I so agree. I tend to ignore Prime Day for the most part. I shop when I need something, not when I'm told to. I find it interesting that many other stores are offering their own "discounts" during the event so as to compete. As you said, though, most are BS. Discounting an inflated price is not a sale, folks. Albertson's meat sales, buy 1 get 2 free (reg. price $12.99 a pound ground beef for one). are a prime example and they've been getting away with that for decades.

Yes, exactly. So much of it is a plan to just drum up PR or get rid of excess stock. Just a real shit "event."
