If youre a deal hog, youve probably already told Alexa to get you out of bed next Tuesday at 3 am the time when Amazons 2023 Prime Day event kicks off.
The company promises more deals than ever before, with 48 hours of discounts on millions of products. Plus, its adding a new twist by dropping new deals every 30 minutes during select periods.
In an email to ConsumerAffairs, Amazon said the deals will be highlighted across the beauty, fashion, fitness, electronics, toys, and Amazon device categories, but thats a little too big picture, right? Digging deeper, heres what we found as far as specific deals are concerned.

How about up to 90% off channels & titles for Prime members? DealNews turned ConsumerAffairs on to this gem: Prime members can save on 2-month subscriptions to channels including Paramount+ (50% off), AMC+ (50% off), and Starz (90% off), as well as individual titles like Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves, Black Adam, and select Indiana Jones movies.
