I myself have bought a number of things over the past 24 hours in the Prime Day in October sale, including an air fryer, some dishwasher tablets, and a new keyboard cover for myiPad, and I’m feeling pretty darn pleased with myself.
However, after spending the best part of the last 28 hours deal hunting here at T3.com to help bring good deals to the attention of our readers, I’ve been reminded that there areabsolutelypotential buyer’s remorse traps that the unwary could fall into if they lose their head while browsing the event.
Here are the three biggest things I recommend deal hunters look out for in the Prime Day in October sale.
1. Beware a “deal” not being the best deal

3. Shop end of life but with your eyes open
My conclusion is clear – shopping smart has never been more important
What I’m trying to say in this piece is that there is extra pressure on a lot of people this year, myself absolutely included, to shop smart, as the global economic downturn is leaving people with less disposable income. And bagging deals and getting gifts sorted early is absolutely a great way to help mitigate that.
However, with that added pressure comes added risk of making bad, snap-shot decisions, so make sure you don’t lose your head and shop smart this Prime Day in October sale, as well through the Black Friday and Christmas sales. I’m being very strict with myself in terms of doing my research and making informed, careful decisions when deal hunting, and I would recommend others do the same.
Have a clear idea of what you want to shop for in mind when entering the sale and only then pick up deals that fulfill your criteria and meet your approval in terms of review scores, quality and price.
T3.com is currently running aPrime Day in October live blog, where we are only recommending quality products and genuine deals, so if you’re looking for a starting point for a deal-hunting expedition, that’s a useful place to start.
