A notification, a commercial, even a billboard — whichever way you do, you somehow find out about the long-awaited Amazon Prime Day.
Despite happening multiple times in the calendar year, Amazon Prime Day(s) feels like a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to get your hands on deals that rival those of Black Friday. Whether it be tech, beauty, home, or a lightning deal — you will find something that you “need” — or spend hours scrolling to find something that you want.
Opening the website always feels off, because the structure of Amazon looks like a cheap scammy market. If it didn’t hold up such a popular reputation, no one would shop there without hesitation entering their credit card number.
On Prime Day, you are greeted with a million different products. Oh, which ones to choose? You start to add stuff to your cart. Not too much where it’s flamboyant over consumerism, but just enough to do a tasteful haul for your mom on Facetime.
Ooh! There’s that new shampoo you have been — wait! There’s a replacement for your — but no! It’s a lifesize cut out of your favorite celebrity! So many options, so many possibilities.
Your brow starts to sweat, your fingers perspire on your keyboard as you scroll and scroll and scroll. Finally, you come to a conclusion on what you want, before you confidently click checkout.
But alas, despite the “great discounts,” your cart is over $300. You take a deep breath. Time to drain most of your checking account and wait for your beloved brown package.
