Our Prime Day coverage is officially underway, and we're all over it. Major retailers like Best Buy, Walmart, and Target have their own competition sales live as well, so make sure to check them out when you get a chance. Remember to check price tracking tools, so you can trust that the sales we're talking about are actually good deals, and not just hype designed to fool you.
Remember, you need to be a Prime Member to have access to all of Amazon's Prime Day deals and to get free shipping. Prime membership starts at $14.99 per month ($139 per year) and comes with more benefits than people think. It's easy to figure out if a yearly Prime membership is worth it for you, but remember, you can always cancel your Prime membership once the sale is over, as Amazon offers free 30-day trials. In theory, you can shop the whole event and still have time to cancel before you get charged.
