Prime Day Shopping Tips (How to Save Big in 2025)

It’s that time again — Prime Day is back! 🎉 This October, Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days will bring two full days of epic savings on everything from kitchen gadgets and air fryers to holiday gifts and electronics.

But here’s the thing: with so many sales and overlapping events, it can be tricky to know what’s worth buying, where to shop, and how to find the lowest prices before the crowd rushes in. These Prime Day shopping tips will help you stay organized, save more, and stress less!

Best Sales Happening Now

Prime Day isn’t the only big event this October! Take advantage of these early deals before Amazon’s sale officially starts:

• Target Circle Week — Live now with 40% off holiday decor, kitchen, and tech deals.
• Walmart Holiday Deals — Starts October 7, with Walmart+ early access the evening before.
• Fall 2025 Sales Hub — See all the overlapping events (Amazon, Target, Walmart, and Kohl’s) with confirmed start dates and coupon details.

Each store’s sale has unique perks, so it pays to check early and compare pricing — many items go on sale at more than one retailer!

Set Up Deal Alerts in the Fabulessly Frugal App

💡 How to Set Alerts

1. Open the FF App and tap the 🔔 “Alerts” icon at the bottom.
2. Search for your favorite brands or products — for example, “Xbox,” “Dyson,” or “Air Fryer.”
3. Choose “Categories” like TVs, Tablets, Home Security, or Appliances to follow hot trends.
4. You can even set alerts by size for TVs or air fryers — perfect for gift planning or upgrades!

How to Shop Smarter This Prime Day

• Make a wishlist early. Add your must-have products to your cart or favorites list before Prime Big Deal Days start.
• Compare prices across stores. Check Target Circle Week and Walmart Deals — both often match or beat Amazon on popular items.
• Look for coupons and promo codes. Stack coupons on top of sale prices when available (especially on Target and Kohl’s).
• Check lightning deals fast. These often sell out within minutes, so enable push notifications if possible.
• Watch for Amazon-exclusive bundles. These can include free credits or gift cards for Prime members.
