Best Prime Day Deals 2019: Walmart, 4K TVs, and Wireless Headphones

Amazon Prime Day deals are finally here. The 48-hour event will continue on through Tuesday and end at midnight PT. With discounts on just about everything from 4K TVs, laptops, smartphones, and Google devices — now is the time to save big. Yesterday’s early access deals on Amazon devices got the ball rolling with price cuts on Echos, Fire TVs, and home security cameras. Today, with the first official day of Prime Day deals, we’re seeing deals on thousands of items including wireless headphones, Nintendo Switch gaming consoles, and Apple products. A couple of the best deals so far: $110 off the Apple Watch Series 3 and $74 off the Instant Pot DUO Plus 60.

Walmart is also having a massive sale. In an attempt to foil Amazon, Walmart launched its own deals event and will have them remain active through Wednesday, July 17, to outlast Amazon’s 48-hour deals event by an extra day. Which is why Prime Day is the largest summer shopping event, only second to Black Friday and Cyber Monday later in the year.

Below, we’ve curated a sampling of the best Prime Day deals for 2019. If you see something you like, act fast as many are Lightning Deals, meaning they will expire or sell out very .

Tips for shopping on Prime Day 2019

Prime Day may be known for its deals, but like any buying holiday, it’s up to the consumer to shop responsibly. To help you out, here are some tips for spotting good deals and avoiding pitfalls so you can make the most of your Amazon Prime membership:

Make sure you aren’t the victim of a phishing scam

Some Amazon Prime members have recently been victimized by a phishing scam just in time for Prime Day. There are some ways to avoid this, but you should watch out for anything suspicious to make sure you don’t get your information stolen.

Filter your deals through a trusted source

The easiest way to ensure you find the best possible deal is to have someone do all the hard work for you. If you bookmark this page for later, we’ll have our entire editorial staff digging through the depths of Amazon to deliver the savings to you. If you have trust issues, though, we’ll let you in on few of the tricks and techniques we use for spotting great deals.

Do a quick Google search

One quick Google search on a specific product will often pull up pricing information across the board. If it’s actually on sale, then prices from the likes of Walmart, Best Buy, and the manufacturer page will likely be higher.

Check price histories

There’s a website called CamelCamelCamel that tracks and displays the price history of any item sold on Amazon. Though this only works for Amazon products, it’s an easy way to see whether you’re getting the best deal historically.

Read the warranty

Warranties, in general, are a way of making you feel safer about making a purchase. But if you don’t actually read what your warranty entails, you may regret it later when it becomes necessary.

Read the fine print and comments

A lot of retailers will hide important details where you are least likely to look. Most commonly, this happens with third-party sellers who are trying to get a leg up on their competition by offering deep savings on refurbished tech.
