I just checked and the tires that yesterday were $50.98 are $58.66 each today.  The dashcam still is same price and still has 25% off offer. 

I just bought one of the dashcams.  Thanks for the heads up.

In reply to Cotton :

I like the cam.  It is really small and discrete.  There is a green light at the tip of the camera.  I have the camera mounted behind my rearview mirror but be sure to mount it in a way that "just the tip" is still visible from behind the mirror so you can confirm the light is on.

Here is a good review which also shows the free phone app that works with the cam if you want.  Aside from the app you can view all video files on computer.

Biggest downside is that since it has a glue-on attachment to the window, this cam is not easy to move from one vehicle to another unless you buy the optional $9.99 mounting kit which then gives you suction and handle bar type mounting capabilities.

I bought a $25 gift certificate and got a $5 credit for doing so. I then applied the $25 gift certificate to my account :)

Also bought some wire strippers, but that's because I needed wire strippers. They weren't on sale.

I've picked up a few things- a few cold shoulder blouses that the Dancer likes to wear and a smattering of other useful things for her work, the shop, and to outfit our cabin.

Fire TV Stick for $20. That's what I paid for the last one four years ago. I hacked it two years ago and really gave it a workout running third party apps on it. Push the little guy too hard it and it overheats, so I cracked the shell off it and it feels much better now. Time to retire it from main TV duty and really start messing with it.

I picked up a SiriusXM car receiver kit for $14.99. I might throw this in the CRX of DooM for some cheap tunes.

Damn, missed the $50 iTunes card for $40 because of having to do actual work at work. (The Dancer goes through them like candy since she constantly needs new music for the classes she teaches)

Been tempting to pick up a cheap TV (they have a 40" Roku smart TV for under $200) for the cabin, but from what I've seen there are always good deals to be had on TVs...

EDIT: Was able to go back and add the iTunes card again and get the discount... the 15 minute window to buy things at the reduced price after adding it to the card is annoying (and honestly probably means my buying less things from them during this on the whole).

Ended up going back in, used an old $50 VISA gift card to pick up a $69 Fire Tablet Kids Edition for my son, which got me a $5 Amazon credit on my account. So his 9th birthday present gets him his own tablet, and cost me $25 out of pocket all together.

When I placed my tire order on Monday night about 7pm it stated to expect the tires the following week Tues.  I realized that was not typical Prime 2 day shipping but i was okay with that given the price and Prime Day delays, etc.

Sure enough, now notified they will be here today, Weds.  (less than 2 days)

The tires left Pittsburgh, PA area on Tues 9pm (3 hours away) and with 2 additional stops they will be on my door today, Weds.

I totally zoned and missed out last night. 

Fire 10 for $99 and the Logitech G920 wheel/pedal for $199.............I ended up having to work from home last night, so when I was done, relaxing on the patio with an adult beverage was all that was on my mind and I missed the deals!

Also ended up with a 'for dummies' book on the DSLR we picked up for the non-profit last fall for half off (the Dancer questioned why I needed it when I can already take pretty good pictures/video with it, but there's a LOT I don't wholly understand about the different modes it has), some LED road flares, another party game (Disturbed Friends) to add to the pile for when we finally have another game night, and a 1/4" torque wrench.
