Prime Day: the Amazon deals I’d actually buy

Updated · Prices last checked

Amazon’s next sale for Prime members is Prime Big Deal Days, Tuesday, October 6 and Wednesday, October 7, 2026. See my Prime Big Deal Days page.

Prime Day is Amazon’s summer sale for Prime members. Prime Day 2026 ran four days, from Tuesday, June 23 to Friday, June 26, per Amazon. As of September 24, 2026, Amazon hasn’t announced Prime Day 2027 dates. Countdown sites that show a 2027 date are guessing.

Until Amazon announces the dates, this page keeps the Amazon deals I’d buy today at the top. Each one shows the price and when it was last checked. Amazon prices more than a day old aren’t shown; the card links to the live price instead.

Rish’s Top 10 Amazon deals right now

Prime Day 2027 hasn’t been announced. These are the Amazon deals I’d buy today.

How I pick these

Deal links on this page are affiliate links: if you buy through one, SlickRish may earn a commission, at no extra cost to you. As an Amazon Associate, SlickRish earns from qualifying purchases. Prices and availability are accurate as of the time shown and can change; the price on the store’s site when you buy is the one that applies. How SlickRish makes money

What’s usually worth buying on Prime Day

Things you were going to buy anyway

This sale works best for stuff already on your list: the kitchen gadget you’ve been eyeing, the replacement headphones, the gift you’d otherwise buy in December. Open the product page and tap Amazon’s “Price History” link, which shows up to 365 days of prices (per Amazon’s FAQ). If today’s price is the lowest on that chart, buy it. If it’s been lower before, you can afford to wait.

Amazon’s own devices

Kindle, Echo, Fire TV, Ring and Blink are Amazon’s own products, so Amazon controls their prices directly. Check the Price History link before you buy: it shows whether a Prime Day price is really lower than the rest of the year.

Big-ticket items that can wait

TVs, laptops, big appliances. Amazon runs a second Prime sale in the fall, and Black Friday comes after that. If it can wait, check the price at more than one sale.

How to tell a real deal from a fake discount

A crossed-out “list price” is the store’s number, not proof of a deal. Two checks I use:

  1. Price history. Amazon’s own Price History link on the product page. A drop that only undoes a recent price hike isn’t a deal.
  2. The timestamp. Every price on SlickRish shows when it was last checked. If it’s hours old during a sale, click through and look before you get excited.

More on this in my guide: How I tell a real discount from a fake “was $399”.
