Get an Amazon Echo Dot for $4.99 after a $15 baby registry purchase (which could be ANYTHING, not necessarily baby-related)

Create a Baby Registry and make a first-time purchase from your Baby Registry of $15.00 or more by 8/22/19 and you can purchase an Amazon Echo Dot 3rd generation for only $4.99.

Create a Baby Registry and make a purchase (or have a gifter make a purchase) of at least $15.00 from your baby registry between 8/15/19 and 8/22/19. Offer is valid only for the first purchase of at least $15.00 from your registry. Purchase must be processed between 8/15/19 and 8/22/19. Purchases made after the initial $15.00 purchase are not eligible for this offer.  Remember that any item on Amazon can be added to your baby registry so pretty much any $15 Amazon purchase qualifies, as long as you put it in your baby registry first.  After your eligible purchase has been processed, you'll get an email that your Echo Dot discount can now be redeemed and you will be able to buy a Amazon Echo Dot 3rd generation for only $4.99 (normally $29.99).

The Best Amazon Deals on School Supplies

Here's a list of the best school supply deals that Amazon has to offer, as of today, 7/31/19.

Can you do better on the cost of school supplies at Staples and Office Depot?  On some items, absolutely, but you need to wait for the sale and get in the car.  For some of you busy Moms & Dads, the trade-off between the time spent loading your kids in the car, going through the store circular, matching it up to your list, cruising up and down the aisles looking for the sale items (and hoping they are still in stock), added to the cost of gas, is just not worth it if you can pick up most of what you need sitting in your sweats in front of your laptop in your air-conditioned living room.  The advantage of time and convenience over money is completely a personal choice.

I can tell you that the majority of the deals that I have researched here are the very best that Amazon has to offer.  There are still quite a few deals that routinely come up every year that haven't reared their heads yet, i.e. the under-$3.00 Crayola items are not out yet.
