Prime Day Shopping: Top Items To Grab And Skip

Today starts another Amazon Prime Day. This time it's Days, with an "s". The deals are on today through Friday. June 23-26. There are definitely some things that are absolutely worth the buy, and with that said there are some things that you should absolutely avoid.

WHAT ARE THINGS THAT YOU SHOULD BUY DURING PRIME DAYS

According to NBC News and someone who has been covering Prime day events for years, these are the things that you should consider buying if you want to take advantage of Prime Days.

Some of the best deals will be from things that are Amazon owned.

54% off the Amazon Fire TV Stick HD
48% off the Amazon Smart Plug
65% off the Blink Outdoor 4 (5 camera system)
30% off the Amazon Echo Dot
38% off the Ring Indoor Cam (2 pack)

If you are into tech, both home and personal, you can probably score some great deals on those items. Some examples are:

28% off the Apple Watch Series 11
40% off the Marshall Action III Bluetooth Home Speaker
23% off the Kodak PIXPRO FZ45 Digital Camera
33% off the Bose Ultra Open Earbuds

If you are like me and looking for some new small home appliances, you can get some great deals on those items too. Think vacuum cleaners, something like a Roomba, maybe some Ninja brand items like an instant pot, air fryer or an ice cream maker. There are also some home essentials that you can score some great deals on too.

WHAT ARE THINGS THAT YOU SHOULD AVOID - NOT A GREAT DEAL

Try to avoid purchasing some back to school items now. They will actually be better priced closer to actual back to school dates. Also, avoid some bigger home items like a mattress or something like that.

Video games are not a great buy right now either. That's also an item that should wait until closer to back to school, or even for the holidays as gifts. The prices are usually better at that time, at least according to this study.

If you shop like me, you buy what you need, and if you can get a great deal on it, awesome! But if you need it now, just get it. But if it's an item you can wait on until it's a better deal, then wait. The good thing is the Amazon usully lets you know what the discount is when you purchase.

You have now (today) through Friday to check it out, make a plan and get those deals!
