Are you hoping to find some great deals over the Prime Week sales next week? Whether you are new to Prime Day or a seasoned shopper, here are some of my tips to getting the best deals, making sure you really have a deal and not missing all the perks!
Get a Trial Membership Now
First off, you must be a Prime member to shop most of the sales. If you aren’t a prime member you won’t even see the sale prices when you browse the site. Go ahead and sign up for a 30-day trial membership now. If you are a student (or have one living in the house) you can get a 6-month free trial of Amazon Student Prime and still have access to the sales.
Price Deals Across Other Sites
As you hunt for deals, the savings they will show is not always truthful. Quickly stick the product in a google search, or hunt across a few other large sites to see if the sale price is a real sale. You can also check Camel Camel Camel to see the price of a product on Amazon over the last 6 months. This helps you confidently buy knowing you really are getting a deal!!
Look for Coupons and Extra Discounts
Many times Prime Day deals will be through exclusive coupons. When you first click on the product the price won’t look different, instead you’ll see a “clipable” coupon for Prime Members only for a large percentage off! Make sure you clip those coupons to get the deals you want.
Always Select Subscribe & Save
If there is ever an option to “Subscribe & Save” you should always select it! Even if it’s a $150 electric toothbrush… you are going to get an extra 5% to 15% off and can ALWAYS cancel the future order. I always set the next shipment to be 3-6 months out so I have plenty of time to go in a cancel. You can manage all current subscriptions in your account here.
Saving money can’t get any easier than using Circle coupons in Target’s mobile app! These offers come off instantly at the register and most are good on up to 4 items.
And now most Circle offers now apply automatically when you check out – no need to search the app to select potential offers (except for Manufacturer coupons or alcohol rebates.)
Check out all of the many new Target Circle Week offers we have found so far this week, it’s quite a long list with some sweet high value offers!
Note: look at the individual deals in the Circle app to get more details on which items are included in the offers.

Every so often I like to give you a look at what is actually going on in the kitchen at my house in terms of what we’re eating. Of course, my plan isn’t always what happens, and I have to be flexible depending on the day. This is just my loose schedule, and if I can, I like to do a lot of prep work all on one day so that meals are easy that week. If you haven’t seen any of my previous plans, this isn’t everything we’re eating, and some of my kids eat something even simpler. I just try to plan a couple things for breakfast and lunch each week that are a bit more substantial. My kids are free to add fruit or raw veggies or other things along to lunch, and I usually make some kind of protein at breakfast (sausage, bacon, etc.)
Here’s my weekly meal plan for July 7.
Southern Savers FREE Weekly Meal Plan for July 7 to July 13
Chocolate banana bread
Breakfast
Oven nachos
Lunch
Smothered pork chops
