Amazon Prime Day – Shopping Tips

1) Plan ahead

The inventory of most discounted items on Prime Day is limited, so the time for making decisions is limited as well.

It is recommended to make a wishlist of products before Amazon Prime Day, and decide on a budget for buying them, so that if you find them at a good price you can buy them quickly.

Planning ahead can also help you avoid impulsive purchases of products that you don’t really need.

Another good idea is to add the relevant products to your shopping cart in advance.

Amazon offers an option to track prices of products and promotions on Prime Day, using the “watch this deal” button.

2) Subscribe to Amazon Prime

Participation in Amazon Prime Day is open only to Amazon Prime members.

The registration for Amazon Prime is free for 30 days, so you can enjoy full access to all the special offers, shipping benefits and much more.

It is recommended to register a few days before Prime Day starts, in order to not waste any time on Prime Day itself. And of course – if you do not want to pay the monthly/annual subscription fee, do not forget to cancel your subscription before the trial period ends.

3) When you see a product from your list at a good price – Buy it

Amazon Prime day is not a good day for trying to find the best deal on the web. “Perfect is the enemy of good” and one can easily miss out attractive deals while trying to find the best one.

Hundreds of millions of buyers are likely to look for bargains on Amazon Prime Day 2022, so if you find something you want at a good price, simply click the “Buy” button and move on to the next product.

4) Make sure the price you have found is really attractive

Amazon Assistant is a browser add-on that allows us to receive deal alerts directly to our desktop.

New Amazon assistant users will get a $ 5 discount for a purchase over $ 25 on Prime Day – register here.

6) Shipping costs can turn a good deal sour

National and international shipping costs can be negligible in some cases, but in other cases they can turn a good offer into an unattractive one.

Conclusion

Amazon Prime Day 2022 is expected to be a very interesting sales day for consumers across the world, thanks to a combination of great prices and, for the first time, free international shipping on some of the products.

Amazon wants to turn Prime Day into one of the most popular sales days of the year, which poses an excellent chance for consumers to “grab” products at very attractive prices.
