Guess what is almost here? Amazon Prime Day! Prime Day is a huge shopping event on Amazon with tons of products at discounted prices. It started in 2015 to celebrate Amazon’s 20th anniversary and has grown to be a HUGE event. Whether you have been eying a bigger ticket item or just need to restock on some home supplies, this is a great sale! This will also be a great time to get super deals on magazine subscriptions and right now, you can score 4 months of Amazon Music Unlimited for 99 cents (usually 7.99 a month) as part of an early Prime Day special. This is awesome for those of you with Alexa/Echo devices. I wanted to share the deets for all the other Amazon lovers like me, who plan to shop the sale.
DETAILS
Sale starts Monday, July 15 (3 am EST) and runs thorugh Tuesday, July 16 at 11:59 pm PDT. Mark your calendars or set a reminder because this sale only lasts 48 hours and items will go fast. In past years, there were big discounts on iPads, Echo products, video games, TV’s, and more. Also, don’t forget to think about back to school supplies, college/dorm necessities, and gifts when making your list. There will also be lightning deal specials throughout the day. There are some great buys through the lightning deals, but those only last a few hours, so if you see something you want, don’t procrastinate.
PRIME MEMBERSHIP
Prime Day deals are available to Amazon Prime members only, with the exception of a few items. If you have not had a Prime membership before, you can sign up for a free 30-day trial and if you decide not to keep it, you may cancel before your trial ends to avoid being charged a subscription fee. You can signup for a Prime Trial Membership here.

Be sure to check these often during the sale because these will change throughout the day.

SALE DAY
Once the sale starts, you can check back here for my favorite finds. I will also be sharing things throughout the sale on my instastories. Disclosure, I am an Amazon Affiliate and anytime you purchase an item through one of my links, I do receive a small commission. I do not post items to simply earn commissions. Anytime, I share any “Amazon favorites”, I have actually used those items and all opinions are my own. If I come across something I do not own but am interested in, I will make that clear by stating it’s something on my wish list or something I would like to try. You can rest assured, I won’t just post products to earn a few bucks. I only recommend things that I have and like or things I am interested in myself. Don’t forget to check back here on Monday for my shopping guide!
- Amazon is also offering 30% off School Essentials, 30% off College Gear and 30% off Household Essentials
DEALS (Any items listed as lightning deals will expire, so if you do not see the Prime Day price in the listing, that deal has expired.)
