One of the most eagerly anticipated days in the shopping calendar is almost here - Amazon Prime Day.
Monday and Tuesday June 21 and 22, shoppers who have signed up to Amazon’s fast delivery service Prime will get access to exclusive deals across a wide range of products, from beauty and homeware to tech.
Prime Day deals are coded in blue so you’ll be able to quickly spot these deals, and there will also be lightning deals for extra savings during the day. You’ll be able to grab a bargain on everything from technology, clothing and every day essentials. Don’t forget to log in early to see the best deals as stock may be limited and some products may sell out quickly, but also remember to keep checking throughout the day as new deals will be added.
You can also save £10 on Prime Day when you spend £10 with small businesses, so you’ll feel good about supporting independent businesses but you’ll also have more money in the bank.
Of course, the biggest price drops will happen on the day itself - June 21, but there are already some excellent deals to be found.
