    Amazon’s annual Prime Day deals are happening this month. They will begin at 3 pm EST on Monday, July 16th and run through Tuesday, July 17th. We anticipate a number of amazing deals and we will share them on our Prime Day Deals page, once they are posted.

    This is basically Christmas in July for Amazon’s Prime members!!!

    But, in order to take advantage of all these great deals and savings and offers and credits, you MUST BE an Amazon Prime Member. 

    Below are important things to do to prepare for Amazon’s Prime Day.

    1. Sign Up for Amazon Prime Account (if you don’t have one. Skip this if you do!)

    Prime is Amazon’s annual membership program and it’s loaded with all kinds of benefits. With a Prime membership, members receive:

    • 30-Day Free Trial
    • Free 2-day Shipping
    • Prime Now access
    • Access to thousands of movies, music and books
    • Early access to Lightning Deals & Prime Day Deals
    • And MUCH MUCH more!

    Tap below to get signed up!

    2. Make a list of items you’ve had on your wishlist and be ready to hunt for those deals.

    Here’s a short list of items that were featured last year.

    • 8-Qt. Instant Pot
    • Blendtec Blender
    • Ninja blender
    • Amazon’s devices – Dot, Echo, Show
    • Dash buttons
    • 23andme kits
    • Nintendo Switch
    • And much more!

    They’ll have inexpensive and expensive items on sale, so be on the lookout for everything on your list.

    3. Set a reminder on Alexa. And ask Alexa to tell you the deals.

    “Alexa, set an alarm for 3 pm EST on Monday, July 16th.”

    “Alexa, what are the top Prime Day deals today.” 

    Don’t have an Alexa, get one here.

    We have a few of the Alexa devices and we love them. The best is my youngest son trying to talk to Alexa and he says…

    Alexa. (and waits….)

    Alexa. (and waits more…)

    ALEXA. (impatiently waiting now…)

    Alexa…

    Me: Bubba, you have to say her name AND ask or tell her something.

    Alexa, what’s the weather today?

    4. Download the Amazon App.

    Select items within the app and be notified of deals. You can also tap “Watching” on some items to get a notice too.

    Amazon’s Prime Day Deal Predictions

    These are deals we anticipate seeing during the 36 hour deal frenzy!

    1. Instant Pot or Air Fryer – Trending Small Kitchen Appliance

    For the past 4 deal rounds, Amazon has shared an Instant Pot or Air Fryer, and other trending small kitchen appliance and I anticipate we’ll see more of that!

    I also anticipate a number of other small kitchen appliance deals on more expensive items like Blendtec’s or Vitamix.

    2. Prime Pantry Deals

    This deal is already live!

    30-Day Free Trial

    $10 off $40 order

    3. Alexa Devices 

    If you’ve been wanting to add to your Alexa device collection (like, a Dot in each bedroom because “Alexa, tell the kids to come down for dinner.”)

    • Echo Show
    • Echo
    • Echo Dot

    4. Printed Book Coupon Code

    Based on last year’s $5 off $15 coupon code for printed books (not Kindle), we anticipate the same this year. We have 3 new freezer meals cookbooks up on Amazon and you’ll be able to save on those too! We will post on the blog if/when this is live!

    5. Amazon Devices

    Last year, Amazon rolled prices back on their devices like the Fire Tablet, Fire HD and Amazon TVs.

    6. Amazon Services

    Amazon’s been rolling out a few different services options in the past year and I anticipate they will be marked down as well. From Amazon’s Prime Wardrobe to House Cleaning to Appliance Installation, I predict these options will be reduced or have free trials options.

    7. Amazon Fresh

    Since the takeover of Whole Foods, Amazon has quickly and dramatically pushed out their fresh food and delivery services. And if you want to try it, they’ve got a sweet deal for you. (This one is already live too!)

    Reminder…if you aren’t a Prime member yet, you can sign up now for a 30-day free trial and you’ll be able to take advantage of these sweet deals.
