Amazon Prime Day is happening this year on June 23-26, so you will want to take a few minutes before it gets here to make sure you are ready to go.

Every year I find some of my best deals on household essentials, beauty products, groceries, and Amazon devices during Prime Day.

I have all of the Amazon Prime Day Shopping secrets, tips and tricks for successful deal snagging below.

Don’t worry if you don’t have an Amazon Prime membership, because I’m going to tell you how to get a free Amazon Prime Membership below.

Every year I have readers asking me if they can sign up for a free Prime trial and still get the Prime Day deals.

The answer is yes!

If you’ve never had Prime before, this is one of my favorite times to grab a free trial because you can take advantage of the biggest deals of the year and decide later if the membership is worth keeping.

What is Prime Day?

Amazon Prime Day is when Amazon releases their lowest priced deals (think Black Friday in June) available to Amazon Prime Members only.

It starts on June 23rd at 3 am, and will run through June 26th, but every day leading up to Prime Day, Prime members will discover all kinds of exclusive offers and deals.

These deals are so good that some of them have been known to sell out in just minutes.

What Usually Goes On Sale During Prime Day?

• Small Kitchen Appliances
• Amazon Devices
• Groceries
• Beauty Products
• Household Essentials
• School Supplies
• Electronics
• Toys

Following these Amazon Prime Day shopping tips will give you the best chance of snagging the hottest deals before they sell out.

Can I Get Prime Day Deals With a Free 30 Day Trial?

Yes. If you’re eligible for a free 30 day Amazon Prime trial and sign up before or during Prime Day, you’ll typically have access to the same Prime exclusive deals as paid Prime members.

That means you can shop the event without paying for a membership upfront. Just remember to cancel before the trial ends if you don’t want to be charged.

How to get a FREE Amazon Prime Membership?

You can sign up here today for your own FREE membership.

This way you can access all of the Prime Day Deals and then go ahead and cancel your membership after Amazon Prime Day, so you won’t be charged the monthly fee after the free 30 day trial.

How to get ready now for Amazon Prime Day. 

Make sure to get your FREE Amazon Prime Membership, if you don’t already have one, so you are ready to go on June 23rd.

Join our Saving Dollars and Sense group here, where we will share the best deals that we see all day long.

Bookmark our Amazon Deals Page here. This is where I always post the best Amazon Deals I find, even after Prime Day has ended.

Tips for Successful Amazon Prime Day Shopping

Be ready when the festivities begin and check back often.

Amazon Prime Day’s best bargains are available in limited quantities. As a Prime member, you’ll get advance notice, but if it’s one of those 4K big-screen TVs you’re after or a Nintendo Switch, be ready to pounce before they’re all gone.

Download the Amazon app to get a sneak peek at deals a week in advance.

Add the items you like to your list (here’s how), and you’ll receive an alert when they go on sale.

Create your own wish list.

Amazon will notify you if any of the items you’re coveting become Prime Day deals.

If what you’re looking for isn’t on sale, check out other retailers. Many are offering their own Black Friday in July sales.

Keep Lightning Deals on your radar.

These super-limited offers are the best-of-the-best and never last long. Last year, to qualify as a lightning deal, a product had to be at least 20% off its list price. Once you put a lightning deal in your cart, you only have about 15 minutes to checkout.

Consider getting the Amazon Prime credit card. You’ll immediately get a $100 gift card and 5% back on all Amazon purchases.

My Prime Day Shopping Strategy

After covering deals for more than 15 years, I’ve learned that the biggest savings come from buying things you were already planning to purchase.

I make a list before Prime Day starts and focus on household essentials, groceries, gifts, and items I’ve been watching for a while.

1. Make a list before Prime Day starts.
2. Buy needs before wants.
3. Check Lightning Deals early.
4. Compare prices before checking out.
5. Watch for grocery and household deals.
6. Don’t buy something just because it’s marked down.
