Buying high-quality tech doesn’t have to break the bank if you know the right time to look for good deals on Amazon. The good news is that you don’t have to plan your year around one single day on Amazon to find deals on tech. Amazon actually has four different sales across the year where you’ll find discounted tech products.
Prime Day in July, Prime Big Deal Days in October, Cyber Monday in November, and the December holiday season are all excellent times to shop for tech on Amazon. A great way to be prepared is to save items on Amazon to its shopping list feature so you can easily refer back to them later. Near the item’s description will be an option that reads “Add to List.” This is a great way to keep track of the price changes of items you are interested in to see when they have the best sale.
While there might be some tech you may not want to buy on Amazon, such as items with no clear brand, the site is generally a good place for tech shoppers. As you wait for these four deal times to arrive, having target items on your List is also a good way to ensure the sales are not fake or over-exaggerated, so you don’t waste your money. After all, there is an Amazon lawsuit regarding prices being raised to make Prime Deals seem much better than they are.
Amazon Prime Day happens in early July, and the exact dates are announced earlier in the year so you can prepare. You may even find Prime Day electronics that are 50% off, a bargain that is hard to pass up. As the name implies, Prime Day is for Amazon Prime members only. If you don’t want to have Prime but do want to take advantage of the sales, you can opt for a month-long membership and then stop your subscription afterward. Sometimes Amazon will even offer a week- or month-long free Prime trial.
That isn’t the only sale exclusive to Prime members, though. Amazon has Prime Big Deal Days in early October. It is another event offering discounts on tech items as well as other products across the site. The position of Prime Big Deal Days is very timely for people who like to start their holiday shopping a bit early, since it means you don’t have to wait for the rush of Black Friday or Cyber Monday at the end of November. By having this big of a sale at the start of October, Amazon attracts not only early holiday shoppers, but also those that may not have found what they wanted during July’s Prime Day and are still waiting around for a good sale on a certain tech item.
