Amazon's Prime Day is full of inconsistent and misleading deals, but there are ways to make sure you're getting the most money off that those household needs you've been eyeing. When Amazon’s big shopping holiday, Prime Day, rolls around now twice a year we’re incentivized to not fall for any bad deals now TWICE a year!
Getting an honest deal this Prime Day means dragging your finger away from the big, yellow “buy” button and taking the time to comprehend each product’s price and discount compared to its recent past. Amazon’s big holiday is full to the brim with puffery and claims of “biggest sale ever.” You look at slashed prices and think they seem like great deals, but too often, those same products linger at that sale price for months on end, even without Prime Day.
If you’re looking for a place to see past prices on Amazon products, I suggest using Camelcamelcamel. Another option that offers more pricing specifics is Keepa. It’s a free application you can get as a browser extension or as an app on Android and iOS. Keepa uses a more interactive graph that also shows prices on each Amazon store page’s used items if there are any. You can also use it to track prices on specific products over time.
