BARGAIN hunters are taking advantage of the epic one million deals worldwide, after online retailer Amazon kicked off this year's Prime sale.
The annual Amazon Prime Day event has been dubbed the online giant's version of Black Friday, and this year the reductions will be available for two days.
Amazon Prime Day is an annual sale lasting just one day
When does Amazon Prime Day end?
Amazon Prime Day started at 00.01am on Monday, July 15.
This year, the event is running for two days, meaning Amazon Prime Day will end at midnight on Tuesday July 16.
When Amazon Prime Day first started it just lasted 24 hours but over the years this has steadily increased to 30 hours, then 36 hours in 2018, and now 48 hours in 2019.
Amazon ran its first Prime Day in 2015, for its 20th anniversary, and it was so successful that the company decided to make it an annual affair.
Unlike Black Friday, all the deals are online - so thankfully there's no chance of a brawl breaking out.
How can I get the best Amazon Prime Day deals?
Amazon bosses have promised discounts on thousands of products across TVs, smart home, kitchen, grocery, toys, furniture, fashion and outdoor items.
Top deals include the ghd ultimate styling gift set, now £174.99 - down from £249.99.
The Sony advanced compact premium camera, originally sold for £613, has been reduced to £479.
Also new for Prime Day this year are "Lightning Deals".
These deals will have limited quantities, which means once they're gone they're gone - so you need to get in quick to nab them.
Amazon says they will be launched regularly throughout the 48-hour event, and it's hinted that this year will see the biggest Prime Day deals ever on Alexa-enabled devices.
