What is Amazon Prime Day?

Prime Day is Amazon’s biggest sale day of the year!

It’s a day that Amazon offers black Friday-type deals to their Prime subscribers.

Not everything is on sale, but they will drastically reduce prices on thousands of items.

Top categories include tech, kitchen appliances, and home goods!

When is Amazon Prime Day?

Amazon Prime Day is not happening on just one day, but two! WooHoo!

It begins this morning Tuesday, July 12th, and continues through the evening of Wednesday, July 13th!

That’s 48 hours of incredible sales!

Can I shop the Deals if I’m not a Prime Member?

The bad news is that you can not shop for Prime Day sales if you are not a member.

The good news is that they are offering an Amazon Prime 30-day Free Trial!

So you don’t have to miss out on all the fun!

If you want to go ahead and join, Prime membership costs $14.99 per month or $139.00 for a one-year subscription (that’s a $40.88 savings).

There is also lots of other perks besides free shipping and Prime Video. Here is a new one where you can now get a free Grubhub+ membership for one year. Access unlimited $0 delivery fees on eligible orders from your favorite restaurants, exclusive savings and donation matching.
