Save the Date: Tuesday July 12 is Amazon Prime Day

I have no advance notice of what will be offered, so it’s a YMMV as usual, but there might be some good deals offered on Tuesday July 12 in 2016, it is the annual Amazon Prime Day. I am planning to cover as much of the day as possible, but I can’t do it 24×7, I have to sleep and eat and things of that nature 🙂

The offers will only available to Prime members, but if you are not a Prime member and want to join the party, you can do so by starting a 30-Day Prime Free Trial. If you don’t like the membership, just cancel it before the 30 days are over and you won’t be charged. TIP: start the free trial early so you can get set-up and be ready to go on Prime Day!
