Amazon Prime Day is currently running from July 16 – 17. Each year I find the sale a bit overwhelming, so I thought I would revisit my cheat sheet for how to find the best deals and discounts. Whether you’re a seasoned Prime Day shopper or new to the frenzy, I’m hoping this post can help you navigate the sale.
What is Amazon Prime Day?
The Amazon Prime Day sale is an annual event exclusively for Amazon Prime members, where they offer special discounts on a wide range of products. Think of it like a Black Friday sale, but online and in July.
Much like Black Friday, you don’t want to just wander aimlessly around the sale. While you won’t get trampled, there are literally thousands of items available and it can be easy to feel lost.
How I Prepare for Amazon Prime Day
I already have an Amazon Prime account, but if you don’t you can sign up for a 30-day free trail to check it out.
I review my Wishlist – I have a number of items I typically order and re-order from Amazon, so I can either pull them up through my designated wish list, or my ‘recent orders’ section so I can track price drops during the sale. For example, I always order my Vitamin C serum and Starbucks Nespresso pods from Amazon. You’d better believe I always keep an eye on when they drop in price so I can restock! In previous years, I’ve also had a list of larger items that I’d monitor for price drops.
To find the deals that would actually be helpful, I went through my purchases to see if any of them were included in the Prime Day sales.
However, before I get into the deals, I wanted to say THANK YOU in advance if you choose to click through any of my links for this year’s Prime Day sale. While commission links cost you nothing, they do help me earn a (very small) amount which helps pay for the annual hosting feels that keep Pocketful of Joules online.
