Amazon deals.

[littlefirtree]

Anyone else think Amazon hasn't really had any great deals this year? The lightening deals haven't been half as good this year.

Totally agree, I gave up even looking.

They were rubbish this year and strangely hard to navigate. I too have up looking.

*gave. Wish we could edit.

same, been on Lightning Deals all of this week for any inspiration and totally disappointing. It's like catalogue shopping mostly. Yes, navigation is very poor which is totally surprising, Amazon for me tick most other boxes.

Yes exactly what's happened to the layout! Just a load of tat they want shifting. Last year they reduced stuff by more than half the original price on some items - beautiful books for children, Melissa and Doug etc. The lightening deals were exciting and you felt like you had a real bargain.

*lightning!!

I haven't seen many great deal either. But then I'm not sure whether they don't seem good because there are no deals on things I want!!

I do think things have gone a bit downhill in general. I feel like there is an increasing amount of tat and it's difficult to sift through to find the decent stuff. Even the search seems a bit unreliable lately - type a specific item or title and it will be two or three places down the results! And you can't "sort by price" because there are hundreds of thousands of things for £0.01!

That said, I do love that I can (eventually) find anything I want and that thanks to Prime I can often have it at my door in under 12 hours!

Agreed, it seems to have been all the random they've not been able to sell the rest of the year and not as good reductions as before.

It's been driving me potty that I sift through hundreds of items, see something interesting, click to look at it, click to go back and it returns me back to the top of the list so I have to go aaaaallllllll the way back through to get back the my original position.

Yes Arrow bloody frustrating!

Totally agree! Last year I bought loads on lightening deals. Even things I hadn't thought of but made good extras like le creuset bottle openers to go with FIL's wine gift for overhaul price. Haven't been tempted once this year so gave up looking.
