DIY experts know that the to-do list is never done.
There’s always a job on the go, whether it’s a full-blown room renovation or something as simple as fixing loose screws.
According to B&Q's The Way We Live Now report, more women are dusting off their toolboxes and taking on their DIY lists. Some 82 per cent of women surveyed said they felt more empowered to take on home improvement challenges thanks to watching how-tos and home transformations on social media.
The research also found about the same percentage of Gen Z men and women were confident in performing DIY tasks, 69 per cent to 73 per cent.
It’s heartening news that more people are signing up to the world of DIY. The thing is, all those tools don’t come cheap. That’s why when a sale reduces the big toys, it’s reason alone to sit up and pay attention.
What is Amazon Prime Day?
Amazon’s main sale is called Prime Day and has a typically July date with only Prime members able to take part.
Amazon opens the doors to its virtual warehouse, allowing bargain hunters to scoop deals over two days.
When is the official Amazon Prime Day in 2024?
The official date in under wraps for now, but going by past years it’s highly likely to be held in the second or third week of July. We’ll update you with the sale date news as soon as we catch wind.
How to take part in Amazon Prime Day
As we mentioned, Amazon Prime Day is an exclusive event for Prime members only. Luckily, you can get a 30-day trial if you haven’t signed up to try it out for size.
Prime membership is worth the £8.99pm cost (or £95 a year if you’d rather pay annually). There’s express delivery, freebies on Deliveroo, access to movies, TV and music plus gaming, books and so much more. Students get a sweeter deal at £4.49 per month or £47.49 per year.
What kind of deals were there last year?
Home improvement is a job that’s never really done - there’s always another job to add to the to-do list. Amazon’s past sales have included everything from deals on drills and other power tools to DIY kits, nuts and bolts and everything in between.
Are there any discounts available at Amazon now?
The sale has begun and deals are live, so there’s no time to waste
