dollar ceiling fan for 100 bucks and a new carseat for a decent discount.

    Not bad.

    Stoked on all the discounts on clothes. An extra 30 percent off. Made out like a bandit.

    I bought a tent that I am taking to the Tetons for the eclipse next month but I already needed one. I think I saved $50. This year was definitely the best deals of any Prime Day so far.

    Some of the small electronics, like the Amazon Fire tablets, bluetooth headphones, and power banks were a decent value.

    I bought a pair of Audio Technica ATH-PRO700 SV's a few years ago.

    1) Great sound
    2) Fit like a vice on my head (ow)
    3) Snapped right where the cup meets the headband after about 2 or 3 years. I've seen it happen to others.

    Only mentioning this since they seem to be built similar to the M50x's. I would've bought a pair like this if what happened above hadn't happened. I ended up going with some Ultrasone HFI 780's. I agree, though -- for the price this is probably a pretty good deal, although it has hit $110-$120 a few times during the past few months.

    And a pressure cooker was what Col. Sanders used to make the original Kentucky Fried Chicken.

    Count me in the camp that thinks the echo is useless and dumb. I don't even use okay google. If I want to know something I'd lose my mind asking the echo. When I can just search for it on google.
    If I want to order a pizza, I download the dominos app and one click and I have it.

    decided to grab an echo when it was on sale. its ok so far. like being able to just ask it to play music and it plays. still kinda digging through the "skills" it has. havent tried jeopardy or the sleep sounds yet.

    any "skills" i'm missing out on?

    Theyve got the annova nano for $63 too. If youre not expecting to cook for a family and just for one or two, Id recommend the nano, as its a lot smaller and easier to fit on smaller pots. It also has bluetooth on that one.

    I wanted to add to my philips hue setup. But the things I want are still regularly priced. So lame. That stuff is overpriced but still nice.

    Ring Pro doorbell bundled with an Echo Dot is $169. The Ring Pro alone is usually $249. This is the one that requires existing doorbell wiring.

    I don’t think people use the echo for those functions. It’s more music, lights, electronics, alarms, where it really shines.

    Been wanting a robotic vaccum. Something to help with the dogs. And they had the Alexa enabled one for about $100 cheaper than it usually is so I copped it. YOLO.

    yeah. Also controls my TV. Not needing remotes or even having to get up from the couch is a nice and cheap luxury

    Got that plus a Vitamix E320 refurb for $180. And I'm done now.

    Very nearly spent $300 on a bidet but thought better of it.
