Amazon Prime Days are back, and it’s the longest one yet! Starting July 8 at 12:01 a.m. PDT and running through July 11, you’ve got four full days to get the best deals, enter contests, and even stream a brand-new Canadian music documentary.
Who doesn’t like to shop from home while sipping a cup of tea?
🔥 Early Prime Day Deals in Canada
The early deals are already rolling out, especially on Amazon’s own devices, like:
- Echo Pop

And they’re at some of the lowest prices we’ve seen yet.
You’ll also find deals on Canadian brands like:
- Cetaphil (for that gentle skincare glow),

- and Only One Treats (for the furry ones in your life).
🎯 Smart Ways to Save Even More on Prime Day
Let’s stretch your dollar further! Here are some easy tips for maximizing your Prime Day savings:
✅ Set a Budget: Prime Days are fun and it’s easy to overspend. Before you fill your cart, decide what you actually need (and want) and stick to a spending limit.
✅ Use the Watchlist & Notifications: Use Amazon’s “Watch this Deal” feature so you’ll get notified when something you’ve been eyeing drops in price.
✅ Check Lightning Deals Often: These short-term deals go fast, so check back every few hours. Set a reminder or ask Alexa to do it for you!
✅ Compare Prices with CamelCamelCamel.ca: This free tool shows you price history for Amazon items so you can see if you’re getting a deal.
✅ Stack Rewards: Use a cashback credit card to double-dip on points or cashback.
✅ Share a Prime Membership: Did you know Amazon lets you share select Prime benefits with another adult in your household? Split the cost and save even more.
✅ Use Subscribe & Save: Need household or beauty basics? If the Subscribe & Save option is on sale, you can cancel the subscription after your order ships—but still get the discount.
🎁 Win Big with Giftmania
Amazon’s Giftmania contest is back—and this year features WWE legend Bret “The Hitman” Hart and Lilly Singh.
- Opt in and you could win trips, sports tickets, or gear from brands like Apple, Sony, and Google.
- Every purchase over $20 gets you one entry.
- Bonus entries for shopping through the app or from featured brands (including Apple!).
The contest runs until July 11.
And don’t forget: Aeroplan members can earn up to 10x points during Prime Day if you shop through the Aeroplan eStore. Ten lucky folks will even win 1 million Aeroplan points. That’s a whole lot of travel potential.
🎸 Exclusive Prime Video Doc: Simple Plan: The Kids in the Crowd
Launching on July 8, this nostalgic new documentary follows Montreal’s own Simple Plan from garage band beginnings to pop-punk legends. The film includes behind-the-scenes footage and interviews with Avril Lavigne, Mark Hoppus (Blink-182), and more.
