How to find early Prime Day deals
Look beyond the hype
A trade that is trending is not always the best trade. Focus on actual value, not popularity.
Prioritize usefulness
The strongest early sales tend to be on items you use regularly, from household essentials to daily skin care.
Compare similar products
In some cases, the better value may be the better deal at checkout, rather than the most well-known item.
