What are you waiting for? You can sign up for your free 30-day Amazon Prime trial, (paid link) use it for Prime Day – scheduled October 13-14, 2020 – and then cancel before they charge you a dime at the end of your trial if you absolutely hate it.

Amazon already has some Home gift deals out, before Prime Day! (paid link)

Take, for example, some of the items found below (#ad).

That Tuft and Needle mattress is their made-for-Amazon line. According to Honey, that’s the lowest price it’s been in 30 days.

The blender has been recommended to me by crowdsourced Facebook friends…I went with a different brand and am disappointed. I will now have to buy the Blendtec!

I think we need that doggie water fountain in our family’s life. I only hope it doesn’t splash water all over the surrounding floor!

There is so much more on that deals page…

Ring doorbells,
LeCreuset items,
Kitchenware/dishes/pots and pans,
Tools,
Bedding,
Spice racks,
Printers,
And on the list goes.

Other Things To Be Aware Of

Watch for price drops on your favorite items. You can monitor Amazon prices for free by signing up at CamelCamelCamel.

Don’t forget that Amazon won’t be the only retailer planning some deals on those days. Keep an eye out on other of your favorite stores and see how their sales and shipping compare.

Walmart currently offers millions (according to their FAQ) of items eligible for free 2-day shipping on orders over $35.

Target offers free 2-day shipping on most items for RedCard users. No RedCard? No problem! Just order $35 worth to get the free shipping.

Pro Tip: RedCard can be a credit card or a debit card that is hooked up to your checking account.

Macy’s offers free shipping on $25 or more. Exclusions apply.

Nordstrom always offers free shipping on any of their merchandise. Usually, you must allow 3-6 business days.

As always, sign in through Rakuten to get cash back on your qualifying purchases to stack your savings.
