Amazon Prime Day (Days) is/are here. It is confusing. Amazon promotes Amazon Prime Day as a singular day, however it's two days - July 16th and 17th. It's as perplexing as someone being worth hundreds of billions of dollars.

Nonetheless, the 48-hour sale is here. Do you need to be a Prime member? Yes, but you can sign up for a 30-day free trial here. Will it work for the sale? I can only assume yes and then cancel the membership after you snag your deals - take that Bezos.

This article will be updated as you (yes, YOU) and others share their experiences on our Facebook post. What deals have you found that might benefit fellow Mainers? Here's what I'm keeping my eyes on.

Anything To Help with This HOT Maine Summer

INDOOR BIKING! I'm all for the plethora of outdoor Maine biking trails. There aren't any more beautiful in the world, but when this heat become too dangerous and you don't want to miss a workout, maybe a Peloton is a good investment. They are being advertised as 30% off. Still expensive as he-(watch your mouth), but a deal is a deal.

YETI coolers are 30% off and there are several different colors to choose from. Hard to find anything more efficient in keeping your cold ones cold while out fishing all day. Dreo tower fans are 15% off. I'm more of a FAN of AC units, but sometimes a fan like this will do the trick. I scream, you scream, we all scream for a Ninja Ice Cream Maker that is 25% off. Could be fun? Is it necessary? Absolutely not. But how often do we buy things on Amazon that we NEED? My eyes are on AC units. The pre-sale has one AC unit that is 16% off. Better than nothing, but I am curious as to what will be offered the next 48 hours.

It's 2024. It's just a good enough to smarten your home up a bit. If you don't have a RING camera and have some extra cash, I definitely recommend taking advantage of the Prime sales happening these next couple days on these surreptitious devices. Here is one for 35% off, and it looks like there are several deals on these cameras to explore.

Stuff To Explore the Beautiful Maine Outdoors

Rarely will your find a new GoPro for $100 off. That is being offered now for the GoPro HERO12. What I enjoy about the GoPro is that it can be mounted several different ways while you are biking, running, hiking, snorkeling, paddleboarding, etc., and can capture those awesome outdoor moments while you actually ENJOY the moment. No fumbling with a camera and missing the moose that trots by for a couple seconds just 10 feet away.
