This is not 36 00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:25,160 Speaker 1: actually about encouraging mindless spending or pushing consumerism. Far from it. 37 00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:31,320 Speaker 1: I am all about intentional, planned and purposeful purchases backed 38 00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:35,639 Speaker 1: by efficiency, and that's exactly how I personally approach Prime 39 00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:40,440 Speaker 1: Day Now. I love Amazon Prime. Here's why it saves 40 00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:44,960 Speaker 1: me time and money, two of the most valuable resources 41 00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:48,079 Speaker 1: in my life right now, as a mother, a business owner, 42 00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:53,680 Speaker 1: and an investor. Their prices are competitive all year round, 43 00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:57,560 Speaker 1: and with Amazon's Prime free and fast delivery, I do 44 00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:00,880 Speaker 1: not need to waste money on petrol, fighting the traffic, 45 00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:05,040 Speaker 1: or struggling to squeeze into those tiny parking spots. Nor 46 00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:08,600 Speaker 1: do I have to risk the further and very real 47 00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:13,320 Speaker 1: temptation to spend more at the shopping center, or even worse, 48 00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:17,000 Speaker 1: the danger of my three kids making me spend more. 49 00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:20,880 Speaker 1: The time that I save by using the efficiency of 50 00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:23,959 Speaker 1: Amazon Prime means I get more time back with my kids, 51 00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:27,480 Speaker 1: more headspace to focus on getting my work done and 52 00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:30,520 Speaker 1: the bills paid. And dare I say even a little 53 00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:34,079 Speaker 1: bit more time just for me to breathe and hear 54 00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:38,120 Speaker 1: myself think now, Amazon Prime Day, this is a whole 55 00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:42,720 Speaker 1: other level of serious savings. If you aren't familiar with 56 00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:45,920 Speaker 1: Prime Day, it's one of Amazon's biggest sale events of 57 00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:49,200 Speaker 1: the year in twenty twenty five, is actually running for 58 00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:53,200 Speaker 1: a full seven days from July eighth through to July 59 00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:57,160 Speaker 1: the fourteenth. That's a whole entire week of exclusive discounts 60 00:03:57,200 --> 00:04:01,760 Speaker 1: on everything from fashion and homewares to tech and pantry staples. 61 00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:04,480 Speaker 1: But you've got to remember this it's just for Amazon 62 00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:08,800 Speaker 1: Prime members. Some of the biggest brands are included this year. 63 00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:16,200 Speaker 1: Think Dyson, Lego, Kuala, Apple, Omo, scrub Daddy, and more So, 64 00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:18,359 Speaker 1: if there is something that you've had your eye on, 65 00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:21,040 Speaker 1: or you're looking for a few items that might help 66 00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:24,000 Speaker 1: you save money, this could be the time to grab it. 67 00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:26,680 Speaker 1: So let me walk you through how I prep for 68 00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:31,320 Speaker 1: Prime Day, but in the financially friendly way. So start 69 00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:34,360 Speaker 1: with a wish list. I like to create a list 70 00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:37,040 Speaker 1: of what I actually need or have been watching for 71 00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:41,680 Speaker 1: a while now. That might be skincare, kitchen gadget, school supplies, 72 00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:46,280 Speaker 1: or even like home organizational tools and definitely pet supplies. 73 00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:49,680 Speaker 1: If you have the Amazon app on your phone, you 74 00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:52,480 Speaker 1: can simply love hearted and it will be automatically added 75 00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:55,359 Speaker 1: to your shopping list, which is where you can create 76 00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:59,120 Speaker 1: additional list for further organizational benefit. A bit of a 77 00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:02,359 Speaker 1: list aholic, it's kind of embarrassing to admit. Now. A 78 00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:04,600 Speaker 1: few things that are already on my wish list are 79 00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:08,000 Speaker 1: the birthday presents for my kids, a new air fryer 80 00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:11,880 Speaker 1: airfire recently died, and a couple of makeup tools that 81 00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:14,080 Speaker 1: were recommended to me by the Channel nine heir and 82 00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:20,039 Speaker 1: makeup crew who are seriously magicians and incredibly money savvy. 83 00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:22,880 Speaker 1: I also like to build my wish list using the 84 00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:26,800 Speaker 1: Amazon Lens, so within the Amazon App there is actually 85 00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:30,159 Speaker 1: an image of a camera. If I see something of interest, 86 00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:32,400 Speaker 1: whether it be say like in the flesh in a 87 00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:36,760 Speaker 1: store or on someone or even online, this really nifty 88 00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:39,680 Speaker 1: little tool can not only help me find that item 89 00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:43,520 Speaker 1: on the Amazon site, but it takes it one step further. 90 00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:47,520 Speaker 1: It can also show me alternatives at different price points. 91 00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:49,440 Speaker 1: And this then helps make sure that I'm making an 92 00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:53,520 Speaker 1: informed decision before I actually go and buy. So the 93 00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:55,839 Speaker 1: next thing I love to do to prep for Prime 94 00:05:55,920 --> 00:06:00,000 Speaker 1: Day is to set alerts. I use the Amazon App 95 00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:02,599 Speaker 1: to turn on deal alerts for my shopping list or 96 00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:05,800 Speaker 1: my other wish list items. So this saves me so 97 00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:09,719 Speaker 1: much time scrolling endlessly or getting distracted by other things, 98 00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:12,960 Speaker 1: which to be honest, I think we're all really guilty of. 99 00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:15,839 Speaker 1: So when I'm notified, I can decide if it is 100 00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:18,159 Speaker 1: the right time for me to purchase that particular item 101 00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:20,640 Speaker 1: or not. And even if I don't actually go ahead 102 00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:24,360 Speaker 1: and purchase that particular item for whatever reason, I actually 103 00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:26,360 Speaker 1: really like that I'm informed and I'm in the know 104 00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:29,560 Speaker 1: of a sudden opportunity to buy that item at a discount. 105 00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:32,320 Speaker 1: It keeps me in control. The next thing I love 106 00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:35,360 Speaker 1: to do to prep for Prime Day is use Alexa. 107 00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:38,080 Speaker 1: So if you've got an Alexa enabled device, you can 108 00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:41,520 Speaker 1: actually ask Alexa to start your Prime Day list or 109 00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:44,240 Speaker 1: ask what are the best deals out there now. This 110 00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:47,440 Speaker 1: is a brilliant, hands free way to stay on top 111 00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:51,400 Speaker 1: of your shopping list, especially when you're multitasking throughout the day, 112 00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:53,800 Speaker 1: which is something I think a lot of young families 113 00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:56,320 Speaker 1: can really relate to. Another great thing that I love 114 00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:58,760 Speaker 1: to do in the prep for Prime Day is to 115 00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:02,719 Speaker 1: bulk by this Staples. So I love to take advantage 116 00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:05,159 Speaker 1: of the Subscribe and Save where we'll stock up on 117 00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:13,040 Speaker 1: those essentials like the laundry detergent, dry dog food, toilet paper, snacks. 118 00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:15,720 Speaker 1: Those things I know that I'm going to use are 119 00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:19,960 Speaker 1: non perishable and are actually cheaper than the major supermarkets. 120 00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:24,520 Speaker 1: This has honestly helped me save so much money over 121 00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:28,560 Speaker 1: the years, particularly dry dog food, which is really heavy 122 00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:33,080 Speaker 1: to carry and can be really expensive. But just remember 123 00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:35,280 Speaker 1: with Subscribe and Save, you need to make sure that 124 00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:39,120 Speaker 1: you check your usage rate and the frequency settings. The 125 00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:41,720 Speaker 1: last thing you want to do is overstock on items 126 00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:43,920 Speaker 1: that you don't actually use up as quickly as you 127 00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:47,840 Speaker 1: originally thought. Great if it's something you genuinely need in multiples, 128 00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:50,520 Speaker 1: but don't let the deal talk you into buying more 129 00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:53,920 Speaker 1: than you're actually going to use. Otherwise, of course, that 130 00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:56,600 Speaker 1: would be a waste of money. A great tip is 131 00:07:56,600 --> 00:08:02,080 Speaker 1: also to explore Today's deals and up the outlet. So 132 00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:05,040 Speaker 1: within the Amazon app, make sure that you check out 133 00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:11,480 Speaker 1: the Today's Deals section. It's updated constantly with like special 134 00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:17,640 Speaker 1: flash sales, limited time offers. Also check out the Amazon Outlet. Yes, 135 00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:21,280 Speaker 1: it is available in Australia and it can be a 136 00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:28,400 Speaker 1: treasure trove of overstock and clearance items at incredible prices. Also, 137 00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:32,199 Speaker 1: there is a price tracking tool. So these are the 138 00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:36,040 Speaker 1: online tools that actually help you track the historical prices 139 00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:38,960 Speaker 1: of items sold on Amazon, which can give you a 140 00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:41,760 Speaker 1: really good sense of whether a deal is truly a 141 00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:44,120 Speaker 1: great deal or not. It's just one more way to 142 00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:48,520 Speaker 1: help you shop smart. Next is to look for coupons. Now, 143 00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:52,400 Speaker 1: I actually didn't realize this, but some items actually have 144 00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:57,080 Speaker 1: clickable coupons on the product page that are then applied 145 00:08:57,320 --> 00:08:59,960 Speaker 1: when you go to check out, so these can actually 146 00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:03,679 Speaker 1: offer you extra savings on top of the sale prices. 147 00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:07,200 Speaker 1: And then of course there is the combining with cash 148 00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:11,360 Speaker 1: back and points. This is really clever. So you can 149 00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:14,959 Speaker 1: use cash back platforms like cash Rewards or shop Back 150 00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:18,640 Speaker 1: when shopping on Amazon and pay with a points earning 151 00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:23,120 Speaker 1: credit card, but only if you are managing your cash 152 00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:27,280 Speaker 1: flow responsibly and paying off your credit card in full 153 00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:30,319 Speaker 1: each month when it is due. But this way you're 154 00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:35,040 Speaker 1: actually really starting to stack those savings. With nearly three 155 00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:40,280 Speaker 1: quarters of Australians open to doing their Christmas shopping in July, 156 00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:45,280 Speaker 1: I am one hundred percent on board with this. If 157 00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:48,640 Speaker 1: the deals on Amazon Prime Day are good and the 158 00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:52,080 Speaker 1: item is on my plan or my list, you better 159 00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:54,360 Speaker 1: believe I'm going to grab it early and save from 160 00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:58,200 Speaker 1: the December chaos when I'm even more time poor. But 161 00:09:58,280 --> 00:09:59,760 Speaker 1: if you're going to do this, just make sure that 162 00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:01,160 Speaker 1: you have I have a list of the people that 163 00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:04,720 Speaker 1: you need to buy gifts for, and then finally watch 164 00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:08,240 Speaker 1: big ticket items. I like to track the prices on 165 00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:13,520 Speaker 1: those higher value items sometimes for months. Yes, I'm a 166 00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:15,800 Speaker 1: shopping nerd.

So listen up. Number one is 177 00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:52,720 Speaker 1: to know your budget before you log on and start shopping. 178 00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:55,120 Speaker 1: Take a couple of minutes to go and check your 179 00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:58,679 Speaker 1: savings accounts, what's the balance, where are you up? To 180 00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:02,120 Speaker 1: look at your up bills, even, go and reread your 181 00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:04,160 Speaker 1: financial goals for the year. I want to make sure 182 00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:07,199 Speaker 1: that you are shopping with a level head at all time, 183 00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:11,760 Speaker 1: sale season or not. Number two, stick to your needs, 184 00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:14,360 Speaker 1: not your wants, or at least make sure you can 185 00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:17,240 Speaker 1: actually distinguish between them. This is going to help you 186 00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:19,480 Speaker 1: slow down when it comes to your shopping and of 187 00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:23,680 Speaker 1: course ensure that you're making mindful purchases with zero regrets, 188 00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:29,959 Speaker 1: my friends, and maximum savings. Number three, don't just buy 189 00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:34,760 Speaker 1: because it's cheap, buy it because you actually really need it. 190 00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:38,600 Speaker 1: My shopping manto has always been only buy what you love, value, use, 191 00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:41,960 Speaker 1: and appreciate. So consider for a moment, where is this 192 00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:44,600 Speaker 1: item going to be stored in your home if you 193 00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:47,560 Speaker 1: actually have the space, or if you do go and 194 00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:50,040 Speaker 1: buy this item, are you going to be prepared to 195 00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:53,760 Speaker 1: go without something else? This really helps put those impulse 196 00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:57,600 Speaker 1: temptations back into perspective, so you're making a great decision 197 00:11:57,760 --> 00:12:02,240 Speaker 1: with your money. Number four, use your tax return wisely. 198 00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:04,880 Speaker 1: If you've been waiting to make a purchase with your 199 00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:08,120 Speaker 1: tax refund, yes, of course this could be the perfect 200 00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:12,800 Speaker 1: time for you. However, there is one major caveat here. 201 00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:15,880 Speaker 1: Promise me that you'll use the savings that you bang 202 00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:20,839 Speaker 1: from Amazon Prime to put towards your own financial goals 203 00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:26,640 Speaker 1: such as emergency money, mortgages, home savings, maybe even kickstarting 204 00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:31,079 Speaker 1: your own investment portfolio. Just make sure these Prime savings 205 00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:34,400 Speaker 1: really do count and they work for you and your 206 00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:39,320 Speaker 1: financial goals and dreams. And then, finally, number five, think 207 00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:43,760 Speaker 1: smart long term savings slow cookers that allow you to 208 00:12:43,880 --> 00:12:47,520 Speaker 1: cook in bulk, use less energy and actually work well 209 00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:50,360 Speaker 1: with cheaper cuts of meat. Then, of course there's home 210 00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:54,040 Speaker 1: exercise equipment that can help cut down expensive gym memberships. 211 00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:56,920 Speaker 1: I love anti aging gadgets that help me make the 212 00:12:56,960 --> 00:12:59,880 Speaker 1: most of my serums and also mean the need for 213 00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:04,040 Speaker 1: less expensive in sell on treatment sometimes or even great 214 00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:07,480 Speaker 1: bio hacking tools that give you greater energy, deeper quality 215 00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:12,880 Speaker 1: sleep and even longevity.

Also, you may not actually 224 00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:49,280 Speaker 1: know this, but there are more than fourteen thousand Australian 225 00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:53,920 Speaker 1: businesses that sell through Amazon, so in many cases you're 226 00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:58,400 Speaker 1: actually supporting local business as well, which I absolutely love 227 00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:01,880 Speaker 1: and is something very close to my So to wrap 228 00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:05,440 Speaker 1: up today's episode, Prime Day does not need to be 229 00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:09,920 Speaker 1: about spending more.
