Sneak Peek of Amazon Prime Day Sales (and Competitors!)

Deal Alert! Get Ready for Big Amazon Sales Tomorrow | thegoodstuff

It may not be Black Friday, but bargain hunters should be on the lookout for some BIG Amazon sales to pop up tomorrow.

Amazon Prime Day

In honor of the anniversary of Amazon Prime, all Prime subscribers will have special access to deep discounts and exclusive deals on electronics, toys, video games, movies, clothing, patio, lawn and garden, sports and outdoor items and more. Flash sales, or “Lightning Deals” will be released throughout the day, and we’ll be looking for the best deals to share with you. Come back to The Good Stuff whenever you have a break tomorrow and check out the best offers for Prime Day.

Walmart Rollbacks

Not one to let Amazon steal the spotlight, Walmart has announced its own super sale to compete with Prime Day. Walmart’s Dare to Compare offers will be available to everyone, not just Prime members, and they will be available for longer than one day.

What to Look For on Amazon Prime Day

You can expect the most deals on home electronics. If you’re in the market for software, TVs, cameras, audio and video equipment, Prime Day is for you. You might not find the exact brand or model on your wish list, but if you’re flexible, you can find some great deals. If you’re filling out your list for the home, you can expect lots of vacuums and smaller pieces of furniture.

With Amazon claiming that more discounts will be available tomorrow than even Black Friday, bargain hunters would be silly to skip the sales. But what makes a good deal? Here are a few bargain hunting rules of thumb:

Amazon loves Amazon! If you have an Amazon Echo or Tap, some of the big sales will be exclusive to you. If you haven’t heard of the Echo or it’s smooth talking operator, Alexa, now is your chance to check it out.
Keep an eye out for “Lightning Deals’ — these sales will only be available for a few hours, but you can expect the highest percentages off on this flash sales.
If it’s an item that’s already on your shopping list, go ahead and hit “Buy.”
Comparison shop by Googling the item and checking the price on a few other sites.
Can you wait? If you don’t need the item right now, you might see even bigger discounts in the holiday season. If it doesn’t drop, it will most likely at least match the Prime Day price.
