Amazon\u2019s Prime Big Deal Days is one of the biggest shopping events of the year, and it\u2019s returning October 7th and 8th<\/a>. The two-day shopping affair will grant Prime members access to some of the best prices of the year on Amazon devices, as well as products from Sony, Sonos, Microsoft, Apple, Withings, and other well-known brands. This applies to items spanning a range of categories, including gaming peripherals, laptops, 4K TVs, phones, PC accessories, and more.<\/p>\n

  1. Use a price-tracking tool or deal aggregator<\/a><\/li>\n
  2. Set up deal alert notifications through Alexa or the Amazon app<\/a><\/li>\n
  3. Look for deals outside of Amazon<\/a><\/li>\n
  4. Trust the experts<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    As always, you can count on us to publish only the best deals during Prime Big Deal Days \u2014 as well as any worthwhile ones featured at Walmart, Best Buy, Target, and other competing retailers. That said, if you want to be sure you catch any and all deals that are most important to you \u2014 or be among the first to know of certain price drops \u2014 we\u2019ve compiled some helpful tools and advice.<\/p>\n

    Below, we\u2019ve spelled out a few of our best deal-hunting tips, from how to use automated price trackers to the different ways you can set up your own personalized deal alerts. All of these methods and tools are free to use, and once you put in just a little bit of work, you can rest easy knowing that you don\u2019t need to take much action until it comes time to make a purchase.<\/p>\n

    Use a price-tracking tool or deal aggregator<\/h2>\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    CamelCamelCamel<\/a><\/h3>\n

    CamelCamelCamel tracks the price of every product sold on Amazon and can send you alerts only when they reach the price that\u2019s right for you. Once a product reaches the desired price you\u2019ve set (or goes below it), you\u2019ll get an email about it. CamelCamelCamel only <\/em>works for products on Amazon, so you\u2019ll need to use one of the other methods below if you want to track price movement at Walmart, Best Buy, Target, and other retailers.<\/p>\n

    To track prices and get alerts via email, you\u2019ll first need to create a free account. We also suggest installing the site\u2019s browser extension<\/a>, called The Camelizer, which lets you see pricing trends on a product-by-product basis, and allows you to set your desired price without navigating away from Amazon. It\u2019s fantastic and easy to use.<\/p>\n

    And, if you already have a wishlist saved on Amazon,\u00a0you can import it<\/a>\u00a0into CamelCamelCamel.<\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    Slickdeals<\/a><\/h3>\n

    Slickdeals <\/em>aggregates some of the best deals around the internet, as discovered by its team and community of users. It\u2019s a great place to find a curated set of deals on things you might be interested in. The site also allows you to create deal alerts based on keywords, but they work a little differently on Slickdeals <\/em>than they do on the above sites.<\/p>\n

    You can type in a product name, like \u201cSonos Era 100\u201d or a retailer\u2019s name, and once it\u2019s added to your list, you\u2019ll be notified of a deal alert if it meets your criteria. You can set it to alert you to any deal related to your keyword, or you can filter out deals so that you\u2019ll be notified if, for example, the deal is popular enough to make it to Slickdeals\u2019 front page or earned a high rating from the community. Setting these keywords a little too broadly may result in frequent notification pings and emails, though, so you\u2019ll need to use some discretion and find the right balance of how aggressively you want Slickdeals to notify you.<\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    Keepa<\/a><\/h3>\n

    Keepa is another handy tool you can use to track and compare Amazon prices over time. Like CamelCamelCamel, Keepa provides charts that track pricing trends and will alert you when it finds a deal. You can also import any wishlists you\u2019ve previously saved on Amazon.<\/p>\n

    Unlike CamelCamelCamel, however, you don\u2019t necessarily need to create an account in order to track prices with Keepa. You just need to install the extension<\/a>, and Keepa will automatically add a price history graph to supported product listings. The embedded extension features different tabs as well, one of which showcases pricing history and another that allows you to specify various pricing details. Once you\u2019ve set your desired price, you\u2019ll then receive price alerts via email, push notification, or RSS.<\/p>\n

    Set up deal alert notifications through Alexa or the Amazon app<\/h2>\n

    If you\u2019re a Prime member who owns a fourth-gen Echo speaker or a newer model, you can also request<\/a> that Amazon send you deal notifications up to 24 hours ahead of time on products you\u2019re interested in. Amazon can alert you of price drops on eligible products in your shopping cart or wishlist, as well as anything you\u2019ve marked as \u201csaved for later.\u201d To enable the feature, tap More > Settings > Notifications in the Alexa app, and then tap Amazon Shopping.\u00a0Then, scroll down to Shopping Recommendations and enable\u00a0Deal Recommendations. Once done, you\u2019ll receive a notification on both your device and your Echo speaker (the latter in the form of a yellow ring) notifying you of the deal.<\/p>\n

    Alternatively, you can sign up to receive deal alerts<\/a> regarding products you\u2019ve recently viewed in the Amazon Shopping app, as well as those related to your recent search history. If you\u2019re a Prime member, you just need to navigate to the Prime Day event page in the mobile app between now and July 8th to create an alert. Once done, you\u2019ll receive push notifications for any deal(s) you\u2019ve subscribed to when the event begins. You can also just open the Amazon Shopping app and tap Settings > Notifications > Deals and Recommendations before toggling \u201cSavings\u201d and \/ or \u201cRecommendations.\u201d<\/p>\n

    Look for deals outside of Amazon<\/h2>\n

    Prime Day is meant to show off Amazon\u2019s huge retail presence, so, naturally, other retail chains take notice. Because of this, you can sometimes find better deals at retailers like Target, Walmart, and Best Buy. At the very least, they may be able to match Amazon\u2019s pricing if you ask<\/a>.<\/p>\n

    If Amazon\u2019s upcoming sale doesn\u2019t have everything you want or if you just want to make sure you\u2019re getting the best deal, shop around a bit. In the past, Target, Walmart, and Best Buy have hosted their own events in an effort to counter Amazon. And as usual, you\u2019ll be able to find all of our deals coverage in and outside of Amazon here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

    Trust the experts<\/h2>\n

    We\u2019re a discerning bunch here at\u00a0The Verge<\/em>, so don\u2019t fret if you\u2019re going into this without any prep. We\u2019ll be corralling the best tech deals and keeping our coverage up to date in the run-up to the main event. So mark October 7th on your calendar,\u00a0sign up for Amazon Prime<\/a> and our new and improved<\/a> Verge Deals newsletter<\/a>, and maybe start putting aside a little spending cash.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
