MARTIN Lewis’ MoneySavingExpert.com (MSE) has predicted some Amazon Prime Day deals including Shark and GHD items.
Amazon Prime Day will be taking place next week and shoppers might want to plan ahead for the big day.
Prime Day will be happening just next week on Tuesday 11th and Wednesday 12th of July – so get those dates in your diaries now.
Deals will kick off at 12.01 am on Tuesday morning, and finish at midnight on Wednesday.
While Amazon is keeping the majority of its deals under wraps, Martin’s MSE shared a few offers it thinks shoppers will be able to take advantage of.
The money saving site also gave its predictions for what could be up for grabs but said this was just largely based on guesswork.
The MSE team predicts a lot of the offers will focus on Amazon’s own products, such as the Echo or its doorbells.
“We expect to see devices such as the Fire TV range, Echo speakers, Kindles and Fire tablets with up to 60% off the RRP.
“For example, last year the Fire TV Stick 4K was £22.99 (RRP £49.99) and the Echo Dot (4th generation) was £19.99 (RRP £49.99) – both were the cheapest we’d ever seen them.”
It also predicted a load of other potential offers including 50% off on Fitbits, up to 30% off on GHD items and up to 40% off on Shark items.
It said that last year Amazon Prime Day had the Fitbit Inspire 2 going to £42.74 down from £89.99 while the GHD Gold Styler went for £111.70, down from £169.
Amazon was also selling Shark items for up to 40% off.
MSE said that last year, the Shark IZ103UKGB cordless stick vacuum was £179.99 and was originally £319.99.
It also issued some tips for shoppers planning on making use of the deals.
MSE said: “While there are strong deals, there are also some duds.
“For example, last year we spotted a Philips Lumea hair removal device for £320 during Prime Day, but it was much cheaper at £280 several months earlier.”
If you want to shop the Amazon Prime Day deals, you’ll need to sign up to become an Amazon Prime member, which you can do here.
Amazon’s subscription service comes with a lot of perks, including free next-day delivery (and even same-day delivery in certain postcodes).
You can also get access to Prime Video, Amazon’s ever-growing streaming service of movies and TV shows.
Amazon also offers members early access to its 24-hour ‘lightning’ deals (something that’s ramped up dramatically during Prime Day itself).
Of course, Prime comes with a cost: £8.99 a month, or £95 a year for a 12-month plan – but it also has a 30-day free trial period.
That’s more than enough time to cancel if you fancy picking up some exclusive bargains during Prime Day.
Unsurprisingly, Amazon doesn’t make the cancellation process easy – but we’ve got step-by-step instructions in our how to cancel Amazon Prime article.
