Amazon Prime Day 2021- Day 1 Recap

June 22, 2021 by Laura

Alright, well Amazon Prime Day, Day 1 is behind us! In my last episode, Episode 31 What You Need To Know About Prime Day 2021 I touched on some of the items I would be looking for. Personally, I LOVE seeing and hearing about what OTHER people bought much more than thinking about what I want. I’d love you to share those with me in the comments! Below is a compilation of the items I ended up purchasing. I don’t know what it is….BUT, I’m feeling a little underwhelmed with Prime Day this year. It could be that nothing is really exciting me (or at least the discounts) or maybe I’m simply just not that much in the mood to shop.

Nevertheless, when Prime Day is here….I’m still checking it out. I just can’t stay away! That’s probably not surprising for someone who literally does a podcast about products just because that’s the only thing I want to talk about. Ha! So, here’s what I purchased yesterday on Prime Day #1:

Discovery+ Subscription– I’m most excited about this! $.99/month for 2 months, then $6.99/month after that. If you’ve been looking for a good trial offer for Discovery+ (where you can see Chip & Joanna’s new stuff and a bunch of other new shows I’m looking forward to) this is it! Just don’t forget to set a reminder on your calendar to assess whether or not you want to cancel after the 2 months of 99 cents.

Amazon Basics Classic, Home Office Computer Desk With Shelves– I’ve been needing a new desk to put in my closet. My little table from Walmart is doing the job, but I’m hoping this desk can help assist my microphone setup a little better. 🙂 I got this on a lightning deal.

Fox Eye Mask for Hannah– She is insanely into foxes, and I couldn’t help myself with this Prime Day deal. She asked me for an eye mask last week and her birthday is next month. It’ll make a great gift for her!

Silicone Ring for Men– My husband lost his rubber wedding ring golfing last week. Good thing it was just this one! 🙂

SmarTake Digital Weight Scale– I talked about this in episode 31. I need a new one!

Amersun Kids Lunch Box– Ellie needs a new one. Purple is her favorite color (BUT, there are tons of patterns to choose from)

Everyone 3-in1 Soap Lavender + Aloe – So, quick story. We love this soap over here in the Shortcut Shopper household. I just bought some via Amazon, literally two days before Prime Day. My husband told me he couldn’t believe I just didn’t wait until Prime Day to buy. I told him…it’s soap…and our soap.. it won’t go on sale for Prime Day! Then, yesterday, I saw a lightning deal for our very soap. Hahahaha. In summary, I won’t be buying soap for a while. We’re good!

InnoGear Microphone Arm Stand– I’ve been wanting one of these for a while. I also need an appropriate desk that will work with it. My table won’t hold it right now. So, we’ll see if Prime Day fixed this for me!

onlypuff Casual Loose Fit Pocket Shirt for Women– I’m taking a chance on this one. Free returns, so I feel good about the purchase!

onlypuff Casual Loose Fit Long Sleeve Pocket Shirt for Women– Ummmmmmm…I’m a total cat person now, remember??? CAN’T WAIT TO WEAR THIS OUT AND EMBARASS My HUSBAND!!! haha. I bought it in two sizes to make sure one fits! hahaha.

Foxwell NT301 OBD2 Scanner Professional Mechanic Diagnostic Code Reader– Now, this by far, is the most random and unexpected lightning deal item I purchased so far on a Prime Day. However, I’ve been secretly wanting one of these for years! It plugs into the computer of your car and tells you a diagnostic code of why your check engine light is on. I see this as an investment for the future. My husband disagrees. We’ll see!!

That’s it for now! We’ll see what other damage I get done by the end of Prime Day #2! 🙂 Wishing you a happy, responsible shopping day!
