How to Prep for Amazon Prime Day and Big Sale Events

Big sale events like Prime Day, Black Friday and Cyber Monday are fantastic — if you go in with a plan. Here's a simple checklist to save real money and skip the regret purchases.

Before the sale

• Make a list of things you actually need or have been meaning to buy
• Note the usual price of each so you can tell a real deal from a fake one
• Add items to a wishlist so they're one tap away when the event starts

During the sale

• Check price history before buying — some "deals" are only small drops
• Look for clippable coupons that stack on the sale price
• Ignore the countdown pressure — most popular deals repeat or restock

After the sale

• Track your orders and watch for further price drops within the return window
• Return and rebuy if something you bought drops again shortly after
