Prime Day: Any good deals this year?

[RayaMumsnet]

It’s Prime Day (again!) and, while I love a good deal as much as anyone else, I’m all about finding bargains on things that are genuinely useful and built to last.

Have you spotted anything worth sharing in this year’s Prime Day sale? Add your finds to the thread below.

Here are a few deals I’m eyeing up:

28% off Duux Whisper Flex 2 Smart Fan - was £180, now £130 (lowest price ever according to CamelCamelCamel). Mumsnet's Home Editor, Poppy tested this fan last summer and was really impressed by how quiet it was.

24% off JISULIFE Portable Neck Fan - was £34, now £26. I’m thinking this might be the answer to commuting in the heatwave? Read the review.

49% off Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream was £28 now £14. There have been threads about this cult classic on Mumsnet for years, and at almost 50% off I’m tempted to give it a try.

Take a look at our round-up of top finds in the Prime day sale for more deals from MNHQ.

I use Alexa everyday. For setting alarms, timers, turning a radio station on, turning lights on, asking about weather, reminders etc.

Also, have Amazon dots in other rooms and they function in similar manner. There might be more functionality but that’s what I use them for.

People are not talking about tat here in the main. It's been kindles, speakers, beauty products and kids snacks.

Not everything from Amazon is bad!

I don't buy anything I haven't already planned to buy. It's not a bargain if I don't need it

I bought a new kindle, only because my old one which tbf I’d had for 12 years, is no longer being supported by Amazon and no longer downloads books. I like one for my summer holiday though so at least I got it for the Prime day price, though it cost slightly more to get the ad free version. Don’t recall that being a thing before either!

Jeff Bezos is a cunt

cant people buy kids snacks in local shops?

I havnt a clue about the environmental damage caused by aviation fuel versus container ship fuel….i imagine both as damaging! Maybe they both churn out zillions of tons of CO2 and that’s why people are buying cheap plastic fans from china!

I have changed from Clinique makeup this year to Laura Geller, love it. Just bought another icons palette in a different shade which includes foundation x 2, blusher, bronzer, highlighter and eyeshadow as brilliant for holidays. It cost £35 with susbscribe and save on Amazon and is currently on discount at over £50 on the LG website. Also bought a set of 10 LG make up brushes for £33, a real bargain compared to buying them individually and best brushes I have used.

I bought a Keter rosewood bench reduced to £99, have been meaning to buy one for a while but never got around to it.

Thanks for all the recommendations

Anyone else spot any good beauty deals?

I mean Mumsnet earn money everytime you click on one of the links on their posts so I’d suggest that was the purpose of the thread!!

I find that often the prices are no different to a few months back and it tends to be the same things on offer.

I need a doorbell. May be it’s time to try one with a camera.
Anyone who has Ring or alternative - would you recommend and do you need to have a monthly subscription (how much)?

Aaand here's a round up of some of the tech/home/baby stuff recommended on the thread so far...

There’s usually a few good Kindle deals during Prime Day events, @Gingerkittykat spotted this Kindle Paper white Raspberry thats 29% off If you scroll down to the very bottom of this page, there’s a big list of Kindles on offer.

@chickenpotnoodle flagged this great deal on Ninja Foodi MAX Dual Zone Air Fryer. We really rate this one too, you can read our review of it here, it’s 31% off atm.

If you're in the market for some new headphones, you can usually get a good deal on airpods. There are quite a few on offer, thanks for sharing @hay5689

There are lots of deals on the Echo range too including 48% off this Echo Dot great spot @kawaiikooh

And here are a few links to some of the car seats @BertieBotts recommended:

25% off Graco Slimfit R129
29% off Graco Turn2Me Group 0+/1
35% off Maxi-Cosi Pebble 360 i-Size

Hopefully I've got all those right, let me know if you spot any other good deals!

Does Mumsnet get commission if we buy through your link?

Hi @BeardySchnauzer, yes like many sites, Mumsnet uses affiliate links and may receive a small commission if someone buys something after clicking through. It doesn’t cost users anything extra, and it helps keep the site free to use. I put a note in the OP for transparency, and there’s more detail in our terms of use.

Yes I was wondering more about where you are collating the other posters suggestions. Not fully au fait with how these things work

I don't have prime. Anywhere there's a few things I need but as it's so tightly linked to prime you can't order anything without them trying to sign you up or you cant even put things in your basket if not a prime member I've got the items from argos and the supermarkets and found their cheaper than Amazon prime deals. Eg portable fan for 7.99 which is 10.99 on Amazon...same model..

Is the Stacey Solomon or her sister, they love Amazon links.

Didn’t realise it was Mumsnet. Is there anybody not flogging Amazon anymore?!

Very boring I've ordered a car tyre inflator 40% off because DS has taken mine.

no. who else will enrich Bezos then? How will we shut our high streets so that we can complain our towns are going downhill?

there is def a case for online shopping but many of us over do it and its killing the planet, jobs, and high streeta

My fil was complaining about all these shops that have gone out of business (Woolworths for example) - I asked him when he last went shopping on the high street and he said ‘well it’s cheaper online’ - so don’t complain when the shops all shut down then!

😂😂😂
I’ve tried to avoid Amazon as much as possible as the years go on, so much unnecessary shite doing the rounds. The deals are often there, not just during these Prime events, the prices of things regularly shoot up and then come back down again. If you needed something at the time the deal is on then it’s great (although not always the best price if you shop around, which these days just entails a few clicks) but if you’re scrolling looking for things to buy then you’re likely just amassing ‘stuff’, possibly for the sake of it.

And yet so many people can't see the connection between shuttered shops, & their choice to buy snacks, stationery & shower gel in bulk from Bezos's Big Bargain Basement - that shitty shop in the sky ...

I shop online lots (but primarily secondhand & vintage - clothing mostly, but also homewares etc). But I'm also lucky to live somewhere where there's a small but flourishing suburban high street. It succeeds because people choose to buy their fish, meat, newspapers, art supplies, fresh flowers etc here, not always online (or from big supermarkets). Some of it is dearer, some of it is cheaper. But I feel that I owe a degree of loyalty to my local high street & the community services it offers. Thankfully others do too.

Perhaps check your privilege. I’ve been made redundant and so can’t afford to shop the local high street. I’ve stocked up on stuff for the kids for the six week summer holiday that I usually buy in my food shop but offered a considerable saving.
