What are you shopping for during the Amazon Prime Day Deals 2024? I am an Amazon Affiliate, I do earn a small commission when you shop from my Amazon Storefront. This year's Prime Day Deals are Tuesday, July 16, and Wednesday, July 17, 2024. We are very practical when it comes to Amazon Prime Day Deals, in the past we have purchased technology-related items we had been needing but mostly we get household basics.  

While it can be easy to get caught up in a sale, or deals you see content creators like myself share on social media. Be sure not to get scammed, Amazon is known for hiking up their prices on the days leading up to Prime Day, just to make it look like you are getting a deal. There are some good deals out there, but just be sure to do your research and be a smart shopper. 

If you have never used CamelCamelCamel, it is a website where you can check an Amazon Product and see what has been the lowest price. That is a game changer to be able to check the price history to be sure it really is a good deal.

Here are some other sites to check on Amazon prices Keepa, Honey, and Price Before.

As a budget-minded, frugal shopper, that is one of the main reasons I love TikTok Shop, it gives me another place to cross-check prices and truly look for the best deal. 

I have to be honest, I have not been that impressed with the Amazon Prime Day Deals in the past few years. My favorite place to shop right now is TikTok Shop. I find a ton more deals over on TikTok lately than over on Amazon. TikTok Shop has just finished their Deals For You Days, so if you missed out on any of those products you had your eye on, now would be a good time to check and see if they are part of the Prime Day Deals on Amazon. 

I know not everyone has TikTok and some of you may have never purchased anything on TikTok. Go check out my TikTok page I only share things we love and use. You can find me on TikTok @BlogAboutItAll. Similar to an Amazon Storefront Page, TikTok has what is called Showcase. When you go to my profile you can find my TikTok favorites on my Showcase right on my profile page. 

I find it much easier to shop on TikTok Shop because when you see a content creator sharing a video, sharing a product, the link is directly there at the bottom of the video in a little orange shopping cart. There is no going to someone's Amazon Storefront and trying to find the product. TikTok Shop is very convenient. 

Here is the link to my Amazon Storefront, I have a folder of my favorite Prime Day Prime Day Deals here. As an Amazon Affiliate and TikTok Shop Affiliate, I appreciate anytime you shop off of my links. Thank you for your support of my small business. 

As a budget shopper myself I would rather shop with my fellow affiliate friends and give them a few pennies if it is Amazon, a few dollars if it is TikTok. I know many don't think it matters, but every little bit helps support your favorite content creators. It takes a lot of time for content creators to share their favorite deals. It takes time filming, editing, writing blog posts, or social media captions. I am not always sure people realize that it really is a full-time job. Why not support everyday moms and people you follow rather than just giving more money to the big guys like Amazon, Walmart, etc. Happy deal hunting to you!

Disclosure: I am part of the California State Fair media program, in exchange for my time and efforts in attending shows and reporting my opinion within this blog, as well as keeping you advised of the latest discount offers, I am provided with complimentary tickets.  Even though I receive these benefits, I always give an opinion that is 100% mine.

The California State Fair is here at the Cal Expo State Fair Grounds through Sunday, July 28th, 2024. Our family loves visiting the California State Fair annually. My favorite things are of course the food and the indoor exhibits because it is hot here in Northern California. Taking in the exhibits in the air-conditioned buildings is a great way to cool off and take a little break from the heat.

There is so much great entertainment and performers at the California State Fair, for a full list of the entertainment and performers click here. 

Rustic Charm Marketplace is a NEW exhibit in Building 1, I loved it. If you love to shop and support local there are so many local crafters and things like local honey, BBQ sauces, and more. 

Animation Academy is a NEW exhibit in Building 4 and our family loved it. They have hands-on things to do while learning about how animation is made. You also get a blast from the past of some of our favorite Saturday cartoon favorites. You can create your own stop-motion animated short and so much more. 

Know before you go there is a clear bag policy, no bags larger than 12"x12"x2" are allowed.

You can bring outside food and drinks, just no glass, or aluminum cans, no hydro flasks, metal water bottles, or outside alcohol is allowed. 

If you love fireworks, they light up the sky every Friday and Saturday during the fair at 10 PM.

Poppy's birthday celebration will be on Tuesday, July 23rd, which is always a fun day to take the kids. Celebrate another year of life and joy with your favorite golden bear, Poppy, born on August 16, 1996! Fairgoers of all ages are invited to enjoy music, live entertainment, free Tootsie Pops provided by Save Mart, and lots of fun with Poppy and other mascot friends. Don’t miss the California State Fair’s biggest birthday bash from 11 am to 11:30 am on the PG&E Center Stage!

Here are some tips to help you enjoy your visit.

Freeze Water Bottles, make sure they are sealed. 

Take a handheld fan, one of those mist ones is the best. 

Get there early, spend a few hours, and then head home for a break and return in the evening hours when it is cooler. 

A great place to cool off is at the Bonney Cooling Stations, they have shade, chairs and large fans to help cool you off. There are four stations, at the main entrance next to the old Raging Waters. Behind Building 6 near Heart Health Park. In the Spa Area in front of Building A and West of the Rodeo Arena.

When you need a place to cool off, head to the exhibit buildings, we loved the NEW Animation Academy Exhibit. My kids could spend a long time in there exploring and enjoying the hands-on activities.

Know the special deal days, like SMUD Giving Monday, Tuesday $2 Ride Day, Taste of the Fair Days (Wednesday & Thursday), and Senior Savings Fridays. You can find more details about all of these deal days right here. 

Save time waiting in line and purchase your tickets online before you visit, you can do that here. 

As always I share a lot more in video form, check out our TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, or YouTube. I truly appreciate every one of you that reads my blog posts, and thank you for every like, comment, and share.
