By Kate Musgrove
June 21, 2023Amazon Prime Day is one of the most-anticipated shopping events in Canada and has quickly grown to become the #3 biggest event on RedFlagDeals after Black Friday and Boxing Day. Due to its undeniable popularity and enormous levels of hype, you might be asking yourself – When is Amazon Prime Day?
Prime Day 2023 – July 11-12
Prime Early Access Sale 2023 – we don't know yet, but last year it was in mid-October!
Amazon Canada held Prime Day 2022 on July 12 and 13 and the event was a huge success for Amazon, as the company announced afterwards that it was the biggest Prime Day ever. Prime Day 2022 was also the first time Amazon held their flagship shopping event in Canada since 2020, after the event was cancelled in 2021 due to pandemic-related shipping and supply chain concerns. We're looking forward to another good sale. If you're not a Prime Member, it's worth signing up for a free trial! You'll get 30 days of no-obligation free shipping and fantastic deals. And right now, you can get a year of free DoorDash DashPass with your Prime Membership. If you're a student, you can get an extended six-month free trial of Amazon Prime Student here!

What's Prime Day?
Prime Day is Amazon's worldwide shopping event held exclusively for Prime members, originally as a one-day event from 2015-2017, then shifting to a two-day event since 2018. Prime Day is typically held in mid-July, with notable exceptions coming in 2020 and 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

What's the Deal?
Prime Day deals are a mystery until the event starts, but Amazon usually releases a sneak peek before each event. In recent years, it's been a near-certainty that you'll find the lowest prices of the year on first-party devices like Echo speakers and Fire TV streaming sticks, along with significant discounts on products like Instant Pot cookers, rarely-discounted LEGO sets, computer components, video games and much more.

View allDid some other minor spend on stuff, most of the other prime day discounts were stuff coming down to their typical BF/boxing day levels, it just timed out well as time to buy.
Sadly, some of my purchases qualified for aeroplan estore bonus but not the big ticket.
- Apple TV 4K (64 GB) for $99.00
- Apple Watch Series 8 for $409.00
Overall, I'm pretty happy with how it went.
I dont see coupons on keepa though, which can be misleading sometimes.
Update: Amazon has notified me that my order is being cancelled and the package is being returned to them. I will be getting a refund. I guess that means that the ASL truck ran over my box. So much for ******* Prime Day.
Having the keepa and camel plugins showed the real/historical prices for everything and most of the deals were just the regular discounted prices for things.
So disappointing.
I had money in hand, ready to spend on things I didn't really need, if they were discounted enough.
Seller coupons + price tracking = way better deals than prime day!
First world problems.
My first choice was always Bose
My second was Sony
Then I posted the thread a few days ago … in hopes that there would be a Prime Days Sale … but also to get feedback from actual RFD owners
Results over there were definitely mixed
More pro posts for Bose … than Sony tho
Good Prime Day pricing ended up sealing the deal for me
I have an ongoing WANTS & NEEDS LIST
Only buying stuff when it’s at a great price
NEEDS = Stock up when the price is at its lowest on groceries, household supplies etc
WANTS = Anything that’s not an absolute need in life (the Wish List )
I picked up 2 items from my WANTS LIST
One a far bigger splurge than the other … but I feel I got the best deal possible in the last year or so
Bose QC 45 headphones (and the Costco equivalent = Bose SE )
Both were awesome priced

When they arrive, I’ll be keeping whichever one I like best
Lol, my plans were to return the 2nd set … but now one my kids is interested in it
I may keep it / gift it for their upcoming Bday
So, nothing goes to waste … an awesome deal is something others truly recognize too
My 65" OLED fantasy unfulfilled
Due to the new RFD rule of only allowing "high quality" 3rd party sellers, most of the good deals were missed. I got some new French press mesh filters for $3 for a 4-pack. And 2.1kg of hazelnuts for $48.
If you're not using Camelx3 or Keepa, you're enriching Bezos.
The fall "Prime Day" is the one that usually isn't as good but even then, I'll often find something on sale that I need. My fave thing about Prime Day is that it helps me clear out a large portion of my wish list in one shot, rather than have to wait for deals to randomly appear throughout the year.
Mens socks
Keurig
Hedge trimmer
Coffee pods batteries
Spices
Candles
The prices were good but not great. Everything will get used. Got a warranty on the keurig. Spent close to $600 which is significant for us and much more than last year.
- F1 Manager 2023 for PS5 ($45.27)
- Anther clothing steamer ($144.63)
- Cordless tire inflator ($50.84)
- Cottonelle flushable wipes ($22.57)
- Airpods 2 ($260.33)
- Samodra bidets x 2 ($106.28)
- Kraus KPF-1690BGMB Kitchen faucet ( $363.43)
- Waterdrop 17UA undersink filter ($90.39)
- Huepar laser level ($68.59)
- Theraface Pro ($496.07)
All of this stuff was at ATL, possible price error or a decent enough discount that it was worth buying as I have been tracking these things for sometime, others were impulse buyers like the Airpods. Good job Amazon for selling me tons of random stuff I guess.
One of the worst sales I've seen in my entire life.
Is this only 2 days?
Some things I wanted like USB-C dock for Macbook Air arrived but dead, had to reorder from another brand, only things I kept from yesterday was my Listerine and Taco kit.. wasted trip on returns lol
