You’d have to live under a pretty huge rock to not know about Amazon. It’s crazy to think about what we used to use Amazon for. It was mainly an online bookstore. Now you can virtually buy anything on it’s platform. (Ok, you can’t buy a car, but you can research cars and even buy car accessories and parts….

100 Million Prime Users
It’s a very fascinating business model when you think about it. They have made it so convenient to purchase from them, that they have become the go-to for many American households. In fact, about 100 million, yes 100 million people find Amazon so convenient that they pay for a yearly membership. To put this into perspective, according to the Census Bureau, there are close to 119 million households in the US. So, the majority of households in America have one of these Prime Memberships.
Prime Day. What You Need to Know.
Even with the monopoly and loyalty Amazon has from it’s clientele, they offer a much-anticipated “Prime Day” each year. For 48 hours (2 FULL days this year), thousands of products are marked down and savings are given only to Prime members. This year there has been a lot of talk about prices being better than Black Friday. I am ALL for a good bargain. In fact, I get giddy just thinking about scoring a good deal so this sale has me curious. You too?
One caveat about this sale is that the deals are exclusive to Amazon Prime members only. This might be a great time to sign up for a FREE Trial of an Amazon Prime membership.
(Tip: Want to know my favorite perk of membership? Amazon Music! It’s like Pandora without any ads and all of your favorite songs. We listen to it constantly: Trolls Soundtrack, Aladdin, Hillsong Kids Worship, Tom Petty…mommy has been known to listen to Taylor Swift and belt out a few tunes on the rare occasion she is in the car by herslf. )

Reader Requests for Prime Day
Tablet/Computer/Tech
- Expect to see some great deals on Kindles. Most sources say the deals will be better than Black Friday prices since this is an Amazon brand. I am intrigued by this one that has more storage and is WATERPROOF?! (How great for beach vacations and pool days!)
- Apple Macbooks rarely go on sale. If you’ve been looking, this one is discounted!
- If you have been wanting a video doorbell system, the Ring Wi-Fi Enabled Video Doorbell is on sale. (This one comes with a FREE Echo Dot! How Cool!)
- If you have a TV fan in your house, a Fire TV Stick with Alexa Voice Remote might be just the thing for them! (For Prime Day, you get 79% off PLUS two FREE months of HBO.) This one is 63% off at just $14.99. It would make an amazing stocking stuffer!
Cordless Vacuum
- The Dyson Stick Vacuum is VERY popular and at least one version is expected to be included again this year in the sale. I seem to have a thing for vacuums…maybe because I spend so.much.time.with mine.
- A cordless vacuum would definitely be something I would be intrigued by if I hadn’t recently purchased a robot vacuum this past fall. (I was pregnant with our 3rd, homeschooling, and blogging-something had to give and vacuuming volunteered.) [Wink]
- This is a brand I hadn’t heard about before, but is one of the less expensive options I found with some decent reviews. Definitely one to check out!
Small Sofa
- If you are in the market for a new sofa, here is one that would be great in a playroom or in an office (and also converts to a bed). I like the wooden legs on it!
- If you have a slightly bigger budget, this one is beautiful and is already 49% off!
Small Kitchen Appliances
- Amazon sold 300,000 Instant Pots last year on Prime Day, so there is sure to be a great price on this popular small kitchen appliance.
- One reader wanted me to be on the lookout for this! Here’s one to keep an eye on to see what it’s price might be.
- This Coravin system I am watching is for my wine-lover-reader. 🙂
Morgan’s Prime Day Deals for Home
- Need a new set of towels? These are a good price!
- With the popularity of weighted blankets, I am thinking we will see some deals on these.
- This is a pretty lamp that would look great on your bedside table or desk.
Morgan’s Prime Day Deals for Babies & Kids
- At $20, this bag looks great! It has the space and compartments you need for all.the.things. I love that it is waterproof and converts to a backpack, crossbody, and bag.
- This is a handy accessory to add to your stroller, especially at this price!
- This Brain Flakes 500 piece set looks fun for multiple ages!
- My daughter has several of these sets over the years. They are great for car rides!
- My son LOVES these kits! Great buy for stocking stuffers! I will probably snag one too! (They are no-mess and great for the car or a restaurant!)
- At 70% off, this would be a great Christmas present to stash away! Harry Potter 8-film Blue-ray Collection only $27.49 shipped! (reg $99.98)
Morgan’s Prime Day Fun Deal Finds
- There are always great deals on Cricuts to be had on Prime Day. Just because I have made all my signs with this “cheater method” doesn’t mean I wouldn’t be opposed to trying out one of these handy machines! Do you have one? Let me know how you like it!
