It’s Amazon Prime Day 2021, and we’re oh-so-excited about it. From 50% off Calphalon’s 11-piece cookware set to $40 off AirPods, there are endless deals offered to Prime-exclusive shoppers today and tomorrow. But, not all of these deals run for 48 hours.
Aside from spotlight deals available until Prime Day’s end, Amazon is promoting Lightning Deals, which typically last anywhere from two to five hours and are constantly cycled on-site. But don’t worry — we rounded up the best ones to snag before they’re gone and are updating the list every hour or so. We love a good deal, and we want you to experience a good deal.
Before you begin browsing the retailer’s endless dropdowns, make sure you’re logged on with your Amazon Prime account or sign up for a free 30-day trial to unleash the savings.
