It’s Amazon Prime Days today and tomorrow.

Amazon Prime Day is like Black Friday, but for Amazon Prime customers. It’s the 10th year for the sale. Amazon raked in nearly $13 billion in sales from customers around the world during the event in July 2023.

An annual poll found the top three things we’re looking to buy are clothes and other apparel, electronics and household essentials, like toilet paper.

The first ever Prime Day sale was in 2015, bringing in just under $1 billion, last year just over $12 billion was made.

Remember to keep an eye out for scams or look-alikes! Prime Days run until tomorrow at midnight.
