The best early Amazon Prime Day deals for 2024 to shop ahead of July 16-17
The dates for Amazon's summer Prime Day 2024 have finally arrived. Without further ado, this year’s summer deal extravaganza will be happening on July 16th and 17th, Tuesday and Wednesday. Just like last year, Autoblog will be curating all the best Prime Day deals on TVs, tech, outdoor grills, generators, home and garden supplies, automotive accessories (our fav) and much, much more! Our goal around this event is to make your life easier, so to do that, the best way to keep up with our coverage is to bookmark our Amazon Prime Day 2024 landing page and check back often the closer we get to the big days.
If you're wondering what all the Prime Day fuss is about, it might be easiest to think about it as a bit of a Black Friday alternative for the summertime. During the 2-day event you’ll find all kinds of huge deals in any product category you could imagine. As you might expect for a "Prime" Day, the sale caters first and foremost to Amazon Prime members, but if you don’t have a Prime membership, don’t worry, there are almost always great deals to be had around this event for members and non-members alike. If you do want to give a Prime membership a try, though, you can actually sign up for a 30-day free trial right here. It comes with tons of perks beyond just access to Prime Day deals, not the least of which is the Amazon Prime streaming service (anyone else tuning into The Boys this season?)
Although the official event won't be here until July, there are still all kinds of great early Prime Day deals to be had right now. We've gathered up some of our favorites below.
When is Amazon Prime Day 2024?
Amazon Prime Day 2024 is officially taking place on July 16th and 17th. Even if you're not an Amazon shopper, you can probably expect most of your favorite retailers like REI, Walmart and more to feature competing sales around this time period as well, all of which we'll be covering here at Autoblog.
What is Amazon Prime Day?
Amazon Prime Day is Amazon's biggest and best sale event of the year. Recently, Amazon has been shifting the official language more toward "Amazon Prime Day event," but it will always just be Prime Day in our hearts. The event primarily focuses on special deals just for Amazon Prime members and is often one of the best times of the year to save on all kinds of tech, appliance, car gear, gadgets and more.
How to prep for Amazon Prime Day?
Putting in a little bit of prep for Prime Day is recommended, since once the event finally arrives, it can be overwhelming. Have a good idea of what you want to buy well ahead of time (Amazon's Wish List feature is great for this) to help stay focused. Also, keeping a price tracker tool in your bookmarks bar can be helpful as well. CamelCamelCamel is a great one as it can quickly and easily monitor price changes for any product on Amazon all year 'round and even alert you when a desired item gets discounted. And of course, make sure you bookmark Autoblog so we can do all the hard work for you to keep you up on all the latest deals.
