Amazon Prime Day is just around the corner and that means it’s a great time to stock up on games for your classroom, homeschool resource collection, and just for gifts! What’s even better is that many retailers are working to compete with Amazon on this day.

So don’t just sit on Amazon, check your local retailers to see if they’re running specials, look on Target, and scour some of your favorite game manufacturers.

Regardless here are some great ways to prepare for the Black Friday of the summer.

How to save money on games through Amazon Prime Day

First and foremost, if you’re not a prime member, the 30 day free trial qualifies you to get the prime day deals! Use our affiliate link to  Try Amazon Prime with the 30-Day Free Trial! You can also gift a membership or trial to someone.

Add items to your Cart in advance

This is one of the fastest ways to know if something you’re interested in is on sale.

More than that this helps you save the most money because only the things you’d already planned on purchasing are what you’re getting alerts for because since it’s in your cart, Amazon sill send you a quick email alert.

Camel Camel Camel

You can also get a feel for how expensive games are on average so you know if you’re getting a good deal or not. You can also set alerts through their site, but it’s not typically as fast as Amazon itself.

Don’t forget gaming supplies

Things like extra dice, dice towers, card sleeves, card holders, and more are likely to be on sale as well and this is the perfect time to make sure you have what you need to replace missing pieces and/or make your own board games!

Have a pre-made wish list to send to relatives

Let your friends and family know how to plan for gifts in the future and they can add things to their carts as well.

Have a pre-paid gift card ready

Why? This will help you limit your own spending instead of buying things you don’t need. You’re more likely to analyze what you really want or need in order to stay within your budget.

Watch other retailers

Again, don’t be shy about looking at Walmart, eBay, Miniature Market, Target, Asmodee, and other retailers because they want the sale too. It’s legitimately like Black Friday in July.
