Members of the Latinx community often compete about many things, among them who’s the thriftiest shopper. Bragging about saving money is definitely a weird flex, but unlike being a metiche, it’s not a toxic trait. And if you’ve ever eavesdropped on small talk between two señoras (you have), you know that the compulsory response when complimented on a blusa or cartera is how much of a steal it was, even if it wasn’t. So here’s the deal: Prime Day is Amazon’s 48 hours of incredible savings and epic deals and just like abuelos prepares their folio of coupons leading up to shopping trips, you can begin browsing Latinx-owned brands that are in on the deals.

This year, Prime Day is on June 21 and 22 and as a member of Amazon Prime, you’ll have exclusive access to discounts in millions of items under all categories. If you’re not an Amazon Prime member, no stress! You can visit amazon.com/pruebaprimegratis to sign up for your free 30-day trial and start being friends with your (Amazon Prime) benefits, some of which include thousands of movies and shows in English and español Prime Video, Amazon Music, free two-day shipping and more. You can also use some help from Alexa to find the best offers, and if you prefer to get that help in Spanish, only say “Alexa, Speak Spanish” so you can find the best deals and get to know more about how to support small by saying “Alexa , ¿cómo puedo apoyar a las pequeñas empresas este Prime Day?”
