Bargain shoppers, it's that time of the year again! Amazon Prime Day is right around the corner, and we've got the lowdown on everything you need to know. Mark your calendars and set those alarms, because the annual shopping extravaganza kicks off on July 16 at 3 p.m. ET and will last all the way through July 17. That means 36 hours of nonstop online shopping (OK, maybe with a few breaks for food and whatnot in between), which is six more hours than last year's Prime Day event. Heck yes!
Prime members will be able to take advantage of more than one million deals (yep, one million) on televisions, toys, furniture, appliances, groceries, and more. Learn a bit more about the day (and a half) of discounted online shopping. Who's ready to get ahead on their holiday shopping?

A Few Tips For Making the Most of Prime Day
- Keeping an Eye on Deals: Using the Amazon app allows you to preview, shop, and track the deals you're most passionate about. Plus, you can enable alerts, so if a deal begins while you're out and about, you can still take advantage of it on the go. Learn more about how this works here.
- How to Get a Sneak Peek: If you have the Amazon app, you can get a sneak peek at the deals from July 9-15. Simply tap on the Prime Day banner within the app and scroll through the products that will be discounted starting on July 16.
- Use Alexa: Don't feel like looking through Prime Day deals yourself? Just ask, "Alexa, what are my Prime Day deals?" You can also use Alexa to track your delivery progress.
