Best Pre-Prime Day Deals
Who’s ready for Amazon Prime Day? If your answer is a resounding “not me”, don’t worry. Fat Kid Deals has got you covered.
The best and worst part of Amazon Prime Day is its scarcity and fleeting timeline. Sure, the event itself lasts 2 full days but most of the deals involved do not make it to the finish line. We can’t count how many stories of there-one-minute, gone-the-next items our team has heard.
When is Amazon Prime Day?
If you haven’t already heard, Amazon Prime Day will be held on July 12th and 13th in 2022. These dates fall on a Tuesday and Wednesday.
3 Tips for Amazon Prime Day
Don’t believe anybody who’s saying better deals come after Prime Day or that better deals come after a certain point in the day during the event. Amazon Prime Day is a time where you should act with urgency. Otherwise, you will miss deals.
Here’s our best advice on approaching Amazon Prime Day.
Step 1: Know what you want or need before Prime Day arrives. This is the best advice we can give folks. Find the products or categories that you’re interested in and refresh your page or app like a crazy person during the 2-day stretch.

Step 2: Be ready to purchase. There’s nothing better than finding a deal on the item you want during Amazon Prime Day. Fat Kid Deals know from experience, that you will probably never find that price again. We’ve seen this time after time with everything from Apple AirPods to JBL speakers. Get the deal the minute that you see it.
Step 3: Tweet at us if you can’t find deals on what you want. Prime Day is not just a great day to shop deals, but also the busiest days of the year for Amazon. Things get buried quickly. So, if you can’t find something, tweet at us and we’ll be happy to help you find the best deal.
