Did you know behind Black Friday, Amazon Prime Day is the biggest online shopping day of the year? I wish I had a post like this last year to inform me of the savings leading up to and the best deals on Prime Day.
I love that practically everything I need can be found on their site and it all arrives at my door. My kids can pick things out they need or want and put them on their wish lists. They get to make their own choices, and we save time!
*Thanks for using my affiliate links and supporting Ounce of Salt when you buy through my site, at no cost to you!
Prepare Now for The Best Deals on Amazon Prime Day
The official sale starts at 3 pm EST on July 16 and runs through July 17. But deals have started already!
Amazon Prime Membership
Sign up for a 30-day trial of Amazon Prime to take advantage of Amazon Prime Day.
- The program includes free two-day shipping on millions of products, same-day delivery in some areas, free music streaming, and access to thousands of movies and television shows on-demand.
- If you don’t love the program before the 30days, you can always cancel after you shop through next week.
Download the Amazon App
If you don’t have the Amazon App, download it to get notifications of items on your watchlist. As a bonus, if you’ve never downloaded the app, you will get a $10 credit to use on any purchase of $20 or more.
During the sale, click on “UPCOMING DEALS” to see when items come up. If you find something you want, add it to your cart to save yourself a step when the deal goes live.
If something sells out fast, don’t hesitate to sign up for the waitlist! Likely you will get it for the same price.
Audible
This is my absolute favorite app I have on my phone! If you’ve been following me on Instagram, I share good books I listen to on Audible. I can get through so many books this way when I’m driving, standing in line at the store or doing household chores!
If you’re busy but love books, get Audible! It’s worth it at even the regular $14.95 price because your family members can share books. See my post on My Favorite Apps for Families for more details on Audible. And then download the books on my book club list!
Get three months of Audible for $4.95 a month. Each month you will get 1 book credit, and if you start a book you don’t like and want to trade in for another, you are free to do so!
Prime Pantry
I use Prime Pantry for my repeat items that are heavy or large like laundry detergent, paper towels, toilet paper and cat food. What motivation to try Prime Pantry when they are offering $10 off and a free trial. That’s pretty cool because you’ll get 25% off on a $40 order.
Amazon Fresh
I’ve meant to try Amazon Fresh, and this deal is just what I needed to get me to do it. Use code 30Fresh to get discount.
Amazon Music
Four months of Amazon Music Unlimited for just $0.99? Anyone with access to your Amazon account can download the music which means the whole family can share music! Much better than paying per itunes account. Check it out and see if you like it. I’m excited to do this one for new running songs.
3 months of Kindle for 99 cents
Get 3 months of unlimited kindle reading for 99 cents. Hard to beat!
10% back on Visa Cards toward WHOLE FOODS
Following Amazon’s acquisition of the supermarket chain and with the Prime Visa card, you can earn 10% back on purchases at Whole Foods. I heard prices, in general, will be decreasing over time but this is a great bonus until then!
