1. Electronics

While Amazon has tons of daily deals on electronics during Prime Day, keep in mind that Black Friday and Cyber Monday (in November) tend to have the best electronic deals.

2. Mattresses

The best mattress sales are around the end of summer during Labor Day, so if you’re looking for a new bed, you may want to hold off until September.

3. Toys

Tons of toys will be on sale during Prime Day, however, toys typically go on sale around major holidays such as Labor Day, Black Friday, and Cyber Monday.

4. Game Consoles

Game consoles are in high demand and are always searched for, and while they may be discounted to an extent on Prime Day, you will get a better deal on Black Friday or Cyber Monday if you can wait until then.

5. Laptops

These high-ticketed items are always on wishlists, however, while slightly reduced in price, you won’t get as good of a deal on a laptop as much as you would on Black Friday or Cyber Monday.
