Amazon Prime Day is Here
Amazon Prime Day’s 30 hours of deals officially starts now! This event has led other retailers to have “Black Friday in July,” and the Amazon deals are said to rival Black Friday prices. According to Amazon, last year 2 million toys, 1 million pairs of shoes, and 90,000 TVs were purchased on Amazon Prime Day alone! Those numbers are insane, and the company promises good deals again this year.
So, if you are in the market for something in particular, read on to find out how to track down the best prices and save money! (Psst…Rumor has it there will be great deals on TV’s and they will quickly sell out. Don’t rush though; It definitely pays to shop around. See #4)
Mom’s Priority’s Ways to Save
- Join Amazon Prime – The best deals are reserved for Amazon Prime members, so start a 30 day free trial today. Try Amazon Prime 30-Day Free Trial
It is completely possible to join it today and cancel today, just to take advantage of all of the Prime Day sales. But, I recommend keeping Amazon Prime for many reasons, including 2 day FREE shipping, streaming video and music, and deals!
- Install the Amazon Shopping Assistant- You can receive product and price comparisons as you shop online with this program from Amazon. I am wary of it, just because I don’t want Amazon looking at everything I buy online from other sites, but it could be a useful tool to help save money long term.
- Download the Amazon app and get a $10 credit – Once you download the app, you can set alerts and view deals 24 hours before they are live.
- Check camelcamelcamel.com – Know that you’re getting a good deal by checking this website that tracks and compares Amazon prices. It’s so helpful and prevents buyer’s remorse!
- Check Today’s Deals – On Amazon’s homepage, find out today’s deals and set alerts to “watch this deal” so you don’t miss anything!
- Compare Amazon Credit Cards – The Amazon Prime Store Card give 5% back to Prime members, and for a few deals, up to 15% additional off on Amazon Prime Day! The Amazon Visa card gives you 3% back on all Amazon purchases, and 5% back for Amazon Prime members.
- Choose the No-Rush Shipping Discount – Amazon, as well as Walmart, are testing out an instant discount if you are willing to wait a few extra days. For example, the other day I ordered items from Walmart I didn’t need urgently. I just needed it in the next week or so. I was able to choose to delay my shipment, and save an additional 3%! The great news is that the majority of the Walmart items came anyways on the 2nd day; I still saved 3%. That may not always be possible, but when I can wait, I can save!
It is completely possible to join it today and cancel today, just to take advantage of all of the Prime Day sales. But, I recommend keeping Amazon Prime for many reasons, including 2 day FREE shipping, streaming video and music, and deals!
