How do you know if you’re getting a good deal?

Prime Day may be known for its discounts, but like any buying holiday, it’s up to the consumer to make sure they’re actually getting a good deal. In general, we’ve seen some really great discounts on Xbox consoles, Amazon Echo devices, Instant Pots, and 4K TVs. However, there are quite a few discounts floating around that won’t really be saving you very much money. To help you out, here are some tips for spotting a good deal:

Filter your deals through a trusted source

The easiest way to ensure you find the best possible discounts 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 great 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

If you find yourself staring down a set of pots and pans, an air fryer, or a gorgeous soundbar but aren’t sure if it’s the best possible price available, head to Google. 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

This may seem like a labor-intensive process, but it’s actually really easy to do. 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 or not you’re getting the best deal historically or not.

Read the fine print and comments

Shopping online is a lot less dangerous than it used to be, but that doesn’t mean you can just stop reading the fine print. 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 discounts on refurbished tech.

The best Xbox Series X and Series S deals for January 2023
Microsoft Xbox Series X and Series S game consoles.

For gamers who are on the hunt for Xbox Series X deals or Xbox Series S deals, patience is a necessity because it won't be easy to discover discounts for Microsoft's new consoles. The prices of the Series X and Series S consoles are even higher than their suggested retail prices from some retailers because there's high demand for them, in addition to dwindling stocks. Such supply-and-demand forces are also affecting gamers who are looking for PlayStation deals that involve the PlayStation 5. Officially, Microsoft and its authorized retailers sell Xbox Series X and Series S console at list prices -- $500 for the Series X and $300 for the Series S. That's a fact, but there's a twist. Since Microsoft launched the new video game consoles last November, shipments have usually sold out in minutes. Some believe the supply-and-demand imbalance may be easing because, in some cases, big-box retailers such as Best Buy and Target are able to keep the Series X and Series S in stock for a couple of hours. You can take your chances on finding a Series X or Series S console at list price today, but you'll be competing with multitudes of other buyers, many of whom set product availability alerts when the consoles are in stock. Stay vigilant, and you'll get your new console!
Best Xbox Series X and Series S deals
Xbox Series S Holiday Edition -- $240, was $299

Walmart has had the holiday version of the Xbox Series S on sale for over a month now. The only difference between the holiday version and the regular version is the pattern on the cardboard box it comes in, so this is the same essential console. The Xbox Series S is the little brother of the Series X. It's a bit less powerful and doesn't have a disc drive, but it's still a next-gen console that will help you play all the modern games you've been itching to try out. The holidays have been over for a long time now, so this deal will likely only last until Walmart runs out of stock. Grab it soon!
