You’ll probably find solid deals on non-tech-related devices as well, such as Amazon Basics housewares or fashion items sold in “The Drop.” BUY HOT TOYS NOW … BUT WAIT FOR TECH Toy deals
typically get better as the holiday season wears on, but for the hottest toys, you run the risk of the item selling out before you get a chance to buy it. Among the items most likely to sell
out this year, according to RetailMeNot, are Magic Mixies, gaming consoles such as Nintendo Switch OLED and PS5, and branded Lego sets, such as those featuring Harry Potter and Marvel
characters. If your kid (or grandkid) has their heart set on one of those items, you might consider paying a little more for the comfort of knowing you’ll be able to deliver. On the other
hand, if you’re looking for tech devices such as televisions (aside from the Fire TVs discussed above), hold off. Historically, the best deals of the year on those items come later in the
holiday shopping season. “With Black Friday and Cyber Monday around the corner, consumers should aim to avoid purchasing electronics, such as smartphones and laptops, since deals on those
items will be better during the Black Friday weekend,” says Brad Godwin, senior vice president at shopping rewards app Shopkick. CHECK OUT THE COMPETITION During previous Prime sales events,
many of Amazon’s competitors launched their own simultaneous sales with discounts that rival those of the online sales giant. Walmart, for example, said it will unveil “Rollbacks and More”
from Oct. 10 to 13, and Kohl’s will host a “Deal Dash” event with extra sales on Oct. 11 to 12 . Before clicking “buy” on your Amazon cart, take a minute to see whether the item is priced
lower elsewhere. “While many of Amazon’s own devices and products will see the biggest price decreases on Prime Day 2, Target and Walmart sell similar, competitor options,” Woroch says. “For
instance, you will probably find a great deal on an Echo Show at Amazon, but you can find a similar deal on a Google Nest Hub at a competitor site.”
