Love a good bargain? Well, you’ve come to the right place. Amazon Prime Day is coming up in a few weeks, and more and more deals are going live daily leading up to the event. Because scrolling can get tedious, we’ve dug through Amazon Canada to find the best sales this week, and here are our favourite finds. There are headphones, kitchen appliances, and a ton of other treasures you’ll probably be thrilled to save a few bucks on.
Amazon Prime Day will be running from July 16 through July 17, so it’s actually two full days of savings. The event is exclusively for Prime members, but even those without memberships will also be able to snag some awesome deals.
First things first, you’ll want to sign up for an Amazon Prime account. Most deals are exclusive to Prime members, and you definitely won’t want to miss out. You’ll have the added benefit of seeing your orders arrive on your doorstep lickety-split (you can get free 1-day delivery on many items in most cities, with no minimum purchase required). It costs $99 a year (plus tax), but students can get it for only $49 (plus tax). If you’ve never tried it out, you can sign up for a 30-day trial period (seriously, now’s the time).
The benefits of your Amazon Prime account aren’t limited to Prime Day, though. With your membership, you’ll have access to other Amazon services, like Amazon Music and Prime Video, where you can watch Amazon Original series and more. It’ll also give you access to Prime Reading, where you can read a regularly updated selection of books for free.
You’ll want to do a bit of prep work before Prime Day rolls around. Start off by bookmarking Amazon Canada’s Prime Day page, where all the discounts will be listed. You’ll be able to browse by categories if you have an idea of what you’re looking for. You’ll also want to keep an eye on our Deals page to find shopping tips and curated picks from all sections of the site, from homewares to beauty staples (there are good deals to be found everywhere!).
You may also want to download the Amazon app before Prime Day, so you can browse and buy with ease on your phone or tablet. Don’t forget to start building a wish list, either.
