Best Discounts, Deals, Tips on What to Shop – The Hollywood Reporter

Amazon Prime Day, aka the Super Bowl for online deal hunters, is almost over. (And yes, the “day” actually spans 48 hours.) The Hollywood Reporter‘s team of lifestyle experts and shopping editors have scoured countless spreadsheets and pages of deals to find more than 50 essential deals and the biggest discounts to shop in the final hours of Prime Day 2023.

After weeks of hype, the two-day shopping event officially kicked off on July 11 with up to 75 percent off Amazon’s own lineup of devices (including Fire TVs and tablets), up to 60 percent top-rated electronics from Apple and Sony, up to 50 percent off Barbie products and Prime Video channels, up to 40 percent off best-selling beauty and designer fashion, up to 40 percent off Bose headphones and soundbars, Amazon Essentials and Simple Joys by Carter’s clothing starting at $10, epic deals on Dyson and Theragun and much more. Per Amazon, “new deals will drop every 30 minutes during select periods throughout the event.”

Amazon rolled out early Prime Day deals on its own devices and bundles, back-to-school essentials, college must-haves and popular products from small businesses (including Black-, women-, and military family-owned brands and independent makers). Now that the big shopping day has come, there are even deeper discounts to shop today and tomorrow.
