Amazon Prime Day has become one of the major shopping events of the year, and ā after a delay ā itās finally here. Starting today, and going through tomorrow, cyber shoppers all over the world can take advantage of some killer deals and all the things you need, want, or youāve never really thought aboutā¦but it looks cool at the moment.
It can also lead to some unnecessary shopping stress and severe over-spending if youāre not smart about things and go crazy with it all. So, to properly prepare yourself, try to keep these expert tips in mind as you explore the site for deals:
- Check Out Other sites āAmazon Prime Day is filled with aggressive marketing aimed at impulse buying. Be sure to check out other sites to ensure what your getting is really a deal you canāt get anyplace else.
- Impulsiveness āShopping with just one click makes impulse buying easy. Take a moment to think about what youāre getting and if you really want it before you make the commitment. Try counting to ten or some other number that makes you feel better about things.
- Lightning Deals āYou can check out upcoming āLightning Dealsā on the app, and click āWatchā on the ones youāre interested in. Then, youāll get a notification when the deal goes live and are ready to pounce.
- Research āDo your due diligence and make sure what youāre buying is what you truly want and is a quality item. You donāt want to get so carried away that you end up buying something less than what youāre looking for.
- Budget āCreate a list of the things youāre in need of, and how much you have to spend on it. Amazon Prime Day is an easy way to overextend yourself if youāre not disciplined.
- Check Dates āMake sure that what youāre buying isnāt going to be something thatās outdated by the time you get it. This especially goes for tech items. Read the fine print so youāre not stuck with something someone just wanted to get off their shelves to make room for the new stuff.
- Timing āThere are lots of great deals out there but think about if those deals might be even better on Black Friday or after the new year. Itās a gamble, but one worth thinking through.
- Rewards āMake sure youāre using a credit card that gives you points and rewards. Especially if youāre the type that pays it off every month.
- Bundles āBundle deals are great if you can use all the items in the bundle. If you canāt use something in it, then itās a waste.
