The tech giant has launched its annual Prime Day event, with thousands of tempting bargains – many at up to half price – for the next 48-hours. But some money-savers could get an extra 20% off

Prime Day was the largest shopping event in Amazon’s history last year, with more than 1million toys, tech and games sold in 24-hours

Amazon has kicked off its annual Prime Day clear-out, with discounts on thousands of lines, as it looks to cash in on bargain-hungry Brits.

The shopping event, which launches on Tuesday, offers big savings and free delivery for its most loyal customers.

This year, the ‘sale’ will run for 48 hours and members will be able to access big discounts on a range of products.

Expect to see thousands of deals, with extra large discounts on Amazon Alexa-enabled devices.

There will also be Lightning Deals, where you can bag a bargain on certain products for a limited time only.

The online retail behemoth said savers can get up to 50% off items, with discounts on televisions, kindles and smart home devices.

But smart spenders may be able to unlock a further 20% saving by shopping in the right location.
