I can barely function without my Tile trackers — they're HALF PRICE for Prime Day

IF you ask any of my friends, family or colleagues to describe me, it's very unlikely that the word "organised" will be mentioned.
There's only one reason that I ever manage to leave the house on time with my keys, wallet and phone: Tile trackers.
Tile Mate 3-Pack, £54.99 £27.49 from Amazon
BUY HERE
The nifty little gadgets attach to your keys, wallet or any other easily misplaced item, allowing you to easily find them with your phone. You could even pop one in the glovebox of your car.
They're pretty reasonably priced even at full whack, but you can pick them up for a steal in the Amazon Prime Day Sale.
The Tile Mate 3-Pack, which comprises a trio of keyring-compatible trackers that can easily be attached to your keys, rucksack or suitcase, has been slashed from £54.99 to just £27.49, a discount of 50%.
It's — by quite some distance — the cheapest we've ever seen this product on Amazon.
According to price tracker CamelCamelCamel, the lowest price this multipack has reached previously is £38.49.
The deal is part of Amazon's annual Prime Day sale, which this year is bigger and longer than ever — it spans four days, from Tuesday 8th until Friday 11th.
Tile trackers work very simply; you attach them to the item of your choice, then hook them up to the easy-to-use Tile app, which you can then use to locate your belongings if they get misplaced.
You can do this in two ways. The first is to trigger a loud ringtone, which you can use to find your keys if you've accidentally lost them down a sofa cushion or left them in the pocket of your jeans.
The second is by checking its location history, which is helpful if you've managed to leave your keys in a taxi or at a restaurant — I can still see a wallet I lost abroad nearly three years ago.
Here's my favourite bit, though; as well as using your phone to find your keys, you can also use a nifty button on your keyring to find your phone.
For me, this is the Tile's real party trick; you can't imagine how much I misplace my phone, and being able to find it using my keys or wallet has probably saved me hours of throwing sofa cushions around and dragging coats out of my closet.
You can, of course, get similar results to the Tile Mate using the Apple AirTag, which is also on sale for Prime Day and offers a couple of advantages over the Tile Mate, mostly regarding location accuracy.
However, a three-pack of AirTags is significantly more expensive — they're also less waterproof and only work with iOS devices.
It's no exaggeration to say that my Tile trackers have made me a more organised person — they've certainly made me more prompt, and I spend far less time frantically turning my flat upside down to find things.
