Price-tracking tips for Prime Day savings

Amazon Prime Day is back. These tools and tricks can help you save the most money during the July sale.

Amazon's Prime Day is back, which means *** lot of us are online shopping this week. Now, last year, consumers spent about $14 billion during July Prime Day. This year's events 4 days long, so they're probably going to spend even more. What's worth buying? I asked that question to our first partners at Good Housekeeping. They told us this is *** really good time to buy big ticket items at discounted prices, but they also say this is *** good time to get *** jump start on your. Back to school shopping right now is *** great time to buy back to school supplies because this is really the first moment where we're seeing *** sale during the back to school season. Deal finding experts at Good Housekeeping like using this tool. It's called Camel Camel Camel, and it lets you track price changes on Amazon. This is *** website or *** browser app that allows you to track the price of virtually any product. On Amazon so you can make sure that right now is the best time to get that item on sale or you can see if it's maybe even cheaper in the past and you want to hold off for *** little bit longer. Prime Day runs through July 11th, but before you buy anything, just make sure you're scoping out the competition. That's because Target has its circle week. Walmart also has its own deals event, so just make sure you're checking prices everywhere to really make sure you're getting the best deal.
