Its not as good as a proper supermarket delivery as AFAIK its just normal delivery drivers so nothing is refrigerated.  They frequently mix the fridge and freezer products in the same paper bags which is frustrating when you're trying to prioritise the frozen first.  We've had a few items we were 100% sure were still frozen.

The good thing about it is its available on much shorter notice than any of the supermarkets themselves.  We've had to rely on it a lot because getting delivery slots from the main supermarkets is a pain.

I'm not sure I could spend £50 on shopping at Morrisons  :-\

Amazon Warehouse in UK, Germany and France has 30% off items over prime days.

Especially as they only carry a limited selection of products to begin with.

Found ubiquiti AC LR for £56.50 after 30% Amazon warehouse discount: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B016K5A06C/

Doesn't seem a bad price for a perfectly decent access point if you use ubiquiti.

Did anyone purchase anything good?

I bought some Hive GU10 bulbs that I'd been waiting until they were on offer.  For some obscure reason they only discounted the single bulbs and not the multipacks for the GU10s, but it wasnt too bad as I was only needing 4 to finish off everything downstairs... except the main lounge light that has 6xGU9 leds so will have to wait until Hive to bring out a wall switch for that.  The other item on my 'wait until prime day' list was another wireless phone charger.  There wasnt a deals on the make I'd been wanting, but picked up a similar Anker version that was a good price.   I've had Anker things in the past which have been very good so looking forward to that arriving today. :) 

Also got a couple of impulse buys which were ~half price or less - a Galaxy Smart Tag and a wallet Tile.    Will be interesting to see comparison between the 2 makes.    Although the Tiles were slightly cheaper, I wanted the Galaxy Tag for my keys as it looked more key fobbish, but the winning feature was the multi-use button as remote smart control. I should be able to hook this up to Alexa to say set up turn on/off lights and then a long press for something else such as turn on heating.   
I think the wallet Tile is self explanatory, just a basic credit card size tag that fits in your purse/wallet.  That's already arrived and although I've not played with it yet, I am impressed with how slim it is.   Was originally going to get a tag for my handbag, but after seeing Tile did a credit card version thought that would be better as its usually my purse that I end up looking for :D

I purchased a new Philips electric razor (I know boring) as my old one is a bit past it at over 12 years old and in need of new cutters and batteries (not really replaceable).  Very good price only issue was that on arrival in sealed manufacturers packaging it would not turn on or charge. Tested the PSU but that was OK and would charge my old Philips one! Now waiting on a replacement to be delivered today before I send back the first one. Amazon price was £20 cheaper that Argos. So only a good deal if the second one works!

It took Amazon nearly two days to convince me, but they finally bundled the echo dot 4th gen and firestick 4k for £42.

Prior to this they were reduced to £26 and £35 respectively, saw lots of peeps on hotukdeals screaming
