Amazon Prime Bargains - Chat Thread

Thanks. It looks like VAT but just doesnt add up though.

1. Its a one time thing
2. Not if you are ordering over 25 quids worth. Prime is useful for low value free delivery
3. No
4. UK has resale ( warehouse) a better range and a lot of the time better prices always worth checking multiple Amazon sites to compare prices or one of the Amazon price checker sites eg hagglezon

Just checked there, I've not used the shop function but it's there for me...

I know it's odd, hence I reached out to support. My misses has it, I don't.

Purchased that powdered milk mentioned last March. Have purchased skimmed powder before and not that nice. This one tastes good, not as good as full fat milk powder, and great to have a fall back. Plus you can stretch it much further than liquid milk. BB of 06/27 https://www.amazon.ie/Central-Lechera-Asturiana-Skimmed-Powder/dp/B00XA5FE94

both days were crap this year, I normally get Christmas presents all sorted but prices are just going up instead

Black Friday is usually good for Lego and other toys

i got a soundbar for the folks this BF that are hard of hearing to "soften" the sound from their flatscreen which cuts my ears with volume turned up. More bass is what's badly needed.

Linky? I searched high and low on Boards and I can't find this

My attic is still full of stuff Basq made me buy - he had me in Argos, Tesco and other choice outlets at all hours looking to see if I could replicate his latest bargains! My girlfriend never quite figured out why I was so keen to take her shopping at odd hours (usually just after he had posted) and how I was always picking up these massively reduced bargains. It's not like I could tell her the truth: "Grab yer coat love, Basq has posted some random bargain I don't need, but at that price, I have to get it. We'll never get a wall-climbing remote control car as cheap again."

This year's Black Friday and Cyber Monday were a near wash-out for me - I don't think a lot of places bothered that much this year. Outside of the PS5 and Meta Quest 3s, all I could see were a few small discounts dressed up to seem larger than they were, but nothing particularly special.

I did go for the Meta Quest 3S, but to me,in a lot of places discounts seemed to be on a narrower range of items than normal. The new thing seems to be advertising the discount against the Recommended Retail Price - pretty sure that used to be illegal and you had to advertise the discount against the lowest price over the previous 30 or 60 days, but they all seem to be flouting that - Amazon in particular, as much as they're normally in the top tier when it comes to value, you can see they're ignoring that rule with some of their discounts advertised. I bought something I actually needed they were advertising as having a 33% discount (and still are), but in reality it's only about a 7% discount from what it's usually sold as. (Keepa extension, but I've also been price tracking the item on CamelCamelCamel about three years as well, so know it's never been near the RRP during all that time). It was good enough to tip me towards buying, but wasn't the massive discount they were claiming.
