cheapest prices are always two weeks before any public sale that includes "Black Friday" then there are hilarious prices like twice what it was two years ago amazon.com/Elements-Desktop-External-external-storage/dp/B09VCXWPQG what exactly did amazon do with those billions in tariff refunds?

Prime Day is a great day to encourage people to use tools like CamelCamelCamel or Keepa to see if the "deals" are actually deals.
