Not Broke Yet? Amazon's "Prime Day" Can Fix That

If you've ever felt like there aren't enough reasons to shop, don't worry — Amazon is offering some insane deals you won't want to miss. Promising more savings than Black Friday, Prime Day is offering Amazon Prime members a multitude of incentives and deals all day. Although our wallets really won't benefit from this new holiday, whoever decided to do a massive Amazon sale in the middle of summer was a genius. Like Christmas in July, really! It's been awhile since there was a compulsory gift-buying holiday, and the best Amazon Prime Day deals will go fast.

If you don't already have Amazon Prime, now might be a good day to get it. Only Prime members are eligible for today's deals, and some of these savings are unheard of. Not only do they offer two-day free shipping (which is a standard Prime feature any day of the year), but lightening deals are being added all day. It's also worth pointing out that you can get a free one-month trial of Prime by signing up, so there's really absolutely no reason not to take advantage of this.

But I understand if you believe capitalism is the downfall of modern society, and that corporate culture is pushing us into a buy-buy-buy mentality that is bad for your soul. I tend to agree, most of the time. But not today. Because today I can finally replace my Chromebook. For only $199.

Curious about what other insane deals you can get on this completely frivolous and made up holiday? Check these out.
