I guess if youāve just been dying to buy a Watieoboo, Leshare or JoLeshare or the cheaper magic yo-yos I guess this is a good timeā¦
Only thing that peeked my interest is water balloons are on sale and a decent price on the evil Bezos platformā¦ sorry I meant Amazon. Damn auto correct.

Dude the cam is a great idea but hate that you got to pay the 30 or 40 a year to see live.

Iāve fallen victim!
Almost ordered a new chandelier+bulbs for our dining room yesterday. Decided to sleep on it and sure enough, saved $30+ by waiting until Prime Day.
Got a sweet pair of touch lamps for our bedroom nightstands (been searching for awhile).
Looking at a roku and wall mount for the guest bedroom tvā¦maybe, maybe!
Also, maybe a new kitchen sink. We heard a crash the other night, it was one of the āsupportsā that the previous homeowner had installed for the āundermountā sink. Opened the cabinet to find a piece of 2x1" cheeze-wizzed with glue 
That $150 tv was a good deal if youāre ok with Pioneer. Displays have been getting cheaper and cheaper!

Tvs I wait on. People where I live must be made of money cuss they toss perfectly good tvs all the damn time so Iām stocked in decent tvs. I just drive around on trash pickup days after Black Friday and find a few good ones on my rounds. (I ask the neighbor before I just take it)
I bought a Roku probably 5 years ago and itās still going strong in my living room. Havenāt had a need or desire to upgrade or change it. I had got a fire stick at some point but they are a tad more annoying with ads snd such. Just not my preference. I use the one fire stick I have in my office and have some stuff side loaded on it.

Weāve had a roku in our bedroom for a few years and we dig it plenty well! Honestly, works better than the playstation does for streaming services, most of the time
Yeah, I hear you on displays. People are always throwing them out. I get em from work all the time along with touch panels, control processors, DSPs, and all sorts of other distributed audio/video and control ājunkā.
Good thing I know how to use it all, our house has been growing smarter and smarter each year!

Iāve found with cats, dogs, kids and wife āsmartā house are not so smart. Too many variables. Too many things changing snd moving and little consistency day to day. Either annoyed to hell with alerts snd notifications or erroneous āsmartā behavior as the automation fails to keep up and work with the folks in the house. Iām convinced all this āsmartāstuff is designed by and for single people in studio apartments.

There are some fantastic deals on D&D books! I believe many are on sale for $20.

Haha, thatās real! I donāt subscribe to what most people call smart devices.
I do, however, have a central controller that I write the programming for. Right now itās just lighting and hvac, with astronomical timers for outdoor/holiday lighting and our thermostat schedule. Of course, Crestron is still a dirty 4-letter word to some folks.
Eventually, I have dreams of distributed audio and maybe some video over ip distribution.

Smart devices are intriguing, but the smart home stuff just feels like a big step towards a bad decision. Like AI. Reliance on these things leans toward a future not unlike Bladerunner.
Just because you can, doesnt mean you should.
Id rather not get murdered by my toaster in my sleep.
