However, you probably won’t see the same deals as someone else, because many retailers use your search history to send you deals for those items. That’s part of how you can narrow down how to find the best deals out there. Stippel’s favorite place to save money is Amazon Prime. First, <a href="https://www.click2houston.com/news/local/2021/06/15/3-ways-to-save-in-the-summer-sale-wars/" target="_blank">sign up for Amazon Prime</a>.<h2>1. Look now</h2>The first tip for saving the most money is to start looking now. Add items to your cart. Stippel is already finding prime deals.“They’re already doing a ton of early Prime Day Deals,” Stippel said. “...Something else to remember when Prime Day rolls around, there are certain deals that go on where they only have a certain quantity of those deals. So maybe there’s 1000, maybe there’s 100 and once they’re claimed, they’re gone.”<h2>2. Get on waitlists</h2>You will see a lot of deals during the sale days. If you didn’t get the Amazon Lightning Deal in time, sign up for the waitlist. Often Amazon will send you a discounted rate for the item after the sale is finished.<h2>3. Check your “Subscribe and Save” items</h2>Don’t forget to check for deals on the “Subscribe and Save” items you are already signed up for. Sometimes it’s easy to forget about those items since they are shipped without you thinking about it. You may also want to consider adding items to “Subscribe and Save.”“We get lots of things like soaps, anything for the kids that I know that they’re going to need on repeat or things around the house that we know that we’re going to meet on repeat,” Stippel said. “If we find a good deal, we’ll get them ... It depends if they’re putting it on a good deal for ‘Subscribe and Save’ for Prime Day. Specifically, I’ll look at investing or you know, starting a subscription with things like household cleaners and laundry detergent, things like that.”<h2>4. Follow stores</h2>Go through Amazon and “like” or “follow” all of the stores you might want to get deals from. You should get notified about the deals that will happen during the sale event.You’ll also want to think about those random items you may have looked up on Amazon Prime. You don’t want Amazon sending you random deals.“Maybe I searched for something last week because we just randomly needed it but we are never going to need it again. Well, I want that out of my browser history because I don’t want it to be something it’s giving me deals about if it’s something for the lawn that I’m never going to use,” Stippel said. “So you want to get rid of that and manage those personalized deals so that you are getting the notifications for things that really pertain to you.”Stippel recommends going to the <a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=GWXKS5URFHJUVUDN" target="_blank">“Manage Personalized Deals</a>” section of your Prime account to manage these settings.<h2>Three things every parent should buy during Amazon Prime Day</h2>As a busy mom, personal trainer and blogger, Stippel knows preparing ahead of time for a big sale can really help in the long run.
