Who's going to go shopping and buy a bunch of stuff they don't need because it's on sale?

I thought once you gave them the 99dollars every day was prime day.
I think it just went up to $119, but with my wife and daughter, still well worth it. I think today is just a big sale day - on what I don't know.

With the hardware, auto parts, jerky, office and shipping supply's, spices and others I am well ahead with Prime. The bestie burns 15 - 20 gig a month worth of tv along with it. I order 2-6 times a week, it's easy and fast.
That's why I picked it up three years ago @ $99. I order a floor jack for my zero turn mower. The shipping on that 150 lb part was about 75 bucks, Adding prime deleted that fee, so I got my money back on that purchase pretty much. Been gravy since.
Prime Day prices on items not from Amazon (i.e. Echo) are typically less than 1% that of everyday prices.
Amazon will rule the world.
And when I posted that very thing a couple of months ago, the usual suspects piled on me to tell me how OMG stupid!!! I was for daring to suggest such a ridiculous thing.

http://forums.somd.com/threads/3286...age-it-delivers-the-Postal-Service-loses-1-46You post an opinion piece from some freelance writer bolding parts you believe back up your claim, ignoring the other parts that don't. Then, imply that it's somehow Amazon's fault that they received "bulk pricing [that] doesn't meet the actual cost of the service provided". All while acting like this is what you laid out in the other thread. You didn't. In the other thread you claim Amazon is a predatory company that is underselling products to become an industry/market leader as evidenced by this post. You even claim that Amazon is an "uber monolithic predatory corporation". You claim they "violate our antitrust laws". And when asked how, you tell me to educate myself and ignore all requests to provide a modicum of proof.
Then, I point out the percentage of market shares Amazon has. None of which point to a monopoly. And nothing suggesting Amazon is running afoul of antitrust laws.
Now, when your other "Amazon is the devil" arguments don't stand up, you find this gem of an article and act like you've been crystal clear about your (ever-moving) objections to Amazon (but not the other, similar companies). You tried, and failed, to prove that incompetence in the USPS is somehow Amazon's fault. You keep harping on and on about Amazon and ignore the other companies that do the same exact thing as evidenced in the other thread when Wal-Mart was brought up, though having a larger market share in many cases and certainly receiving bulk pricing from USPS, Wal-Mart isn't the same as Amazon because "WalMart doesn't offer consumer health insurance, or financial services, or have a trucking industry that I'm aware of. So there is a measure of scale."
Bulk pricing means diddly squat. The USPS and Amazon agreed to terms for a shipping deal and no one knows what it looks like or the details of the deal so to take an article pointing out the monopoly that the USPS has for mail delivery or the subsidies given to Amazon (that they certainly don't need) and try and twist it into something it's not is not indicative of a case where you should be blaming others for lack of comprehension.
This week we ordered complete front struts to level out the Buick, 135 bucks for two monster McPhersons.. about half of what my local O'Riley store wants.
Auto parts seem to be 20 to 50% cheaper through Amazon.
i'ma change my screen name to cassandra.
FYI, Rockauto.com has great parts prices. 2 complete struts for that 97 LeSabre (people still drive those?) on RockAuto as low as $107.
Um, no.
