As Amazon Prime Day approaches, it’s time to gear up for some fantastic deals on baby and parenting essentials. From July 8 to July 11, you can score big discounts on everything from car seats to diapers. With my experience covering Prime Day for six years, I’ve gathered some valuable tips to help you make the most of your shopping spree.
1. Take Advantage of Your Registry Completion Discount
If you or your partner is expecting, signing up for an Amazon baby registry is a must. It grants you a 15% completion discount on items you still need after your baby shower. Even without a shower, you can create a private registry and apply this discount toward larger purchases like strollers or cribs. While you can’t stack this discount with Prime Day deals, it’s a helpful tool to keep in mind for smarter shopping.
2. Keep an Eye on Lightning Deals
During Prime Day, Amazon features limited-time Lightning Deals that can offer deep discounts on popular items. Be sure to set alerts for items you want, so you can grab them before they sell out. This is where the savings can really add up!
3. Compare Prices Ahead of Time
Before Prime Day, check prices on items you’re interested in to see if the Prime Day discounts are genuine. Use price tracking tools to help you determine if you’re really getting a deal or just a mediocre markdown. This way, you can avoid impulse buys that aren’t worth it.
4. Sign Up for Amazon Prime
If you haven’t already, consider signing up for Amazon Prime. Not only do you get early access to Prime Day deals, but you’ll also enjoy benefits like free shipping on eligible items. If you’re not a member yet, remember that you can often try it for free for a limited time.
5. Stay Organized
Create a list of must-have items before the event. This will help you stay focused and avoid overspending. Plus, it’ll ensure you don’t miss out on any essentials that are on your list.
