Amazon Prime Day 2022 runs from Tuesday, July 11 until Wednesday, July 12. But finding great deals among the piles of discounted products isn't easy. Here's how to get what you want for the least amount of money come Prime Day.

Let's start with Amazon's Deals Page, which contains all of Amazon's discounted products.

1. Browse Amazon's Deals Page on a Desktop or Laptop

The Amazon Deals page allows you to sort and filter discounted items. It also gives you a sneak preview of some (but not all) upcoming Amazon Prime Day deals. For example, if you're looking for a new laptop charger, it's possible to filter all items by ticking the Prime Day Early Access Deals box along with the Computers and Accessories box and in the left column.

Unfortunately, many of the best deals are set to go on sale at shortly after midnight. In other words, you may need to stay up late on Prime Day. Fortunately, you can create a watch list of items by tapping on Watch this deal.

2. Use the Amazon Shopping App to Grab Deals From Your Smartphone

If you prefer using a smartphone, you'll want to install the Amazon Shopping app. It's more-or-less the same interface as Amazon on a desktop or laptop browser, except that it's scrunched down to fit a mobile screen.

The Amazon Shopping app can also track Early Access Prime Day deals. To track Prime Day deals, you simply run the app and do the following:

  1. Tap on the "hamburger" icon from the lower-right side.
  2. Tap Deals and Savings.
  3. Tap Today's Deals.
  4. Tap on Filters ^.
  5. Scroll down and tap on Prime Early Access Deals.
  6. Check the box for Prime Early Access deal.
  7. You can then choose to monitor a deal by tapping on Watch this deal.

The app has several advantages over using a web browser. First, because it runs on your phone, it can send push deal alerts into the notifications shade. Second, you can make purchases faster from a mobile app, which is crucial for buying discounted, supply-limited products.

3. Sign Up for Keepa Price Alerts

Keepa is a browser plugin that can monitor price changes on Amazon. It's a highly versatile tool, although it requires providing your email address in order to receive price-change alerts. However, you'll need to know what product you want before using the plugin.

One tricky thing to keep in mind is that Keepa will insert a price-chart just below the product images. So you'll need to visit the Amazon product page and then scroll down to access the Keepa interface. It's easy. Do the following:

  1. Install the Keepa browser plugin.
  2. Go to the Amazon product page that you're interested in.
  3. Scroll down to the Keepa interface.
  4. Click on Price Tracking in the second tab within the interface.
  5. Insert the price you want and your email address.

4. Use CamelCamelCamel to Track Prices

If you want a dead-simple way to track Amazon deals, CamelCamelCamel is one of the best browser extensions around. And it's available for all major browsers.

Its big advantage is that it installs in your browser, instead of on a smartphone. So if you prefer a more spacious screen, CamelCamelCamel might change how you shop on Amazon.

But aside from using a browser interface, CamelCamelCamel also comes with one major advantage: it can perform a historical price analysis. That's a huge help as Amazon Prime Day deals aren't always at a great discount. CamelCamelCamel can tell you exactly what the price history is of the item in question.

It works like this: you install the CamelCamelCamel plugin in your browser. Then, whenever you visit Amazon, the plugin injects a price chart into the Amazon product page. If you have concerns about whether you're getting a good price, you can always refer to the chart.

5. Subscribe to Really Simple Syndication (RSS) Feeds

Really Simple Syndication, often referred to as RSS (what is RSS?), is one of the best ways to stay on top of Prime Day deals.

Many tracking websites publish new deals on an RSS feed for you to subscribe to. While Amazon itself used to operate an RSS feed, it has since abandoned it. However, you can still subscribe to the SlickDeals RSS feed.

We suggest using Inoreader (what is Inoreader) or a similar service. While RSS can be complicated, it's also versatile and offers a superior alternative to algorithmically generated news.

5. Discover Reddit's Deal Finding Subreddits

Reddit (what is Reddit?), the self-proclaimed homepage of the internet, has a number of deal-finding Subreddits. Unfortunately, a few have been temporarily made unavailable to the public as part of the ongoing protest against Reddit's API pricing for third-parties.

The best subreddits for deal-hunting are:

For those who use RSS, each of these Subreddits can be turned into an RSS feed. Just add ".rss" to the end of any Reddit URL.

6. Use Visualping to Track Amazon Prices

While we've already touched on price-tracking apps, there are other ways to get price change notifications. If you're after a specific product at a particular price, check out Visualping.

Setting up website change monitoring on Visualping

Visualping is a site that allows you to monitor changes to specific web pages. So, while it's not designed as a price tracker, it can be used as one. The site continuously checks a web page for any changes and will email you or send a notification when it happens. Just visit the website and paste in the Amazon product page that you're interested in.

Visualping is available on the web, or as a Chrome extension. The Chrome extension enables on-device notifications. If you choose to use the website, you'll need to enter an email address for alerts. One downside is that Visualping doesn't help you find the best deals, only price changes.

Other Prime Day Deal Apps

Hunting down the best deals on Prime Day depends on what you want to buy. For most shoppers, installing an app is probably the most straightforward option. Although, another option is to look through our list of the best Amazon Prime Day deals.

The best way to monitor Amazon's Prime Day Deals is RSS. However, RSS requires using a service or app like Feedly, FeedMe, or Inoreader which can require some technical knowledge. As such, most shoppers will prefer using the Amazon Shopping app.

However, for those of you who prefer using a desktop interface, we suggest the browser plugin Keepa or CamelCamelCamel. But if you aren't using Chrome or Firefox, Visualping can work out of any desktop browser.
