What is Amazon Prime Early Access Sale?

During Amazon Prime Days last July, we had determined that Amazon was not going to bring you a puppy. So you said, “a kitty then?” I asked and they are still being real sticklers about it! No kitty for this sale either! But… they said YES to the home decor and gifts that I know you want almost as much!

Easy 3- Step Shopping Guide

With the holidays approaching at record speed, I realized this morning that I’m not ready… not even close! There’s holiday decorating to think about, Christmas gifts to purchase, menus to plan… I’m exhausted already. So I will do what I always. Oh Amazon!!! Amazon!!! Help!!!

During the next two days I will make a serious dent in all of it. I’m reposting my 3 step guide to help you make the most impact when shopping the Amazon Prime Early Access Sale. I’ll be sharing links to my favorite home decor as well as gift lists for Christmas. There really just isn’t a minute to spare! And we’re off…

Step 1 – Get Your Amazon Prime Membership

It all starts with a Prime membership. Do you have yours?? The link below will let you try Prime free for 30 days complete with all the benefits!

If you already have your membership, now is the perfect time to gift one to someone else! (There are also discounts for your college student or for those on government assistance programs as well.)

A Prime membership is 14.99 a month or $139.00 per year. For me, it more than pays for itself with free shipping and movies. Once your free trial is up, you will be charged the annual fee. So… if for some reason you want to cancel (although I can’t imagine that) be sure to do it before your trial is up.

What drew me to Prime all those years ago was, of course, the free shipping. I love being able to order today and have it at my door so quickly. Even the same day in some cases. More importantly, I can have a gift shipped directly to a friend without ever leaving the house or paying exorbitant shipping fees. But there are so many other benefits too!

Prime Video is another big perk. Having access to so many titles is something I take advantage of every single day. I can even subscribe to some premium cable channels through Prime without having cable installed in my home.

Amazon Music includes over 2 million songs free to Prime members. You can upgrade to Prime Music Unlimited for access to over 9 million. I love listening to podcasts when I’m running errands and there is such a great selection here!

Prime Try Before You Buy is my latest obsession. I can chose up to 6 outfits to try in my own home and only pay for the ones I keep. Returns are so easy too! You can even hire a personal shopper if you choose to.

Prime Reading gives members unlimited access to a rotating catalog of ebooks and audio books at no additional cost.

Whole Foods Discounts Although I don’t have a Whole Foods close enough to justify my weekly shopping, it is my holiday savior. With vegans and vegetarians in my family, it’s my favorite place for holiday meals. Since I’m not willing to learn to cook all over again, I can purchase complete vegan dinners there! You can scan items in store for even more member discounts! Check out the benefits below.

Step 2 – Check Todays Deals Often

I’ve downloaded the Amazon mobile app to my phone. It makes it just so easy to check things on the run!

You can get help from Alexa during the sale and set alerts on the app too!

Step 3 – Shop Till You Drop!

If you need an explanation on this step… I’m sorry and we can’t be friends!!!

I’ll be sharing my favorite picks and updating it often through the sale.

What’s in My Cart – October 11

This morning I’m concentrating on Christmas gifts for friends. Of course, there’s a lot of home decor items. It’s kind of expected from me! I’ve got a few items in my cart that I’m really excited about.

I also wanted to get some of the big items out of the way!

I am one of those ice freaks. No, not the kind you skate on but the ice that goes in a drink. (Have you ever stopped at Sonic just to buy a bag of their ice? Try it… it’s a real thing.) Sure the ice maker on my fridge works but it doesn’t produce those little nuggets I love. Last year my husband got me an ice maker that actually does. It’s on sale today so I bought one for a gift this year.
