Everything You Need to Know About Amazon’s Prime Day Sale

Author Aimee Thomas

It’s that time of the year again when Amazon’s Prime members can take advantage of awesome deals and discounts on Prime Day sales. This year, the sale will take place on October 10th and 11th, and it’s the perfect time for you to get some amazing deals on brands like Dyson, Sony, and LG. So, if you want to get a head start on your holiday shopping this year, maybe Prime Day will be for you to save some money and get some things done early.

Amazon offers a 30-day free trial

First things first, you need to be a Prime member to enjoy the exclusive deals that come with Prime Day. If you’re not a member yet, it’s not too late to sign up. You can do it at any time, and Amazon offers a 30-day free trial to give you a taste of what Prime has to offer. Once you become a member, you can shop all the deals available during the 48-hour window.

Now, let’s talk about the deals. During Prime Day, you can expect huge discounts on thousands of items ranging from random gag gifts to electronics, home appliances, cute clothes, and so much more. Some of the most popular deals are those on electronics, so if you’re planning to upgrade your TV, smartphone, or laptop, Prime Day might be when you want to do it.

One of the best things about Prime Day is that you can save on top brands that don’t usually go on sale, especially on Amazon. Amazon’s Prime also offers other benefits that you can enjoy during the sale. One of the most popular is free shipping on all Prime-eligible items. So if you plan on buying a bunch of different items you will save a ton of money on shipping alone!

October 10th and 11th

Last but definitely not least, it’s super important to keep an eye out for the lightning deals! These are discounts that are only available for a short amount of time, usually a few hours or until the item runs out of stock. The discounts can be as high as 80%, and they can include anything from kitchen appliances to beauty products. So pay attention save money and happy Prime Day!

7 Silly Things You Can Buy Online

Ah the internet. It’s a wonderous place where you can make a pen pal with someone clear across the globe, watch an endless array of movies, shows and videos, and have the ability to buy the most ridiculous things 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Not since Home Shopping Network has shopping at home been so dangerous, but here we are in 2022. You can buy some pretty crazy things online at the click of a button. From having a random celebrity say your name, to buying yourself a couple inches, to eating your Cheez-Its “hands free”. The options are endless.

Well if you’ve been looking for silly ways to spend your money, fear not. We’ve boiled down the goofiest conversation starters (or if you’re single, enders) that money can buy. Some of it is hilarious. Some of it is frivolous. All of it is less money in your pocket.

    You know what, this isn’t dumb. This is outstanding. You put in their name (the list is massive) and age, and you’ll get the e-card of all e-cards from Weird Al. We are Hallmark people, but good on American Greetings.
