If you’ve held off on buying that air fryer, rowing machine, or mattress, we’ve got excellent news for you: Amazon just announced official dates for Prime Day 2023. This year, it’ll fall on Tuesday, July 11, and Wednesday, July 12.
You don’t need to wait until then to fill your cart, however, as Amazon is offering stellar early sales leading up to the main event. A word to the wise: Prime Day can be chaotic, with lightning deals starting and stopping at all hours, so it’s never a bad idea to get a head start on shopping.
What’s Amazon Prime Day?
Since 2015, Amazon has offered discounts on a wide range of products for two days, including best-selling tech gadgets, kitchen appliances, fitness equipment, clothing, sex toys, skin care, and more. (It honestly feels like just about everything on the site is marked down.) The massive sale is a perk of being a Prime member (that and free shipping).
Prime Day is a smart time to shop, as you can usually find some of the steepest price drops of the year. Last July we saw hefty markdowns on products like Vitamix blenders, Bose headphones, Apple Watches, Crest Whitestrips, Ugg slippers, and NordicTrack treadmills.
