Final hours to take home these tech finds
When it comes to smaller tech (think robot vacuums, dehumidifiers, TVs, and smart speakers), Amazon Prime Day usually offers far better discounts than those seen over the EOFY sale period.
In particular, Amazon are drastically dropping prices across their own tech ecosystem, including items like Ring doorbells, Kindle, and Echo devices. Better yet, the retail giant also uses its immense buying power to drop prices on popular brands like Dyson, Philips, and Ecovacs lower than standard retail.
We’re getting techy with these finds:
Ring Doorbell Plus (2nd Gen)
$249 at Amazon
Amazon Kindle 16GB

Pros and Cons: EOFY vs. Amazon Prime Day
If you missed June’s EOFY sales, don’t just wallow in non-buyer’s regret. Prime Day often sees even better discounts across select product categories. And if you’re wondering whether now is really the best time to buy, or whether to hold out for Black Friday (or next year’s EOFY sales), here’s a quick comparison chart of what to expect from each
If you do decide to wait, however, just make sure you’ll actually be able to hold out; there’s nothing worse than caving for full price.
EOFY Sales (June)
- Pros: Long shopping window (the entire month of June); excellent finance and buy-now-pay-later options on big purchases; immediate local pick-up options.
- Cons: Stock is strictly limited; once a clearance item sells out, it’s gone for good.
Amazon Prime Day (July 7–13)
- Pros: Rapid, free delivery for Prime members; incredible “Lightning Deals” that drop prices to historic lows for short windows.
- Cons: You must have an active Amazon Prime membership to access the deals ($9.99/month or via a 30-day free trial); the fast-paced nature can trigger impulse buying.
3 Golden rules for smart mid-year shopping
No matter which sales event you choose, follow these three rules to ensure you are genuinely getting a bargain:
- Use Price Tracking Tools: Don’t just trust a “was/is” price tag. Use free price-tracking sites to see the exact price history of an item over the last 12 months.
- Factor in Delivery Costs: A massive discount on an EOFY washing machine can quickly be wiped out by a $150 delivery and installation fee. Check the fine print before checking out.
- Know the Return Policy: Amazon offers a highly robust, hassle-free 30-day return policy on most items.
