Do you really save money on Prime Day?
Yes, many deals are real, especially on things like Apple AirPods, laptops, robot vacuums, and smart devices. People have saved between 30% to 70% on some items. Amazon products like Kindles, Fire TVs, Echo Dots usually have the biggest discounts, as mentioned in the report by Yahoo Finance.
In 2023, the total savings on discounted prices was about $2.5 billion. So if you’re buying something you actually need, you can save a lot.
But be careful: Not all deals are good
Some deals look big because of “price anchoring” — sellers show fake high prices to make discounts look bigger. Sometimes the “sale” price is just the regular price it had before a fake increase, as stated by Yahoo Finance.
Flash sales and countdown timers can make you buy things you don’t really need. If you buy something you weren’t planning to, you’re not really saving.
