Amazon prime day (APD) is nearly upon us, with lots of items that will be reduced and excellent value for money. However, it is important that you prepare properly for the day, so you can get the best bargains and save the most money. It doesn't matter if you need an item, a bargain's a bargain. Right?
There are the obvious things like making sure that you are properly hydrated and nourished. It may be worth considering Carb loading, and if you have a number of friends who are also thinking about their preparations for APD then maybe you could have a pasta party the night before. With APD actually kicking off at midnight UK time, perhaps you could set up a home LAN and get your friend s to bring their laptops around to yours. Then you'd all be able to go straight into the shopping spree directly after the past party. If you do go down this rout, then it might be as well to avoid alcohol at the pasta party or who know what you might buy
And with APD actually being 36 hours in duration, perhaps it would be best to sleep the day before so that you have a better chance of making it through the whole session without a break; after all you don't want to be missing out on the bargains.
An alternative approach for amateur shoppers is to sit down before the day and write a list of things you have been considering buying. Do a quick bit of research to check the best prices for these items. Then on the day, if you do get drawn in to the fray and come across a onceinalifetimenottobemissed bargain, you can check your list. if it's not on the list walk away; if it is on the list, check the price is ACTUALLY less than you would have paid or walk away. And finally, once you've spent your available money, walk away.
