Amazon Prime Day Tips for Preppers! (How to Bring Your ‘A’ Game to Prime Day)

1 . Get Amazon Prime NOW…

…even if it’s just temporary – so you can be in on all the Prime Day Deals.   Sign up for a 30-Day Trial Here and get ready to shop!

2 . Check out the 4 Early Deals that have already started:

• Get 4 Months of Amazon Music for 99¢

3 . Know When Prime Day Deals Start

Sounds like a no-brainer right?  Not quite!  While Amazon Prime Day is July 11th – deals actually start on July 10th at 8pm Central Standard Time.  And if you have Echo or Alexa – even earlier than that…

 

4 . Have Alexa?  Get Early Deals!

For some reason Amazon really really REALLY wants us to try out this whole voice-shopping thing.  So on July 10th, folks shopping with devices powered by Alexa (like the Echo or Echo Dot) can get access to select deals from 6pm – 8pm CST.

5 . Voice Deals Sneak Peak:

Amazon has already leaked a few of the Alexa-powered deals to expect:

• Save $50 on Bose Soundlink Bluetooth speaker III — say, “Alexa, order Bose Soundlink three.”
• Save $20 on Philips Hue Lightstrip Plus 2nd Generation — works with Alexa — say, “Alexa, order Philips Lightstrip Plus.”
• Save $7 on Wemo Mini smart plug — say, “Alexa, order Wemo Mini Smart Plug.”
• Save $6 on Greenies dog treats, original flavor, 27 oz. (around 760 grams) — say, “Alexa, order Greenies dog treats.”
• Save 50% on Wickedly Prime Sweet n’ Cheesy Popcorn Mix — say, “Alexa, order Sweet and Cheesy Popcorn.”
• Save 35% on Haribo Gummi Bear 12-pack — say, “Alexa, order Haribo Gummi Bears.”
• Save 30% on Squatty Potty — say, “Alexa, order Squatty Potty.”

6 . Daily Deals

Leading up to Prime Day there will be some hot daily deals as well.  Here’s the schedule:

• July 5th — Alexa Voice Shopping
• July 6th — Amazon Music
• July 7th — Amazon Prime Video
• July 8th — Everyday Essentials
• July 9th — Amazon Reading

7 . Add Items To Your List

So even if you don’t KNOW what’s going to go on sale for Prime Day – go ahead and add items you’re wanting to your list and then when/if they go on sale, you’ll get a notification.  Work smarter not harder!

8 . Stick Lightning Deals In Your Cart

So Lightning Deals go fast – hence the name.  They’re limited in supply and that means that if you want to get in on that fleeting deal you’ll want to add the item to your cart before the lightning deals starts (You can preview lots of the lightning deals here) so that when the Lightning Deal starts, all you have to do is checkout!

9. Love the Waitlist

If you miss a deal (If it says 100% claimed) – JOIN THE WAITLIST!  I promise, it’s not as futile as you might think!  There are so many times I’ve joined the waitlist and ended up getting the deal after a bunch of people backed out.

 

10 . Save on Shipping

You already get FREE 2-Day Shipping with Amazon Prime – but if you choose “No Rush Shipping” you can get a $5.95 Credit to be used towards Prime Pantry orders!
