How to Get the Best Deals on Amazon Prime Day

Jul 14 | Canada Deals

Amazon Prime Day is coming on July 15-16, 2019. And this year, it looks like it’s going to be better than ever!

This year, Amazon is promising to offer amazing deals (last year, the Prime Day deals were on par with Black Friday week!). Because of this, I'm expecting many other retailers to jump on the bandwagon by trying to be competitive with their own deals.

This could mean more deals and more savings for us!

To help you prepare well to maximize your savings for Amazon Prime Day Deals, here are 4 strategies:

1. Sign up for a free 30-day trial to Amazon Prime.

Not an Amazon Prime member? No worries, now is the perfect time to sign up for a FREE 30-day trial!

This way, you’ll get all of the benefits of Prime and be able to take advantage of the deals, but you won't have to pay for a Prime subscription. At the end of the 30 days, be sure to go into your account and cancel your subscription and you won’t be charged!

2. Follow me on Instagram

If you’re not already following me on Instagram at SimplyFrugalDeals, I would LOVE for you to head over here and hit the follow button.

On Amazon Prime Day, I’ll be hopping onto Instagram multiple times throughout the day telling you about the best deals that I am most excited about!

3. Follow the Facebook Page & Facebook Group

Along with Instagram I will be posting all the deals all day long on the Facebook Page and Facebook Group.

Psst! I'll be posting all of the Prime Day Deals at this link right here all day Monday and Tuesday.

4. Make a List & a Budget

While my aim here at Simply Frugal is to provide you with great deals, I am also a firm believer of spending within your means. If you haven’t done so already, be sure to make a list of the items you are most interested in buying, as well as the budget you have to spend. This way, you don’t just jump on a good deal because it’s “such a good deal!”, when it’s not something you need or can afford.
