Here Are Our Top Amazon Prime Day Picks
One-click shopping is just too tempting
'Tis the season of summer sales, and Amazon is driving a particularly hefty sleigh with Amazon Prime Day 2018. While the event, exclusive to Prime members, officially kicked off yesterday, July 16, it's still going on for the rest of today and until 3am tomorrow. (Oh, and a vast array of “teaser” products have been available since July 10, with our favorite being Tarte’s “prime pretties color collection.”)
Needless to say, there are significant discounts on Amazon products, primarily Alexa-enabled technologies: FireTVs and Tablets and Echos. The Fire TV Stick with Alexa Voice Remote, for example, is 50 percent off—once $39.99, today it will go for $19.99. Even though devices are the most noticeable products for sale on Amazon Prime Day, home goods, beauty products, clothes, and more are also available at a fraction of a cost. To help you wade through all the deals, here are the things we're putting in our carts.
