One of the best times of the year for bargain hunters is when Amazon launches their Prime Day deals.

Ninja CRISPi Portable Air Fryer - was £179.99, now £124
Created with the power of a full-sized air fryer, shoppers can now buy Ninja's portable alternative for £55 off the retail price. With a 3.8L container, shoppers can feed up to six people and cook a whole 1.2kg chicken and vegetables.
With four cooking functions - air fry, roast, keep warm and recrisp - this mini air fryer is perfect for those living in student halls or have smaller kitchens. With two glass cooking containers and two non-stick crisper plates, shoppers can safely clean the appliance in the dishwasher.
With a 4.3 star rating, one happy shopper said: "I bought this to use in a motorhome, it did not disappoint, easy to use and clean, plus smaller to store. I only took the small glass dish which was adequate for 2 of us, as soon as I can get another small dish I will."
However, one shopper disagreed with the amount of people this device could feed, writing: "This Ninja CRISPi Portable Air Fryer is good for one or maybe two people maximum but not really suitable at all for a family unit bigger than that."
Shoppers can save £130 on this LG Smart TV that comes with 4K Ultra HD and an AI sound experience to provide users with a vibrant picture quality and enhanced sound to create an immersive experience for every show.
Including LG's webOS smart platform, shoppers will be able access all their favourite apps such as Now, Netflix, Disney+, Twitch and Prime Video. The system also has a quick card feature which makes it easier for someone to find something to watch based on their interests.
As one of Amazon's top choices, one five-star reviewer wrote: "Looks good, picture clear colours, true, sounds good, easy to set up, which for me was a relief as I'm not that tech savvy for price. Great value."
However, one shopper grumbled about power lead, writing: "Bought this to mount on our bedroom wall. Power lead way too short and no way of swapping it for a longer one. Sent back for a refund. Why not just use a normal power lead like others do so you can just buy a longer one if needed."

For those in need of an upgrade on their old vacuum cleaner, Amazon is saving shoppers £100 on Shark's cordless cleaner that comes with an anti hair wrap that will pick up long, short and pet hair.

With a 4.5 star rating, one reviewer praised: "I am very impressed with my purchase. Most of my home is carpeted and previous cordless models have been pretty useless. Find this to be very good suction, easy to manoeuvre and fold, like how it will automatically change to hard floors in kitchen and bathroom without me having to alter switches."
Another shopper also said: "Very good but heavier than I thought, battery lasts about 30 mins but does charge up quite quickly."

Over 3,000 Amazon shoppers have bought this fitness tracker in the last 30 days, with one shopper praising: "I bought the Samsung Galaxy Fit 3 just a few days ago, and I genuinely haven't taken it off since. Sleek, lightweight, and surprisingly comfortable, this tracker has completely exceeded my expectations — especially at this price point."
On the flip side, another shopper noted: "In terms of fitness features, the watch didn't detect when I was working out even though I has the automatic detection setting on. I'd sometimes get notifications that my HR was high during resting...the watch really didn't know what I was doing."

If you are not holding the remote perfectly dead centre it just will not work at all, which is hard to do when the fan is rotating."

BREAKING NEWS Canada brutally hits back at Trump's tariffs ultimatum with huge hike that could cripple struggling US industry
After President Donald Trump shut down all trade talks with Canada, the country retaliated by hiking duties on American steel imports. Canada imposed an import quota late Friday and if it is exceeded, certain American steel sent to the country will face a new 50 percent surcharge. Canada's Finance Minister, François-Philippe Champagne, said the government was acting to protect domestic industry from 'unjust US tariffs,' NBC News reported. The response came hours after Trump posted on Truth Social about how Canada is a 'very difficult country to trade with.' His reason for suspending trade negotiations came down to a tax Canada is set to impose on major tech companies starting Monday. 'Based on this egregious Tax, we are hereby terminating ALL discussions on Trade with Canada, effective immediately,' Trump wrote, adding that the levy 'is a direct and blatant attack on our Country.' Last week, the finance minister said he would not delay the implementation of the digital services tax, which applies to any firm making more than $15 million from Canadian internet users. The three percent tax will strike at the heart of American companies like Amazon, Google, Meta, Uber and Airbnb. Canada's response came hours after President Donald Trump made this post criticizing the country for levying a usage tax on American tech companies And because the tax is retroactive back to 2022, one tech lobbying group said American firms will soon have to pay up to $3 billion directly into Canada's treasury. Canada has not ruled out further action to strike back at Trump for ending negotiations, with the government saying it 'remains prepared to take additional steps as needed.' How Canada's hike on US steel imports will affect the industry, which has been struggling for years, is yet to be seen. US Steel Corporation, once one of the most valuable companies in the world, just merged with Japan's Nippon Steel earlier this month after years of declining sales. Canada remains the second largest trading partner of the US, despite all the trade turmoil. Right now, the US has 25 percent tariff on Canadian imports that aren't covered by the US-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA), the trade deal Trump signed in his first term. Canadian energy is exempt from the 25 percent rate but is still tariffed at 10 percent, as are most products that have entered the US since early April. Canada is also hugely impacted by Trump's 50 percent tax on steel and aluminum imports, as the country is largest foreign supplier of those materials to the US. Canada's steel industry has laid off a staggering 1,000 workers since the first US tariffs in March, Reuters reported. It has also been impacted by the 25 percent duties Trump has levied on foreign-made vehicles and parts. This comes as the US rapidly approaches Trump's July 9 deadline to renegotiate trade with countries around the world so they can avoid so-called reciprocal tariffs. Trump first announced the reciprocal tariffs on April 2, which he dubbed 'Liberation Day.' More than 60 countries were hit with import charges of as much as 50 percent. The announcement from the White House led to widespread market panic and falling bond values, which led to Trump enacting a 90-day pause on April 9. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said early Friday that the pause could be extended to Labor Day - and that country-by-country tariffs could be negotiated down in that time. Hours later, Trump echoed a similar sentiment. He said the initial July 9 deadline was not set in stone and could shortened or extended.

But luckily, green-fingered Brits can say goodbye to that and hello to a lush green lawn - and it's sure to make your neighbours envious. 2 2 Those whose lawns could do with some TLC this season should hit Amazon, where they can bag a bargain product for less than £15. The Pronto Seed Food Super Speedy Grass Seed promises swift results - even in the middle of a heatwave. Easy to use and going for a wallet-friendly price, it is praised amongst shoppers for "delivering swift results" with some users claiming visible regrowth in as little as just seven days. Eager beavers can grab a box with next day delivery for Amazon Prime members - and prices start from £14.49 for a 1.4kg box. The rapid-growth grass seed is perfect for quick lawn repairs or new turf. The premium blend grows into a dense, hard-wearing lawn that stands up to foot traffic, pets and unpredictable weather. Specially formulated for avid British gardeners, this seed can be sown from March all the way through to the month of October. This seed mix is also shade-tolerant and performs well even in low-nutrient conditions. According to the description online, the 1.4kg pack of Pronto seeds can cover up to 84m² when used for overseeding or 42m² when creating a new lawn from prepared soil. Suitable for use in various weather conditions, the affordable seed is can function in both shaded and sunlit locations. I transformed my garden patio into summer haven for less than £100 with cheap B&M buys including gadget to keep bugs out Designed for rapid germination, the bargain find claims to be able to provide coverage in just two weeks - ideal if you're hosting a BBQ party in July. Cash-savvy Amazon customers who have already purchased the Pronto Super Speedy Lawn Seed have given it an impressive 4.2 out of 5-star rating across 21,000 reviews. One shopper said: "I recently purchased Pronto Seed Grass Seed to rejuvenate my lawn, and I am thrilled with the results! ''After carefully preparing my garden and ensuring the right conditions for growth, I can confidently say that this product has exceeded my expectations in delivering a lush, green lawn." A second added: "Speedy is an undertstatement! Wow! Planted the Tuesday evening during the heatwave as I knew we would be getting some thundershowers in the next few days. ''Cannot believe the growth in one week! I have just filled in the patches, due to me spreading by hand, and can't wait to see the end result." Another buyer shared their experience: "It really did start growing in under 14 days. ''I was sceptical, and nothing really happened before day 10, but it's now day 13 and there's a lot of grass coming up." Some buyers were not so impressed. One left a measly three-star review that said: "The results were just okay, nothing special, and I didn't notice that it grew faster than the normal grass seeds." Overall, gardeners appeared to be impressed by the product. #

Amazon is investing £40 billion in the UK over the next three years, boosting regional growth New fulfilment centres in Hull and Northampton will create at least 4,000 jobs by 2026 Two more warehouses planned for the East Midlands in 2027 will add thousands more roles Investment also includes upgrades to data centres, tech like drones, and Amazon's London HQ The move supports the government's 'levelling up' agenda, spreading innovation outside London Amazon is making a bold bet on Britain's regions, announcing a landmark £40 billion investment aimed at creating jobs and fuelling economic growth far beyond the traditional powerhouses of London and the South East. At the heart of the expansion are four new fulfilment centres – including confirmed sites in Hull and Northampton – which will bring at least 4,000 new roles by 2026. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Two more large-scale warehouse facilities are planned for the East Midlands in 2027, likely adding thousands more jobs, though the exact locations remain under wraps. But this isn't just about warehouses. Amazon's investment, which spans the next three years, also includes billions in data infrastructure, cutting-edge technologies like drones and robotics, improvements to staff wages and benefits, and a major upgrade to its London headquarters in Shoreditch. (Photo:) | Getty Images The scale and spread of the spending signals a new chapter in Amazon's UK strategy – one that aligns with the government's 'levelling up' agenda and sends a strong message to global investors: Britain, post-Brexit and amid political change, is still a key destination for innovation and growth. Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer called it a 'massive vote of confidence in the UK,' while Chancellor Rachel Reeves described it as a 'powerful endorsement of Britain's economic strengths.' Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Amazon CEO Andy Jassy emphasised the company's commitment to reaching every corner of the UK. He said: 'When Amazon invests, it's not only in London and the South East – we're bringing innovation and job creation to communities throughout England, Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland.' What does it mean for the UK economy? With more than 75,000 already on its payroll, Amazon is one of the UK's largest private sector employers. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad This new injection of funding not only strengthens its logistics network but also helps build long-term regional resilience by introducing high-tech jobs, skills training, and digital infrastructure in under-served areas. For Hull, Northampton, and the East Midlands, it means more than just jobs – it could mark the beginning of a deeper transformation, bringing global tech investment into areas historically overlooked. As the UK economy seeks stable ground and sustainable growth, this investment could provide a much-needed anchor. Are you struggling to make ends meet as costs continue to rise?
