FULL STORY ======================================================================

Despite the sorry state of economies the world over, a surprising number of online shoppers are ready to take part in this years Amazon Prime Day sales but only a fraction plan to spend big.

According to a recent survey conducted by consumer research firm Numerator, 57% of those aware of Amazon Prime Day say they intend to participate in the two-day sale event which is happening between Tuesday July 12 and Wednesday July 13 this year with holiday gifts and back-to-school gear among the most common items on respondents shopping lists.

However, just 15% of those surveyed say they plan to buy higher-priced items. A desire to save money (30%), a lack of spare cash (21%) and inflation (20%) were the main reasons given by respondents who intend to skip this years
Prime Day sales entirely.

The latter part of Numerators findings dont come as a surprise 2022 has proven a particularly tough year for consumers wallets, with the ongoing global pandemic, war in Ukraine and general living cost increases among the principal causes of the squeeze.

It is a surprise, though, to learn that more than half of those aware of
Prime Days existence plan to make use of Amazons annual sale event.

The two-day deal bonanza typically sees Amazon-branded products like Echo devices and Kindles discounted the most, but plenty more items including TVs, games consoles, kitchenware and home appliances are primed (thank you) to enjoy price cuts, too.

Well be rounding up all the best deals in our dedicated Prime Day deals hub, but several early Prime Day offers are already live right now (weve detailed the best of the bunch in the US and UK at the bottom of this article).
