Amazon launched early deals on items like devices that are as good as you’ll see on Prime Day, and make sense to shop in advance. We will be covering these deals, in addition to posting expert advice, until 3am ET, when the main Prime Day deals go live.
Aside from Black Friday, Amazon Prime Day is the best time of year to pick up an Echo device since most of them are deeply discounted. Amazon didn’t disappoint this year — all of its Echo Show smart displays are on sale for Prime Day, key among them being the second-generation Echo Show 8 for $75. That’s $55 off its usual price and a new record low.
Whether your current TV is on the outs or you’re just craving a bigger model, you’re in luck. Right now, Amazon is holding impressive early Prime Day 2022 deals on TVs that are definitely worth your time. You can save 50% off top-rated sets (like this Toshiba 55-Inch Class M550 Series for $350, down from $800)!
Lightning deals are fleeting Prime Day sales that are gone in a flash — some in as few as four hours and while supplies last, so you’ve got to act fast. It’s best to get ahead of the game by navigating to Today’s Deals, then scrolling down to Prime Early Access Deals, where Prime members can see and shop lightning deals up to 30 minutes before they’re released. Of course, Prime Day made Lightning Deals famous, but they’re actually available year-round. Here’s the Lightning Deals landing page.
The Lightning Deals on electronics are always fun: we routinely see up to 50% off bestselling projectors, smart watches, earbuds and walking shoes.

If you’ve been holding out for a Prime Day deal on the Apple TV 4K, there’s no need to wait — the 32GB model has just dropped to $120 or 33 percent ($59) off the regular price. That’s the cheapest we’ve seen yet on Apple’s streaming device that offers features like 4K HDR, gaming, the Siri Remote and more.
We are here to tell you how to get Prime Day Deals even cheaper — and sooner. Prime Day is only available to Amazon Prime members, so if you’re not part of the program, you won’t be eligible for all the big savings and deals. But there’s a way to get access to the exclusive annual shopping event without shelling out $139 per year for a membership. Note: Membership has been lowered to just $7.49 a month for college students and $7 a month for EBT or Medicaid cardholders — that’s more than 50 percent off!
Want free access? Simply sign up for a free Amazon Prime trial. The retail giant offers a lengthy 30-day free trial to entice potential members to take advantage of its exclusive benefits, including free two-day shipping, discounts at Amazon and Whole Foods and access to Prime Video and Amazon Music. And yes, a free pass to Prime Day. This will get you access to all the Prime Day 2022 deals, including Lightning Deals (which last for a few hours) and Deals of the Day (which last for a full 24 hours). While Prime Day is a whopping 48 hours, flash deals frequently start and end sporadically throughout the event.
Just remember to cancel your membership before the 30 days are up unless you want to pay for an annual subscription.
You probably have a friend or family member with an Apple Watch, and maybe you’ve thought to yourself, “That seems really useful, too bad they’re so pricey.” Well, they’re a little less pricey right now at Amazon, where you can save up to a jaw-dropping $115 on a brand-new Series 7 ahead of Prime Day and discounts include some of the fancier models with cellular service. The ultimate in wearable technology, the Apple Watch does it all — from sensing your health data (make sure you get those steps in!) to storing your music, helping you find your way with GPS, and fielding your texts and calls. This is an incredibly popular watch with more than 24,000 five-star ratings and with Apple’s commitment to quality, this really is a can’t-miss deal.
Right now, you can score an Echo Show 5 for just $35, down from $85 — that’s 60% off! This Amazon No. 1 bestseller is such a hit, it’s earned a perfect five-star rating from more than 57,000 reviewers. With a five-inch display, the Alexa-enabled Echo Show 5 is perfect for a nightstand — among its many talents, it’s also an alarm clock! Amazon has a wide range of personalized clock faces to choose from, so you can bring a bit of personality to your space. “So convenient,” wrote a five-star fan. “I check the time and the temperature, ask her to set reminders or a timer, ask her how long to cook something, etc. I’ve also used her to send photos and make a video call to my nephew and his family.”
From the editors at Engadget: Amazon’s free Prime Gaming downloads for Prime Day this year include some pretty well-known titles, though this round’s heavy hitter is BioWare’s Mass Effect Legendary Edition. The compilation bundles all the single-player base games of the original Mass Effect trilogy, remastered with improved graphics optimized for 4K Ultra HD and with adjusted gameplay. It also comes with over 40 items of downloadable content, such as promo weapons and armor.
This gorgeous patio chair is $156 off in an early Prime Day deal. Upgrade your outdoor seating with this pretty eucalyptus hardwood seat. It’s weather resistant, so you don’t have to stress about splinters, and protects against decay. Place it on your patio, front porch or yard.
It’s hard to believe, but Prime Day starts tomorrow. While Tuesday and Wednesday are the official Prime Days, Amazon has been dropping new early Prime Day sales each day for weeks. Today, enjoy impressive discounts on a range of must-haves, including eucalyptus hardwood outdoor armchair, cult-favorite slippers and more!
Prime Day is one July 12th and 13th in more than 20 countries. Historically, Prime Day has taken place mid-month, after the July 4th holiday, and in time for back-to-school shopping for states that return to classrooms in late July and early August.
What is Amazon Prime Day?
Prime Day, which began eight years ago, is Amazon’s biggest shopping event for Prime members. The stellar sale includes markdowns on thousands upon thousands of products: tech, kitchen essentials, vacuums, apparel, beauty must-haves and so much more. And the deals are not only on Amazon — in 2022, just about every other retailer will launch competing sales, making it a strategic day to shop for the best deals outside of Black Friday/Cyber Monday.
Not everything is on sale for Prime Day, but a lot is. This is usually the day when you’ll find huge discounts on top-rated brands and products you know and love.
Is Prime Day for Prime members only?
Yup. But if you’re not a Prime member, there’s still time to sign up and take advantage of the savings. Prime plans are $14.99 per month (or $139 per year), and you get a free 30-day trial at signup.
You’ll also get exclusive access to deals. Check out all the Amazon Prime 2022 perks here.
Can I get the deals with a free trial membership? If so, How long is the Amazon Prime free trial?
Yes, you can enjoy the perks of Prime Day — and all of the other benefits of being an Amazon Prime member — with the free trial membership. The trial membership is for 30 days.
How do I find the best deals?
There are a few things you can do to score big on your favorite items. The first is to get familiar with the popular pages across the site that typically host the best sales:
Lightning Deals: These deals last for only a few hours, while supplies last. Prime members get access to these sales 30 minutes before they go live to the public.
Savings and Sales:Ongoing deals throughout the event on select brands and products.
Amazon Coupons:You’ll find instant savings in this section.
We also recommend setting up a ‘Wish List’ at Amazon. That way, you’ve identified your must-have items before Prime Day, and once the sales go live, you can add them to your cart stress-free.
If you haven’t already done so, downloading the Amazon app is a must, as it allows you to watch the deals you’re interested in and get notified when they start.
