LAmazon just dropped a killer deal on the mega-popular Fire TV Stick Lite — it’s down to a ridiculous $12, from $30! This is by far the best deal of Prime Day Eve. The brilliant streaming gizmo syncs to your WiFi to give you access to a boatload of goodness, including Netflix, Hulu, YouTube, Disney+, Prime Video, Peacock, HBO Max, Starz and Showtime. Between that smorgasbord of viewing options and the Fire TV Stick’s interactive settings — like pop-up results for actor and director names via IMDb — you might be tempted to ditch cable for good.
We’re not remotely exaggerating when we say that this may very well change the way you watch TV. (Photo: Amazon) Easy as pie: Simply plug it into one of your TV’s HDMI ports and it’ll search for your home’s Wi-Fi network and wait for you to log in. Once synced, you’ll have access to hundreds of streaming apps and channels,
If you have an older TV or just don’t like the video-streaming settings that came with your set, you need the Fire TV Stick Lite.

How do I find the best Prime Day 2022 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:
Deals of the Day: These sales last for a full 24 hours.
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.

What is Amazon Prime Day?
Let’s start with the basics.
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.

My fellow bargain shoppers, the time has come: Prime Day 2022 is (almost) upon us! Amazon’s annual two-day sales marathon rolls into town on Tuesday, July 12 and Wednesday, July 13. But if you’re looking to save big, you’re going to need a clear plan of attack to get the most out of the epic shopping event. Fear not! We’re here to tell you what deals are worth your time…and which retailers are getting in on the action. Yep, this year, Prime Day is not just Amazon’s thing. Most of your favorite retailers are launching their own coinciding sales events — some with even deeper discounts or longer durations — to compete with Amazon’s big day.
Here are few that launched pre-prime day:
