5 Tips For Preparing For Amazon Prime Big Deal Days

To help you prepare well to maximize your savings for Amazon Big Deal Days, here are 5 strategies we suggest:

1. Sign up for a free 30-day trial to Amazon Prime.

Not an Amazon Prime member? No worries, now is the perfect time to sign up for a FREE 30-day trial.

This way, you’ll get all of the benefits of Prime and be able to take advantage of the deals, but you won’t have to pay for a Prime subscription. At the end of the 30 days, just be sure to go into your account and cancel your subscription and you won’t be charged!

Psst! If you’re a student, you can sign up for a FREE 6-month Amazon Prime trial!

2. Subscribe to Crystal’s Hot Deals email newsletter.

Have you signed up for our Hot Deals Email Newsletter yet? If not, be sure to do so before Prime Day!

When you sign up, Crystal will send you no more than 1-2 emails each day featuring the hottest and best deals hand-picked by her as soon as they become available.

This way, you won’t have to wait for the daily enewsletter to go out in the afternoon; you can jump on the hottest deals right away!

Crystal will be sending out two email newsletters both days on Tuesday and Wednesday featuring only the BEST deals that are her top picks.

Sign up for this newsletter here.

3. Follow us on Instagram.

You can find us on two different Instagram accounts on Prime Big Deal Days:

:: Crystal’s personal Instagram: Be sure to head over there and hit the follow button. She loves personally sharing the deals she’s most excited about on IG Stories. (Plus, you’ll see a lot of behind-the-scenes content including day-to-day life, grocery shopping hauls, and a lot of other fun stuff that doesn’t get shared anywhere else!)

:: Money Saving Mom Deals Instagram: You’ll also want to go follow our Instagram account that is solely dedicated to posting the top deals each day! If you follow us there, you’ll see deals pop up not only on IG Stories but also in your feed throughout the day. You’ll also get to know some of the rest of the team here, as we often show our faces on video in IG Stories! 😉

On Prime Big Deal Days, we’ll be hopping onto IG stories on both accounts multiple times throughout the day telling you about the best deals that we’re most excited about! So be sure to follow both accounts HERE and HERE so you don’t miss anything!

4. Follow our Facebook Page

We’ll be posting all the deals all day long on our Facebook Page, and it’s one of the easiest ways to make sure you don’t miss any HOT deals! Just bookmark this page and refresh it throughout both days to keep up to date with the latest and greatest deals.

Plus, you might see some live videos and FB Stories throughout the day from different team members talking about some of our favorite deals!

Oh! And we’ve been doing lots of fun gift card giveaways each week over there and plan to give away some Amazon gift cards over the next few weeks for Prime Big Deal Days!!

5. Make a List & Budget

If you haven’t done so already, be sure to make a list of the items you are most interested in buying, as well as the budget you have to spend. This way, you don’t just jump on a good deal because it’s “such a good deal”, when it’s not something you need or can afford.

Crystal’s Grocery Pick-Up Orders from the Past Three Weeks

In the spirit of saying no and letting things go in this season of life, I’ve opted to do grocery pick-up at Kroger the past three weeks. And I’ve been really surprised at how I’ve still been able to get great deals and keep our budget low — and save quite a bit of time, too!

Sure, you don’t get to take advantage of markdowns or clearance prices, but there have been a few great pick-up and delivery only deals and freebies + I’ve been able to use digital coupons and paper coupons, so it feels like a great option for weeks when there is a lot going on.

Speaking of a lot going on, I didn’t get a chance to share my grocery posts from the past few weeks. So here are three weeks in one post! The deals in the first two weeks are no longer available, but this week’s deals are good through tomorrow at midnight (Tuesday) and there are a few great ones! As always, check your local Kroger ad or app to see if they have these prices as they sometimes vary by region.

Two Weeks Ago: Spent $127.82 for all of these groceries…

Last week: Spent $77.35 for these groceries (we were supposed to be out of town over the weekend and then three of us were going to be out of town Monday/Tuesday, so I didn’t buy as much because of this)…

This week: Spent $107.40 for all these groceries… (used $10 off $100 coupon online)

Sugar is $1.99 for a 4-lb bag with the digital coupon and you can get up to 5 bags at this price. Green Giant veggies are $1/box. Graham crackers are $1.99/box with the digital coupon.

Cuties are $2.99 for a 3-lb bag. Campbell’s soup is $1/can. Red Baron pizza is $2.99. Milk and chocolate milk are $1.69 with the digital coupon (I got another half gallon not shown here because someone had already gotten into it!)

Oreos are $1.99/package with the digital coupon. Chocolate chips are $1.99 with the digital coupon (you can get up to five bags – stock your freezer!) And the Thomas bread and English Muffins are $2.49.
