How to Score Amazon Prime Day Deals 2020

Amazon Prime Day deals are one of the most anticipated shopping events of the year! Next to Black Friday deals, Amazon Prime Day deals can save you tons of money on everyday necessities, personal indulgences, birthday gifts, and upcoming Christmas gifts. It’s like Christmas in July!

Amazon Prime Day is July 15-16, 2019. It’s actually a day and a half of deals, with some deals coming early for Amazon Prime members.

NOTE: Target is having Target Deal Days July 15-16, 2019. Watch out for their amazing deals, which require no membership and free 2-day shipping on orders $35+.

The awesome deals below are currently available NOW! No need to wait until Amazon Prime Day starts. However, you must jump on these offers before July 17. Because after Amazon Prime Day officially ends, the special coupons and offers won’t be available.

UPDATE: Here are some of the best Amazon Prime Day deals I got in 2018!

23AndMe Ancestry AND Genetic Testing I’ve written about my comparison of Ancestry DNA and 23AndMe DNA testing for my family tree. I’ve also done the health screening with 23AndMe and it is truly fascinating. This extensive testing usually costs $299. During Amazon Prime Day it’s only $99!!!!! That’s $200 in savings!
LifeStraw Personal Water Filter After a year of traveling across the country – sometimes without power or a water supply – I’ve seen how important it is to be prepared for an emergency situation. Whether you’re camping or making an Emergency Prep Kit, this LifeStraw is a great find. And for $9.99, the price can’t be beat! I’ll be buying many of these for my entire family for emergency stashes.
LifeStraw Gravity Fed Water Purifier This gives you fresh, safe water for 3 years for a family of four. If you’re in an emergency situation or spend a lot of time camping and hiking, this is an absolute amazing investment for less than $40.

ALL of the Benefits of Amazon Prime

There are SO many benefits of Amazon Prime. Seriously, so many. Among the best are the free delivery options and streaming music, movies and TV (in my humble opinion these are the best for me!).

But decide for yourself what you like best!

Free Same Day Delivery Over a million items can be delivered in the same day of ordering in certain metro areas.
Free 2-Hour Delivery with Prime Now Some essentials can be delivered in 2 hours to your office or home.

Being able to stream movies and TV shows opens up a world of opportunities for entertainment that is always changing. There’s so much to choose from! Watch thousands of options on your home TV, a computer, or on a mobile device wherever you go.
Prime Music Hate listening to commercials while playing your favorite songs? Amazon Prime Music streams more than a million songs and exclusive albums without ads.

Amazon Prime Family You get up to 20% off all of the expensive things that little ones constantly need, like diapers, baby food and more.

Amazon Elements You’ll be able to order Amazon’s line of Amazon Elements, everyday products with transparent origins.
