AMAZON PRIME SHOPPING TIPS
Amazon runs two Prime Day events a year, one in July and one in October.
For the first time, the shopping event spans four days – but don't expect everything to stay live that long.

The Prime Day sale is set to end on July 11, 2025, but the best bargains typically sell out in just hours (sometimes even minutes), especially on popular tech, toys, and homeware.
The event can be exciting for shoppers, but it is important not to get carried away and make impulse purchases which aren't good value.
The Sun previously spoke to Liz Hunter, commercial director at price comparison website Money Expert, who said shoppers should be wary of unknown brands.
She said: "While searching on Amazon, you're likely to come across products from random, unrecognisable brands.
"These products often undercut key players on price, but without brand reputation, you risk sacrificing quality and durability."
Meanwhile, Tom Church, founder of LatestDeals.co.uk previously said shoppers should take advantage of offers on garden tools and tech gadgets.

Top UK holiday destination to charge £1.30 MORE per night in tourist tax crackdown
BRITS visiting a popular UK destination are set to be hit with an extra £1.30 per night. Holidaymakers who take a trip to Wales will be thumped with a visitor levy - or tourist tax - after the proposal was given the nod. 1 Visitors to Wales are set to be hit with a tourist tax from 2027 Credit: Getty It marks the first local tax in 500 years to be legislated in the country and will likely put into effect from April 2027. Punters who stay in hotels or Airbnbs will be required to pay an added £1.30 per night, while those overnighting in hostels and campsites will be asked to hand over 80p, North Wales Live With However, if the Welsh Conservatives down the community-based party, they say the tax will be scrapped. read more in travel In the Senedd yesterday, North Wales Tory MS Sam Rowlands said the tax was 'bad for Wales and bad for the Welsh tourism sector'. He added: 'You really would think that nobody would ever travel to a holiday destination in Wales again. 'Our research tells us unequivocally that the revenue generated has significantly contributed to environmental protection, the enhancement of facilities and infrastructure, the preservation of natural beauty, while supporting the visitor economy – all without deterring tourism. "We want the same for Wales.' Most read in Travel The tax, which has been revised since its initial proposal, will not require under 18s staying campsites, hostels and outdoors centres to pay the tax. Locations including Swansea, Newport, Caerphilly, Vale of Glamorgan and Rhondda Cynon Taf have said they have no plans to impose the tax on visitors. Cadbury Shrinks Fudge Bars, Brent Offers Free White Goods, and HMRC Side Hustle Tax Alert – Money News Today It comes news that people staying overnight in Liverpool will have to pay the "tourist tax" - which could raise millions each year - after it was introduced in June. The vote was passed during a ballot by Accommodation BID, which represents 83 hotels and a number of serviced apartment providers in the city. Dubbed the £2 City Visitor Charge, the group predicts the levy could raise as much as £9.2 million over two years, of which around 73 per cent will go towards supporting Liverpool's visitor economy. Liverpool BID Company, which manages Accommodation BID, said the tax would "turbo charge" the tourism and visitor economy in the UK's fifth largest city. Accommodation providers and hotels will manage and administer the charge, making customers pay either when they check in or when their stay is over. Money raised under the scheme will be administered by Accommodation BID, which includes two business improvement districts in the city centre and represents more than 800 companies. Of the 83 hotels balloted about the charge, 59 per cent were in favour, from a turnout of 53 per cent - meaning just 26 of the establishments queried approved of the scheme, with 18 opposed.

'Best-sounding Echo Dot yet' almost half price in Prime Day deal
The new way of listening to music at home continues to grow in popularity, with people moving in greater numbers towards smart speakers and away from traditional radios. Amazon has now claimed to have produced its 'best-sounding Echo Dot' yet and has slashed its price as part of the ongoing Prime Day sale. The Echo Dot (Newest gen) | Big vibrant sound Wi-Fi and Bluetooth smart speaker with Alexa, comes in three colours and all three have seen massive price reductions this week. Both the charcoal and deep sea blue versions are down 46 per cent (from €63.62 to €34.17), while the popular glacier white speaker is down 42 per cent (from €62.46 to €36.37). The product description boasts improved audio when it comes to music, with clearer vocals and a richer bass, while the sound of podcasts and audiobooks can also be enjoyed via platforms such as Amazon Music, Audible, Apple Music, Spotify and more. The Echo Dot (Newest gen) | Big vibrant sound Wi-Fi and Bluetooth smart speaker is also Alexa-enabled to allow for weather updates, timers, answers to questions and playful interactions, which are always popular with kids. The product can also be set up to control compatible smart home devices with your voice or set up routines such as temperature control. Users have been writing rave reviews about the product, with one saying: "I've owned a few Echo Dots over the years, but the 5th gen is definitely the best so far. I picked it up in the Deep Sea Blue color, and it looks even better in person—sleek, modern, and blends in nicely with the room. The sound quality is what really surprised me. For such a small device, it actually fills the room with clear, balanced audio. The bass is noticeably better than previous models, and I've found myself using it to play music way more often now." Another added: "Great device, useful and has been the reason my room has turned into a very smart one, ever since I've gotten my Alexa I've been able to set up my main bedroom lights, tv, wardrobe lights, leds, tv and even air purifier to turn on or be activated with my voice." Other smart speakers available on Amazon come in a wide variety of price ranges, such as the Sonos Era 100 Smart Speaker which boasts superior stereo separation and deeper bass. This currently comes in at €229. For those looking for a versatile smart speaker for the bedroom, this funky option also has functionalities such as phone-charging and soft wake-up capabilities. In terms of portable options, the JBL Authentics 300 Smart Home Speaker is highly-rated and comes in at €314.99.
