By Jennifer Allen September 28, 2020

This Prime Day season, if you want to help small businesses as well as the almighty Amazon, you can. That’s thanks to Amazon offering Prime members a $10 credit to use on Prime Day 2020 when they spend $10 on items sold by select small businesses via the Amazon store. This way, you get to enjoy all the benefits of Prime Day while also knowing you’re helping smaller firms get by during this exceptionally tricky year.

The offer starts today and runs through October 12 so there’s plenty of time to snap up your $10 credit, all by picking out a great small business that sells something you really want. Amazon small business sellers include brands like Leovard, a skincare serum devised by Dr Sheg Aranmolate, and designed to solve razor bump issues and skin irritation after shaving.

You can also check out Amazon’s Support Small page which offers up various categories of different products. Want to buy jewelry or something handmade from a small U.S.-based business? Hit the link and you can find all kinds of great things, from bespoke pieces of art to personalized bracelets or necklaces. You can treat your kids to unique toys like stuffed animals you just can’t get elsewhere or fun Halloween costumes.

Alternatively, if you’re keen to help certain business owners, you can check out military family-owned firms or black or female owned businesses, and help those who have been most innovative in recent times. It’s fascinating exploring what’s available through Amazon’s Small Business scheme and there’s never been a better time than now.

That’s because right now, if you spend $10 or more at one of these small businesses, you get $10 of Amazon credit to use on Prime Day. Prime Day is already going to offer some fantastic deals and bargains anyhow so an extra $10 will make it all the sweeter.

Enjoy the great sense of satisfaction that comes from knowing you’ve helped smaller businesses, while also saving $10 on future purchases. What more could you need? It’s ideal timing with holiday shopping a priority for many of us right now. The deal is available for all Amazon Prime members.

The Fire TV Stick is 58% off, the cheapest it’s ever been

Two Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Max sticks in hand.

Even though most modern TVs come with some form of smart TV platform, that doesn't necessarily mean you'll like it, especially if you're already ingrained in another ecosystem. That's where the Amazon Fire TV stick comes into play, allowing Amazon users to gain access to the Amazon ecosystem with a simple little device, and it's even going for very cheap right now. While it's normally $40, you can grab it for just $17 from Amazon, which is great, especially if you want to grab a couple of different TVs.

Why you should buy the Fire TV Stick
Of course, if you're not familiar with what is the Amazon Fire TV, it's a little device that attaches to your HDMI port and lets you stream directly from the stick, which hosts Amazon's Fire Smart TV platform. Another important thing to know about the Fire TV Stick is that it runs on FHD resolutions only; if you want something that can handle 4k TVs, you should pick up the Fire TV Stick 4K Max, which has many great extra features. Under the plastic, you'll find a dual-core processor, dedicated VideoCore4 GPU, and 1GB of RAM, which may not seem like much, but it still provides a relatively snappy experience when browsing all the channels. There's also 8GB storage to save a couple of episodes of something, and a dual-band, dual-antenna Wi-Fi adapter that provides a strong internet connection so you can stream everything without lag or issues.

Amazon’s take on the Apple AirPods are down to $35 right now

amazon echo buds 2023 review 7

If you're thinking about buying wireless earbuds but you're on a tight budget, you should check out the third-generation Amazon Echo Buds. They were just released last month, but they're already part of this year's Prime Day deals with a $15 discount that makes their already low price of $50 even more affordable, as you can get them for just $35. They're a steal for this cheap, but a lot of shoppers will be thinking that as well, so it's highly recommended that you buy the wireless earbuds right now while stocks are still available.

Why you should buy the third-generation Amazon Echo Buds
The third-generation Amazon Echo Buds are already included in our roundup of the best cheap headphones and earbuds because they come with a price that's tough to beat. There's a lot of technologies that you can find in the best wireless earbuds, like the Apple AirPods Pro 2, that are missing in the Amazon Echo Buds 2023, including active noise cancellation and wireless charging, but for what they cost, they're considered a decent set of wireless earbuds. They even slightly make up for the lack of ANC through a semi-in-ear design that helps reduce noise.

Time is running out to get this 50-inch 4K TV for $200 at Amazon

There aren't many hours left to check out the Prime Day deals but there's still enough time to buy one of the cheapest Prime Day TV deals we've seen throughout the sales event. That deal is being able to buy a Pioneer 50-inch 4K TV for just $160, saving you a hefty 50% or $160 off the regular price of $320. It's not often we see a TV as cheap as this, especially when it's 4K and a good size for most living rooms. If you're in need of a cheap TV, this is a great option to pursue. However, you really don't have long to buy it as Prime Day ends today. We're talking mere hours to go. You've got time to check out what we know about the TV but from there, make a purchase quickly if it's the one for you. You'll hate it if you miss out on a TV at 50% off.

Why you should buy the Pioneer 50-inch 4K TV
Pioneer may not be one of the best TV brands around but it's well-established and not exactly a no-name choice. No one is expecting one of the best TVs when they're paying $150 but this one covers all the basics and a little more too. For instance, besides its 4K resolution, it also has Dolby Vision support so you get sharper contrast and better picture quality than ones that don't support it. It's those kind of things that soon add up.
