Amazon's Mid-Year Sale: the best deals still available to shop
Amazon's Mid-Year Sale deals are ending soon, so you better act fast!
Amazon's Mid-Year Sale officially ended this past Friday, June 7th, 2024, kicking off the EOFY sales happening everywhere else, making it the perfect time to snag a bargain.
We've already seen massive discounts on a wide range of products, from ereaders and headphones to vacuums and appliances. Typically, Amazon's Mid-Year Sale is seen as a precursor to Amazon Prime Day, which is also rapidly approaching, but while both offer big price reductions, the two sales are quite different — for one, you don't have to be a Prime subscriber to take advantage of this particular sales event, meaning everyone can save a bundle!
So if you've had your eye on a particular product, we suggest having a look now to see if you can score it at a lower price. While the sale period has ended, there's still plenty of great deals available to score right now. We've rounded up some of the best deals still on offer right now, so if you missed the sale completely, there's still a chance to shop and save big.

When is Amazon’s Mid-Year Sale 2024?
Last year, Amazon's Mid-Year Sale kicked off at 12am AEST on June 1, 2023 and is set to continue until 11:59pm AEST on Tuesday, June 6, 2023. While Amazon has yet to officially confirm a Mid-Year Sale in 2024, we're fairly confident the online retail giant will hold a sales event to coincide with Australia's EOFY sales which occur around the same time.
Should I wait for Prime Day?
Typically, Amazon's Prime Day sale tends to offer a wider range of discounts compared to its Mid-Year Sale. However, if you spot a great deal during the Mid-Year Sale (assuming it will take place this year), it might be wise to pounce on it as it may not come around again on Prime Day.
Another big difference between the two is that Prime Day deals are exclusively for Prime subscribers, while Amazon’s Mid-Year Sale is usually available to everyone. So if you aren't a Prime member, there's no point waiting. Of course, you could always sign up to Amazon Prime for a free 30-day trial if you're a first-time subscriber.
