Amazon Prime

Are You An Ultimate Shopper?

Leave a Comment

 

Shopper

 

Is Amazon Prime Day like Black Friday to you?  You know how it is on Black Friday.  Many savvy shoppers – especially those who LOVE shopping – are armed with their lists, cell phones charged up, laptop ready in case of a cell phone failure, favorite beverage in hand and an alarm clock. Is this you?  You may want to plan on going to bed early the night before just to be at your very shopping-best. 

And no one had better get in your way. NO INTERRUPTIONS! The Ultimate Shopper is in her groove. Yes, shopping for some is like an Olympic sport.  First out of the chute wins!

.

This blog contains Amazon affiliate links – lots of them! ♥

When I think about it, I am kind of envious of all the excitement you will have. I am serious. Some gals, especially, tackle Prime Day as a challenge to be conquered!  I will be looking for great deals Tuesday and Wednesday  July 16 & 17, too, but I’ll bet you will be the winner!

SHOPPING TIP:     Know the calendar.  For gift buying, write birthdays and family events on a special calendar for this shopping purpose.   Reminder:  I don’t want you to get nervous or anything but Back to School is pretty much moments away and there are about 145-ish days till Thanksgiving’s  Black Friday on November 22nd!  So there is  a lot going on.  

STRATEGY: If the amount of shopping you have to do is overwhelming, only buy what you really are excited about this time and hold onto what can wait for November 22nd 145-ish days from now. It is important to get our heads around what may pay off …think of the reasons to buy before Prime Day begins.  I always look at what I am going to have to buy anyhow and try to do it on Prime Day.

Is Pet Hair around the house driving you crazy???

 

I’ve been there.  Read about the BEST pet hair vacuum I’ve ever had or just go over and get one right now!  Hint:  it’s a Shark Navigator!

I would like to personally apologize to CAT OWNERS everywhere.   I have always had dogs for pets.  My quest for a great PET HAIR vacuum burst forth from sheer frustration from the abundance of white dog fur from my Yellow Labs Blondie, Lexi, Troy and Sadie.   I could have BUILT A NEW DOG out of all that shed fur. 

 

Little did I know that the CAT PARENTS OF THE WORLD also have a big pet-hair challenge on their hands.   I assure you that the  Shark navigator upright vacuums will also be YOUR dream come true!

2 Comments

Do you love shopping Amazon?  I do!  I can browse for hours looking at all the great stuff I’d like to get. When I am doing more than window-shopping, I always look for products with 4 or 5 stars and lots of reviews. Reading first-hand accounts by real customers gives me confidence as I make decisions on what to buy. So far, that method has worked out very well for me. I haven’t had to return anything!

Amazon Shopper Quick Links Index #affiliate

It feels like summer has just started. The weather is sunny and hot and school is closed. All that being said, guess what is beginning? Back to School season, that’s what.

I am so sorry to even bring it up. I hear your groans, moms and dads, really I do. But, soon enough, the inevitable will be staring you in the face. You are going to have to shop. It just happens.

Amazon Prime Day

What I want to suggest is that we face facts and save a lot of money. Amazon’s BIG SALE – Amazon Prime Day (and a half) – is this week! The savings are nothing short of EPIC. It would be a shame to miss such an opportunity.

Amazon Prime Day? Amazon Prime members can get everything they want or need at AMAZING prices – shipped FREE – starting Monday July 16th at 3pm and ending at 11:59-ish pm Tuesday evening July 17th.

Get anything and everything at rock-bottom prices: household essentials, baby goods, home & garden, automotive, electronics, beauty & fashion, pet supplies, TV’s, cameras, appliances, computers, furniture, home décor – the list is as endless as Amazon itself and, guess what, BACK TO SCHOOL is part of it, too.

Students –well. OK. their parents– and teachers can get the best deals for the upcoming school year. How about outfitting a college student’s dorm room – that is a big back to school venture. 

Think, think, think ….what do you need?

“But this is for Amazon Prime Members only, right?”

Not in the “club” so to speak? Those who are not Prime Members can get a FREE TRIAL MEMBERSHIP for a whole 30 days.  Try Amazon Prime for FREE for 30 days without obligation and enjoy the sale with the rest of us.

Do you love saving lots of money on everyday items? Of course you do. Finding great deals – especially on things you need – is FUN! So wouldn’t it be nice to know exactly where those great deals will be so that you can be ready for them with a shopping plan? Here is a heads up for you: Amazon Prime Day is Monday! There. Now you know.

Get a shopping plan worksheet to prepare for a BIG online SALE day! #tips

Unlike Black Friday and Cyber Monday, which are centered on holiday gift-giving, Prime Day is an epic 36 hour Amazon sale extravaganza that can be absolutely anything you want it to be.

Do you need a big-ticket item and would love to get it at half-price?

Check it out on Prime Day – you just may just find it at the price you are looking for!

 

Are you wanting to stock up on household basics at super low prices?

Prime Day is absolutely the day to do it. And, they will ship it to you for FREE!

 

Is there something huge coming up like a first-time college student going off on her own or even a wedding being planned?

Events like that require LOTS of shopping. If you have your list in hand for Prime Day, you could save 30-40-50% or more. Who knows? They don’t call it an EPIC sale for nothing!

 

The way to get the MOST out of a sale day like this is to have a game plan to follow.

Here are 5 easy steps – plus my FREE PRINTABLE WORKSHEET – to help you get the very most out of the BIG day!

You need a shopping plan to find deals and save lots of money #tips

5 Step Shopping Plan To Get the Best Deals on Prime Day

  1. Open a FREE 30 Day Trial Amazon Prime Membership. This is a totally no-obligation opportunity to see if you like it. If at the end of the 30 days you do not want to pay for a Prime membership, just cancel it. Prime Day is exclusively for Amazon Prime Members so, if you do not have Prime yet, get it set up right  here today!
  2. Print out my FREE 10 page Deal-Busting Shopping List worksheet. This free printable is designed to help you to identify the items you want to buy so that you can save a TON of money on them through Amazon on Prime Day. It can come in handy at other times, too, but to get the most out of an 36 hour sale using a planning list is a must!
  3. Write yourself a note! Set a bookmark on your phone or write a big note and put it in a VERY VISIBLE location saying MONDAY July 16th 3:00 pm ET PRIME DAY starts. You do not want to forget to shop!  (Prime Day goes through Tuesday July 17th.)
  4. Start putting together your Shopping List. I gave you two lines on the printable after each type of item. You can use them for anything at all or nothing at all but I thought you might want to write down the current price so that you can compare when you shop. You may be surprised when you go to Amazon and find what you are looking for. It may already be one of the surprise early-bird deals! They are putting them out there every day.
  5. BIG Strategic Move=> save your shopping items in your Amazon shopping cart in advance. Load it up! On Prime Day, go back and see what the prices are. They probably will be even lower – much lower. You can edit the cart any way you would like to including deleting items, adding new items or changing quantities. Just be sure to purchase what you keep in the cart before Prime Day ends or the prices may go back up again.

***Now, here is a little request from me to you. I would love it if you would first, before you select items for your cart, come to Ducks ‘n a Row and click on any Amazon ad or any Amazon link at all. The Prime Day ad will do just fine. It will take you over to Amazon’s website where you can go ahead and go all over the place to do your shopping. You only have to go to Amazon from this blog once so, after you do,  please do not even give another thought. Just enjoy your shopping.

Simply put, I am an Amazon affiliate. When you click on an Amazon ad on my blog, you are actually using my affiliate link. If you do end up buying anything at all from Amazon – even if it stays in your cart for a while – I will earn a small commission and your wonderfully low prices will NOT change. You just did a nice thing for me. Thank you so much! ♥

Took Me A While But Why I Finally Got Amazon Prime

Leave a Comment

Why I Love Amazon Prime

Though I have been an Amazon affiliate and have purchased products from them for years, I never signed up for Prime. I never even considered it. I didn’t comprehend the value, that is for sure. And no way did I ever think that I could actually SAVE money by getting Amazon Prime. Oh boy, was I wrong!

What changed?
  1. We went through a period of time when the budget was tight and I literally had to figure out how to get food. I had been given a $100 Amazon gift-card for my birthday. There was my answer! I bought food from Amazon with it! I got big bags of dog food for our dogs, cleaning supplies and cooking essentials. It was so convenient, prices were good and my orders came to me – quickly! No driving. It was like having a helper working for me. That experience helped me to look at Amazon in a new way.
  2. Then my husband became very sick. We used to share household responsibilities but suddenly that was not possible. I was doing everything myself. It was imperative that I maximize my time. No more browsing the stores in-person. No time for that. That is when I decided to do a free 30 day trial of Amazon Prime. My new plan was to be buying as often as possible through Amazon so that I didn’t have to go anywhere. The free shipping is what really got me – and the speed in which they delivered. 2 days is amazing! That was the deal maker. Amazon Prime is wonderful. I purchased a full year’s membership.
Amazon Prime FREE 30 Day Trial Membership

I haven’t even scratched the surface of the benefits of Amazon Prime. If you love music, movies, technology, great gift giving options, etc. then you are going to love PRIME.
Getting Amazon Prime was like hiring an assistant to bring stuff to me for FREE!
