5 Incredible Amazon Prime Deals for May 2023

A lot of people are trying to save money these days. If you're one of them, you may be banning all non-essential purchases until your savings account starts to look more robust.

But if you're doing well enough financially, and you have some breathing room with money, then now's a pretty good time to do some shopping on Amazon. Although Amazon commonly offers competitive prices on the items it sells, right now, it has a host of products available at a discount. So if any of these items check off a particular need or want of yours, now's the time to scoop them up.

1. Fitbit Luxe Fitness and Wellness Tracker

When the weather warms up, people tend to want to get outdoors. If you're looking to start tracking your steps, this Fitbit model should do the trick. And right now, it's being offered for just $89.95 on Amazon, which is 31% off its normal price of $129.95. You even get your choice of band color -- black, white, or pink.

2. Lasko Oscillating Tower Fan

The cost of running your air conditioning system at full blast this summer might end up being prohibitive. A more cost-effective alternative could be to invest in a fan that helps cool your space. This Lasko floor fan comes with a remote so you can control the flow of air as you see fit. It also includes a built-in timer so your fan will automatically shut off after a period of time. Right now, it's marked down from $69.99 to $59.99.

3. VOTEPRETTY V-Neck Tie-Front Sundresses

The season of lighter clothing has pretty much arrived. If you're looking for a versatile dress to wear to a party, the beach, or dinner in town, it pays to check out this selection of VOTEPRETTY patterns and colors. You'll find a range of options for as low as $26.33.

4. Ninja SS151 TWISTi Blender DUO

Warm weather is apt to have your kids begging for smoothies, milkshakes, and other frozen concoctions. Right now, this Ninja model is marked down from $139.99 to $99.95. It has a 34-ounce capacity, so you can make your creations in batches and freeze some for later.

5. DeerRun Walking Pad, 2 in 1 Under Desk Treadmill

Don't have room for a full-sized treadmill at home? Consider this scaled-down model instead. As the name implies, it can fit under your stand-up desk so you can get your exercise on while attending mandatory meetings. Right now, it's available for an astounding 50% off for a final price of $199.99. Do keep in mind, though, that this model has a maximum speed of 3.8 miles per hour. If you're looking for a treadmill to run on, this probably isn't it.

If you're already trying to pay down some credit cards, then you probably don't want to add to your balances by purchasing items that aren't essential. And chances are, most of these items aren't absolute necessities (though you can argue that a fan is a must for the summer months). But if money isn't tight for you, then you might as well take advantage of your Prime membership and add some of these items to your shopping cart.
