Amazon Prime Day has arrived with some of the best offers and deals up for grabs over the next 48 hours, letting shoppers make some mega savings in their purchases.
During the whopper two-day sale, which began on July 11 and will end on July 12, Amazon devices, beauty products, as well as TV and technology items are all heavily discounted, with brands like Ninja, Apple and Philips all having their prices slashed.
However, there is a catch as shoppers that wish to take advantage of the mega savings do need to have an Amazon Prime membership, which costs around €10.50 and guarantees you free delivery for all your orders, as well as access to Prime Video.
