amazon prime day

It’s heeeere! Amazon Prime Days are Monday AND Tuesday, July 15 and 16th. Do you know what you’re buying? Read on for some ideas…

Are you a member of Amazon Prime?

I know – it seems kind of steep to pay the $119 a year fee, but if you’re not a member you miss out of pretty much making that money right back in the shipping you’ll pay. I’m sure you’ve heard of Amazon Prime Day. That’s the day that your friends who are really organized do their Christmas shopping and tell you about it December 15th when you’re running like a nut around trying to find the latest gadget your teenager wants. Sound familiar?

what is Prime Day?

Amazon Prime day is a bargain hunter’s dream. It’s not even a day  – it’s TWO DAYS. 48 hours of deals, steals and big time squeals. If you’ve wanted an Amazon Echo, Prime is YOUR day. Instant Pot? Yup. Air Fryer – I can’t imagine there won’t be a deal on one. There’s 1 million – YUP – 1 million deals. So pray for a rainy day, my friend, because the fun starts on Monday, July 15th at 12:00am PT! And if you don’t have Prime, you can’t play— so it’s a great time to get a free trial!

Here’s the whole scoop:

• Not a member of Prime? You can sign up for an Amazon Prime 30-Day free trial. It’s as simple as that!
• There’ll be deals coming at you for two days and I’ll do my best to keep you in the loop here and on Instagram.
• If you’re a current Prime customer and you’ve wanted to get your groceries shopped for and delivered right to your front door toot suite, there’s a AmazonFresh free trial that’s pretty sweet. [Note: You have to live in an area served by AmazonFresh.]
• Have Alexa? You can start shopping ASAP. Just ask her, “Alexa, what are my deals?” and she’ll set you up! And once you order you can ask her, “Alexa, where’s my stuff?”. Although I’ll tell you if I talked to my mom like that…

AWESOME DEALS So far (AND TIME IS LIMITED!)

Vitamix Explorian 64 oz (Refurbished – like new)If you’ve been thinking about a Vitamix, this is one to check out. You won’t find a price like this and it comes with a 3 year warranty which is huge for a refurbished machine. Brand new Vitamixes come with a 7 year warranty.

Nespresso VertuoPlus Coffee Maker Plus 30 capsules of coffee $99 (orig $181.99)I am a BIG Nespresso fan. I’ve had (have) a few of these machines. The coffee is the absolute best. The Vertuo line makes both coffee and espresso which is a win-win. And the price of the machine can’t be beat.

Breville Coffee Maker $199.95 (orig 299.95) Perfect coffee all day with a thermal carafe.

Instant Pot Smart Wifi 6 Qt with Echo Dot  $89 (orig $179.94!) This spotlight deal is amazing! I told you there would be an Instant Pot but an Instant Pot that comes with an Amazon Echo and they talk to each other? WOWZA!

Breville Smart Oven with Convection 199.95 (orig 268.95) Whether you’ve wanted a toaster oven or another oven to have when one just isn’t enough (think holidays), this is the winner! I have this and sold it for many years. Hands down the best. It holds a a 13″ frozen pizza AND  a 9×13 pan making it perfect for that extra side at Thanksgiving you don’t know where to put!

All Clad 10″ AND 12″ D3 fry pan set $153.99 (orig 219.99) Three layers of steel make this the king of stainless steel. These pans are a must for any kitchen and among my favs. Two pans – you can split them up and make two gifts for Christmas or a wedding shower! Great deal!

Inofia Fryer

This is what’s on my list. I have been dying to get an air fryer ever since we got them in the store at Williams-Sonoma. Hoping this one or the Philips AirFryer is on sale!

Other expected great deals:

• Vitamix blenders and accessories
• Sodastream machines
• My new favorite tool is the Ergo Spout—a great way to convert your Mason jars to the best serving piece!
