Geek Daily Deals Jul. 16, 2018: Prime Day Deals Have Begun! Huge Savings on Gadgets!

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Geek Daily Deals – Today’s that special day on Amazon where they really kick the deals up (or down) a notch! Check out what’s already on sale!

First, make sure you’re a Amazon Prime member, or sign up today. Yeah, that’s how they lock you in, but the value is real. What you’ll save on shipping each year pays for the membership, and then the music, video, and other deals are the icing on the cake (which is not a lie). The proper Prime Day deals will start at 3pm EST (Noon, PST), but Amazon is already deeply discounting many of their own products. For example:

Echo Dot (2nd Generation) – Smart speaker with Alexa – Black:

We bought one of these last October, and it cost 50% more, dagnabbit!

Get one for $30 today!

Fire HD 8 Tablet with Alexa, 8″ HD Display, 16 GB, Black:

Get one for $50 today!

Fire HD 8 Kids Edition Tablet, 8″ HD Display, 32 GB, Blue Kid-Proof Case:

Get the kids edition, with the special case, loads of kid-friendly apps and games, and a NO-QUESTIONS-ASKED replacement warranty. Which is amazing!

Get one for $90 today!

All Amazon Dash Buttons – Buy for $1 Each, Get $5 Back on the First Purchase:

This may be the craziest deal possible. You will actually earn $4 for every Dash button you buy and use. Pay just $1 for the button, and get a $5 credit the first time you use it.
