1. Are you playing Pokemon Go? I downloaded it on my phone and my 8 year-old thinks it’s SO COOL. He has it on his iPad too, but it’s not quite as cool because he can only use it when he’s on wifi. All I see everywhere I go is people staring at their phones looking for Pokemon. Same with kids on bikes. Just packs of them riding around holding their phones. It’s kind of a genius way to get kids off the couch and outside and moving around, so I think it’s pretty cool too.
2. Are you planning on making any purchases from the big Amazon Prime sale? I haven’t really gotten a chance to look yet this morning, but I recall last year’s sale was pretty lame. Like really lame. I am hoping for some deals on kid’s back to school supplies and shoes. My kids could use some new sneakers! Also, if there was a dirt cheap deal on a Kindle I could probably be swayed into getting it.
That’s it from here! Can’t wait to hear your answers.
i bought a dvd with our echo and plan to do the amazon visa deal. that’s it. i did sneakers at sears this weekend for #2.
I’m not playing Pokemon Go but my 22 year old daughter and all of her friends are. It’s amazing how many people are out playing. They are so easy to spot too, staring at their phone zombie like and pale from being inside playing video games all the time. This is just my observation of the people I’ve encountered. I think it’s great though because people are getting outside that otherwise wouldn’t.
Last years Prime sale sucked. Amazon said that the sale this year would be much better and so far I think it is. I bought a couple of things so far and have a few on my watch list.
Yes, we’re playing! My husband and I were just driving around last night catching Pokemon actually. The game doesn’t come with a lot of instructions, so we were like, “What does this mean? How do I do this? What does it mean when this happens? Let’s ask Google!” XD It was fun watching other groups of people go around, especially when they’re all grouped up around a gym. 🙂
I’m trying to stay away from Prime Day this year because I really don’t have the extra money atm. I keep telling myself to ignore all the deals people are talking about and think about how lame it was last year. haha 🙂
I have been eyeing the air fryer and holding for today and it looks like amazon will have on deal the one I want, but we will see the price, $10-50 is not a deal at all for the price, we will see, I hope it is a good deal I really want it :D. I saw a bread maker but $10 off was not good enough.
About Pokemon, yes, we are playing, I personally do not like games but if it gets the kids walking I am happy with that, the only problem is that since I am the one going to different places like super market / mall etc, they are hopping for me to have open the app all the time and hunting pokemons all by myself, which I do not like :S
Lol… some guy walked up to my desk yesterday and apologized that I had to work instead of playing Pokemon Go, then proceeded to invite to go with him to a meet up. I had to apologize and tell him I didn’t play because I’m on my phone too much as is and that I don’t think my husband would appreciate me going with some student from work. I’m pretty sure he was trying to hit on me… I’m flattered, really. But no.
I think we’re the only people on earth without Prime!
I ended up buying Pampers. If you subscribe and save, you end up getting today a big box for $15. I have my eye on a doll house, but not sure if it will make financial sense.
As I always say with these things, watch the access the app has to your phone. Though they say “we didn’t know” (oh come on guys you knew) and “we would never take that information” (uh, heard that one before) and “we are working on a fix” (yeah but all those MILLIONS of folks that already downloaded the app that you’ve had access to for a week….)…again, just watch and make sure you turn off them having access to your account etc. They still need access to certain things to have you play the game so I’m just staying away from it.
There are some deals (the Insta Pot is a great deal, but don’t need one) that are cool, just nothing I need right now. Plus I might already own most of the cookbooks they have on sale LOL
Had no idea about Pokemon Go, but now I think I’ll be downloading. Gee thanks…LOL
