First thing’s first – What is Prime Day? 

Amazon’s Prime Day is a two-day shopping event during which Prime members get exclusive access to millions (yes, millions) of deals on Amazon. Some notable participating brands include Paula’s Choice, Peloton, Ninja, Amazon (obviously), and so much more. 

How to prep for Prime Day:

There are some simple things you can do in preparation for Prime Day to ensure you have the most successful shopping experience possible:

• Sign up to be a Prime member. In order to participate in Prime Day and all of its glory, you need to be a member. (You can sign up for a 30-day free trial if you’re not already signed up). After the trial, the membership is just $9.99 per month or $99 per year. 
• Set up deal notifications. Prime members can set up personalized deal notifications to be notified when their recent searches and product views have deals, so you never miss a discount. 
• Build your cart. In order to secure you’re best chances of snagging the items you want to buy on sale before they sell out, have them ready in your cart. This avoids last-minute scrambling! 
• Take advantage of early deals. As we mentioned, a ton of items are already marked down on Amazon! Take advantage of these early deals to ensure you don’t miss out.

Here’s what we’re shopping:

Nespresso Vertuo Next Coffee and Espresso Machine

There’s no better time to upgrade your morning coffee experience than now because Nespresso’s Vertuo Coffee and Espresso Machine is currently 44% off! Be warned though, once you go Nespresso, there’s no turning back.

Although not on sale yet, Fitbit usually does participate in Prime Day, so here’s hoping! If you’ve been debating adding a Fitbit to your arm, the Versa 4 is a great pick with features such as a built-in GPS, all-day activity tracking, sleep tracking, heart-rate monitoring, 40+ exercise modes, and more.
