Yesterday, Amazon officially announced the dates for Prime Day. (You can read my explainer on the sale here.) This year’s sales bonanza will take place from Tuesday, July 8, at 3 a.m. ET to Saturday, July 12, at 2:59 a.m. ET. That’s double the length of last year’s sale. And in keeping with the “more the merrier” theme, Amazon is already dropping early deals. It’s fairly slim pickings right now, but I’ll be keeping tabs on the actually good deals I spot below.
Amazon is flagging items in its deals section as a “limited time deal” or “with Prime.” Since everything under these labels could be considered an early Prime Day deal, I have stuck mostly to Strategist-approved items that are marked down to extra-good prices.

No surprises here: Most of the extra-early deals are on Amazon’s own tech devices. The Fire TVs are a good bet since they don’t often go on sale outside of Prime Day or Black Friday.
My friend texted me recently to ask if I thought Hisense TVs would be on sale for Prime Day, so I’m feeling vindicated that I was correct in assuming they would. I find these are pretty good TVs if you’re on a budget!
One of our favorite cooling pillows is both adjustable and helps with snoring. I regularly see it on sale for 20 percent off, so I don’t think it’ll get any cheaper once Prime Day starts.

Home-security gear isn’t cheap, but bundles help. Right now, you can get a whopping 62 percent off a three-pack of Blink’s outdoor cameras, which have motion detection, two-way audio, and up to two years of battery life.

Ring’s video doorbells are already an inexpensive, easy-to-install option, and right now they’re half-off.

I anticipate many Strategist best sellers will be on sale this year. It’s a good bet that most of the beauty and wellness products we featured last year will be on sale again. It’s also a good time to bookmark big-ticket items, like air purifiers and Vitamixes, as well as daily essentials like teeth whiteners and toothpaste. And the noise-canceling headphones I’ve had for years were under $200 for the first time last year — here’s hoping that’s the case again.
