Amazon Prime Day deals I'm currently into

The Amazon sale starting July 11th,
has discounts on featured products,
and there is a
point-up campaign if you register.

💫 At the end,
I added an update on how many points I earned
after my purchases this time.

I usually just buy things without really knowing much,
but this time I asked Gemini what the best deals were!

Below is what Gemini told me.

Starting tomorrow, Friday, July 11, 2025, at midnight,
Amazon's "Prime Day" will officially begin.
Following the early sale already underway,
popular items will appear at even better prices.
I will explain the details of the sale,

I was able to click and enter
the point-up campaign right away.

What I want to buy in this sale
isn't any large appliances,
but I'd like a small Makita fan I can use outdoors.
When I want a little breeze in the shade outside,
I thought it would be nice to have a fan.

It's small and easy to use,
so I'm specifically choosing this size.
It has a hook,
so you can hang it somewhere to use it.
The size is under 30cm,
and when you attach the Makita battery,
the back gets a little bulky. lol

Classy colored Makita fan

This is the standard Makita-colored fan.
It's cheaper just because the color is different,
so I'm going to buy this one.

What else should I buy?
For now, the sparkling water is a good deal too...

The scent of the hops
can even be perceived as something like muscat or lychee,
and it's delicious on its own.
It's not sweet, so I recommend it.

Also,
I'll go ahead and buy some resin supplies
that my child is really into.
I always forget to buy these.

💫💫💫💫💫💫💫

This is how I'm
enjoying the Amazon sale!

By asking Gemini this time,
everything that was unclear about what was a good deal
when I was shopping before
has been cleared up.

Have a great day!

Postscript: A story about how many points I earned

I went ahead and made some purchases.
Buying through a friend's Amazon link
is the latest trend.

It's nice that we can both be happy about the purchase.

Separately from that,
when I checked how much my points had increased after the purchase,
I got about 10% back in points.
I also have my D-Points linked to Amazon,
which gave me another 1% back.

I love points, so I've become
hooked on shopping during this season.

Happy news


It was added to a magazine!
Thank you very much.
When you add it to a magazine,
I feel glad that I wrote the article,
and I feel both relieved and happy at the same time!
