Both were the exact item I had on my registry and I used a gift card to buy them so I spent 80 cents total! I also did the no-rush shipping to get a Prime Pantry credit :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/amazon-prime-day-2016-the-aftermath/page/2#post-2587062 Fri, 15 Jul 2016 17:40:56 +0000 AngelicOne 2587062@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Did anyone see that Amazon sold over 215k of the Instant Pots on Prime Day? :shocked: :grin: </p> <p><a href="http://phx.corporate-ir.net/phoenix.zhtml?c=176060&#038;p=irol-newsArticle&#038;ID=2185161" rel="nofollow">http://phx.corporate-ir.net/phoenix.zhtml?c=176060&#038;p=irol-newsArticle&#038;ID=2185161</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/amazon-prime-day-2016-the-aftermath/page/2#post-2587039 Fri, 15 Jul 2016 16:18:42 +0000 DesertDreams88 2587039@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bluestriped bee: I do those Prime Pantry credits all the time, and they are actually pretty convenient, though I don't always get to use them all up. If you need to bulk up a Prime Pantry box, I usually order cereal, toilet paper, or Kleenex. Those are some pretty big items that I would be buying anyway. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/amazon-prime-day-2016-the-aftermath/page/2#post-2586293 Thu, 14 Jul 2016 12:37:57 +0000 skipra 2586293@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I totally had buyer's remorse and cancelled 2 orders and will probably return one :meh: </p> <p>I am excited about the deal I got on a Diono Radian, Pampers, and Aquaphor. I also got a cosleeper thing and a birthday present for LO1 - not sure that they were great deals oh well. </p> <p>I'm sad that I missed out on lightning deals for a reverse osmosis system and a couple other toys that LO's would have really loved for birthdays or Christmas. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/amazon-prime-day-2016-the-aftermath/page/2#post-2586254 Thu, 14 Jul 2016 11:36:52 +0000 sunny 2586254@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>One of my SKR sneakers got cancelled!!!

Towards the end of the day, that's when I saw the digital credit.</p> <p>Oh, anyone who opted into the Prime Pantry promo, I just got an email saying I have until September 30, 2016. I think I have a few of these now and I doubt I will use them all up by Sept 30. I wish the expiration date wasn't so near. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/amazon-prime-day-2016-the-aftermath/page/2#post-2586196 Thu, 14 Jul 2016 10:28:09 +0000 dagret 2586196@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bluestriped bee: i bought everything in separate orders to get the $1 digital credit. I bought: </p> <p>-$50 amazon GC (get $10 credit)<br /> -dash button .99 (get $4.99 credit with first order)<br /> -new lightning cable<br /> -animal planet grow and hatch dinos<br /> -rain boots<br /> -paw patrol watch<br /> -diapers</p> <p>I think i did OK! </p> <p>If you're in PA, the legislature passed a tax on digital downloads which is effective Aug. 1, so use those digital credits before then! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/amazon-prime-day-2016-the-aftermath/page/2#post-2586080 Thu, 14 Jul 2016 07:59:37 +0000 csross217 2586080@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wish I had ordered more! I missed all the lightning deals I was watching so just ended up getting a few boxes of diapers and some add-on items that were in my cart anyway... really wish I'd picked up a convertible car seat.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/amazon-prime-day-2016-the-aftermath/page/2#post-2586069 Thu, 14 Jul 2016 07:33:21 +0000 Mamaof2 2586069@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did no rush shipping for every order so I could get the credits and yet I got an email saying everything is being delivered today! woo-hoo!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/amazon-prime-day-2016-the-aftermath/page/2#post-2586028 Thu, 14 Jul 2016 00:30:03 +0000 My Only Sunshine 2586028@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got great deals but I'm going to be embarrassed when the UPS guy arrives! I feel like my orders will take up half his truck. We won't be home either, so our porch will be full! Diapers, an Instant Pot, and an owl backpack were my big deals. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/amazon-prime-day-2016-the-aftermath/page/2#post-2585999 Wed, 13 Jul 2016 22:11:14 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 2585999@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bought DD another rash guard and two iPlay swim diapers. She needed them and I was planning to buy them this week so the 30% off was nice. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/amazon-prime-day-2016-the-aftermath/page/2#post-2585979 Wed, 13 Jul 2016 21:21:56 +0000 Finfan 2585979@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We bought a new seal for our washing machine door.

I got each of the girls a pair of shoes for the fall (SKR and Livie &amp; Luca), a toy for DD1's birthday, a box of diapers for DD2 and a Bentgo lunchbox for each of them. I also threw in a few add-ons that I had been eyeing for next month's road trip. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/amazon-prime-day-2016-the-aftermath/page/2#post-2585733 Wed, 13 Jul 2016 15:32:34 +0000 Mrs. Cheesecake 2585733@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T.H.O.U.: The Fjallraven is not too big, the zipper opens almost all the way down and it is also made of a lightweight, water resistant material. I love that it can be worn as a backpack but there are handles on the top too if you want to hand-carry it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/amazon-prime-day-2016-the-aftermath/page/2#post-2585731 Wed, 13 Jul 2016 15:27:43 +0000 winter_wonder 2585731@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T.H.O.U.: yes! I wanted to search for specific products, it was frustrating not to be able to do this </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/amazon-prime-day-2016-the-aftermath/page/2#post-2585728 Wed, 13 Jul 2016 15:25:28 +0000 JerricaBenton 2585728@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I also ordered the instant pot, which I'm excited about. Some stuff for lo and a shirt for my friend for an event this weekend but I'm afraid it won't get here in time so I'm bummed about that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/amazon-prime-day-2016-the-aftermath/page/2#post-2585707 Wed, 13 Jul 2016 15:10:31 +0000 babypugs 2585707@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I feel so lame. I didn't get anything because I didn't find anything that I couldn't get cheaper with a 20% BBB coupon, but now I think I missed out!</p> <p>My husband says he ordered me lots of neat stuff for my birthday, so that's exciting. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/amazon-prime-day-2016-the-aftermath/page/2#post-2585702 Wed, 13 Jul 2016 14:57:20 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2585702@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jojepie: Also, whats so special about that backpack? I'm looking for something similar (throw in 2 diapers, wipes and my wallet). I grabbed a different backpack but figured I can return if I dont like it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/amazon-prime-day-2016-the-aftermath/page/2#post-2585701 Wed, 13 Jul 2016 14:56:08 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2585701@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jojepie: Yes, I think this year a few changes really helped. </p> <p>1. Not everything was "lightening" deals. Like the 30% off apparel and shoes that was open all day was a huge bonus. </p> <p>2. The search function to be able to see if there was a deal on something I had my eye on. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/amazon-prime-day-2016-the-aftermath/page/2#post-2585699 Wed, 13 Jul 2016 14:53:10 +0000 Shantuck 2585699@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I ordered:<br /> - Dohm sleep machine<br /> - Cuisineart pot holders<br /> - Cheap toys for school friend birthday gifts (remote control car, Melissa &amp; Doug cookie set, and Lightning McQueen toy)<br /> - Pampers swaddlers<br /> - Breastmilk storage bags<br /> - Diaper cream</p> <p>No regrets here. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/amazon-prime-day-2016-the-aftermath/page/2#post-2585668 Wed, 13 Jul 2016 14:20:34 +0000 DesertDreams88 2585668@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Considering I place over 100 orders a year and have spent $16000 in the past 10 years.... I find it amazing that I didn't buy anything! There was just so much to choose from and I didn't really have anything in mind. I had just recently purchased a car seat, a stroller, solids supplies, and we were given gifts of disposable diapers and wipes. Also LO is in between the "infant" and "older baby/toddler" stage. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/amazon-prime-day-2016-the-aftermath/page/2#post-2585647 Wed, 13 Jul 2016 14:00:57 +0000 Mrs. Cheesecake 2585647@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got three items that I really wanted.</p> <p>-Skip Hop Hedgehog lunch bag (bought the backpack for DD last year!)<br /> -Angel Dear Blankie, Brown Puppy (DS' favorite)<br /> -Fjallraven Kanken Daypack, Ox Red (I've always wanted one for myself!)</p> <p>Last year I think I got caught up in the excitement and bought a bunch of random things without really thinking them through! This time around it seemed a lot calmer on the website. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/amazon-prime-day-2016-the-aftermath/page/2#post-2585629 Wed, 13 Jul 2016 13:43:04 +0000 lilyann 2585629@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LulaBee: I've never been so excited about car seats :wink: I think Amazon had a promo last fall on the Diono that was around $200. They also released new fabric so the older ones are being reduced! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/amazon-prime-day-2016-the-aftermath/page/2#post-2585615 Wed, 13 Jul 2016 13:31:01 +0000 LulaBee 2585615@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lilyann: wish I had seen the Dionos!!!</p> <p>3 orders including: Instant Pot, outdoor lights, toddler croquet (possibly a horrible idea), 2 Elephant and Piggie books, wool dryer balls. Oh, and it wasn't a deal but a unicorn piñata for DD's birthday party. </p>
