By wary if you shop during Prime days, both on and off Amazon itself.
"Deals" vary all over the map. Much of it just junk dolled up in the ads to loo like bargains. Others will have one price part of the day that looks like a great deal, but if you wait until later the price bounces back up but with a 50% off coupon code.
Example item: $299 but special Prime Days price $239. Later, price bounds back up to $299 but with a 50% off offer code, so only $150. I have now seen it do this twice in 2 days.

More: an item that I went ahead and bought was $34 yesterday. Today it is $44!
I guess that people who use price monitoring apps and browser add-ins really might have a leg up on the rest of us after all. Not that I want any more phone apps or trust 3rd party browser add-ins.

One of the things that I recharge from captured solar power is battery-powered undercabinet lights.
I've had 3 of these for a while and they come in various styles but this is one of the more common ones now:
These generally sell in pairs, at about $10 to $15 US but sometimes they go on sale too or have coupon codes and such. Mine lack the "Daytime" mode, but the new pair I bought have all four modes.
These come with metal plates if the counter or surface you want to stick them to isn't ferrous metal. These plates come with double-sided tape, have a hole in the middle, and come with screws so you could screw them down. The magnets in these lights makes it easy to take them down to recharge. All 4 that I have now came with extra/spare plates as well.
I have found them so useful that these new ones are going (a.) low on the refrigerator front (door) so walking into the kitchen gives me night light there, and (b.) high on the bathroom lights above the mirror for a night light in there..

Another pair of lightweight shorts in a khaki-brown. I haven't bought many Summer clothes in years and this year I'm spending a lot more time out in the heat.

Books, I bought a couple more ebooks. Since I have my daughter’s bread machine now, I discovered that there are quite a few bread recipe books for the Zojirushi bread machine, and even a free one, as well as quite a few on the Kindle Unlimited list.
Every week, I go through the authors that I follow on Amazon Kindle, and check to see if any new books are on sale from those authors, and when i find one on sale that i don’t have, then I get it while it is on sale.

I purchased another powerstation, a new product with a 1008 Wh battery. Should arrive tomorrow.
- Suggested retail price is $639. I seriously doubt they expect to really sell at that price.
- I just saw it advertised by the manufacturer at "Early Bird Pricing" of $419.
- On Amazon it is now selling for $379 with free shipping.
- But a few days back I paid $319 before tax with free shipping from Amazon.
