Amazon products

Amazon’s Prime Day, as I pointed out last week, is all about keeping you an Amazon subscriber for life. And one of the company’s best ways of doing that is through the sale of its Alexa-powered smart home devices. So naturally, Amazon is offering those same gadgets at steep discounts this Prime Day.

You can get 60% off the company’s third-generation Echo Dot at $18.99, and get $80 off the firm’s Echo Show smart screen devices.

Amazon-powered smart TVs are also on sale, starting at $79, with the 43-inch Toshiba Smart 4K UHD Fire TV Edition coming in at $209. The Fire TV Cube, which combines an Echo and standard Fire TV, is $40 off at $79, and Amazon’s Fire tablets are as much as 45% off.

Finally, the e-commerce giant is also offering its Eero Wi-Fi mesh router system for $174, a savings of $75.

Amazon services

Amazon is also offering savings and deals on its various services including $15 off for new Amazon Fresh customers who spend $50 or more on their orders.

Prime members who haven’t checked out Prime Music Unlimited can also get access to the service for four months for $0.99, while customers who go to any Whole Foods, Amazon Go, or Amazon Pop Up shops and spend at least $10 will get $10 in credit to spend on Prime Day up to $50.

Tech and smart home devices

Sure, Amazon’s own products are on sale, but those aren’t the only tech goods you’ll get a deal on during Prime Day. Nintendo (NTDOY) is offering 36% off on a 12-month Switch Online family membership and 33% on select Switch titles.

You’ll also see 30% off certain Samsung and Sony (SNE) televisions, 30% off on headphones, and 33% off on DJI’s Mavic Mini Drone and Osmo cameras.

As far as smart home tech, you’ll be able to save $75 on certain August smart locks and 33% off on Roomba smart vacuums.

Tech gadgets are certain to be some of the most sought after deals for the day, and this is just a small sampling of what you can expect, so you’ll definitely need to keep an eye on the category.

Clothing and tools

You’re also going to see some solid deals on clothing during Prime Day, including 40% off Levi’s (LEVI) products, 35% off on Calvin Klein underwear, and a whopping 50% off Citizen and Bulova watches.

Amazon is similarly offering deals on tools and home improvement goods, including 40% off DeWalt and Craftsman products and 50% off on tire installations.
