Did anyone take advantage of what Amazon was offering? I bought one thing. One. Lousy. Thing. None of the prices of items on my wish list went down lower except for the one thing that I bought. Same as last year. And you just know that it'll take them a week just to get to my order due to the volume of sales. I don't get what all the hype is about......

A ton of other stores has better deals.

I got some smart bulbs, a smart plug, a Samsung tablet to use at work instead of always using my cell phone, and a fitbit.

I got a couple small things only because I had $10 credit from shopping at Whole Foods.

Prime Day is mostly a bunch of hype.
Do you use the free Whole Foods delivery option offered by Prime?

I agree about the hype. I was looking for certain specific things that happened to be offered at a good deal. Unless you have specific things in mind, I think a person could get sideways in a hurry buying random stuff just because it's ''on sale''.

I don't use the Whole Foods delivery service. I usually only go in there for lunch. Their salad bar is good and I'll occasionally get a sandwich from the deli counter. Everything is way more expensive than it needs to be in there. If I did my weekly grocery shopping there I'd be completely broke :p

We don't have one this far out in the sticks. I always wondered if they were on the pricey side.

It's not referred to as "Whole Check" for nothing!

I am definitely not an earthy, crunchy, Non-GMO, all organic kinda dude. I go there for lunch occasionally as it's within walking distance of SwiftDog Manor.

What is a smart plug? When you try to plug it in wrong, it says "no dumb ass, turn it around." :)
It's an outlet that you can use to have Alexa turn on the Christmas tree, or a lamp, or what ever you plug into it. I'm gonna use it for the Christmas tree because I have the smart light bulbs for all the lights.....I'm getting lazy in my old age :biggrin2:
