Prime Shoppers,

Picked up the Echo for $89 and 3 pairs of Levi's jeans (extra 30% off for prime day).

Considering the Instapot.

El D,

Instapot resulted in me throwing out the slow cooker/crock pot we had. Instapot is great.

The instapot is tempting! Didn't know they made pots that can be used as both a pressure cookers and a crock pot - so many different ways to make so many different meats ... no wonder it seems to be selling so well ...




Just picked up this Dirt Devil stick vacuum with detachable hand vacuum for C$19.99 - am hoping the hand vacuum will be helpful in doing spot clean ups to the inside of my car?

They don't seem to have as much selection in Canada as they do in the US store - otherwise may have bought much more by now

I looked... there isn't a single effing thing I want or need, specially since I spent about 4k in the last week on electronics and appliances. I was looking for an OLED monitor though.

I recommend it. It's a pretty solid way to cook food. Results in a juicy meats, and chicken comes out much better than I can do on a stove. I don't really like the way steaks come out and prefer stove, but if you have a real crappy cut of steak, it will probably taste better in the instapot vs the stove. Veggies and potatoes cook fast. In comparison to a crockpot, if you have like 4 different items in (meat, potatoes, veggies, flavoring), they tend to turn into tasting the same way with the same texture. It's disconcerting when meat, potatoes, veggies all have the same consistency and flavor. Instapot cooks it way faster, and each item retains it's own flavor and texture much better. I probably use it like 1-2 times a week now and don't use my crockpot anymore. I also do meal prep and make like 15-30 frozen meals with crockpot recipes that I used to put in the crockpot. Now I just took those frozen bags and pop them into the instapot and it comes out way better and faster. You can also cook beans, but I haven't tried it yet, I've only had it for like 6 months. Cleanup is also marginally easier as well (things don't get nearly as stuck to the pot vs a crockpot). I can't see myself ever using a crockpot again. It does rice as well, but I prefer just using my rice cooker, as I often do rice + meat + veggies, and I'm nervous to put it all in the instapot. There's a slight learning curve to it, so make sure to read the manual, as they have some tips to make things taste better, and correct settings to use for different foods.

What size do you have Ten? The 8 qt is actually less than the 6 qt, but seems too big for one or two people.

Would be interesting to look up today on Amazon the prices for the items you bought last week see what the savings would be (if any).

Was about to buy another small blue tooth speaker similar to the Cambridge Soundworks OontZ Angle:

https://www.amazon.com/Cambridge-Sou...reless+speaker

but then occurred to me that maybe I should drop an additional $50 and get the Amazon Echo?

Anyone here have the Echo? Any idea how many watts of power it has? Tried to look that up but didn't find the answer....one benefit of the Cambridge Soundworks speaker is it offers approx 30 hours of playtime (unplugged) versus 10 hours for Echo.

6qt which is plenty big for 2 people. If you get the 8qt, I think you could probably just put in less food and it'd be fine, but I'm not really sure.

Prime Day kicks off in 5 minutes. I just got back from Whole Foods where I bought two pounds of brisket (releasing my $10 Prime Day credit). This year the sale lasts for 36 hours (instead of 24 hours like the past Days).

Last year I got a tablet, but don't think I'll be looking at electronics this year.

Share your purchases itt.

I poopoo each and every one of you.

When I click on the "Shop all deals" button it leads to a page with nothing? Is the site broken.

the same is happening to me. i'm going to wait 15 minutes and see if it is fixed.

Error message here also.

not a good look for Bezos.

Yep site is busto'ed for me as well

I wonder how much it has cost them for the site to be down what, almost an hour now. I see some people have been able to order things, but still ha damn

It is incredible to me that they could possibly not be prepared for whatever was coming.

Fire stick is busto too.

scary how much society relies on the internet. could fk us real good someday.

Same deal here in POR. The site is ****ed and immensely frustrating. Good job, good effort Amazon. F- so far for this Prime Day.

EDIT: Tried on my phone and it immediately gives me an error message with images of a rotating cast of sad dogs. This is why you raised the price of Prime membership?

You can use filters to get around the landing page being down.

I'm pretty sure it's the same thing but still lol amazon.

Site completely broken (except when I got my mattress for half off yes sir!)
