Prime Day 2023

The second 2023 Prime Day event will take place Tuesday, October 11, and Wednesday, October 12! Amazon’s Prime Day deals only last 48 hours, so don’t hesitate when making a purchase; if you find something on your list at a great price, buy it! Once they’re out of stock and the Prime Day sales are over, it will be unlikely to find your items at such a great price. And, of course, many other stores will be taking part in the Prime Day madness, so expect to see lots of deals from other shops lasting even longer than Amazon Prime Day.

Prime Day shopping tips

Knowing where to get the best Prime Day deals is incredibly important, but are you ready to start shopping? Prime Day deals can be overwhelming--there’s so much to buy and so little time! We’ve listed some shopping tips to keep in mind once Prime Day rolls around. 

Sign up to become an Amazon Prime member

Prime Day sales are specifically for Amazon Prime members, so don’t forget to sign up before Prime Day! Being a Prime member comes with great rewards, like free 2-day shipping on select products and discounted items year-round. If you want to check out a Prime membership without committing to a long-term subscription, you can get a 30-day free trial. Start your trial now to hop on the upcoming Prime Day sales! 

Make a Prime Day shopping list

Going into Prime Day with a plan is the best way to make the most of this savings opportunity. If you open the Amazon website on Prime Day to shop aimlessly, you may end up overspending and unable to find anything you like. Take the next few weeks leading up to Prime Day 2023 to browse the Amazon website and other competing brands. Create a wishlist of products you want to buy once they go on sale, this way you can simply add items to your cart on Prime Day, and purchase them at a low cost before they sell out. 

Price compare deals

Since Amazon is no longer the only online shop with discounts and special offers during Prime Day, it’s important to weigh out all your options. Before you click ‘buy,’ check out other websites that sell the same products to be sure you’re getting the best Prime Day deal possible. 

Alternative Prime Day savings opportunities

While Prime Day is an excellent time to shop discounted Amazon tech products, it’s a great time to buy products from other shops and in other categories as well. We have listed some of the top non-tech stores to search for sales this Prime Day! 

Target

Title
Title

This year, Target is hosting their competing Prime Day sale from July 11 until July 13. While Target carries a range of products across all categories, during this weekend's sale, you'll find the greatest discounts on their tech products. In last year's sale, they offered discounts on electronics, such as vacuums, headphones, smartphone accessories, and more. While they haven't released any specific deals just yet, here are some products from the Target clearance section that you can save on in the meantime.

Walmart 

Title
Title

Although there isn't a date set for Walmart's Prime Day sale, last year, their sale coincided with Amazon Prime Day but lasted three days rather than two. This allows shoppers to compare Walmart and Amazon's prices, and get in an extra day of shopping if they missed out on the Prime Day deals. Walmart listed discounts in nearly every department, from electronics to fashion, and you could score great savings. If you're looking for some significant savings right now, check out these Walmart offers: 

Kohl's

Title
Title

Last year, Kohl's hosted their Wow Deals sale during Amazon Prime Day. This sale allowed Kohl's customers $10 in Kohl's Cash for every $50 spent. Kohl's Card customers also received an additional 15% off their order. While we wait for this year's deals to be announced, here are some great products you can currently save on: 

Home Depot

You won't want to miss out on the Home Depot Prime Day sale, as we expect them to offer some serious discounts! Now is your chance to buy that new light fixture for your living room, more indoor furniture, and even appliances, because Home Depot is going to help you save. In last year's sale, customers could score 30% off mattresses and bases and up to $100 off power tools. Below are some offers you can take advantage of now while we wait for this weekend's deals to be released: 

Bed Bath & Beyond

If you're looking to save on home goods, like bedding, kitchenware, and toiletries, Bed Bath & Beyond can be your one-stop-shop. They have great prices all year round, and their competing Prime Day sale last year offered major discounts; you could find products in nearly every category for 50% off! We hope to see more great offers this year. In the meantime you can save on the following items:
