Amazon offers so many discounts that it can be hard to find the best deals. That's why we've done the work for you, finding the top Amazon sales of the week so you can easily add them to your cart.

The Amazon Mid-Year sale, which ran from Monday, June 2 to Sunday, June 8, is now officially over. However, thanks to EOFY sales across the nation, Amazon remains competitive, continuing to offer discounts we saw during the Mid-Year sale. This includes big discounts on Amazon tech like the Echo devices and Fire TV Sticks, some of the best earbuds, air fryers, top tablets and more.

Most of these discounts are available to the general public, but you'll earn maximum savings by becoming a Prime member (if you aren't already). Subscribers also get free and expedited delivery on an array of eligible products, exclusive deals, early access to major sales, and included Amazon services such as Prime Video (one of the best streaming services), Prime Reading, and Prime Gaming.

You don't need to lock yourself into a long-term subscription, either. While Amazon Prime will set you back AU$9.99 a month (or AU$79 annually), you can try it with a 30-day free trial and can cancel anytime.

For a more in-depth look at what this subscription entails and whether it's worth it, refer to our guide on 'what is Amazon Prime in Australia'. Otherwise, explore the best Amazon deals available this week below.

Amazon Echo Pop
Amazon Echo Pop: was AU$79 now AU$49 at Amazon

Save AU$30

OK, to be upfront, we have seen the Echo Pop as low as AU$29, which handily beats the discount here. Still, it's the best discount since, and not a terrible deal for Amazon's simplest smart speaker, with a compact size that makes it perfect to slot into small spaces. With Alexa built in and ready to take on your commands, you’ll be listening to tunes and setting timers and alarms without having to whip out your phone.

Save AU$32.01

Already affordable, these wireless buds get a further 47% discount – matching the lowest price we've seen before. That's not bad considering we rate them 4.5 stars in our Earfun Air Pro 3 review, and they have active noise cancelling, premium aptX sound quality and 45 hours total play time.

Sony WF-C510
Sony WF-C510: was AU$108 now AU$73 at Amazon

Our current pick as the best budget earbuds (even at their original price), the Sony WF-C510 deliver a punchy, detailed sound complete with support for 360 Reality Audio spatial audio.

Colgate Blast Water Flosser
Colgate Blast Water Flosser: was AU$179.99 now AU$75 at Amazon

Logitech Lift
Logitech Lift: was AU$129.95 now AU$85 at Amazon

Save AU$44.95

This ergonomic vertical mouse is perfect for small hands and is set up just right to encourage better posture, thus reducing aches along the wrist, shoulder and shoulder blade.

Blink Outdoor 4: was AU$149 now AU$97 at Amazon

Save AU$52

New to the Australian market in late 2024, the Blink Outdoor 4 is an affordable home security camera from Amazon with the ability to last up to two years off of two AA batteries. It comes with an easy to use app and fairly good camera quality via a 1080p lens, and can store video when paired with a Blink Sync module. At this price, it's an attractive home camera that you can place almost anywhere around your home. While not the lowest price we have seen (it hit AU$75 during Black Friday), this 35% isn't bad.

Philips Series 7000 all-in-one multigroomer (MG7950/15): was AU$159 now AU$97 at Amazon

Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 FE+ (128GB / Wi-Fi)
Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 FE+ (128GB / Wi-Fi): was AU$999 now AU$548 at Amazon

Save AU$451

This is one of Samsung's affordability-oriented performance tablets, existing between the company's budget Tab A family and powerful Tab S range. There's a newer model on sale, but given there isn't a big performance gap between the devices, this is likely the better value pick.

Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 (128GB, Wi-Fi)
Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 (128GB, Wi-Fi): was AU$1,299 now AU$775 at Amazon

Save AU$510

The Galaxy Tab S10 series might be newer and more powerful, but there's nothing wrong with the Tab S9 – and with such a big discount, it's all the more attractive. The Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 ships with the S Pen, so you can do much more and, thanks to the powerful chipset, multitasking is a breeze. For a very short time during the sale, this excellent tablet had an equally excellent low price of AU$650. Click 'Apply $10 coupon' for the full saving.

Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds
Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds: was AU$449.95 now AU$298 at Amazon

Save AU$151.95

The QC Ultra Earbuds are class leaders on the noise-cancelling front and sound wonderful too. They are nicely made and offer Immersive Audio support alongside Bluetooth Multipoint and a 24-hour battery in total. They've been as cheap as AU$290 before, but this is still a fantastic price for what are arguably one of the best noise-cancelling in-ear buds on the market today.

Bose QuietComfort Ultra Headphones (Black)
Bose QuietComfort Ultra Headphones (Black): was AU$649 now AU$398 at Amazon

Save AU$251

The Bose QuietComfort Ultra are a stunning set of headphones and comfortably the best when it comes to active noise-cancellation. Their sound quality is nothing short of exquisite, and the ability to turn any song into a spatial audio one thanks to Immersive Mode earns it another gold star.

Bose QuietComfort Earbuds
Bose QuietComfort Earbuds: was AU$289.95 now AU$192.99 at Amazon

Save AU$96.96

These are an older model so don't expect the best of Bose from these, but they're still pretty darn good. Employing best-in-class noise cancellation that was available at the time of launch, they're comfortable and offer a secure fit, solid battery life and a feature-packed app. The Bose QuietComfort Earbuds are nothing short of exemplary for this price point.

Bose QuietComfort SC
Bose QuietComfort SC: was AU$499.95 now AU$298.99 at Amazon

Save AU$200.96

Nearly as good as the premium QuietComfort Ultra, the SC misses out on the Immersive Audio mode. There'll also be a little difference in sound quality as they process sound differently, but it's still excellent, as is the ANC performance. You'll also get a soft case for this foldable headphone. While we often see the QuietComfort SC discounted to this price, and it's been cheaper before, this is still a solid deal.

JBL Tour Pro 3 Earbuds (Black)
JBL Tour Pro 3 Earbuds (Black): was AU$399 now AU$279 at Amazon

Save AU$120

This feature-packed pair of earbuds doesn't normally come cheap, so it's good to see 30% shaved off the price that's now equal to the lowest we have seen before. Featuring a handy touchscreen on the case that displays battery life, brilliant head-tracked spatial audio, and a competitive 55 hours of battery life (when recharged with the case), you'll want to pick these up if you've been looking for an AirPods Pro or Galaxy Buds Pro alternative.

Google Pixel Buds Pro 2 (Hazel)
Google Pixel Buds Pro 2 (Hazel): was AU$379 now AU$224.29 at Amazon

Save AU$154.71

Samsung Galaxy Buds3 Pro
Samsung Galaxy Buds3 Pro: was AU$399 now AU$235.99 at Amazon

Save AU$163.01

The Galaxy Buds3 Pro are Samsung's flagship earbuds, and they come with exceptional noise cancelling, brilliant audio quality and a long-lasting battery life. We awarded the earbuds four stars in our Samsung Galaxy Buds3 Pro review, owing to the aforementioned features, though noted a high base price. Thankfully there's a discount.

Samsung Galaxy Buds 3 (white)
Samsung Galaxy Buds 3 (white): was AU$299 now AU$136.89 at Amazon

Save AU$162.11

Samsung's newly released premium earbuds, the Galaxy Buds 3, aren't the most powerful in-ear headphones that the brand offers (that would be the Buds 3 Pros) but they're still very much worth considering, especially for their strong noise cancellation, long battery life and live translation smarts when paired with a compatible Galaxy phone. Or grab them in Silver for AU$152.

Bose SoundLink Flex (2nd Gen)
Bose SoundLink Flex (2nd Gen): was AU$249.95 now AU$171 at Amazon

Save AU$78.95

Clean, detailed sound, full protection against dust and water and all packaged in a gorgeous body, the Bose SoundLink Flex is a Bluetooth speaker you'll want to take with you everywhere you go.

Save AU$55.95 with coupon

A superb price here on the JBL Flip 6, one of the best Bluetooth speakers. It serves up everything you could need from a portable speaker, namely a fun, engaging sound, up to 12 hours of battery life and the ability to daisy chain with up to 100 other Flip 6 speakers!

LG B5 OLED TV (48-inch): was AU$1,999 now AU$1,457.99 at Amazon

Save AU$541.01

The B5 is LG's entry-level model, but don't think it's not a capable performer, because it's still an excellent screen. And, in this 48-inch guise, coupled with its wealth of gaming support, it makes for a fantastic addition to a smaller room or as a gaming TV.

Bose Smart Ultra soundbar
Bose Smart Ultra soundbar: was AU$1,499 now AU$899.95 at Amazon

Samsung Galaxy Watch 7 (44mm, Bluetooth, Silver): was AU$599 now AU$397 at Amazon

While we have seen it a little cheaper before, this smartwatch offers a brilliant tough design, excellent GPS tracking, useful training tools and an epic battery life, we proudly handed this watch an Editor's Choice seal of approval in our Garmin Instinct 2 review. If you're OK with the black colour scheme and standard (45mm) size, this is one of the better Garmin smartwatch deals going.

Save AU$50

It might be getting long in the tooth, but it's arguably one of the best pointers you can buy. While not as cheap as its previous AU$104 price drop, this 30% discount is still worth considering. It has a long battery life, and Logitech says you should get up to 70 days of charge out of it. The mouse has an 8,000 DPI sensor too, which allows you to use it on lots of surfaces, including glass.

Save AU$1,049

This micro four thirds camera is a real marvel. We were so impressed with it that it scored 4.5 stars in our OM System OM-1 Mark II review. It's image quality is par excellence but its standout features are its superb stabilisation and the built-in graduated ND filters. It's a serious little camera for the serious photographer and is now at the cheapest it's been all week.

DJI Osmo Action 4 (Standard Combo)
DJI Osmo Action 4 (Standard Combo): was AU$469 now AU$329 at Amazon

Save AU$140

Plus it's cheaper than Boxing Day, and only AU$4 more than the lowest we have seen on Amazon.

DJI Mini 3 (RC)
DJI Mini 3 (RC): was AU$939 now AU$748 at Amazon

Even at full price, it represents excellent value, offering a front screen that even a GoPro doesn't get you. Admittedly its image quality lacks against the big players, but we have it on good authority that it's reliable, easy to use and comes with plenty of accessories in the box.

 Dragon Age The Veilguard Deluxe Edition
Dragon Age The Veilguard Deluxe Edition: was AU$109.95 now AU$29 at Amazon

Save AU$80.95

This game has been well discounted since its release, which is a little strange as we fully expected it to be rather popular – but seems like it ain't selling too well. Still, if you didn't grab it for free on PS Plus earlier this year, this is a fantastic discount for the physical copy. It's a lovely, expansive RPG with plenty of action and yet approachable.

  Star Wars Outlaws
Star Wars Outlaws: was AU$109.95 now AU$40 at Amazon

Save AU$69.95

A big 64% saving on this sumptuous open world Star Wars game. It's a little divisive, but Ubisoft is continually shaving off at its rougher edges, and if you love a cheerful mix of low-stakes stealth and third-person shooting, there's no reason you won't love this. Outlaws only released in late August last year, so this is a bargain for a relatively new game.

Samsung Odyssey G51C 32-inch gaming monitor
Samsung Odyssey G51C 32-inch gaming monitor: was AU$599 now AU$378 at Amazon

Save AU$221

Samsung is a leader in the gaming monitor space, and its Odyssey G5 is known for being an accessible, low-cost 2K (2560 x 1440) resolution solution. This model is the 32-inch version, but the 27-inch variant is also discounted, down to AU$329 – but bigger is better, especially when there's only a AU$49 difference. Both displays come with 1ms response times, 165Hz refresh rates and AMD Freesync Premium Pro.

SteelSeries Arctis Nova 7 Wireless
SteelSeries Arctis Nova 7 Wireless: was AU$399 now AU$235.42 at Amazon

Save AU$163.58

Currently TechRadar’s favourite multi-platform headset, this model is brilliant for switching between PC and console effortlessly via its handy USB-C dongle. In our SteelSeries Arctis Nova 7 Wireless review, we applauded the headset for its neutral sound quality, long battery life, fast charging and customisation via the Sonar app. Our only major criticism was that it’s a little pricier than what we would have liked – not that you'd have to worry about this with such a saving.

Logitech G Pro X 2 Lightspeed Wireless
Logitech G Pro X 2 Lightspeed Wireless: was AU$449.95 now AU$299 at Amazon

Save AU$30

Admittedly this isn't a fantastic deal but this is an Amazon sale, so it would be remiss of us to not include the unique Echo Spot.

Dyson Gen5detect Absolute: was AU$1,549 now AU$949.99 at Amazon

Dyson V8 Absolute: was AU$799 now AU$428.99 at Amazon

Save AU$370.01

For a bit over half off the RRP, this is arguably one of the cheapest Dyson cordless vacuum cleaners to be had. Sure, it's an older model that will only get you up to 40 minutes of fade-free runtime, but it's an updated V8 motor that can clean most small spaces. Alongside the main Digital Motor, you'll also get the Hair Screw Tool and two other common attachments, making this the Absolute variant (not the base Origin model).

Grab the Dyson WashG1 now and you can get the Dyson V8 Absolute absolutely free! Yes, this bundle scores you a two Dysons for the price of one, which is a bargain in my books. Sure, you might think this is a strange bundle to sink your money into, but it will be fabulous if you have mixed flooring at home – the WashG1 for your hard floors and the V8 will take care of your carpets and rugs. If you have the space to store away two Dysons, this ain't a bad bundle at all.

Shopping tips

1. Become a Prime member

While it might cost you a monthly (or annual) fee to be a Prime member, it's the best way to maximise your savings, particularly if you think you're going to be shopping on the platform regularly. If you're not a Prime member yet, you can sign up now for a 30-day free trial and, if you do so just before a big sale and cancel the subscription before the trial ends, you get the full benefits without having to pay anything extra, albeit for a short period of time.

Benefits include free and fast shipping, exclusive and early access to select deals, plus free subscriptions to some of Amazon's other services like Prime Video, Prime Reading and Prime Gaming. Find out more about this subscription service in our guide to what is Amazon Prime.

2. Use Amazon coupons

We've got a dedicated page that lists a lot of Amazon coupon codes to help you save on your next shop, but there are always select items on the site that have a little check box that you can tick to bring the price down a little. These coupons can save you anywhere from 5% to 20% off a particular item, and occasionally there's a specific amount of money that gets deducted (e.g. AU$5 off a AU$20 portable power bank), so keep an eye out for them when shopping on Amazon.

Note that when you use these little boxes, the discounted price will only appear when you finally check out – not when the item is sitting in your virtual cart.

3. Track your cart

If you aren't in a hurry to buy something specific, you can always add it to your cart and click "save for later". Amazon has a handy functionality that automatically lets you know if an item in your cart has had a price change.

4. Set up alerts

If you don't want to keep logging into Amazon to check your cart, you can use a site called camelcamelcamel.com to see an item's price history. You just have to copy and paste the URL of the Amazon item you're interested in into Camelcamelcamel's search bar and voila, you get the price history represented by an easy-to-understand graph.

Monitoring this manually, though, can be annoying, so the folks behind this tracking site have created a handy browser plug-in that you can install to receive email alerts when a specific item gets a discount. This is particularly useful during Amazon's big sales if you know what you're after.

5. Use Amazon's Subscribe & Save program

If there are certain products you know you will buy regularly, particular pantry staples and toiletries, you can use the Subscribe & Save feature on Amazon. This option shows up as the default offer when click on items like laundry detergents, coffee pods, nail colour, baby-care items and more, and it's possible to save as much as 15%, with free shipping already available for Prime members.

6. Check Amazon's daily deals

Amazon has a dedicated hub that lists hundreds of offers, called Today's Deals. It sits right on top of the page and, while it looks a little daunting to browse, there are filters you can use to narrow down your search if you know what you're after.

If you happen to use an Echo smart device, you can also use a simple voice command to find out what the day's offers are by saying, "Alexa, what are my deals?"

7. Browse overstocked items in the Amazon Outlet store

Amazon also has a dedicated section called the Outlet Store that stocks clearance items going cheap. It also houses overstocked new items too, and these usually have some significant discounts. From electronics to homewares, the Outlet Store can save you a pretty penny, but note that some items may come in a damaged box. If so, there will be a note on the product listing page about its condition.

8. Shop during the big sales

If you're not in a rush to buy something, particularly an expensive item, consider waiting till a big sale comes knocking. By 'big', we mean Prime Day and Black Friday as these two sales are when we see the biggest discounts.

That said, there are usually a lot of good deals during Big Smile Sale and the Mid-Year Sale, so don't ignore those if you're keen on shopping through the year.

Amazon Big Smile Sale: FAQs

amazon prime membership free trial benefits prime day

What is the Amazon Big Smile sale?

While it's not as big as Amazon Prime Day or Amazon's offering during Black Friday, the Amazon Big Smile Sale is one of Amazon's major sales of the year. You can expect a massive range of discounts across the best headphones, stick vacuums, earbuds, cheap phones and more, but the main discounts will likely focus on Amazon-owned products like Kindle, Ring and Echo.

What days are the big Amazon sales?

Amazon has four exclusive sales throughout the year, while also taking part in the big general sales alongside Australia’s major retailers. These sales start in March (or early April) with the Big Smile Sale, while the Mid-Year sale is Amazon's alternative to Australian EOFY sales in June. Then there's Amazon Prime Day in July, which now occurs twice each year with Prime Day 2 – or Big Deal Days – landing in October.

Amazon is also one of the most significant retailers to shop with during the two biggest sales of the year – Black Friday and Boxing Day.

Does Amazon have an EOFY sale?

While Amazon doesn't take part in EOFY sales per se, the Amazon Mid-Year Sale lines up with the Australian End of Financial season.

What is Amazon's biggest sale?

While it's not an Amazon-exclusive sale, there's little doubt that Amazon's deal offerings during Black Friday are usually the best we see during the year. That being said, Amazon Prime Day and Amazon Big Deal Days are both worthy of circling on your calendar, although they’re usually reserved solely for Amazon Prime members.

What is the biggest sale in the world?

Between Boxing Day and Black Friday, it's hard to say which is the bigger global shopping event. While Boxing Day is an event for countries within the Commonwealth, and Boxing Day has an American origin, both are great times to pick up basically anything from any retailer across the globe.

However, it's possible neither Boxing Day nor Black Friday sales hold the crown of the world's biggest sale. That title might belong to Singles Day, held on November 11. A massive event in China, it has recently gained traction globally – and may increase in popularity in 2025.
