This year you can tell that Amazon is trying to make up for the huge disappointment that last year’s Prime Day brought consumers. You may not have checked out the deals this year because last year’s deals were reminiscent of a warehouse garage sale.

To help you out in your search, this post will be updated throughout the day to help you find the best deals of Amazon Prime Day in the categories that matter to you. In addition, catch my tips for using online deals to make your life easier below.

Tips

Saving money only works if you have a plan. Don’t go spending your hard earned money until you choose a focus and set goals. If you don’t do that first, you will be wasting money. Here are some ideas to help you get focused:

1. Prepare for the Holidays – These deals are a great chance to get an early jump on your holiday shopping. This is my favorite way to utilize these kinds of sales. Check out the gift planner on our VIP Page before you start so you can keep track of all of your purchases. (Not subscribed yet? Sign up here for access to your VIP library of free resources.)
2. Get Organized – This year there are tons of options to help you save on getting organized. If you’ve been Organizing Your Life from A to Z, this is a great way to do so on a budget!
3. Prepare for Vacation – Get your family vacation ready with deals on items like air mattresses and technology. You can even find deals on items to put in your Road Trip Survival Bag for Kids (or get some of those splurge items that make life on the road easier).
4. Professional Development – These sales are great to build up your tools, resources, and even your skills. You can upgrade your camera and invest in a lighting kit. Purchase development tools such as a foreign language software or professional books. 

Again, the best way to save the maximum amount of money is to have a clear and concise focus that you do not deviate from. These are just a few ideas for narrowing your purchase scope. Use them as starting points to find the perfect buying focus for your current needs.
