How to Shop the Best Deals on Amazon Prime Day
Looking for the best tips for prepping and shopping Amazon Prime Day sales? Here are my best tips and tricks for getting the best Prime Day deals!
Sign up for Amazon’s newsletter
If you’re already a Prime member and have opted in to receive emails, then be on the lookout for their Prime Insider newsletter in your inbox. You’ll automatically receive details on Prime member benefits, plus updates on products deals and events.
Check the Prime Day landing page
Amazon has a dedicated Prime Day landing page that features the best Prime Day deals including Early Deals, exclusive offers, most-loved finds, everyday essentials, top products, and more!
Get deal alerts for personalized shopping recommendations
Prime members can automatically subscribe to receive deal alert notifications for searches and recently viewed items.
Add your items to cart to track the price
One of my favorite ways to stay updated on an item’s price is to add it to my cart. Amazon automatically shows you price drops and increases for any item in your cart so you can shop the lowest price possible for the best deal.
Use CamelCamelCamel to help you track pricing
Aside from using your cart to check for pricing changes, CamelCamelCamel is a great shopping hack to help you find the lowest price on any Amazon product. They even have a Google Chrome extension too, the Camelizer!
Alexa Ask Alexa to send you deal notifications
