Amazon is handing out free Echo speakers this week and here's how to get yours
It's a massive week for bargain hunters. From tomorrow, July 8, Amazon's big Prime Day sale begins, and that means there will be a flurry of bargains to be bagged. We already know that products from Bose, Sonos and LEGO will be discounted, but ahead of all those money-saving deals going live in the morning, there's a mega bundle that's already available for eager shoppers.
Right now, you can head to Amazon's pages and pop two Echo Pop speakers in your online shopping basket for just £45.98. That's already a good deal, but things get even better as the offer also includes a smart light bulb as well.
The total price for this huge bundle of smart devices usually costs a whopping £109.97 (NOIW £45.98). So, that basically means you are getting one Echo Pop for free. The only thing you'll need to claim is a Prime account (£8.99 per month). If you don't already subscribe to Prime, don't panic, as Amazon is currently offering a month of access for free.
SEE THE ECHO POP DEAL HERE
Never heard of the Echo Pop before?
As a quick reminder, this smart speaker offers bright and loud sound in a compact design. Of course, because it's made by Amazon, there is also full access to the firm's Alexa smart assistant so you can ask questions, play music and control other devices via voice commands.
As we mentioned earlier, along with the speakers, there is also that smart device thrown in as well. The bulb included is the clever Tapo L530BA which can connect to the Echo Pop and be switched off and on via Alexa.
Its colour can also be changed to millions of different shades from the rainbow which makes it perfect for setting scenes in your room.
If this offer sounds enticing, you can see full details below. As an example of how good it is, Argos currently has just one Echo Pop for £44.99.
It's a tempting promotion, just remember that Amazon is sure to announce even more discounts on Tuesday, July 8.
That's the date when this major Prime Day showcase kicks off and expect a swathe of lower prices to be unveiled across all of the big tech brands and Amazon's own devices.

Travellers race to buy ‘surprisingly spacious' underseat cabin bag reduced on Amazon – was £24, now £15
FLYING overseas soon and keen to avoid those dreaded baggage costs? Head to Amazon, where travellers are rushing to pick up an underseat cabin bag that's been reduced from £23.95 to just £14.95. Cabin Max 40 x 20 x 25cm Cabin Bag, £14.95 (was £23.95) Amazon Prime Day may have wrapped up yesterday, but if you missed out, don't despair – there are still fantastic deals to be found, especially on travel essentials like carry-on luggage. One great option is the Cabin Max 40 x 20 x 25cm Cabin Bag, perfectly sized to fit those ever-tightening hand luggage rules from airlines like Ryanair, EasyJet, and Wizz Air. With these airlines now charging extra for overhead compartment luggage, savvy plane travellers are turning to purpose-built underseat bags to sidestep those pesky fees. After all: airports are stressful enough without the added drama of unexpected charges at the gate, right? The Cabin Max cabin bag is now a top-seller on the Amazon website, thanks to its clever 2-in-1 design and practical features. Designed specifically for airlines with strict baggage rules, the Cabin Max bag maximises Ryanair's 40x20x25cm underseat allowance with a generous 20-litre capacity. Its soft-sided build and compression straps makes it perfect for efficient packing - you can pull it to to ensure it will fit into the dreaded baggage checker at the terminal. The front pocket has holders for travel accessories and documents, while the side bottle holder and rear trolley strap add convenience. Extensive padding on the straps, back panel, and top handle should make it comfortable to carry, even when fully packed. Best of all, it's got a built-in trolley handle, so you can pull it along, rather than carry it (though some shoppers have said it's shorter than they'd like). Engineered and tested in the UK, the Cabin Max bag has racked up over 10,000 five-star reviews on Amazon. Here's what some happy customers had to say: 'Nice and small, but still with plenty of room to pack everything you need for a flight," writes one shopper. "The handy stow-away backpack straps are a bonus, as you can easily convert this to a nap sack. "Likewise, the trolley handle is hidden away and can be used to wheel the bag around." 'Brilliant little bag for travelling light," says another customer. "Surprisingly spacious... you'll get more into it than you would anticipate. Highly recommended.' Amazon hasn't put an end date for this deal on the website, so it's worth snapping up quickly if you want it at the reduced price.

Little known website could help you earn £1,000s by spotting empty properties
Some people have even used the website to earn money while walking their dog HOUSE THAT Little known website could help you earn £1,000s by spotting empty properties Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A LITTLE known website could help you earn £1,000s in extra cash by spotting empty properties. YouSpotProperty allows people to earn money by reporting abandoned and empty homes. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 1 You could earn 1,000s by reporting empty properties through the website Credit: SWNS The website rewards members of the public with a £20 Amazon or M&S voucher when the home reported meets their criteria. But if the company is able to purchase the home, renovate it and get it back into use again, the person who spotted it will receive a percentage of the purchase price. YouSpotProperty says on its website that this could be up to £10,000. Since 2014, it has paid property spotters more than £1,007,538. If you've noticed a distressed property, you can simply go on the YouSpotProperty website and click the orange 'Report a Property' button. The company will then assess the building you've spotted, and if it matches their criteria, you'll be sent a £20 gift voucher. The business's expert research team will then try to make contact with the property's owner in order to try to buy the property reported. If successful, you'll receive 1% of the purchase price. So if the property if bought for £300,000, you'll get £3,000. Although this cash reward isn't always guaranteed, YouSpotProperty says its experienced researchers have a good success rate. They also assure spotters that the length of time it takes to sell the property does not affect the reward, with some purchases taking months to conclude.

They wrote on TrustPilot: "I have only recently started using this company & have submitted three properties within the last 6 weeks. "I am pleased to report that two of these met the criteria & I have already received the M&S vouchers for spotting them. "A fantastic bonus for spotting properties whilst walking the dog. Hopefully a sale materialises for a further monetary bonus. An excellent concept & an efficient service. Other ways to make extra cash If you're looking to boost your income amid the ongoing cost of living crisis, there are many other things you can do. Filling out online surveys is a quick and relatively easy way to get hold of extra cash. You can get paid up to £6 per survey, and YouGov and Prolific are two of the easiest to navigate. Mystery shopping is another easy way to earn on the side. Some brands pay you to shop free of charge, and you can even do it online in some cases. You could make hundreds as well - we previously spoke to one dad who makes a whopping £1,500 a year from filling out online surveys and mystery shopping.
