Getting the most out of the Amazon mid-year sale
To really capitalise on the savings, you need to clue up on the offerings. Particularly as Amazon offers a few different types of deals.
Deals under $25 — These are great if you’re on a budget but don’t want to miss out on scoring yourself a bargain. There’s everything from Nintendo controllers and Nerf guns to bumper packs of laundry detergent and women’s lingerie. Yes, it’s quite varied!
Lightning Deals — These are the promotions that appear for a limited time only and only while stocks last. But, just a warning, you need to be quick-as-lightning to snap up these ones. Lightning Deals are available until either the promotion period for the deal expires or all the available promotional discounts are claimed. They’re also limited to one purchase per Lightning Deal. This just ensures as many people as possible can enjoy the great savings available.
Tip: If a lightning deal sells out there is the option to click the “Join Waitlist” button on the product page to receive a notification if more stock is released. What’s more, if you become an Amazon Prime member, you can access some Lightening Deals exclusively and some 30 minutes ahead of time. Cool eh?
Deals of the Day – These are 24-hour deals (or while stocks last) with massive savings on popular products.
Shop smart
It’s easy to go a little overboard when shopping online. One click to the shopping cart can easily escalate into multiple clicks and suddenly you’ve spent $3,000. Whoopsie. Here are a few ways you can get the bargain without the buyer’s remorse.
- Take stock – Have a look at what you need for your home before you start searching for sales
- Choose quality (when it’s on special) – Good quality items will last you a long time (and make your home seem extra fancy) but it’s always best to buy when they are on sale.
- Make a list for later – What gifts will you be needing later in the year? Birthday presents? Christmas gifts? Are there any upcoming baby showers or weddings this year? Get your gifts during the sales and you’re sorted for later.
