Prime Day Deals Preview: 5 Predictions for 2022

1. Home and Garden Products Will Dominate

Every year, deals on home and garden products make up a large chunk of Prime Day offerings, and we're predicting that this year won't be any different. In 2020, about 37% of the deals we saw came from home and garden categories, while last year they accounted for roughly 39% of the offers during the big event. That's more than any other product category by a long shot.

Look for smart bulbs to be priced around $11, Blink security kits to cost $60, plus check for special prices on home furniture, vacuums, and kitchen items.

2. Amazon Devices Will Be Up to 55% Off

Given that Prime Day is an Amazon-centric shopping holiday, it's no surprise that some of the best deals we see are on Amazon items themselves. One of the biggest opportunities for savings is on Amazon devices, and this year the retailer is advertising up to 55% off the category as a whole. That percentage applies to early Prime Day deals, so the discount could go even higher on Prime Day itself!

Discounted Amazon devices on Prime Day will include select Echo Show models, the Kindle Paperwhite, and the latest Echo Dot.

Some of the items highlighted for discounts include the following:

Select Echo Show devices
Kindle Paperwhite
Fire 7 Tablet (2019 release)
Echo Dot (4th gen) with a free smart bulb
Ring Alarm 8-piece security kit
Blink Video Doorbell

You'll also see deals on the Amazon Glow with Tangram Bits, Halo Band, Luna Controller, and other items.

3. TVs Will Start at $90

We're used to seeing excellent TV deals during Black Friday sales; that said, Prime Day can be hit or miss. This year, though, it seems like Amazon is going to be offering plenty of notable TV savings to celebrate their holiday.

Amazon is promoting early deals on Fire TVs that start at just $89.99, coming from brands like Toshiba, Insignia, Pioneer, and Amazon itself. TV sizes range from 24" to 75", with discounts up to 50% off. Whether you're sending kids off to college or just looking for an affordable set for yourself, these deals are worth checking out.

4. Gamers Will Get Freebies

Part of the Prime Day celebration will include special offers from Prime Gaming, including more than 30 free games for Prime members to claim. There are also more than 25 games that members can freeload through July 13. Highlighted titles to claim include the following:

Mass Effect Legendary Edition
Need for Speed: Heat
Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy

Those are some of the bigger titles that will be available. Games for freeloading include HUE, Serial Cleaner, The Darkside Detective, and others.

5. Fewer In-Store Deals Will Be Available

Given that Amazon recently cut the free delivery from Whole Foods perk, one of our Prime Day predictions is that the 2022 shopping event won't have a ton of in-store deals. However, we're not saying you won't have any offers to shop in-person.

Fire TVs will start at just $89.99 for Prime Day, and come from brands like Toshiba, Insignia, Pioneer, and Amazon.

In fact, starting on June 29, Prime members can take advantage of early deals at Amazon Fresh stores. Select everyday essentials will be 20% off, but even better is the fact that this offer is slated to be year-round. Prime members will just have to scan the Amazon app during checkout or use the same card linked to their Prime account in order to save all year long.
