Our experts and editors recommend loading your carts now to save the most during Prime Day
Prime Day is Amazon’s huge mid-summer sale to end all sales — and it's happening early this year. The official dates are June 23-26, and honestly, it can be hectic for shoppers hunting for significant markdowns. One of the most frequent questions we hear is, "How can I make sure I'm getting the best possible deal?"
BestReviews has consistently offered one piece of advice to help readers conquer the craziness: Add the products you’re most excited to shop for to your cart before Prime Day starts, then watch the deals during the event. By doing this, you’ll be able to watch how much the items are marked down while the sale is happening and strike when they’re at the lowest price.

Tips for finding the best Prime Day sales
We are also consistently asked, "How do you know when a deal is at its best price during Prime Day?" The short answer is that it’s impossible to know with 100 percent certainty, as prices fluctuate constantly throughout the event. But here are some quick ground rules we advocate:
- More expensive products won’t be marked down as much percentage-wise. If you see something that costs hundreds of dollars and is discounted by 15% or more, that’s a good sign to buy. This is especially true for brand-name products, like those from Apple or Dyson.
- For products that are $50 or less, you want to see them marked down even more. Look for 30% or more.
- The cheapest items, like toys, are worth waiting for the 50% off marker.
- If it’s marked as a lightning deal, do not wait. That will be the best price you will get.
