And Prime Day is upon us which means shoppers can snap up some mega deals.
This year, the event has been extended to four days, running from July 8 till July 11.
This is the longest time the sales event has run for, initially launching in 2015 as a 24-hour event and later being extended to two days long.
It gives shoppers more time to find the best bargains across beauty, tech and homeware sections.
And punters can scoop two Echo Pop speakers for a paltry £45.98.
The total price for this huge bundle of smart devices usually costs a whopping £109.97, meaning customers will snag an extra Echo Pop free of charge.
The only thing you'll need to claim is a Prime account which will set you back £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.
Amazon offers students a special Prime Student membership that comes with all the same perks as regular Prime but at a serious discount – just £4.49 monthly.
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.

Retailers log $7.9 billion in online sales in first 24 hours of Prime Day
U.S. online sales jumped 9.9% year over year to $7.9 billion on Tuesday, the kickoff of Amazon 's Prime Day megasale, according to Adobe Analytics. At that level, it marks the 'single biggest e-commerce day so far this year,' Adobe said. It also eclipsed total online spending during Thanksgiving last year, when sales on the holiday reached $6.1 billion. Amazon's Prime Day bargain blitz began on Tuesday and lasts through Friday. The event, first launched in 2015 as a way to hook new Prime members, has pushed other retailers to launch counterprogramming. Walmart 's six-day deals event also started Tuesday, while Target Circle Week kicked off on Sunday and Best Buy launched a Black Friday in July promotion that began Monday. Home and outdoor goods showed signs of strong demand during the first day of Amazon's discount event, said Kashif Zafar, CEO of Xnurta, an advertising platform that serves more than 20,000 online businesses. Other historically well-performing categories such as beauty and household essentials saw softer demand early on, but could see demand pick up as Prime Day continues, he added. 'Early Prime Day numbers might look soft compared to last year's surge, but it's too early to call the event a miss,' Zafar said in an email. 'With four days instead of two, we're seeing a different rhythm, consumers are spreading out their purchases.' Adobe expects online sales to reach $23.8 billion across all retailers during the 96-hour event, a level that's 'equivalent to two Black Fridays.' U.S. online shoppers spent $14.2 billion during the 48-hour Prime Day event last year, according to Adobe. This year's Prime Day is landing at an uncertain time for retailers and consumers as they grapple with the fallout of President Donald Trump 's unpredictable tariff policies. U.S. consumer confidence worsened in June after improving in May as Americans remained concerned about the tariffs' effect on the economy and prices, according to the Conference Board. Amazon CEO Andy Jassy said last month the company hasn't seen prices 'appreciably go up' on its site as a result of tariffs. Some third-party sellers previously told CNBC they were considering raising or had already raised the price of some of their products manufactured in China as the cost of tariffs became burdensome.

One in five Brits fall victim to at least one ticket scam – how savvy are you?
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) ONE in five Brits have fallen victim to a ticket scam, according to a huge study. A poll of 2000 adults found that victims lost an average of £186 through ticket fraud, with experts creating a quiz to help concertgoers spot scams in the future. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 1 One in four Brits have been the victim of a ticket scam Credit: Getty A further 28 per cent have had a "near miss", leaving them feeling disappointed, frustrated and angry. And 27 per cent kept their near miss – or actual online ticketing scam – secret from other people. To combat ticket fraud, an expert from The Society of Ticket Agents and Retailer (STAR), which counts Ticketmaster as members, has shared the top red flags to help you avoid becoming a victim. Jonathan Brown, chief executive of the STAR, said: 'Fraudsters are getting smarter, but there are ways to stay safe. 'Stick to secure, verified sellers to make sure your ticket leads to the real experience and not to disappointment.' 'Buying from a STAR member is one of the best ways to protect yourself and you'll have access to our Alternative Dispute Resolution service if anything goes wrong.' A spokesperson from Ticketmaster added: "Our top piece of advice when purchasing tickets is to avoid buying from social media at all costs - you never know who is on the other side of the screen. 'As demand surges for concerts, sports events and festivals, fraudsters often take advantage of that urgency, luring people in with deals that are simply too good to be true. 'Everyone deserves to enjoy their favourite events without worrying about being scammed. 'By staying vigilant, doing a quick bit of research and resisting the pressure to act fast, you can help protect yourself and others from falling victim to ticket fraud.' Hundreds of Oasis fans left heartbroken after ticket sites time out at checkout in booking 'bloodbath' The research also found that of those who have had a near-miss, 72 per cent noticed something fishy about the transaction and pulled out. But 43 per cent were saved when their banking app suggested they check further details, and it made them think twice. Scammers are most likely to target music concerts, followed by sporting events and festivals, according to the figures. And 24 per cent have even witnessed scam-like behaviour when trying to buy tickets to family or children's events. Worryingly, only 60 per cent of those polled would be confident they could spot a ticketing scam online. And of those who have bought tickets in the past from an unofficial source, almost half (44 per cent) knew full well it wasn't a completely safe way of doing so. Ticketmaster's spokesperson added: 'Some scammers even try to sell you tickets before the event is on sale, remember that this will always be a fake unless it's an official presale. 'Another tactic is sending fans a link to a replica of an official ticketing website – so go directly to the page rather than following links.' Superintendent Amanda Wolf, head of the National Fraud Intelligence Bureau at the City of London Police said: 'This summer we're seeing all the biggest ticketed concerts and events happen, like the Oasis reunion tour, but those scrambling to buy last minute tickets have become prime targets for fraudsters. 'Remember to take a moment and Stop! Think Fraud before buying tickets through social media. "Look out for unsolicited or unexpected messages selling sold-out tickets as it could be a fraudster. 'Stay safe and follow Action Fraud's advice to protect yourself from fraud.'
