The summer solstice is upon us, and that means June is almost in the rear-view mirror. For July, we have two big events on our calendar: Independence Day and Prime Day 2025. Okay, we’re not saying they’re of equal relevance, but we are looking for some good midsummer deals, so we were happy to see the dates for Amazon’s big sale were recently confirmed to be Tuesday, July 8, through Friday, July 11. You read that correctly: The two-day sale has doubled in length. We haven’t been this excited since Taco Bell brought back the Mexican Pizza.

That gives you less than three weeks to build a wish list, clear out your cart and mentally (and financially) prepare for the chaos. Whether you’re chasing down slick new tech, stocking up on home essentials or impulse-buying something weird (looking at you, waffle maker with a built-in Bluetooth speaker), Prime Day (or is it Prime Week now?) is one of the best times of year to save.

We’ve been covering Prime Day since the beginning, and we’ve seen it all — the actual steals, the fake deals and the “sales” that quietly raised the price first. Our job? Help you spot the good stuff and avoid the fluff. Oh, and if patience isn’t your thing? We’ve already rounded up some of the best tech deals that are live now — no need to wait.
