As we patiently await more details on Prime Day 2024, we can't help but keep our eyes peeled for any deals that pop up at Amazon in the meantime. There are always deals to be found; you just need to sort through all the noise to find them.
Lucky for you, we found a few diamonds in the rough. Here are the best Amazon deals of the day for May 2. And be sure to check out our picks from April 30 and May 1 if you missed them — many of those are still live as well.
Our top pick
A little bit fun and a little bit educational, the Echo Dot Kids (5th gen) allows kiddos to get in on the smart home perks. They can ask Alexa to read bedtime stories, help them with homework, play music, and more. Plus, it comes with a free year of Amazon Kids+, a digital subscription that lets kids access kid-friendly audiobooks, educational Alexa skills, interactive games, and more. It's also packed with parental controls, like only giving kid-friendly responses to questions, filtering explicit content, and only allowing calls to specific contacts. Not only is the outer appearance of an owl or dragon more fun than the adult version, but the inside is too: your kid can change Alexa's voice to suit that character. As of May 2, it's on sale for just $32.99 — that's 45% off the usual $59.99. While that's still $5 away from its all-time low price, it's the biggest discount we've seen so far this year.
One of our favorite Bluetooth trackers, the Tile Mate can slide into or attach to basically anything you'd rather not lose — your phone, keys, wallet, suitcase, etc. We found in our testing that it reliably worked for both iOS and Android devices and excelled as a Bluetooth item finder. You can opt into a paid Tile Premium subscription to get extra features, like the ability to get notifications when you leave an item behind. Plus, perhaps the best part, you can qualify for item reimbursement if you aren't able to recover your lost items. Snag one to try it for yourself while it's on sale for only $17.49 at Amazon — that's 30% in savings and just $1 shy of its all-time low price.
Just released in the latter half of 2023 as part of the Nano series, the 22.5W USB-C power bank is on sale for a new all-time low at Amazon. As of May 2, if you clip the on-page coupon, the price drops down to just $15.99 from $29.99, saving you $14 or about 47%. About the size of a large tube of lipstick, this power bank packs a 5,000mAH capacity and features a foldable, built-in USB-C port that can easily plug into the base of USB-C smartphones and tablets (iPhone 15, Samsung S22 and S23 series, iPad Pro, iPad Air, etc.). It offers a 22.5W output with dual USB-C power delivery fast charging and for added convenience, it can recharge itself at 18W from the same USB-C connector.
If you're looking for a reliable tablet for basic tasks like scrolling through recipes or streaming movies on flights, the second-generation Lenovo Tab P11 has you covered. The 11.5-inch IPS LCD touch display offers 1080p resolution and 120Hz refresh rate. It features a split-screen mode and reading mode so you can double down on your tasks. Plus, with 10 hours of battery life, you can binge-watch without needing an outlet. This bundle comes with the Precision Pen 2 and a keyboard, making it the full package for working or playing on the go. And as of May 2, it's on sale for just $254.99 instead of $369.99 — that's 31% in savings.
