Amazon Prime Day has officially launched today (July 16 to 17) with savings on everything from tech, home and kitchen, fashion and beauty. While there are savings to be had, you should only part ways with your cash if you already had plans to buy a product. You should also always compare prices first so you know you're actually getting a bargain - just because something is in the Amazon Prime Day sale, it doesn't mean you can't find it cheaper elsewhere.
But you don't necessarily need to wait until Prime Day to save money on Amazon. We round up ten ways to save cash, from “secret” discount pages to ways to get free Amazon Prime. Follow our Amazon Prime Day live blog for the latest deals CamelCamelCamel tracks prices on Amazon over time, so you can see when the item you're looking to buy was at its lowest.
Other comparison websites that check a wider range of retailers include PriceSpy and PriceRunner . You can also use Google to compare prices by typing in the exact name and model of the product you're after. If you're planning on making a purchase during Prime Day, but you're not signed up to Amazon Prime, now might be the time to take advantage of a free 30-day trial.
Just keep in mind that if you don't cancel you subscription before your trial is up, you'll be charged the monthly fee. Amazon Prime costs £8.99 a month, or £95 for a yearly membership.
If you don't have Prime, you need to spend £35 to get free delivery. This applies to products dispatched by Amazon. If.
