Every shopper’s favorite holiday is officially upon us. Amazon announced last week that Amazon Prime Day, the annual deals event exclusively for Prime members, will be held on June 21 and 22 for a full 48 hours. And there’s already dozens of early-bird deals.
The savings event has become one of the most anticipated deals events of the year (move over, Black Friday) in which the enormous e-commerce site offers discounts on everything from homeware and garden furniture, to tech and fashion. Their most exciting deals are often for Amazon’s own products. If you haven’t been indoctrinated into the Alexa cult yet, then Prime Day is the day to do it. There’s already early-bird mega-deals on a slew of Alexa-controlled Amazon devices, such as the Echo Dot (the most popular Prime Day purchase globally last year), flat-screen TVs and the Echo Show, with dozens more products sure to go on sale at the end of the month. Plus, with a bunch of tech devices still discounted from their Memorial Daysale, the stacked-on savings won’t be something you’ll want to miss.
Of course, you have to be a Prime member to take part in the festivities. But thankfully, there’s currently a 30-day free trial for those who sign up to be a member. This comes with benefits including access to thousands of titles on Prime Video, free books via Prime Reading, free music streaming through Amazon Music and discounts on Audible.
Amazon will be continuing to announce early-bird deals throughout the month so Prime members can prepare for the big day. We’ll be updating this post with deals as they’re announced.
