How to spot a real Prime Day deal

Not every “deal” is a true discount. Before you buy:
– Check the price history with a browser tool so you know the real low.
– Ignore inflated “list prices” and compare against the recent selling price.
– Only stock up on consumables and brands you already use and trust.
– Set deal alerts for the specific items on your list instead of browsing impulsively.
– Remember you usually need an active Prime membership for the best prices.

Should you wait or buy now?

If an item is on your list and the price matches or beats its recent low, buy it. If the discount is small or the product is brand new, it is often worth waiting. Prices change throughout the event, so the first price you see is not always the best.
