Prime Day 2026 kicks off in Australia on Tuesday, July 7 and runs right through to Monday, July 13. It’s a full week this year — a rare treat, considering the US and UK are already doing their own thing throughout late June.

While the main event is still a couple of weeks away, the early deals have already started bubbling up, and they’re giving us a pretty good idea of what to expect. Think the usual Prime Day mix: power banks, earbuds, smart home gear, tablets, laptops — the stuff that quietly disappears from your cart when you hesitate for five minutes.

If you've been following our ongoing list of the best Amazon AU deals, you'll notice a consistent trend. Prices are already dropping across a bunch of categories, and it’s safe to assume many of these early offers are a warm‑up for the bigger cuts coming in July.

Most of the strongest discounts will be Prime-only, so if you want the full spread — including free expedited shipping — you’ll need a membership. The good news is that new users still get the first 30 days free, which conveniently covers the entire sale window.

In short: the early deals are here, the main wave is coming, and this year’s longer Aussie event gives you more time than most countries to snag something genuinely good. Here are the 10 best early Prime Day deals the Tom's Guide Savings Squad has spotted so far.

• The best Amazon AU deals this month, hand-picked by us

Prime Day is always one of the biggest shopping events of the year, but we're already seeing massive discounts even before the official sales event kicks off. Early Prime Day deals are slashing prices up to 50% on everything from smart home gadgets to TVs, vacuums, smartwatches, and more. Some of these discounts are matching Black Friday prices, and at least a few on this list are even cheaper than they were last November.

Some standout offers include the Bose QuietComfort earbuds for $149, the lowest price we've ever seen for some of the best noise-canceling earbuds on the market. If you're considering splurging on a robot vacuum, Shark has several models between 40-50% off ahead of Prime Day, including the Shark PowerDetect 2-in-1 robot vacuum and mop that we rated 4.5 stars in our review. Fitness enthusiasts can also score the Garmin Epix Pro (Gen 2) at 50% off for $549, just $25 shy of its lowest-ever price.

To help you get the most bang for your buck, I've combed through all the early Prime Day deals to suss out which ones match or beat Black Friday prices. Keep scrolling to see my top picks.

Gather 'round, fitness fiends. It's EOFY sales season, and as a leggings lover, I’m happy to confirm it’s offering up plenty of opportunities to save on some sweet new gym gear. With a plethora of top-rated brands holding their own mid-year events, you could score an impressive bargain or two when shopping for athleisure wear this June.

Notably, most of our favourite activewear makers have already kicked off their sales — such as Gymshark, Asics, Lululemon and Puma — with up to 80% discounts available. There are already plenty of great buys available — and delaying might see your preferred size or colourway sell out.

Whether you're after a new pair of bike shorts, leggings, sneakers or training shoes, or perhaps even a gym bag to carry your favourite gear in, the June 2026 EOFY sales are sure to have something to suit.

Below, I've gathered some of the top deals available to buy right now, some retailer quicklinks for my top-rated sales, and some frequently asked questions to help you better prepare for all that EOFY fitness sales have to offer. Happy shopping!

FAQs

Another one! Much like DJ Khaled's tagline, Amazon has announced another weeklong Prime Day sale in Australia next month.

If you're an eager deal hunter, you won't have to wait long for another batch of discounts. The e-commerce giant has confirmed that Prime Day 2026 will take place from 12:01am AEST on Tuesday, 7 July to 11:59pm AEST on Monday, 13 July.

Yes, you read that right. Following March's Big Smile and last week's Mid-Year Sale successes of a seven-day event, Amazon has committed to weeklong deals madness this July — and there's no turning back now.

From the latest tech and kitchen appliances to everyday essentials, the e-retailer has secured top discounts for Australia that week; however, we may be arriving a little late to the deals party. Amazon has confirmed that Prime Day will commence from June 23-26, 2026, for the U.S., U.K., Canada and Singapore.

Granted, Amazon Australia just wrapped up its Mid-Year event roughly 36 hours ago, and the July sale is going to be just as turbocharged, so we can't complain too much.

Not much else has been disclosed about the event at this point; however, we can expect some of the best Amazon AU deals of the year. If you're not a Prime member already, it's time to sign up!

Prime Day 2026: what to expect

If Prime Day 2025 sales are anything to go by, we can expect fantastic deals on a variety of products, including Amazon's own gadgets. We suspect there will be generous discounts on Kindles, Echo smart speakers, Ring and Blink cameras, Fire TV sticks, and more.

If you're new to Prime Day sales, you can sign up for a 30-day free trial of Amazon Prime to make the most of the deals. Some benefits include free same-day delivery, a Prime Video subscription, and early access to exclusive sales.

To make sure you don't miss out on all that Prime Day 2026 has to offer, it's a good idea to start your trial close to or on July 1. That way, your 30-day trial will cover the entire Prime Week, giving you plenty of time to shop. If you sign up early, you can still enjoy the deals, but you might miss the final window of discounts.

So, if you've been eyeing an Amazon purchase or want to shop extensively before the next big sale, there's no better time than during Prime Day 2026. We'll be keeping an eye on the deals all week, so check back when Prime Week arrives.

Until then, start preparing your Amazon wishlist — there's only 27 days to go!

It's finally here: Amazon's Big Spring Sale is in full swing this weekend, and while there are thousands of discounts to sift through, Anker is once again stealing the show. Anker is one of those quiet workhorse brands I always recommend since they've made some of my favorite power accessories and affordable headphones for years. I'm seeing deals starting at just $15 for Anker's solid charger pad with MagSafe support (I have about four scattered around my house).

Whether you're looking to declutter your desk with a suave docking station, grab a MagSafe charger for your new iPhone 17e, or finally invest in a portable power bank that won't die halfway through a flight, these are the best Anker deals worth your attention. Also worth shouting out: One of the best affordable headphones on the market, Anker's Soundcore cans, are nearly half off right now at $39.99.

Just keep in mind that Amazon's Big Spring Sale ends on March 31, so you'll want to add these deals to your cart while you can.

As an avid gamer, I'm always on the lookout for some gaming peripheral deals that will help me upgrade my setup. Thankfully, there are some great discounts currently available as part of Amazon's Big Smile Sale, and I've rounded up the 18 deals I think are worth your time.

I've spotted some excellent price reductions on gaming keyboards, mice, controllers and headsets, with brands like Logitech, Razer, Corsair and more all present and accounted for.

Of the options below, I'm particularly partial to the Epomaker X Aula F75 Gasket Mechanical Keyboard with 75% layout, partly due to the option of LEOBOG Reaper switches, which are linear and offer a light press force between 36 grams and 55 grams.

I'm also very tempted by the Logitech G502X Plus wireless gaming mouse, thanks to the option of infinite scroll, which I now consider a must-have feature for all mice going forward.

I've also added the 8BitDo 64 Bluetooth controller to my cart. I've had my eye on it ever since it launched alongside the Analogue 3D console, and now that it's available in the classic Nintendo 64-inspired 'Grey' colourway, I can no longer resist.

And finally, I do believe the deal on Razer's Barracuda X Chroma Wireless Gaming Headset is excellent value, slashing a massive 49% off the RRP. I especially like its translucent green design and support for both 2.4gHz wireless and Bluetooth.

If there's one thing that the last 12 months or so have taught me, it's that you need to start the day with a good cup of coffee. Whether it's iced, piping hot or somewhere in between, nothing is better than enjoying every sip and letting your energy respawn for the day that lies ahead.

That said, even the best coffee machines we've reviewed here at Tom's Guide will cost you a motza — and that's not including the cost of bagged beans, pods or ground coffee. Thankfully, Amazon is here to save the day.

Right now, during its annual Big Smile Sale, the e-retailer has slashed prices on automatic, manual and pod coffee machines, and coffee-making accessories such as milk frothers. With up to 50% off, there are plenty of options to choose from, but to make it even easier, I've handpicked some of my favourite machines below.

From brands like Breville, Sunbeam and even my go-to Ninja, I've compiled these 9 coffee machines and accessories below. If my choices don't quite meet your artisanal coffee brewing needs, you can check out Amazon's complete list of coffee, tea and espresso items that are discounted for the weeklong sale — hurry, these deals are likely to end Sunday, March 22.

Let's not beat around the bush — we're less than four months into 2026 and it's already been a dumpster-fire of a year, which is why I'm using Amazon's Big Smile Sale as an opportunity to go back to a simpler time, when my biggest concerns involved a flat tyre on my BMX and dusty cartridges not working on my Atari 2600.

That's right, I was a kid of the 1980s (and a teenager of the 1990s) and everything was more fun back then. Forget monthly subscriptions — we had a Walkman with cassettes filled with songs taped from the radio, and we appreciated that music!

With that in mind, I've rounded up 12 deals that will help you join me in the good old days. These are all relatively affordable, and will do nicely until someone invents a working time machine.

Choices include vintage toys, such as My Little Pony, Masters of the Universe and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, as well as nostalgic gaming throwbacks, including the Atari 2600+ retro console (which will even play your old cartridges, including 7800 games), along with a Dungeons & Dragons starter kit for Stranger Things-style fun, some Choose Your Own Adventure novels, and more!

Any of the below items should give you back that child-like sense of wonder that's missing from our current world, if even for a moment. So without further ado, here are the 12 retro-tastic deals that I'm considering from Amazon's sale. Now, if you don't mind, I'm off to watch some episodes of ALF...

As a slip-on-only shoe lover throughout the summer months, it goes without saying that I am a certified Crocs fan. The moulded clogs brand makes some of the most versatile, comfortable, and easy-to-wear shoes, and I don't think I could go a day without wearing some form of Crocs.

Having said that, Crocs do suffer from some seriously inflated price tags from time to time — the Lego Brick Clogs cost AU$319.99 a pair — putting them out of reach at full RRP, despite the cult-like following the brand emits.

Thankfully, Crocs shoes receive semi-regular discounts during peak sales, including those on everyone's favourite e-retailer, Amazon. Right now, during Amazon's Big Smile Sale, you can shop discounted clogs, sandals, slides, and accessories, with up to 56% off on Crocs' Amazon storefront.

I've compiled some of my favourite pairs of Crocs below. From newer slides and sandal styles (including my everyday staple, the Brooklyn Cork Sandal) to favourites like the iconic Crocs Classic Clog, there's a discounted pair of Croslite-made shoes for everyone.

If none of the selected styles are putting a smile on your crocodile, the brand has a complete list of discounted pairs on its Amazon storefront. You'll need to act fast to grab some of these crockin' deals, though — Crocs' Amazon sale will come to a close on Sunday, March 22.

If you're like me, you're feeling the pinch of rising petrol prices and the ongoing cost of living crisis, but that doesn't mean we should miss out on nabbing an awesome deal during Amazon's Big Smile Sale.

While I’m not quite ready to splash out on some of the big-ticket items listed in our live blog, I have narrowed down a shortlist of 12 items under AU$100 that I may well consider picking up for myself.

Here are a dozen great deals that sit firmly in ‘impulse buy’ territory — and won’t leave you with a case of buyer's remorse.

Products include essentials like power banks and USB chargers, along with handy items like wireless security cameras and video doorbells, which are surprisingly affordable at the moment.

For entertainment, you could opt for a pair of noise cancelling earbuds which are significantly more advanced than their price would suggest, or you could give your television a smart TV upgrade with a Fire TV Stick 4K Select. Gamers will also rejoice at the price drop on Pokémon Legends: Z-A for Nintendo Switch 2.

Alright, enough talk — check out the exceptional value on these bargains before they're gone.

Amazon AU's first major sale of the year is here! Dubbed the "Big Smile Sale", Amazon's first discount frenzy of the year has succeeded in its namesake, putting a wide, toothy grin on my face for its Lego deals alone.

As a lifelong Lego fan, I've been eyeing some builds from my favourite franchises, including Disney, Lego Ideas and Creator sets. And with up to 34% off select builds and sets, Amazon's Big Smile Sale has put them within reach for me — and there's no doubt other Lego lovers are rejoicing at the discounts too.

I've handpicked my top 15 bargains below, ranging from cheap sets and more extensive (and expensive) builds. If my selection below doesn't quite tickle your brick-building fancy, you can check out the full list of deals on Lego's Amazon storefront.

You'll need to act fast if you've got your eye on a new Lego set — these deals are set to expire on Sunday, March 22 and are only available while stocks last.

As a deals writer, I've been covering the major Aussie sales event, Click Frenzy, for the past two years. There's a handful of Click Frenzy-branded events that take place throughout the year, including the March sale, which kicked off on Tuesday, March 3, at 7pm AEDT.

In partnership with the payment service PayPal, this particular sale has been appropriately dubbed "PayPal Frenzy", and it will finish up during the wee hours of Monday, March 9. Click Frenzy was initially developed to rival that of mega online sales, like Black Friday, and give us Aussies a chance to find some excellent bargains year-round.

That said, the first 36ish hours of 2026's first Click Frenzy sale haven't tickled my fancy so far, with fewer retailers than usual taking part. However, that hasn't disheartened my deal-hunting abilities.

I've put on my deal detective hat and found 9 excellent bargains worth your hard-earned cash. From new Dyson vacuums to everyday kitchen appliances, I've got something for everyone here. If I don't, I'd implore you to take a look at my regularly updated PayPal Frenzy deals hub and scroll through the extensive list of discounts currently available. You'll need to get in quick — these limited-time deals are set to expire at 11:59pm AEDT on Monday, March 9.

If you've been holding out for the Google Pixel 10 Pro Fold to score a nice discount, you may have noticed that it's received a tidy AU$300 saving on Google's online store, along with several other retailers.

While that's certainly a nice reduction on the device's RRP, you'll get an even better price from JB Hi-Fi, which is currently offering an epic AU$500 discount across all storage options.

This means you can purchase the 256GB model for just AU$2,197 (down from AU$2,697), the 512GB variant for AU$2,397 (reduced from AU$2,897), or the premium 1TB version for AU$2,747 (originally AU$3,247). While the deal applies to both the Jade and Moonstone colourways, it's worth noting that JB Hi-Fi only stocks the 1TB model in Moonstone.

In our Pixel 10 Pro Fold review, we praised the device for its improved durability, which included an IP68 rating against water and dust (a first for any foldable), along with its new gearless hinge, impressive battery life and stunningly bright display, though we ultimately described the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 as a better buy due to its thinner and lighter design, superior performance and better multi-tasking.

However, given the massive price drop the Pixel 10 Pro Fold has just received, its value proposition has shifted dramatically. When you compare it to the Galaxy Z Fold 7's entry-level 256GB model, which JB Hi-Fi currently lists at AU$2,899, the equivalent Pixel 10 Pro Fold model is now a staggering AU$702 more affordable, making it the smarter purchase if you're trying to cut costs.

If you're a fan of novel kitchen appliances (like me), you've probably heard of Ninja Kitchen, an appliance maker whose products have a penchant for going viral. From coffee machines to air fryers, ice cream makersand everything in between, if it's a small cooking appliance, Ninja basically has it.

I am the proud owner of the Ninja Slushi, the slushy machine that racked up a 50K-strong waitlist before releasing in Australia, and sold out within minutes. Globally, the Slushi was a hit too, becoming a viral product all over social media.

If you've wanted to see what the fuss is about for yourself, right now, during the final stretch of Cyber Monday sales, the Ninja Slushi has dropped to an all-time low of just AU$334.99 on Amazon. When compared to the RRP, you'll save a massive 33% on the coveted machine — and nab it with plenty of time to prepare your finest frozen cocktail recipes for the hotter months on the Australian horizon.

You'll need to act fast to grab this viral machine — we saw this deal go out-of-stock last week, so we're expecting it will do so again, and in any case, this deal expires at 11:59pm AEDT tonight on December 1, 2025, when Amazon's Black Friday sale officially comes to an end.

Earlier this year, I was able to get my hands on the Ninja Slushi when it became available in Australia, and I had plenty of fun testing it and churning out concoctions in the vessel.

The machine has different temperature and texture controls that creates beverages in up to 60 minutes at max capacity, with five preset settings — Slush, Spiked Slush, Frappé, Milkshake and Frozen Juice.

After owning the machine for almost a year, my favourite types to make are a frozen cola and, if I am in the mood for something spiked, a Pina Colada. Now that I've perfected my Slushi settings, every beverage is the perfect icy consistency; they're perfect on a hot summer's day.

It's worth pointing out that most recipes will call for some tweaking of the presets on the machine. Whether that's changing the freezing temperature or using a different setting entirely, you might need to play around to find the right settings for your chosen frozen bevvy.

After the trial and error that comes with almost any new kitchen appliance, I'm sure frozen drink fanatics will get a kick out of this machine.

Black Friday may have just ended, but already we're seeing Cyber Monday deals pouring in. If you're hunting for the top deals this holiday season, you’re in luck because we've found some killer markdowns from brands like Ninja, Amazon, YETI, Apple, Dyson, and more.

Right now, the MacBook Air M4 is down to just $749, which is $250 off and the lowest price yet. You can also get the new Apple AirPods Pro 3, for just $219, an all-time low. We’ve also added new Cyber Monday LEGO deals to help you save big on some of the most coveted sets. Here are the early Cyber Monday deals from Amazon, Best Buy, and more major retailers that are truly worth your money.

It's the final Friday of November! For those who aren't aware, that means it's Black Friday. You know, that huge sales event when almost everything is discounted at most retailers. This includes some super-rare savings to be had on a highly coveted wearable, the Apple Watch.

Despite having a Black Friday sale of its own, you will be hard-pressed to find any discounts on any Apple Watch model at the maker itself. Instead, Apple is offering customers an AU$80 gift card after purchasing an Apple Watch, making savings on an actual device non-existent.

That said, I've done some digging and found some great Black Friday Apple Watch deals at retailers like Amazon, The Good Guys and Big W, with up to 30% off select models. These wearables include the latest Apple Watch 11 and feature price drops on the Apple Watch 10, Apple Watch Ultra 2 and Apple Watch 9.

I've included a list of retailers below, so if you don't find the model you're after, you can check out the range at your preferred retailer. That said, you'll need to act fast to nab one of these Apple Watch deals — they will disappear come Cyber Monday, December 1, 2025.

Best Apple Watch Black Friday deals I've found so far

It's Black Friday 2025! That means we're seeing the best and deepest discounts across most retailers right now, with prices slashed on almost everything across the board. Black Friday is arguably one of the best times to invest in your hobbies, seeing as items are extremely discounted.

One of my beloved hobbies since childhood has been Lego, and there's never been a better time to pick up a discounted build than right now. I've already spotted some major discounts at retailers like Amazon, Myer and at Lego direct, with up to 59% off.

With sets ranging from fun game franchises to Lego Botanical sets and more, there's a build worth buying for every type of Lego fan. And with Christmas only a few weeks away, there's even time to nab a 2025-dated Lego Advent Calendar.

To help get you started, I've rounded up the best Lego sets to shop during Black Friday, with sets from major franchises like Disney, Harry Potter and Star Wars making my top picks. You'd better act fast — these deals are only available until the close of Cyber Monday, December 1, 2025.

Best Black Friday Lego Deals

Black Friday deals are everywhere, and it's easy to get swept up in the excitement of limited-time offers and massive discounts. But here's what most shoppers don't realize: a huge percentage of Black Friday "deals" aren't actually cheaper than prices at other times of the year. Some retailers even inflate prices in the weeks leading up to main event, then drop them down during the sale to create the illusion of a deal.

Others advertise discounts on products that were already at that price or lower just weeks before. The pressure to buy quickly, combined with flashy marketing and countdown timers, makes it hard to tell if you're actually saving money or just spending it. Before you hand over your credit card this Black Friday, here's how to verify you're getting a genuine deal that's worth the spend.

Kogan's Black Friday sale is underway and offering up massive discounts site-wide, with thousands of items reduced by up to 70% from now until Friday, December 5. And though the big online retailer has cut prices on a wide array of tech, home and lifestyle products, the savings on its 365-day mobile plans are also particularly noteworthy.

As a key example, Kogan Mobile has slashed the price of its Large 365 Day Plan from AU$240 to AU$169 and boosted the data allowance from 300GB to 400GB. Do the math and that’s an average of AU$14.08 per month for 33GB of data — which should be more than enough for the average Aussie user.

Unlike most other Black Friday mobile plan deals, this one is also even available to existing customers, so if you're currently on a Kogan Mobile plan you can still sign up.

Deals this good on 365-day SIMs have become increasingly rare over the last year, so if you're keen we'd absolutely advise jumping on this one before December 7 when the mobile deals end – and note that you need to activate the plan by December 31, 2025.

While the deal mentioned above is our top pick, Kogan Mobile has also lowered the prices on two alternative 365-day plans. These may be a better fit if you require less data, or conversely, if you need significantly more.

For a more budget-friendly alternative, Kogan Mobile is offering its Small 365 Day Plan for AU$179.90 AU$149, bringing the monthly cost down to just AU$12.42. This includes 250GB of total data, which equates to roughly 21GB of data per month.

For heavy streamers seeking annual savings, the Extra Large 365 Day Plan provides exceptional value at AU$300 AU$189. This massive data package includes 650GB, providing about 54GB of data per month. This makes the effective monthly price just AU$15.75 — a steal for serious data users.

• Small 365 Day prepaid plan (140GB+110GB): AU$149 (usually AU$179.90)
• Extra Large 365 Day prepaid plan (500GB+150GB): AU$189 (usually AU$300)

Note that once the first year is up, these plans renew at their regular prices and data allowances – although given Kogan Mobile is letting existing customers sign up for these plans, we're keeping our fingers crossed that some equally good deals are up for grabs when Black Friday 2026 comes rolling around. If that happens, you could move to one of those when next year's renewal is due.

More Kogan Black Friday deals

As we mentioned above, Kogan's got plenty of other tempting Black Friday discounting going on – we've rounded up 10 of our favourites in a dedicated article, but here's a quick recap of the highlights:

• Apple iPad 11 (11th Gen, 128GB, Wi-Fi) | AU$599 AU$547
• Beats Studio Pro Wireless Headphones (Navy) | AU$529.95 AU$279
• Kogan 65-inch LED 4K Smart AI Google TV | AU$999.99 AU$595
• Kogan 12kg Ice Cube Maker (Black) | AU$249.99 AU$79.99
• Kogan XXXL 11L Double Stack Air Fryer | AU$449.99 AU$109

To make the most of Kogan's Black Friday sale, I'd also consider signing up for a free Kogan First trial. This provides access to exclusive member savings – including on many of the highlighted products above – and free delivery in eligible areas.

Since these prices are only available until December 5, 2025, it would be wise to act fast if any deals from the sale tickle your fancy.

Just when I thought I'd finally shut up about how much I love my Ninja Luxe Café coffee machine, Black Friday deals on the viral espresso maker have come a-knockin', dropping it down to its lowest price yet.

Right now, on Amazon, the newly released Ninja Luxe Café is just AU$619 in the Stainless Steel colourway. This is down AU$30 from its discounted price of AU$999, which I clocked during Amazon’s October Prime Day sale a couple of weeks ago (itself just over a month on from its official Aussie release date).

As a fan of all things Ninja Kitchen, I couldn't recommend this machine more if I tried. And I reckon you'll need to act fast to nab this hot Black Friday deal — the machine came and went within 24 hours when it was discounted during Prime Big Deal Days last month, and I don't think it's going to last that long this Cyber Weekend.

Typically, when I'm deal hunting for major sales events like Black Friday, I'm up at the crack of dawn, and the only thing getting me out of bed is my own perfected recipe — a shaken brown sugar espresso iced coffee.

The Ninja machine has been an absolute timesaver in the mornings for me, as I can pull my double shot and make my cold foam for my latte simultaneously at the touch of two buttons. While it doesn't have dual boilers, it can act like a machine that does, pulling an espresso shot and frothing milk at the same time.

Sure, I still have to hand tamp the grinds into the filter, but Ninja has thought of everything and provides a tamp funnel so the grounds all stay within the filter (and don’t end up all over the kitchen countertop!).

The Luxe Café also comes with three filter baskets in a range of shot sizes — single, double and quad — so you can make multiple espresso coffees at once, if you're entertaining a crowd. You can also adjust your preferred drink size on the machine, too, and it'll recommend the filter basket to use. For my morning iced coffees, I typically use the double filter with the espresso setting, though I have also used the cold-pressed setting, and the results were equally delicious.

In just under a month of owning one, I can confidently say that I love the Ninja Luxe Café — and with this even deep Black Friday discount, I'm sure you will too.

Black Friday is tomorrow, November 28, but the sales have already started with discounts dropping all around. There's been plenty of great bargains worth stepping out for, including on some of my favourite shoe brands, like Skechers.

Right now, you can save up to 70% off select sneakers, slippers and sandals on the Skechers Amazon storefront and other retailers including Myer and Platypus Shoes. Casual and active styles across the men's, women's and kids' ranges have been marked down, offering plush, cloud-like comfort for all-day wear.

If you don't yet own Skechers shoes or sneakers, now's a great time to try a discounted pair. Below, I've gathered 10 comfy deals worth dipping your toes into, including some great summer styles to slide your way through the hot (read: miserable) days ahead.

If the pairs I've selected below aren't quite in your stride, Skechers has a complete list of discounted shoes on its Amazon storefront. You'll need to be quick to nab these Black Friday Skechers deals though, as they'll come to a close at 11:59pm on Cyber Monday, December 1, 2025.

Summer holidays are almost here, and if you've got a trip coming up in the next month or two, the Black Friday sales are the perfect time to upgrade your travel essentials or pick up some handy new devices.

Ensuring you have all the basics (from luggage to power banks to Bluetooth trackers) is just as vital as snagging a Travel Tuesday deal — because once you book the flight, you'll need to get on it to reach your destination. And there's no better way to kick off your holiday than making sure you're entertained throughout the whole trip, especially on your flight, no matter how long (or short) it may be.

As a recent traveller myself, I know precisely which items were lifesavers on my trip to Japan, and I’ve used that to guide me in selecting a range of Black Friday discounts. From well-known travel brands (such as Samsonite, American Tourister and Australia's own July) to travel tech, there's something worth considering for every kind of traveller.

Now, while I'd love to help you find that all-important holiday package, this roundup is sticking to items that'll cement your trip, not start it. That said, some honourable mentions include a fun and vibrant Stanley Quencher Tumbler or Owala FreeSip bottle, for on-the-go hydration (even when you’re not travelling), and of course, a good read, always found best on a Kindle ereader. You can peruse my top travel items below, all discounted now for Black Friday.

Just when I thought there was a shortage of good Aussie streaming deals this Black Friday, Disney Plus has dropped this sizable, rare deal on its Standard subscription tier.

From now until December 10, 2025, Disney Plus is offering up a Standard subscription for the equivalent of just AU$9.33p/m, whereas it usually costs AU$15.99p/m. The catch? You’ll need to sign up for an annual plan at an upfront cost of AU$111.99. The deals’ available for both new and eligible returning subscribers and saves you a massive 30% off the typical annual price, or 41% off what you’d pay by going month-to-month!

There's arguably never been a better time to subscribe to Disney Plus, with a slate of new original titles coming to the platform to close out 2025 — and there's even some exciting new shows confirmed for 2026.

For Christmas movie lovers, Disney Plus has all the classics. From The Polar Express to Home Alone, The Grinch (2002) and the Santa Clause franchise (including the spinoff TV show), Disney's got you and your festive film watching covered.

Of course, there's some more grown-up fare in Hulu Originals, such as American Horror Story, Murdaugh: Death in the Family, All's Fair, Abbott Elementary, Only Murders in the Building and The Bear. If you're a Marvel or Star Wars fan, new and upcoming releases like Fantastic Four: First Steps, Star Wars: Young Jedi Adventures (December 8), and Daredevil: Born Again season two (March 4, 2026) should have your fix sorted.

As a self-proclaimed Disney Adult myself, I am personally looking forward to the new Taylor Swift documentary series, The End of an Era, coming December 12, and the second season of my favourite original series, Percy Jackson and the Olympians, with a double episode premiere on December 10.

Also, Disney Plus now even caters to sports fans — with ESPN channels that’ll have your back all summer long, with live and on-demand NBA, NFL and Australia's own NBL games, including the Christmas Day series, direct on the streamer. (Go Kings!)

What's more, this deal is perfectly timed for a new Disney Plus subscriber exclusive, Disney Plus Perks. Subscribers can access perks such as retail discounts, movie and event tickets, and more. And, starting 9am AEDT December 1, 2025, subscribers can access "12 Days of Disney Plus Perks" with plenty of Disney-themed prizes to be won throughout the promotional period.

You may be wondering what's actually included in a Disney Plus standard subscription. Here's a quick breakdown:

• Two simultaneous streams in HD resolution and up to 5.1 audio playback
• Access to Disney Plus' content library of 2,973 titles, made up of 1,938 movies and 1,035 television shows
• Unlimited downloads across devices
• Ad-free viewing
• No lock-in contracts

What you do miss out on compared to Disney Plus' Premium subscription is 4K streaming for up to four simultaneous screens, both of which are exclusive features of the higher tier.

* New and eligible returning Disney Plus subscribers only. Must be Australian residents aged 18+. Auto-renews at the then-current annual retail price after promotional period ends until cancelled. Additional terms apply.

Be honest: when was the last time you checked what you're paying for your phone bill? If it’s been more than 12 months, you could be basically donating money to your telco and paying more than you need to. In other words, customers who set-and-forget are generally not getting the best value plans on the market. Luckily, Black Friday 2025 offers a timely opportunity to change that.

For the next week, many providers are offering incentives like waived first-month fees, doubled data allowances, or discounted recharge costs – 365-day SIM only plans, for example, can be up to 60% off. All the big players, such as Telstra, Optus and Vodafone, are getting in on the action, though you can expect some of the best offers to come from smaller providers, like Kogan Mobile, Boost Mobile and more.

To help you lock down the best savings on your phone plan this sales season, we've scoured all the Black Friday mobile plans deals currently available and have hand-picked the ones we think provide the most bang for your buck. OK, enough talk — here's a guide to the best Australian prepaid and postpaid phone plan deals available for the 2025 Black Friday / Cyber Monday sales period, which comes to a halt on December 2.

Black Friday mobile plan deals: the big three

Vodafone

Vodafone is currently offering some excellent deals on its month-to-month SIM-only plans, so for the first year you get:

• AU$14 p/m discount
• Double data allowance

With those applied, we reckon the Small Plan should suit most people perfectly, as per month it comes down to just AU$39 for a generous 120GB. Meanwhile, the Large Plan features an astounding 800GB of monthly data for only AU$59p/m over the same period, which should be more than enough for even the most data-hungry user.

• Small Plan (60GB+60GB bonus): AU$39p/m (usually AU$53p/m)
• Medium Plan (200GB+200GB bonus): AU$49p/m (usually AU$63p/m)
• Large Plan (400GB+400GB bonus): AU$59p/m (usually AU73p/m)

Optus

For Black Friday 2025, Optus is discounting rates on select plans for the first 12 months of connection. This is an online-only deal.

• 30% off the Small and Medium Choice Plus Plans

For the first 12 months, users on the Small Choice Plus Plan will pay just AU$38.50p/m for the usual 50GB of monthly data. After this introductory period, the price will revert to AU$55p/m. Those selecting the Medium Choice Plus Plan will receive 200GB of monthly data and pay AU$45.50p/m for the first 12 months. Following the initial year, this plan will return to its standard price of AU$65p/m.

• Small Choice Plus Plan (50GB): AU$38.50p/m (usually AU$55p/m)
• Medium Choice Plus Plan (200GB): AU$45.50p/m (usually AU$65p/m)

Telstra

Telstra is offering discounts of up to AU$20p/m for the first year of connection on its SIM-only plans, depending on which plan you opt for.

• Save AU$10p/m for 12 months on Basic or Essential Upfront plans
• Save AU$20p/m for 12 months on Premium Upfront plans

To receive the AU$10p/m discount on Telstra's Basic or Essential Upfront plans for the first year, simply apply the code FRIDAY10 at checkout. Alternatively, those opting for Telstra's Premium Upfront plan can save AU$20p/m over 12 months by applying the code FRIDAY20 at checkout.

• Basic Upfront plan (50GB): AU$60p/m (usually AU$70p/m)
• Essential Upfront plan (180GB): AU$70p/m (usually AU$80p/m)
• Premium Upfront plan (300GB): AU$79p/m (usually AU$99p/m)

Black Friday mobile plans: best MVNO deals

Of course, the big three telcos aren't alone in serving up tasty deals this Black Friday, and a number of smaller Australian providers (more formally known as mobile virtual network operators, or MVNOs) are also offering compelling discounts – and as is often the case, they can be substantially cheaper than what you'll find from Optus, Telstra or Vodafone.

Superloop (Telstra wholesale network)

Superloop is rolling out some terrific mobile plan deals for Black Friday, including double data and sweet extra perks if you bundle your mobile with a Superloop internet plan.

• Double data for first 6 recharges
• Free 2nd recharge when bundled with a Superloop internet plan (existing customers)
• Save up to AU$15p/m when you bundle mobile SIMs with an internet plan

The combination of double data for the first six recharges and the option to save at least AU$5p/m when bundling extra SIMs (with a maximum saving of AU$15p/m) makes even the most budget-friendly choices highly attractive, especially for those who are also willing to switch to a Superloop internet plan.

• Essential 5G (35GB+35GB bonus): AU$35 per recharge (first 6 recharges)
• Choice 5G (75GB+75GB bonus): AU$40 per recharge (first 6 recharges)
• Plus 5G (130GB+130GB bonus): AU$50 per recharge (first 6 recharges)
• Max 5G (160GB+160GB bonus): AU60 per recharge (first 6 recharges)

Dodo (Optus network)

Dodo is cutting right to the chase this Black Friday, offering half-price plans for half a year.

• 50% off for the first 6 months on its Medium and Large plans

Dodo is positioning itself as a price leader rather than focusing on data incentives like many rivals, making it one of the cheapest entry points on the Optus network this Black Friday. At these prices, we recommend the Large plan, as 80GB for AU$20 is frankly unbeatable.

• Medium 40GB: AU$15p/m (usually AU$30p/m)
• Large 80GB: AU$20p/m (usually AU$40p/m)

Felix Mobile (Vodafone 4G and 5G network)

Felix is offering select plans at half price for the first 3-4 months.

• Unlimited Data: 50% off for the first 4 months
• 50GB Plan: 50% off for the first 3 months

Although the promotional period for these plans is shorter than some other options featured, they still offer considerable savings: you can save up to AU$80 over 4 months on the Unlimited Plan, or AU$45 over 3 months on the 50GB Plan.

• Unlimited: AU$20p/m (usually AU$40p/m). Code: UNL4
• 50GB Plan: AU$15p/m (usually AU$30p/m)

Kogan Mobile (Vodafone 4G and 5G network)

Kogan Mobile is currently offering its best discounts on its long-term 365-day prepaid plans, which also include bonus data.

• 17% off its Small 365 days prepaid plan
• 29% off its Large 365 days prepaid plan
• 37% off its Extra Large 365 days prepaid plan

While the company does offer price reductions on the first month of its Medium and Large monthly plans, these aren't as significant as the savings on the annual options.

• Small 365 days prepaid plan (140GB+110GB): AU$149 (usually AU$179.90)
• Large 365 days prepaid plan (300GB+100GB): AU$169 (usually AU$240)
• Extra Large 365 days prepaid plan (500GB+150GB): AU$189 (usually AU$300)

Exetel (Telstra wholesale network)

Exetel doesn’t have the largest Black Friday offering, opting instead to push one "hero" deal that offers massive data on the Telstra 5G Wholesale network.

• Double data for first 6 recharges on Plus One 5G Plan

For the first six recharges, the Exetel Plus One 5G Plan is an exceptional deal, offering a massive 260GB of data for only AU$40 per recharge. Even after this initial period, the plan continues to be highly competitive, providing 130GB of data for the same AU$40 recharge price.

• Plus One 5G Plan (130GB+130GB bonus): AU$40 per recharge (first 6 recharges)

Black Friday mobile plan deals: our top picks

Vodafone's Black Friday data deal is exceptionally strong, offering a massive 400GB of monthly data for the first year on its Medium Plan for just AU$63p/m. This represents outstanding value, especially when compared to Telstra, which provides only 50GB of data for a similar monthly cost.

Alternatively, if saving money is your top priority, Dodo's Large 80GB plan offers incredible value. For the first six months, it costs only AU$20 per recharge.

Black Friday sales are the perfect time to shop for anything on the top of your wishlist — and often even items at the bottom. If you've been considering adding some smarts to your home security, or even just worrying about that package delivery while on your much-deserved holiday, you're not alone.

According to new research commissioned by Amazon, 57% of Aussies worry about things back home when on holiday, such as parcel deliveries, pets, or car security, and 63% say they’d relax more if they could check on their home virtually. Thankfully, Amazon’s currently offering some very affordable ways to join the security-cam bandwagon.

During Amazon's Black Friday sale, the retailer's own budget home security brand Blink has been on the receiving end of some mighty impressive discounts, with indoor cameras starting at just AU$17. Grabbing a bargain on your home security system will pay off in peace of mind, especially if you’ve got a post-Christmas escape planned.

We've rounded up our favourite picks below, ranging from indoor cameras and video doorbells. If these don't quite tickle your fancy, there's a full list of deals on Blink's Amazon storefront that are sure to cover all your home security needs. Do keep in mind that Blink's cameras come with a 30-day free trial to its subscription plan, which includes features like cloud footage backup and person detection. After the trial period, Blink's plans start from AU$4.95p/m for a basic subscription.

You'll need to act fast to nab these discounts, though — Blink's deals finish on Cyber Monday — December 1, 2025.

When you think of an Australian retailer that stocks nearly everything at a highly competitive price, Kogan will undoubtedly be on the list. From televisions to kitchen appliances, phones, computers, and everything in between, Kogan has established itself as a one-stop shop for popular products at lower prices.

Kogan joined the Black Friday festivities with up to 70% off its inventory, even after the mass event ended. From now until Friday, December 5, prices have been slashed across most product categories, including (of course) Kogan's own range of tech, appliances and electronics.

I've handpicked some of the top deals available from Kogan right now. Not a Kogan First member? You can sign up for a free Kogan First trial here to score some extra member-only savings and free delivery to eligible suburbs. You may also want to get a wriggle on if you see a deal that appeals — these prices are only sticking around until December 5, 2025.

We're fans of the 'Zon here at Tom's Guide AU, and I often highlight the best Amazon deals as soon as I find them.

Ranging from Lego to home appliances and tech gadgets, these deals are quite impressive, if I do say so myself.

You'll need to act fast to snap up these Amazon deals, though — they're only available while stocks last.

Best Amazon deals right now

We're about a month out from Black Friday 2025, and that means the number of deals and discounts on offer is about to shoot through the roof. Naturally, having so many deals on offer means we need to remain vigilant about how we spend our money. Not just to avoid impulse purchases and spending more than we intended, but also to avoid phoney deals that claim to offer better savings than they actually do.

To try and avoid that the best I can, I always take advantage of one trick to optimize my Black Friday shopping. It's something you can do too, and all you need is an Amazon account and a wish list.

I've been using Amazon's wish list feature since I was still in school, so that my parents could show relatives what I wanted for my birthday or Christmas. I do still use it for that, but it's also taken a more prominent role in helping me save money on the stuff I want. In more ways than you might think.

Here's how it could help you improve your own Black Friday shopping experience.

Organizing what you need

The problem with sales and shopping of any kind is that it's way too easy to be tempted into spending money on things you never intended to buy. There's a whole psychology about why retailers do what they do, and the goal is always the same: Get you to impulse buy and spend money on stuff you otherwise wouldn't have purchased.

But in the same way that having a set grocery list can stop you from loading up your shopping cart with snacks (something I'm very guilty of), having a pre-determined Black Friday wish list can help control those impulses that tell you buying another giant Lego set just because it's $50 off is a good idea.

You have a list of the things you want to buy, and from the wish list, you can see how much they all cost at any given time. Better still, the list also shows you whether a product is on sale or not, showing you the original and sale price side-by-side.

For example, I have the Captain America: Brave New World 4K Blu-ray in my wish list, and Amazon says it's currently part of a "limited time deal." That means it's £20 instead of £25 — a saving of 20%.

The Amazon mobile app even has a bunch of extra filters to see different kinds of products on your wish lists — including a "Deals" button. That means you can see which saved products are currently discounted, alongside the usual information of how much they're going to cost. Currently, though, most of the stuff I want isn't on sale, so all I can see is that same copy of Captain America 4 and some reflective film for my windows — which are mainly just there as a reminder that they exist.

Of course, there's another thing wish lists do that could stop you falling for the old fake-discount scam.

Seeing how much those products used to cost

The one thing people should always watch out for during sales events is switcheroos with the price. You know the kind of so-called "deals" that show you an incredible discount compared to the MSRP, but a little digging reveals that the price has been completely static for months. All the retailer did was slap a deal sticker onto it and hoped nobody would notice.

The Captain America 4 Blu-ray is a good example of that. It's actually been on that "limited time deal" since before I added it to my wish list on October 15. I know that the price hasn't dropped over the past couple of weeks, because otherwise the wish list would actually say so — and a quick check with CamelCamelCamel's price checker confirms that the £20 price tag has been there since exactly October 15.

While it doesn't happen on mobile, at least not on Android, checking your Amazon wish list in a desktop browser (or desktop mode on your phone) can show you if the price has dropped since the day you first added a product to it. This includes how much it originally cost and the percentage price drop since that day.

Crucially, though, it doesn't tell you anything if the price has either increased or stayed the same. So if Amazon hasn't told you that the price has dropped, then that's your first indication that the deal may not be quite as impressive as it appears.

Though the fact that there's no active price history tool built into the wish list means that you should always double-check these things before you buy. I personally use CamelCamelCamel, but there are plenty of other tools online that will do the same job.

As part of my Prime Big Deal Days live coverage, I've been keeping an eye out for any truly exceptional deals during Amazon's shopping event, and this might be the top bargain I've spotted thus far.

Samsung’s Galaxy Watch Ultra is one of the most compelling premium smartwatches you can buy, and right now it's available at an incredible 51% discount for Prime Big Deal Days — that's an incredible AU$526 off the usual price!

Designed in sleek Titanium Grey, this device delivers a powerful blend of style and functionality. It features advanced fitness tracking to monitor your workouts, heart rate, sleep and more, along with comprehensive health tools like ECG, blood oxygen, blood pressure and stress tracking.

Dual-frequency GPS ensures pinpoint location accuracy, while LTE connectivity keeps you connected even without your phone, making it ideal for outdoor activities and when you're at the gym.

If you prefer a different finish, the Titanium Silver model is also heavily discounted — just AU$529, down from AU$1,035 — offering the same features and rugged styling in a lighter look.

You don't even need an Amazon Prime subscription to nab these deals, though being a member does bring some nice perks, like free delivery and access to exclusive deals, Prime Video, Prime Reading, Amazon Music Prime and more.

Seriously, these amazing deals on Samsung's top smartwatch are going to disappear fast, so I recommend you don't wait too long before making a decision!

It's my favourite month of the year — Croctober! — and there's no better time to slide into a fresh pair of clogs from the iconic shoe brand.

Right now, during Amazon Prime Big Deal Days, Crocs has slashed up to 50% off select styles, including sandals, sneakers, and, of course, moulded clogs. You can even find discounts on Jibbitz packs, too, so you can personalise your new pair for less.

I've gathered my personal favourites below for your perusal. Do note, though, to take full advantage of these crockin' deals, you'll need to be an Amazon Prime member. You can sign up for a 30-day free trial to access all the best bargains and score fun perks like free same-day delivery.

You'll need to act fast if you want to grab a new pair of clogs — these deals are set to expire on Monday, October 13, 2025 and are only available while stocks last. Happy Croc-stomping!

Amazon Wish Lists actively track prices and send you notifications when deals appear— and with Prime Day happening through October 8, that feature becomes incredibly useful.

Amazon is gearing up to announce new branded products in the coming hours, with its annual Devices and Services event starting at 10 am ET / 12 am AEST (Wednesday). But the tight-lipped retailer might have just dropped a sneaky hint about what's to come in the lead-up to Prime Big Deal Days.

Prime Big Deal Days kicks off globally on October 7, 2025, with deals expected on the latest tech, appliances and more. Often, a week before the sale starts, the retailer discounts its own device range as early Prime Day deals.

After looking into the newly available deals, I've spotted several price drops in Amazon's existing lineup. Multiple Ring, Blink, and eero devices have had their RRPs slashed. For simplicity's sake, I've popped them into a table below, highlighting each device's previous pricing.

Get your credit cards ready! Everyone's favourite online retailer, Amazon, has officially announced its second Prime-exclusive sale of the year, starting Tuesday, October 7.

No, it's not a double-take — for the second time in 2025, Prime Day (or in this instance, Prime Big Deal Days), will be a seven-day-long sale! This is the second massive weeklong Prime Day sale after the event in July, which had us dealers in a daze. The sale will come to a close in the final hours of Monday, October 13, with hundreds of thousands of products set to be discounted across the entire period.

With less than 100 days until Christmas, the retailer has announced significant deals on tech, homewares, and appliances, making it a perfect opportunity to shop for the festive season.

Not much else has been revealed about the event at this point; however, we can reasonably expect some of the best Amazon deals of the year, so if you're not a Prime member already, it's time to sign up!

Prime Big Deal Days 2025: what to expect

If Prime Day Week's sale in July was anything to go by, we can anticipate some stellar deals on a range of products, such as Amazon devices like Kindles, Echo smart speakers and Fire TV sticks. And we can reasonably expect some great discounts on tech items, like headphones, smartwatches, laptops, gaming consoles and PC peripherals.

If you're completely new to Prime or you missed out on the July sale, you can sign up for a 30-day free trial so you can experience the best of the Prime Big Deal Days bargains. Some membership perks include free and same-day delivery to eligible suburbs, a Prime Video subscription and access to member-exclusive sales like Prime Day.

But a word from a seasoned deal hunter to you, my dear reader — if you want to take full advantage of Prime Big Deal Days, you may want to hold off and sign up during the first week of October. But if you decide to sign up early, your free trial window should see you through to the end of the sale.

So if you've been eyeing your next Amazon purchase, or want to shop and save big before Black Friday rolls around in November, Prime Day's seven-day deals fest could be an ideal time to nab a nice bargain.

As always, we will be on deck throughout the entire sale and bring you the best deals as they appear. But until then, see you on October 7, shoppers!

Okay, so it seems pretty likely that Google's Pixel 10 series will be unveiled next month on August 20, but forget about that for a minute — The Good Guys has drastically reduced the price of last year's Google Pixel 9 Pro XL, making it a far better buy for those looking to keep costs down.

Right now, The Good Guys has the 128GB model of Google's current flagship in the Obsidian (Black) listed at AU$922, which is already an amazing price when you consider the phone's AU$1,849 RRP. It's also in-line with what most other Aussie retailers are selling it for as they attempt to clear out old stock before the Pixel 10's arrival.

However, a quick press of the 'Price Beat' button on The Good Guys website will bring that price down even further to an all-time low of just AU$888 — that's almost a thousand bucks off! Talk about an unbeatable price!

In our review of the Pixel 9 Pro XL, we raved about the phone's extremely bright display, clever AI features and exceptional battery life, but bemoaned the handset's higher price point and minimal camera upgrades.

Well, this deal takes care of that first complaint, and given that the upcoming Pixel 10 Pro XL is tipped to sport a near-identical camera system to its predecessor (outside of a slightly better selfie camera), we think that second bugbear isn't anything to worry about, either.

If there's one concern we have about this deal, it's that 128GB of storage simply doesn't go as far as it used to these days. Still, if you're willing to overlook that, this is an outstanding offer on one of the best Android phones in Australia.

Santa is coming… in precisely 163 days, that is. But before Santa can get his shorts on and deliver his presents for the ultimate Aussie summer Christmas, you may be thinking about doing some gift giving of your own — and snagging some bangin' Amazon bargains while you're at it.

In which case, celebrate Christmas in July this year and get ahead of the game with these 5 top gift ideas, courtesy of Amazon Prime Day. These deals make excellent gifts for nearly every age — including your grandparents — and could make for great additions to your own ever-growing wish list.

We know there's going to be at least one major sales event before December (hello, Black Friday 2025). However, there's no harm in grabbing some gifts now, especially since you have five months to make returns, exchanges or refunds. Also, it's a good idea to sign up for Amazon Prime if you haven't done so already. With a 30-day free trial for new members, you could always give it a go now and see if it's a subscription worth maintaining ahead of the next major Amazon sale — likely Prime Big Deal Days in October.

As for right now, though, you'll need to act fast to score these stellar steals below. These deals are set to expire tonight – at 11:59pm AEST on Monday, July 14.

Best Christmas in July Prime Day deals

We've just passed the halfway mark in Amazon's longest-ever Australian Prime Day deals event — which this year runs for a whopping 7 days — and while there have been plenty of bargains worth stepping out for, some of my personal favourites hail from top-rated shoe brand Skechers.

Right now, you can save up to 64% off select sneakers, slippers and sandals on the Skechers Amazon storefront. Casual and active styles across the men's, women's and kid's ranges have been marked down, offering plush, cloud-like comfort for all-day wear.

If you don't yet own a pair of Skechers-branded shoes or sneakers, now's a great time to grab your wallet and lace up a new pair. Below, I've gathered my top 7 comfy deals worth dipping your toes into, including some fuzzy slippers that are perfect for this cold (read: miserable) Aussie winter.

If the pairs I've selected below aren't quite your pace, note that Skechers has a complete list of discounted shoes on its Amazon storefront. You'll need to act fast to score some of the best Skechers Prime Day discounts, though. These discounts are only available while stocks last and will end on Monday, 14 July.

Prime Day 2025 may be Amazon AU’s longest-ever run for the annual sale event, but if you’ve yet to take advantage, the good news is that you've still got 96 hours or so to nab a bargain (or two). And if you’re a coffee drinker, one deal really stands out above the rest.

While there are plenty of deals on manual or semi-automatic machines for Prime Day, if pulling the perfect shot or calculating the grind size yourself is simply too much hassle, then a machine like the Nespresso Vertuo Pop could be right for you. Taking away the trickiness of coffee bean selection and excessive cleaning that comes with owning a manual machine, Nespresso's capsule system takes the guesswork out of barista-made cups at home, providing consistent cups with the simple touch of a button.

And right now, Nespresso's Vertuo Pop machine is down to just AU$80 — that's 65% off RRP. The only catch? This price is exclusive to the Pacific Blue colourway, and you’ll need to be an Amazon Prime member to access the deal.

If your budget can stretch to AU$169, then you might want to consider nabbing the Nespresso Vertuo Pop and Aeroccino 3 milk frother, with all the bells and whistles in a fun Spicy Red bundle.

You'll also need to act fast to score this fabulous coffee machine, though — this deal’s only available while stocks last and will only be discounted until the end of Prime Day on Monday, 14 July.

After owning a Nespresso Vertuo Pop machine for quite some time, I can't recommend this little machine enough. If you're unsure about trying coffee capsules, you can't go wrong with the sample kit, as you can test Nespresso's top-rated pods to find your personal favourite.

If you do decide to plonk out the extra for the Aeroccino 3 milk frother, it’s easy to use and to clean, perfectly heating up your preferred milk to foamy heaven. It has three settings, and it's just as simple — if not more — to use as the Vertuo Pop itself.

So, if you're ready to step into the world of pod coffee, this is a deal not to miss.

As a Lego enthusiast myself (not a qualified master, but I'm hopeful), I can tell you that there's nothing more entertaining on a rainy day than diving into a new build. Since finding the best Amazon deals is my bread and butter, it's no surprise that Amazon Prime Day offers some pretty epic discounts on select Lego sets.

From DC Comics to Disney, and all the Lego Artworks and Architecture sets in between, there's up to 44% off Lego on Amazon right now. I've rounded up some of my favourite bargains below, including affordable sets like Lego Iconic Cherry Blossoms for just AU$13.60.

Several great kits have already sold out, but there's still plenty worth snapping up, especially at these discounted prices. If my recommendations don't quite tickle your fancy, or if you're after a more advanced or specific set, you can check out the full list of deals on Lego's Amazon storefront.

You'll need to act quick if you've got your eye on any of these sets — these deals expire on Monday, 14 July, 2025, and are obviously only available while stocks last.

Even for a seasoned sales event reporter like myself, the speed at which the sleek Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge's price has dropped is astounding.

Less than two months after its release, Amazon's Prime Day 2025 sale has seen it plummet by an incredible AU$870, bringing its price down to just AU$2,049 AU$1,179. Needless to say, this price is an all-time low for the still-new device.

Of course, you'll need to be a Prime member to take advantage of this awesome deal. If you aren't already a member, you can still nab this discount by signing up for a 30-day Amazon Prime free trial.

If you don't already own the excellent Galaxy S25 Ultra, the Galaxy S25 Edge is the next best thing, offering the same flagship-level performance as its beefier sibling, as well as its 200MP main camera.

This deal is undoubtedly the most affordable way to get a current Samsung flagship with 512GB of storage. Even the entry-level Galaxy S25, with its inferior camera system and lower resolution display, is currently more expensive on Amazon at AU$1,599 AU$1,246.

If I didn't already own the Galaxy S25 Ultra, I would instantly jump on this deal. If you've been holding out for an unbeatable deal on the S25 Edge, this might just be your best shot for a while.

Prime Day 2025 is in full swing, with the major sales event kicking off in the wee hours of this morning (Tuesday, 8 July). And, while we anticipate more stellar deals to make their appearances throughout the week, these hot Apple deals are something worth showcasing from the get-go.

With up to 30% off select products across the entire lineup — like iPhones, iPads, MacBooks, Watches and AirPods — there's no better time to nab the coveted Apple item you've had your eye on. What makes these deals even more enticing is that some items come with extra perks, like cashback if you trade in an older device or AU$100 promo credit for Adobe.

The full list of discounted items can be found on Apple's Amazon storefront, but you'll need to act fast. These deals are set to expire on Monday, July 14, 2025 or when stock runs out (whichever comes first).

If you’ve been holding out for a good deal before picking up a new Samsung flagship device, you should know that time is running out to take advantage of the EOFY sales. In fact, today is your last chance to score an epic discount before the start of the new financial year.

So if you’re looking to grab a new phone and still claim it as a tax deduction for the current financial year, now’s the time to make a decision.

Right now, both the Galaxy S25 Ultra and the Galaxy S25 Edge have hit their lowest prices to date, with massive savings of up to AU$452 on the table for EOFY.

The Galaxy S25 Ultra is the best phone of 2025 so far, and you can pick up the 256GB model right now for a cool AU$2,149 AU$1,697 on Amazon. Alternatively, the 512GB model has been reduced by AU$424, now only AU$2,349 AU$1,925. If I didn’t already have this phone, I would snatch this deal up in a heartbeat.

Or how about the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge, which only released at the end of May this year? You can now snag the 256GB model for an impressive AU$1,849 AU$1,449, while the 512GB model has also had its price slashed, now only AU$2,049 AU$1,649.

That’s a saving of AU$400 for a phone that’s only a month old! Talk about an incredibly attractive proposition for early adopters.

If you're after the best smartphone experience, my advice is to look no further than the Galaxy S25 Ultra. It not only boasts the immensely powerful Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, it also sports Samsung's most advanced smartphone camera system to date, featuring a 200MP main sensor, a new 50MP ultra-wide lens and a 10MP telephoto lens. Additionally, it offers the latest Galaxy AI features and a convenient built-in S Pen for seamless note-taking.

Meanwhile, the Galaxy S25 Edge shares the same powerful Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset and 200MP main camera as the Galaxy S25 Ultra, but distinguishes itself with an incredibly sleek new frame, measuring a mere 5.8mm in thickness. However, it does come with a couple of drawbacks: the rest of its camera array isn't as capable as the Ultra's, and it also lacks S Pen support.

Regardless of which phone you prefer, there's no denying that these are exceptionally good deals. You'll have to act fast, though, as these deals are unlikely to still be around tomorrow.

Despite its age, Dyson's V8 cordless vacuum cleaner is still a seriously effective and innovative model. It doesn't boast any dust-spotting optic lights like the Dyson Gen5Detect, but it does provide up to 40 minutes of fade-free power on a full charge, and I think that simple approach is refreshing these days.

Better yet, it's now available at the discounted price of AU$799 AU$357 on Amazon, which is pretty great when you consider this version comes with a motorbar cleaner head, combination tool, docking station, hair screw tool, charger and crevice tool.

That said, there's a sweeter deal for eBay Plus members! Grab the V8 from the Dyson Australia eBay store and punch in the code PLUSSS for an extra AU$30 off. That brings the price down to an all-time low of AU$327 — AU$2 cheaper than its previous lowest price back in December.

If you're not already an eBay Plus member, you can still snag this deal by signing up to the service's 30-day free trial. You even the choice to cancel your subscription at any time, should you choose to do so.

Now that's a banger of a deal! Alternatively, those who'd prefer a newer model could opt for the Dyson V10 Absolute, which you can currently score at an epic AU$750 discount on the Dyson eBay store when you use the same PLUSSS code at checkout. That brings its price down to just AU$1,299 AU$549!
