Amazon Prime Day 2022: Hank’s 10 can’t-miss deals
Local 4′s Hank Winchester reports: Happy Amazon Prime Day!
I hope you’re ready to save big because the deals are huge. I’m in the market for a TV and have been waiting for today to make my move. Anyone have a Smart TV they love? Let me know because it can be overwhelming with so many models and deals on the market.
A few things I hope you will remember:
- Be safe online. Scammers will be looking for you online.
- Make sure you’re on the real Amazon website -- sometimes a pop up ad can take you to another fake page.
- Use a credit card over a debit card -- it offers more protection.
And, price compare! Many stores are offering big deals to take your attention away from Amazon. Target and Best Buy have hundreds of items slashed more than 50% off right now!
Okay, enough chit chat!
Here are some of the deals I already spotted on Amazon.
