Every year like clockwork, Amazon Prime Day floods our emails with a lot of it fluff deals, and discounts from virtually everything from cheap CrockPots, battery packs from companies that you may or may not have ever heard from, and a bunch of other items that have been sitting on Amazon’s shelves they’ve been trying to get rid of.
We’re here to tell you a couple of things you may want to consider for today, a few things to avoid, and a few ongoing deals that you actually may want to check out.
Just like traditional shopping, Amazon is going to bombard you with hundreds of things that are going to be tempting to purchase, with a price that is “hard to say no to”. To the contrary, sometimes everything you purchase may not be something you necessarily need. For example: If you see a 55-gallon bag of lotion on sale for $26.77, you should do the obvious to avoid “getting taken” on Prime Day.
- Do you really need 55 gallons of lotion?
- READ THE REVIEWS – If the lotion is from a company that you’ve never heard of, and the one/ two-star reviews give you instant red flags … chances are 109 bad reviews and two good ones say everything for you.
- Prime Day Spam emails — This is certainly a thing. If you’re receiving emails about gift card offers in return for a review, some are easier to ignore than others, you should always be vigilant about scammers asking for details like your Amazon username/passwords, and other details should never be offered, especially via email.
Obviously, there are plenty of other details for Prime Day to monitor such as live pricing, since some deals only last a few hours. But most important if you plan on shopping on this special occasion you want to turn the alerts on from the Amazon app. Doing thing on the web or through the app itself allows you to never miss your window to purchase that high thread count blanket.
That being said, here are a few Amazon deals that we think are worth checking out:
