Amazon’s next Prime Day event hasn’t officially started, but the retail giant is already whetting appetites with a selection of early deals ahead of its four-day sale. While the most significant discounts are anticipated next month, many current offers are already enticing, particularly for Prime members looking to snag deals on Amazon’s devices or services.
From record lows on security gear and power stations to solid deals on affordable streaming devices, these early discounts present a prime opportunity to save before the main event kicks off on July 8th.
