    I tried looking for anything I needed, but it seemed like anything I'd like to buy was only around $5-$10 off the normal price or some cornball knock-off product similar to it was on sale. The other thing I saw was stuff being marked down, but still higher than what it had sold for sometime during the year. Meh.

    Nothing, hopefully. I may move my main tv into my bedroom and get a 65"+ to put in the living/family room, but I can get a tv on sale throughout the year and most of the Black Friday sales are going to be regular prices next year probably, so I can wait. Outside of that, I really don't think I want much of anything. I thought about getting an induction stove for my kitchen, a new fridge, and a new dishwasher, but I may just wait on all that. I decided to "retire" back in February and quit my job, so I'm finding it difficult to spend money. lol.

    the alexa stuff has made me addicted to smart home. I even tell Alexa to turn on the fan.
    I got the lights, tv, speaker, fan all connected.

    why not a vacuum cleaner?

    I'm trying my best to not give away any more of my life to Google and Alexa. :D I don't have Alexa anything (yet) and no plans on getting anything. I also don't need a vacuum. I have a Shark that I'm not going to replace until it croaks and I think the robot vacuums are just not worth it, especially since I'm home all day anyway. I've got nothing better to do, so ... get up and vacuum.

    I'll probably wait until Black Friday sales to buy anything, which may be kind of lame this year from what I understand, but we'll see.

    If there is a smoking hot deal on a 55" OLED then I might jump. But I'd prefer to buy it from Costco, because of their superior warranties.

    Also might bite on a good deal for a sub-$150 Chromebook.

    Just added a 6qt dutch oven to the basket for $35. Thought it was funny that only one of the colors was at the good price. Its like Prime day is just amazon getting rid of stuff they dont want in the warehouse no more.

    Other than a few auto-related items, I think I get more excited for the "Oops, We Baked Too Much" section at the grocery store than what Amazon is offering up this year. Meh to below-Meh level, IMO.

    I got a Fire 4K streaming stick for $5.

    On slickdeals, tons of people jumped on that. Not sure if the deal still works. But find the one that's on sale for $30 and use code 4KFIRETV at checkout. If you have previously used that code then it won't work.

    Damn, missed it! Not in a Fire ecosystem at my house but $5 fires would have gotten one on every TV.

    I did get an Air Fryer to fry stuff with air.

    Amazon price matched Buy Dig, and they have the Sony 55" A8H for $1,300. From my [admittedly] limited research, I think this it is a pretty good deal.

    I agree with you on Costco, that was my preference as well, but they don't see the equivalent of this model, at least I couldn't find it.

    Funny you mention this, as I just ordered it like 5 minutes ago. There's an additional 10% back if purchased with an Amazon Visa (as opposed to the standard 5% back).

    The down side is this TV doesn't seem to be fully prepared to take off full advantage of next gen gaming systems, but that is not a concern for me.
