Why should you buy batteries on Prime Day

With the holiday season coming up, you’re going to need tons of batteries for your elaborate Christmas decorations and your kids’ new toys. Why stress out and shop them at the last minute when you can simply stock up on right now? Certain large counts of batteries from big brands like Energizer are even seeing discounts as much as 20% off. Other brands like Duracell and even Amazon’s own brand, Amazon Basics, are receiving discounts on many of their battery products. You can even find ‘subscribe and save’ options if you need a steady delivery of batteries this holiday season. With all the current deal offerings, there really won’t be a better time to find such a wide variety of batteries in stock at such low prices.

If you’re thinking of waiting to shop for your necessities until Black Friday deals arrive, our advice is that you should try to avoid that. There’s a possibility that there won’t be as many battery options during Black Friday as there are over Prime Day. Plus, a lot of shoppers who might be thinking the same as you might drive the demand up, rendering all the batteries you need out of stock. You might also face shipping delays as demand is always higher during Black Friday so if you’re trying to have your Christmas lights shining by the first week of December, it’s best to shop your batteries right now. These batteries also won’t be any cheaper during Black Friday, so don’t let that keep you from shopping these Prime Day battery deals right now.

Which Amazon Echo should you buy on Prime Day 2022?

Echo Show 15 with base.

There was a time when it was easy to choose which Amazon Echo device to buy because there wasn’t much of a selection. These days, Amazon has an entire stable of devices ready to respond and carry out your commands. That makes things a bit trickier for those who are looking to pick up their first (or add another) Echo device among Prime Day Amazon Echo deals. You can also review some of the best deals year round.

We’ve tested and tried each Echo device to find the best of the lot. This year, we think it’s the Echo Show 10. With its high-quality 360-degree speaker, a large screen, and the ability to pan around the room to double as a security camera or video conferencing dynamo, it’s a great all-around choice. Even so, depending on how you want to use an Echo Show and how much space you have, there’s certainly a case to be made for other Echo devices.

Prime Day vs. Black Friday: When’s the best time to shop?

Two of the biggest sales events of the year are Amazon's Prime Day and Black Friday, but how do you know which is the best one to shop? And are there key differences between the two events? With Prime Day coming up fast now that the Prime Day date for 2022 has been confirmed, you may be thinking you should favor that sale. Read on as we weigh up Prime Day versus Black Friday and explain everything you need to know about the two sales events.
What is Prime Day?
Prime Day is Amazon's annual sales event to mark its birthday. It's exclusively for Amazon Prime members rather than anyone with an Amazon account, but it's possible to access the deals via an Amazon Prime free trial if you subscribe at the same time as the event.

After two years of the event moving around due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Prime Day 2022 returns to its traditional July slot and will run July 12 and July 13. As well as that, there will be early deals commencing June 21 in the run up to the big event.
