Prime Day – Lists of Stuff on Sale

This was my first year to pay attention to Prime Day, so I didn’t realize how many deals they’d have. Luckily, this sous vide cooker was on an early page of deals before I pooped out. I’ve had my eye on it since … Amazon’s Cyber Monday, actually. 🙂

Amazon’s Prime Day Starts July 10
