LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- Get ready to shop! Everyone's favorite sale is coming up - Amazon Prime Day!

July 16 and 17 is Prime Day and savvy shoppers know it's a great time to buy home goods and small appliances.

With two days of discounts, will you really find bargains? Some things you may want to hold off on buying.

How do you shop? First thing is to join Amazon Prime. Second, check Amazon every hour or two, as deals change constantly.

Third, create a watch list so you receive alerts when the price drops.

Consumer reports said you can expect huge markdowns on Amazon related items, such as:

  • Alexa devices
  • Ring doorbells and cameras
  • Firesticks
  • Kindles
  • Amazon basic merchandise

Plus, lots of household items.

Consumer reports also say Black Friday, not Prime Day, is the best time to buy a big screen TV, unless you want an Amazon branded TV.

Also, gaming consoles tend to have the best deals on Black Friday.

Regardless, it's still a great week to shop, you may just want to hold off on some specific items a little while longer.
