Are there actually any deals worth getting on Prime Day?

What the title says. Every year I hear everyone at work go buzzing about Prime Day, and then when I'd go check what items were on sale they were mostly cheap gaff and a bunch of minimally discounted tech products. Am I missing something that's optimal to get around this time of year?

I grabbed an Intel Arc 750a & a Jackery power station + a 100w portable solar panel. My wife & I have been looking at both of those for a while.

They're really bad at showing you the best deals on the site, search for news articles to find the good stuff.

In previous years I've got my Roomba, my drone, a good toothbrush. a kindle fire, ring cameras and a cordless vacuum.

All things I wanted and was keeping an eye on so I spotted when the prices dropped.

I bought a puzzle box which had a good deal. But that was blind luck. That is I think the first time something I wanted was on sale.

Amazon Fresh (I think you need a Prime membership to access this) is having a lot of buy one get one free items, and lots of coupons (25 to 35% off) on certain items. If you order $100 there's a 20% off code (FRESHSAVE20).

Also Starz subscriptions are 2 months for 99 cents (a good deal for a non pirate).

Other online retailers are probably running sales to compete with Amazon so I would check other sites.
