This is exactly what you should be buying in the final hours of the Prime Day sale
Updated
Four years of covering the Amazon Prime Day sale have taught me that you can actually save thousands if your approach is smart and considered.
We’re not about buying things just because they’re on sale; it has to be worth your hard-earned dollars, so here’s my comprehensive list of what you should be buying in the final hours of the sale if your goal is to save big.
The Amazon Prime Day sale ends tonight (Monday, July 13, 11:59pm).
NOTE: Prices are accurate at time of publishing.
Pricey home tech
The trick is to do your research. Once you know the robot vacuum, steam mop or coffee machine you’re after, the easy part is waiting for a top deal. Prime Day always delivers, and this year has been a particularly good sale if you’re looking to lock down a pricey piece of home tech.

Gifts
Parents will know that kids’ birthday parties sneak up on you. Sure, you’ve got your own children, nieces and nephews covered (hopefully), but the birthday party that you found the invitation for at the bottom of the school bag on a Friday afternoon is going to need an appropriate gift, and fast. Which is why we always recommend having gifts on hand, ready to go for an emergency, and the best time to stock up is the Prime Day sale because the discounts mean business.
