Actually, it starts late on July 10th here in the U.S. I think it's 10:00pm Eastern time, but Google to check. It goes on for 30 hours. Although I've been a Prime member for years, I never paid attention to Prime Day until now. As far as I can tell from Googling, you just have to check their website regularly to click on "lightning deals" and other deals. They offer something new on sale every 5 minutes. I am putting things I am interested in into my cart, hoping they might email me when it goes on sale (or maybe the sale price will appear in the cart if I check it). I don't want to get caught up in buying stuff I didn't know I needed until it went on sale.

You're right about the daughter cooking. What I'm thinking is that I could make a meal in my Instant Pot, place a freezer bag inside a similarly shaped container and freeze the meal in that, then she could place the freezer bag in warm water until she can slide the meal into her Instant Pot and thaw it and warm it up there. At least she would get a couple of good dinners a week at home that way. It's going to take some time for her to learn how to cook. Starting with how to chop an onion. My lovely dd is a wonderful person who is doing well at her first job, but learning how to cook had to take a back seat growing up because she needed so much extra time for school work (learning disabilities).
