In case you've been blissfully unaware of the shopping mayhem that is Amazon Prime Day, let's get you up to speed: Amazon Prime Day is an annual 48-hour event in which Amazon discounts thousands of products across every single category. Usually the savings event happens once a year in July, but for the past two years, Amazon has offered a similar two-day sale in October, giving eager shoppers a second chance to save. Tech and home sales tend to be the most popular during these events—and amount to the biggest savings—but we typically also see great deals on clothing and shoes, luggage, beauty products, outdoor gear, and family travel essentials.
Amazon Prime Day began on Tuesday, July 16, and will run through today, July 17. The best deals won't last long, so if you see something you really want on sale, don't hesitate to add it to your cart.
Yes, you do have to be an Amazon Prime member to take advantage of these deals. Membership costs $14.99 per month or $139 per year (college students get a discounted rate), but you can sign up for a free 30-day trial here to try it out without committing to a full year. If you do keep your Prime membership account, you'll have access to same-day, one-day, and two-day shipping on millions of products, two-hour grocery delivery via Whole Foods, Prime's Try Before You Buy program, and more.
During Prime Day, you'll find a variety of can't-miss sales: Lightning Deals, which only run for a few hours; Deals of the Day, which run for one specific day; and Best Deals, which extend beyond the two-day sale. Shoppers will find deals on Amazon devices, as well as discounts across all categories, including luggage, clothing and shoes, tech accessories, outdoor gear, beauty products, home goods, and more. There's also discounts on big ticket items that travelers love, like noise-canceling headphones, e-readers, wearable tech,
