The best Prime Day offers right now

For the moment, let's take a look at the current batch of contracts entered into by Amazon before the deadline, starting with the one announced last week: Spend $ 10 at Whole Foods and get a $ 10 Amazon credit for Prime Day.

While you're here, here's how to make sure do not miss a Prime Day Sale you look for, your secret weapon on the first day and how to save even more than expected on the first day. Note that CNET may obtain a share of the revenues from the sale of the products and services presented on this page.

Now that you know what's going on today, let's take a look at what to expect in the coming weeks – and how you can make sure you get the best deals. (Also, make sure you do not miss anything.)

Should I sign up for Amazon Prime now?

As noted earlier, the big sale is exclusively for Amazon Prime subscribers and an annual subscription costs $ 119 (or $ 13 per month if you do not want to pay all at once).

Is it worth it? If you only get it for the First Day, then probably not. I'm here to tell you that Amazon products are on sale All the time. (Example: Amazon Echo was recently reduced to $ 50, the lowest price ever – and it had nothing to do with Prime Day.)

But Prime offers many other benefitsincluding free night delivery on many products (and two days on most others) and many Prime Video movies and TV shows.

If you do not want to pay Premium but want to access Prime Day offers, here's a strategy: sign up to take advantage of Amazon's 30-day free trial. The only problem: it's only for new subscribers. Therefore, if you have already participated in the test or if you have already been a member, you can not get another test.

What other types of agreements should I expect?

The largest discounts are likely to apply to Amazon products and brands, including the full line of Echo speakers, Fire tablets and Fire TV streamers, Kindle readers, Blink cameras, and more. Amazon said it expects "the biggest Prime Day transactions ever made on Alexa-compatible devices".

But other sellers will take advantage of the event to offer selling prices, hence the "more than a million offers" that Amazon has promised for the next year. event.

Will Prime Day 2019 lead to lower prices for Amazon devices compared to Prime Day 2018? Or a day in between? We will have to wait and see.

For now, and for comparison purposes, here are some current prices and their counterparts from Prime Day 2018:

* Articles already on sale are shown in bold.

In my opinion, we will see similar prices for Prime Day 2019 on most of these items, but maybe some even better deals. In fact, the Fire TV cube recently cost $ 20 less than last year and, as noted above, the Echo full-size smart speaker was recently sold between $ 50 and $ 20 less than Prime Day. 2018!

Where and how to shop Prime Day

You do not need to sit in front of your computer for shopping in Prime Day. For example, if you have a Alexa-compatible device (for example, a Fire tablet or an Echo smart speaker), you can ask Alexa for Prime Day offers – some of which may only be available through a voice purchase.

Amazon mobile apps, meanwhile, will allow you to enter offers on the go. And if you are near a Whole Foods, you may be able to benefit from an additional discount on Prime Day. In 2018, Prime subscribers received a $ 10 credit for Whole Foods. At a minimum, you will get "10% extra on hundreds of items on sale," according to Amazon.

Finally, do not forget to make a charitable donation: the Amazon Smile program is a free and easy way to donate part of your purchase to any charity. Simply start your shopping experience at smile.amazon.com instead of www.amazon.com. (While you're there, find other ways to give to charity without even trying.)
