Amazon Prime Day, Shopping the Sale

MOBILE, Ala. (WALA) -It’s seen as the biggest sale day of the year: Amazon Prime Day. Like any good idea, it starts with a plan. Thousands of sizzling deals are up for grabs.

If you want to take advantage, research the products you’re interested in and what they’d normally cost. Using price tracking tools can be helpful too — websites like CamelCamelCamel can help monitor prices. The Amazon website also has a tracker shoppers can enable to be notified when there’s a savings on a desired item. Speaking of desire, create a wish list — that way you can just move items to your cart when you notice what you’re looking for is on sale.

Don’t sleep on those lightning deals! They can sell out fast. These are the limited short-time offers that offer deep discounts and typically last two to six hours. Keep in mind the Amazon products will have the steepest discounts, so look for their devices and services first. Whatever you do, always take a second look. Make sure you’re getting the bargain you think you are; some sellers might artificially inflate the price before the sale.

Amazon Prime Day isn’t just for physical products — you can get free games too. Subscribers will have 48 hours to claim three free games — all you need is your log-in: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge, Alex Kidd, and Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic.
