Top Amazon Prime Day Deals for 2023

Luckily, my colleagues and I have spent years sifting through listings like this, particularly for tech items, and have a pretty good sense of what’s worth and what’s not.
This ongoing list highlights some of the best ideas for Amazon Prime Day 2023, which takes place on July 11-12. The items have been handpicked by our experts (I’ve been covering Prime Day since 2015 and covering tech and consumer goods for over 20 years) and we’ll be updating this list throughout the event. Note that some offers are for a limited time only and may have sold out at the time of your review.
We have that too have previously compiled the best deals for early Prime Daysome of which already started at the end of June and may still be available, and also offered Series of Prime Day tips and best practices to get the best deals.
Also note that some of these offers will require you to request an invite even if you’re a Prime member, as quantities are limited (e.g. a Black Friday doorbuster).

Do you have to be an Amazon Prime member?
Yes, to get those Prime Day deals – and that’s the main purpose of Prime Day, to get you there Sign up for the $140 per year subscription. A helpful trick: You can sign up for the 30-day free trial and then cancel. just watch out because it can be difficult to cancel if you are not careful.
Will other stores have Prime Day deals?
Yes and no. Ever since Amazon introduced Prime Day in 2015, competitors have been running suspiciously similar sales on overlapping days. Target, Best Buy, Walmart and similar stores, both online and in the real world, had their own special days with names like “Black Friday in July.” In 2023, Target holds Target Circle Week July 9-15 and Walmart is hosting Walmart Plus Week July 10-13. It makes sense to do a comparison between these different stores to get the best price.
