You might have heard of a little something called Amazon Prime Day, the e-retailer’s event spanning July 12 and 13, but what you might not have heard is that the deals have already begun. Amazon Prime members are able to scoop up ahead-of-the-sale discounts on Amazon devices and brands. Shop must-have tech like TVs, Luna game controllers and Fire TV sticks as well as clothing, home essentials, pet items and more well ahead of the wider sale. We’ve rounded up some of the best picks for you below.
