Buying advice

Memorial Day is a great time to check for deals as Amazon, and other retailers, are holding sales over the long weekend. Sometimes, you can see prices are inflated before being reduced, to look like a good deal, but in fact no real value is on offer. Above, we've checked the price history of the products on sale to make sure you're actually getting a good price.

If you don't find something suitable above, and of course there are a lot more deals than just what we've highlighted in this guide, it could be worth waiting for Amazon Prime Day, which isn't far away. We're expecting to see a lot more deals on many more products during that annual sales event, so don't feel the need to buy if you're unsure now.
