Amason Prime Day is finally upon us. Amazon’s attempt at creating a Black Friday in the middle of the year while also boosting its prime memberships. No wonder it now owns 49% of all the e-commerce market in the US.
It doesn’t officially start for a few more hours but I will update this post as and when new deals become available.
If you don’t have a Prime account you can still get in on the deals by signing up to a 30-day free trial, I know a lot of people that just redo this deal, though I buy so much from Amazon I just fork out for it.
If you are an Amazon Prime Student member you can get £15 off a £60 spend with the code STUDENT15

Lightning Deals
Scrolling through all 86 pages of the lightning deals there were practically none worth mentioning, no big names the only 2 that caught my eye were:
Partaker Mini Pc Firewall Mikrotik Pfsense VPN Network Router which starts at 12:59 pm current price is £246.00 – this could make a worthy buy if you want to deploy your own PFSense router.
Not tech related but the Beer Hawk Sommelier’s Craft Beer Experience, Case of 12 was the only other thing that caught my eye current price of £32.95 it will probably drop to £24, but hopefully, it will go to £18 at which point I may buy it!
