Amazon Prime Day 2024 is July 16-17 and is inarguably, the online retailer’s biggest shopping event of the year. Bargain shoppers can score epic discounts and best of all, the lowest prices of the season on products in every category.
If you want to beat the pinch of inflation and/or beat the back-to-school rush, you don’t want to miss Amazon’s Prime Day sale. It’s one of the best savings events in which you’ll find great deals on big-ticket items and must-have tech.
In the spirit of competition, rivaling retailers Best Buy, Target, and Walmart typically put their best summer discounts forward to lure you away from Prime Day. I’ve been covering major sales like Prime Day and Black Friday for six years and here’s a little tidbit. In some instances, Prime Day deals beat or match prices we typically see on Black Friday.
For example, Amazon just slashed the Apple MacBook Air M3 to an all-time low price of $899 ($200 off). This price cut arrives just hours before Prime Day and marks the MacBook Air M3’s lowest price ever on Amazon.
While Best Buy mirrors this deal, My Best Buy Plus members save an extra $50 to drop the MacBook Air M3 to $849 ($250 off). This marks a new all-time low price for our favorite MacBook since its March 2024 launch.
These are just two of the best Prime Day MacBook deals that are now live before Prime Day.
With the abundance of tempting Prime Day deals from Amazon and its competitors can be overwhelming. That’s where we come in. We’ve been covering Amazon Prime Day for years and we’re here to help you shop consciously and wisely.

If you own an Amazon tablet like the Fire HD 10 or any other Alexa-enabled device, here’s another pro tip. Shop for Prime Day deals with Alexa and you’ll never have to lift a finger.
Simply summon Alexa to help you find Prime Day deals and shop hands-free. For example, say “Alexa, what are my Prime Day deals?”
Amazon Wish List
When you’re shopping during Prime Day — or on any other day for that matter, it’s a good idea to make a list of what you want to buy just like you make a shopping list for grocery shopping, you can make an Amazon Wish List for Prime Day shopping.
This will help you keep track of what you want and prevent you from buying items that you don’t need. Creating a Prime Day Wish List is easy. From any Amazon page, navigate to “Account & Lists” and select “Create a List”. Name your list “Prime Day 2024” and select the “Create List” button. Search for any product you like and select “Add to list”.
