Better late than never! Amazon's biggest sale event of the year finally has a start date. Prime Day 2021 will span June 21 and 22, and over the two-day sale, you'll be able to shop top kitchen brands at super-low prices. If you're trying to plan your sale strategy, we're here to help. Here's how we're shopping Prime Day sales this year.

First, Get a Prime Membership

If you didn't sign up for Amazon Prime shipping last year, now's the time to do so. You'll only be able to take advantage of many Prime Day prices as a Prime Member. It costs $119 for a year or $12.99 per month, and if you're a student, don't forget to take advantage of special pricing discounts on a Prime membership.

Prime Day Deals Start Today

Take advantage of early Prime Day deals on some of your favorite kitchen brands including Le Creuset, GoWise air fryers and smokers. You'll also find home and electronic deals you don't want to miss. We've listed the best deals to shop early below.

Don't Miss $10 Off

Starting Monday, June 7 through June 20, Prime members who spend $10 or more on certain products on Amazon will be credited $10 to use on Prime Day. According to Amazon, these discounts will be eligible from small businesses and brands on Amazon's site like Amazon Handmade and Amazon Launchpad.

On Prime Day, Start With Big Ticket Items

Best-sellers and larger appliances tend to sell out first on Prime Day. So, if you've had your eye on the Instant Vortex air fryer for months now, or have been dying to buy a KitchenAid stand mixer for less, start with those products first. Add them to your cart and buy immediately. They may not be there when you're ready to shop a couple of hours later.

Check Out Our Must-Buy Lists

We love shopping — and writing about it — so when you're feeling overwhelmed by the thousands of products on sale for Prime Day, we're here to help. Starting the morning of June 21, we'll be putting together lists of the best sale prices for top products we swear by. If you're not sure where to start, these picks are a way to narrow your Prime Day shopping strategy with ease.

Bust Out Your Holiday Shopping List

We know, it's only the start of summer, but this is a great opportunity to start holiday shopping a little early. Get ahead of the game with gifts for the whole family. Come December, you'll be happy you stocked your basement with gifts before holiday shipping madness.
