When is Amazon's Prime Day event?
The online retailer recently confirmed that its massive summer sale will officially kick off on July 8 this year, and will run through July 11. However, the Fourth of July is just a few days earlier, and several retailers will be offering a massive slate of Independence Day deals as well. Amazon isn't having an official Fourth of July sale, but it will be competing with other retailers by offering tons of early Prime Day deals, which you can shop right now.
Are Amazon Prime Day deals worth buying?
Depending on what you are after, the short answer is yes. You can expect thousands of items to go on sale, including some deals that match or exceed the previous all-time low prices. Just note that Amazon stock can fluctuate wildly, which means there's no telling how long the item will remain on sale or available. If you see a deal you don't want to miss, we'd recommend taking advantage of those savings sooner rather than later.
Will other retailers be offering Prime Day deals?
While the official Prime Day is exclusive to Amazon, other retailers will absolutely be getting in on the action. Walmart has already announced that it will be having its own summer sale event that runs from July 8 to July 13, and it's likely that at least a few other competitors will follow suit. Plus, we anticipate that many Fourth of July deals and sales will spill over into Prime Day.

How we choose the best Amazon Prime Day deals
Many of us here at CNET have covered shopping events for several years, including Black Friday, Prime Day, Memorial Day and countless other sales. In that time, we've learned how to spot the best deals among a sea of thousands of superficial offers and scams, and we only surface the best offers from trusted retailers. We look for real discounts, quality reviews and remaining sale time when choosing the best deals to show you.
Real discounts mean genuine savings. We check pricing history for products listed as on sale so we know when it's a case of an inflated list price rather than an actual discount.
Quality reviews and testing are super important for any product. A discount isn't worthwhile if it results in a subpar product experience, no matter how much you saved.
Remaining sale time is important, too. Some deals are only around for a short time or may be limited in supply. If that's the case, we'll let you know upfront so you don't come back to the deal later only to be disappointed.
