Amazon Prime Day is a sale and deals event that's available exclusively to Amazon Prime customers in the UK.

In truth, the deals bonanza isn't really a 'day' at all as it runs for 36 hours from midday today (16 July) until midnight on 17 July.

Latest Amazon Prime Day deals

It's worth keeping in mind that, with limited stock, deals tend to come online and disappear shortly afterwards, so you'll need to move quickly.

We'll try to keep our deals list updated across the two days.

Electronics

Health & beauty

Outdoors

Kitchen

Toys

Remember to get any of these deals you'll need to be an Amazon Prime member; click here to get a 30-day free trial. 

How to get involved for FREE

As you may have sussed from the deals about, you need to be an Amazon Prime member in order to get access to the Amazon Prime Day event.

If you already have Amazon Prime, you have exclusive access to sales extravaganza, but if you don’t you may want to sign up to bag some bargains.

Amazon Prime offers a huge range of services for an annual (£79) or monthly (£7.99) fee. Check out our analysis of the features in: Is Amazon Prime worth it? to see if it makes sense for you.

If you’ve never tried Amazon Prime before you can sign up for the free trial which gives you a taster of the service and crucially gives you a VIP ticket to the sale.

Just make sure you cancel the trial after 30 days if you no longer need it to avoid being hit with the membership fee.

How to get the best deal on the day

You should make a list of items you want and need to avoid overspending.

On the day compare prices with other retailers before making a purchase to make sure you are getting a good deal.

It’s also worth checking CamelCamelCamel, which tracks Amazon prices, to find out if the Amazon Prime Day deal is as good as it sounds. If the price has been lower in the past it might be worth waiting for the price to drop further.

It’s also a good idea to check product reviews and use a credit card when spending £100 or more as you’ll generally get extra protection if anything goes wrong.
