Amazon’s annual shopping event runs on Tuesday July 11 and Wednesday, July 12 and it’s a great time to finally clear some items off your wishlist.
Like Black Friday, the early bird usually gets the worm, but scoring Prime Day deals is a little easier than storming the aisles of a Target at 5 a.m. considering the holiday takes place solely online. Prime Day 2023 promises to be another boon for amazing deals but inquiring minds want to know: What to buy.
But as someone with five Prime Days under his belt, here are five items that will almost certainly be on sale for some of the lowest prices we’ll see all year.
1
Amazon Echo Devices
I’ve yet to experience a single Prime Day where Amazon wasn’t offering big discounts on their own products. This includes just about all Echo devices, which at this point range from sunglasses to doorbells. If you’re looking to score an Amazon Fire TV, an Echo Dot, Echo Pop, or one of the countless other Echo devices, you’ll likely find one on Prime Day. In fact, many items are already available for fairly meaty discounts right now.
2
Pressure Cookers
Buying a pressure cooker outside of Prime Day is like buying a Prius outside of Toyotathon. I don’t know why, but you can set your watch to discounted pressure cookers on Prime Day. This year may be a little different, considering Instant Pot recently filed for bankruptcy. This tragic news aside, no kitchen is truly complete without a good pressure cooker. We recommend you can nab a huge $60 discount on Chef iQ, which is one of the fancier models out there, and ranks among the best pressure cookers available.

OLED TVs
OLED TVs are incredibly pricey, but an excellent investment in cinematic quality picture. Once you’ve experienced the color clarity and brightness of these fancy screens, watching movies and shows on anything other than an OLED will feel practically primitive. While there will likely be big savings on OLED TVs, big ticket items are usually relegated to Lightning Deals, so you’ll have to be quick with the mouse click to score one. Luckily, our pick for the overall best TV of 2023, the LG C2 Series 55-Inch Class OLED evo Smart TV is already on sale.
4
Apple AirPods
Like OLED TVs, once you invest in a great pair of earphones it’s difficult to go back to lesser models. If you’ve been eager to upgrade your audio with our pick for the overall best earphones available right now, you may just be able to score a sweet deal on Apple AirPods come Prime Day. If your patience is waning, you can score a deal on all three generations of Apple AirPods right now.
5
SD Storage
For the tech-obsessed, there are certain things you can always use more of: Batteries, USB-C cables and SD cards. Whether you’re looking to free up space on your Steam Deck or Nintendo Switch, or just want to backup some important data, it never hurts to have a spare SD card on hand. Amazon Prime Day often offers great savings on all manner of SD storage, but you can save 34% on our favorite SD card, the SanDisk Extreme Proright now.
