Amazon launched its 48-hour Prime Day event. The deals are hot, and so is the competition.

July is fast becoming a month steeped in shopping deals. Amazon, Walmart, Target and other retailers launch summer events, and Consumer Reports finds top-tested products on deep discounts.

Before you start clicking your way through Amazon Prime Day, here are a few tips to help you land real deals and avoid overspending and hype.

Happy Prime Day! Not sure where to start or why you should care? Let us explain.

Amazon is promising two days of epic deals during its Prime Day, and competitors are getting in on the summer sales. It's a win for shoppers as long as you look for the real deals and don't just follow the hype.

June is a prime time to score some deals on top-rated strollers, drills, smart watches and even sunscreen.

Amazon said Wednesday that it will hold its annual Prime Day over two days in June this year, the earliest it has ever held the sales event.

Amazon Prime Days are here, and as the author of this story, I have to tell you: I did a LOT more online purchasing than I planned on, just while sitting around my house in quarantine last year.

You can get them all on Amazon, and since it’s Prime Day, why not treat yourself to something special for your kitchen? Instant Pots are insanely popular, so if you already have one, you know just how versatile this kitchen appliance can be. It’s really great for steaming veggies, too. Really nice Dutch ovens can get really expensive, but this one on Amazon is a reasonable price, and it’s a great quality. Having both of these items in your kitchen will be great additions.

Charcoal toothpaste has been making the rounds for a while now, so I had to see what the hype was about. Stop buying those (wasteful) throw-away makeup wipes -- this is what you need instead. “(These are) the best and strongest of all the wipes, well-priced, and they are great for so many things. I had about a million moms recommend this stuff, and after trying a few competitors' products, came to confirm that it's truly the best. Email us with your product recommendations and all the reasons why you swear by the stuff.

NEW YORK – Halloween is still weeks away, but retailers are hoping you'll start your holiday shopping now. The big push is coming from Amazon, which is holding its annual Prime Day sales event Tuesday and Wednesday, kickstarting the holiday shopping season. It’s the first time Prime Day has been held in the fall, after the pandemic forced it to postpone from July. Whether people will start shopping early remains to be seen. This year's Prime Day is in 19 countries, including two new ones: Brazil and Turkey.

SAN ANTONIO – It’s fun to get great deals during a shopping event like Amazon Prime Day, but scammers are looking for unsuspecting customers in an effort to get information or money. The Better Business Bureau is warning consumers who are doing their shopping on Amazon.com during Prime Day so they can avoid becoming victims to scammers. The BBB says the scammers will call you with an issue on your Amazon account. Problems range from fraudulent charges on your Prime Card to unfulfilled orders for expensive products. The con artists will then ask for information, such as credit card numbers or Amazon account details.

Amazon pushed its mega sale event called Prime Day from July to October 13-14, prompting other big retailers to scooch up their Black Friday and other sale events. “We’re going to see a lot of tech deals, home goods and toys, as well, because Amazon is using Prime Day this year to kick off the holiday shopping season,” said Samantha Gordon, deal-hunting guru for Consumer Reports. Target is promoting its Deal Days to coincide with Prime Day October 13-14. “I’ve always said Black Friday starts November first. This year, it starts Prime Day.”Prime Day deals are only available to Prime members.

After a year filled with uncertainty surrounding the coronavirus pandemic, Amazon has officially announced the dates for its annual Prime Day which offers massive discounts site-wide. The coronavirus pandemic pushed Prime Day 2020 back a few months, as the usually scheduled date in July was postponed. Amazon has hardly seen a drop in sales since the start of the pandemic - in fact, it’s been quite the opposite. Sales increased by 40% in the second quarter compared to 2019, according to Amazon.
