What Prime Day Sales Can We Expect?
A great predictor of the future is the past. That’s why we’re looking at the top Prime Day deals from 2019 to predict what could go on sale during Prime Day 2020. Look for great deals on the following items.
Amazon hardware is usually available at a big discount on Prime Day. Look for savings on Fire TV editions of smart TVs. For example, this 50-inch Insignia 4K TV is likely to be discounted as one of the best deals of Amazon Prime Day 2019 was $100 off a Toshiba 1080p Fire TV.
Savings on Amazon hardware have actually already started. As part of an Early Prime Day deal, the company is selling two 3rd generation Echo Dots for just $39.99. Keep an eye on products like these, as they’re likely discounted deeply once Prime Day 2020 officially begins.
Many companies offer discounts of their own on Prime Day to keep up with Amazon. Last year, Apple hardware (including iPads and MacBooks) was on sale for up to 50%. You may be able to purchase a new iPad or MacBook for a similar price this year.
Instant Pot is another brand that regularly discounts its products on Prime Day. The company was selling its pressure cookers for as much as 60% off in 2019. If you need a new Instant Pot, then keep an eye on this Amazon product link when Prime Day starts.
Deals on gaming hardware, supplies, and accessories are also very common on Prime Day. This year the Playstation 5 and Xbox Series X are the hottest items in gaming, but don’t expect to find sales on these newest systems. However, don’t be surprised if current-gen consoles like the Playstation 4 are discounted heavily.
Prime Day 2020 could also be a great opportunity to purchase a Ring Video Doorbell at a heavy discount. Last year, Ring products were discounted by as much as 40%. Expect to see these available at a similar discount this year.
You should also keep an eye on Bose Bluetooth Speakers. Last year, this Amazon exclusive SoundLink Bose Bluetooth Speaker was discounted $40! It’s a good bet that if not this speaker exactly, at least a few Bluetooth speakers will go on sale during Prime Day 2020.
Software was also heavily discounted on Prime Day 2019. This Adobe Creative Cloud Bundle was listed at $599.88 instead of its normal $953.88. Be sure to check this link when Prime Day 2020 starts to see if a similar discount is available.
You could also save on personal care products like this Oral-B 7000 SmartSeries Electric Toothbrush. It was available for $79.89 last Prime Day instead of its usual price of $129.94.
Or, use Prime Day 2020 as an opportunity to invest in a new vacuum for your home. This Dyson Ball Animal 2 was $100 off during Prime Day 2019.
Finally, you should also keep an eye out for deals on AncestryDNA Genetic Tests. The product usually costs $119.00. During Prime Day 2019, it was available for just $69.00.
