Early Amazon Prime Day deals — here's 31 deals I’d get now
Amazon Prime Day is approaching — here's the 31 deals I recommend shopping before the event
Prime Day is only a few days away, but a bunch of awesome deals have already arrived. Everything from TVs to outdoor apparel has been discounted, and shopping early is a great way to ensure you get the items you want before they sell out.
Right now the Hisense 55-inch U6N 4K Mini-LED TV is $448 at Amazon. It's $150 off, its lowest price ever and an excellent price for a Mini-LED TV in its size. It's the follow-up to our best budget TV of 2023, and this version is arguably even better value after all its upgrades.
You can also get Amazon devices on sale from $14. I'd like to specifically call out a sale on our favorite Amazon streaming stick, the Fire TV Stick 4K Max for $34 at Amazon.
Keep scrolling for all my favorite Amazon deals ahead of Prime Day. For more, check out the last-chance deals I'd buy in Walmart's July sales event.

Smart home
Echo Pop: was $39 now $17 @ Amazon
This is the most affordable Alexa speaker Amazon sells and it’s now been slashed to an even lower price. In our Echo Pop review, we were impressed by the speaker's sound for its small size. It lacks the temperature and motion sensors of the Echo Dot, but the Echo Pop still allows you to set timers, control your other smart home devices and more.
