Amazon’s Mid-Year Sale for another year has ended. This week-long sale – which started on Saturday, June 1 and ended on Friday, June 7 – is the online retailer’s EOFY sale in all but name. 

Browse all current Amazon deals

And while the sale has officially ended, there are still some deals we think are worth highlighting.

The next time you'll be able to find some seriously great deals on Amazon is in July when the retailer hosts is annual Prime Day sale. This one's mostly for paying Prime members, with offers even better than what we're seeing now.

The Mid-Year Sale, though, is open to anyone keen to save a pretty penny and, if you use the item(s) for work, they become tax deductible too – so hold on to your receipts.

Samsung Galaxy A55 5G (128GB) | AU$699 AU$599

Samsung Galaxy A55 5G (128GB) | AU$699 AU$599 (save AU$100)

In our Samsung Galaxy A55 review, it wasn't just its stylish design that caught our eye. As well as being a pretty handset, the A55 also provides fantastic battery life and performance at this price range. Whether you're gaming, trying your hand at photography or watching movies, the Galaxy A55 will handle it all proficiently – and look dang good doing it. And while it was AU$41 cheaper during the sale itself, this AU$100 saving is still a decent offer.

Samsung Galaxy S9 FE (Wi-Fi, 128GB) | AU$749 AU$524

Samsung Galaxy S9 FE (Wi-Fi, 128GB) | AU$749 AU$524 (save AU$225)

Thanks to a generous 30% discount, Samsung's cheapest 'premium' 2023 tablet from the S family is now really good value. It packs a 10.9-inch screen, 13+ hours of battery life and even includes an S Pen stylus for writing and drawing. Available in Silver, Lavender and Grey colourways in the 128GB Wi-Fi option, there's also varying discounts for the entire Tab S9 FE family at present, too:

Wi-Fi, 256GB | AU$899 AU$627
5G, 128GB | AU$949 AU$664
5G, 256GB | AU$1,099 AU$797

Apple iPhone 13 (128GB) |AU$1,099AU$885

Apple iPhone 13 (128GB) | AU$1,099 AU$885 (save AU$214)

Arguably the best price we've seen on the base iPhone 13 model, but this rather rare 19% discount is only on the 128GB models in a few colourways. Sure, it's now two generations old, but the A15 Bionic chip is still holding strong, offering good performance. If you really want a new iPhone that doesn't cost top dollar, you can still grab this one for just AU$885.

Apple iPhone 15 Pro Max (256GB) | AU$2,199 AU$1,937

Apple iPhone 15 Pro Max (256GB) | AU$2,199 AU$1,937 (save AU$262)

Apple discounts on the brand's current crop of flagships are usually pretty rare, so 12% off the latest iPhone 15 Pro Max model isn't something to scoff at. Forged in titanium, this model features a 6.7-inch Super Retina XDR display, an A17 chip and powerful camera system, and a new customisable action button.

Lenovo Yoga Slim 7 (Gen 9; 14-inch) | Ultra 7 155U / 32GB / 1TB SSD | AU$2,199 AU$1,799

Lenovo Yoga Slim 7 (Gen 9; 14-inch) | Ultra 7 155U / 32GB / 1TB SSD | AU$2,199 AU$1,799 (save AU$40)

This is the latest just-released Yoga Slim 7, in a variant you can't buy direct from Lenovo. As a comparison, the same Slim 7 model with 16GB RAM and a 512GB HDD is AU$1,639 from Lenovo after a 30% discount – making this a very affordable way to get the top-spec variant. Oh, and it also has an excellent 1920 x 1200 OLED screen (non touch) with 400 nit brightness and 1005 DCI-P3 colour.

2022 Apple MacBook Air (13.6-inch) M2 / 8GB RAM / 256GB SSDAU$1,479.50AU$1,369

2022 Apple MacBook Air (13.6-inch) | M2 / 8GB RAM / 256GB SSD | AU$1,479.50 AU$1,369 (save AU$110.50)

Already listed at a price slightly lower than Apple's M2 Air RRP of AU$1,599, this is actually a AU$230 saving. That's about an average discount we usually see on MacBooks outside of a big sale, so if you aren't too fussed about the grunt from the M3 chip, the M2 chip is still powerful and worth considering when your budget doesn't extend too far.

Audio

Sennheiser Momentum 4 Wireless Special Edition | AU$624.95AU$385

Sennheiser Momentum 4 Wireless Special Edition | AU$624.95 AU$385 (save AU$239.95)

The Momentum 4 Wireless headphones comfortably hold their own amongst the best noise-cancelling headphones, owing to the fact they serve up a truly glorious sound that is realistically the best we’ve heard for the price. Their 60-hour battery life also has to be admired as rival pairs simply don’t come close. The huge AU$240 saving makes this a genuinely great deal and it makes the Momentum 4 Wireless even easier to recommend. 

Bose QuietComfort Ultra | AU$649AU$499

Bose QuietComfort Ultra | AU$649 AU$499 (save AU$150)

Amazon is matching its previous lowest price on Bose's latest set of flagship noise-cancelling headphones for its Mid-Year Sale, seeing the price of the Ultra over-ears drop to AU$499. As we expected ahead of their release, 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 is just another gold star for it. The discount applies to both the white and black pairs. 

You can also snag them for AU$2 less at Kogan 

Bose QuietComfort Ultra earbuds | AU$449.95AU$364

Bose QuietComfort Ultra earbuds | AU$449.95 AU$364 (save AU$85.95)

Previously dropping as low as AU$313 on Amazon, this discount might not seem as good, but they're hard to ignore given they employ best-in-class ANC alongside Bose's signature, warm sound. And, as with their over-ear sibling, they benefit from Immersive Audio technology, which introduces spatial audio and head-tracking, no matter your source device or music streaming service of choice. We do think there are better fitting pairs on the market, but this pair from Bose still ranks among the very best overall. This discount is on the black and white pairs. 

Bose Ultra Open |AU$449.95AU$382.46

Bose Ultra Open | AU$449.95 AU$382.46 (save AU$67.49)

In our Bose Ultra Open review, we say that this pair of interesting earbuds are a "great success" for the brand, offering great sound and low leakage. They're also comfortable and easy to wear, so if you're keen on trying a set of open-ear earbuds, take advantage of this 15% discount on Amazon.

Samsung Galaxy Buds2 Pro (Graphite) |AU$349AU$179

Samsung Galaxy Buds2 Pro (Graphite) | AU$349 AU$179 (save AU$167.74)

They're arguably the best buds that Samsung has made and are a match made in heaven if you're using one of the South Korean electronics giant's phones. They're lightweight and comfortable design, and also deliver fantastic sound quality, with active noise cancellation and 360º spatial audio. What's more, the Graphite colourway is down to its lowest price of under AU$183.

Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 |AU$399.95AU$315

Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3 | AU$399.95 AU$315 (save AU$84.95)

They might have been succeeded by the fourth generation Momentum buds and were over AU$131 just days ago, but these are still an excellent set even at just 21% off. For your money, you're getting a beautiful soundstage, IPX4-certified water resistance and up to 30 hours of playback in total from the buds and the charging case.

Apple AirPods Max (Sky Blue) | AU$899AU$714

Apple AirPods Max (Sky Blue) | AU$899 AU$714 (save AU$185)

Apple's most premium headphones have dropped as low as AU$698 in the past, but this 21% is still worth considering if you've been keen on a pair, although it's only the Blue colourway that's this cheap. The AirPods Max combine mode-controlled noise-cancellation, big 40mm drivers with a comfortable memory foam design. You also get a host of smart tech, like 3D Spatial Audio.

Jabra Elite 10 | AU$379 AU$228

Jabra Elite 10 | AU$379 AU$228 (save AU$151)

If you're looking for comfort and powerful audio without spending premium prices, this Jabra Elite 10 deal is the one for you. We thoroughly enjoyed our time with them in our Jabra Elite 10 review, but their comfort, Dolby Atmos sound and call quality really stood out. If you need a pair of earbuds that won't leave your ears aching after hours of wear, there are few better options, especially at this reduced price.

Jabra Elite 8 Active | AU$329 AU$198

Jabra Elite 8 Active | AU$329 AU$198 (save AU$131)

As good an option for a long shift  at the gym as they are for a long-distance flight, our Jabra Elite 8 Active review resulted in a near-perfect 4.5 star rating for a reason. We absolutely loved how comfortable they were, as well as their powerful sound and super durable build. At only AU$199, they're a steal.

Bose SoundLink Flex | AU$249.95AU$149

Bose SoundLink Flex | AU$249.95 AU$149 (save AU$100.95)

We've seen the Bose SoundLink Flex drop to AU$129 before, but this AU$100 discount is also a good offer if you have the little extra cash for a good Bluetooth speaker. You get 12 hours of playback from a single charge, a lightweight, compact and wholly portable body, and a big Bose sound that is among the best in this class. Control comes via the accompanying app, your voice or onboard physical buttons, too. Oh, and it's IP67 rated to protect against dust and water, and it can even float in water, making it the ideal addition to pool parties. The discount price here is for the black, white, cypress green, stone blue and chilled lilac colours. 

Sony PS-LX310BT |AU$399AU$269

Sony PS-LX310BT | AU$399 AU$269 (save AU$130)

If you're looking to dust off old records without spending a fortune, this fully automatic Sony turntable might be a good option. While we haven't tested it ourselves, our colleagues at What Hi-Fi? liked it so much, they awarded it 5 stars! They said it has "oodles of features, effortless usability and entertaining sound". 

Wearables

Apple Watch 9 (41mm, GPS) |AU$649from AU$537
Lowest price

Apple Watch 9 (41mm, GPS) | AU$649 from AU$537 (save up to AU$112)

While the price of the 45mm display size has gone up, the low price of the Midnight model in the 41mm chassis is still hanging around. So if you've been dithering, hurry as this offer is not going to last. We can hope that there will be a better discount come Prime Day, but considering this is a coveted Apple product, there are no guarantees.

2022 Apple Watch SE (40mm, GPS) |AU$399AU$348

2022 Apple Watch SE (40mm, GPS) | AU$399 AU$348 (save AU$51)

While the Apple Watch SE isn't as full-featured as the Apple Watch 8 or 9, it still packs a fast processor, plus great health and fitness features. And to find an Apple Watch that costs less than AU$350 is a win in our books, especially when it's only AU$2 more than its lowest Aussie price.

Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 (40mm) | AU$649 AU$454

Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 (40mm) | AU$649 AU$454 (save AU$195)

While we were a tad harsh in our Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 review, that was mostly due to a lack of iteration upon its predecessor but make no mistake, this is an excellent smartwatch that delivers incredible performance and efficiency in all areas. With awesome wellness features like a high heart-rate alert and fall detection, this watch shines as a partner to a Samsung Galaxy phone, but will still be an awesome addition to any Android user, even though the discounted price has increased by AU$50.

The bigger 44mm model is also available for just AU$487.

Garmin Forerunner 955 Solar | AU$1,099 AU$749

Garmin Forerunner 955 Solar | AU$1,099 AU$749 (save AU$350) 

While it might have been beaten out of our list of the best Garmin watches by newer models, this is still an excellent fitness smartwatch. In our Garmin Forerunner 955 Solar review back in 2022, we gave it a perfect five-star rating thanks to its mind-blowing 15-day battery and substantial arsenal of fitness features. With a daily readiness score, you'll know when it's time for a rest day and when you can go all-out, and the Garmin Forerunner 955 will be right there with you to make sure you're performing your best.

Garmin Vvoactive 4s smartwatch | AU$599 AU$299

Garmin Vívoactive 4s smartwatch | AU$599 AU$299 (save AU$300)

A stylish fitness smartwatch for less than AU$300? Yes please. In our Garmin Vívoactive 4 review, we absolutely loved the stack of fitness features it made available from your wrist, along with fantastic exercise and GPS tracking. The 4s has a smaller face that makes it perfect for slender wrists or those looking for a lower-profile smartwatch, and will still last up to seven days on a full charge. It's worth mentioning this watch is also available at Rebel and is AU$1 cheaper at JB Hi-Fi. If you want the latest and greatest, the Garmin Vívoactive 5 is also discounted.

Canon EOS R6 Mark II (body) |AU$4,499AU$3,389

Canon EOS R6 Mark II (body) | AU$4,499 AU$3,389 (save AU$1,110)

With more sensor resolution than its predecessor, the EOS R6 II is a better camera than the original model. Speed and precision like its more expensive EOS R5 sibling, top-notch performance for a lower price tag, the EOS R6 II makes for one heck of a mid-range snapper. If you'd like a 24MP sensor and the ability to blast frames off at 40fps, then this is the camera you want.

Canon EOS R7 + RF-S 18-150mm lens|AU$2,899AU$2,318

Canon EOS R7 + RF-S 18-150mm lens | AU$2,899 AU$2,318 (save AU$581)

You get a 32.5MP sensor, 4K/60p video capture (4K/30p oversampled from 7K), a max 30fps burst speed, and impressive AF performance for a good price. This bundle is good value especially as it throws in a versatile zoom lens for only a little more than the price of the body. There's also an additional AU$150 cashback offer from Canon you can claim via redemption.

This includes a rotating polarising filter in the front to reduce windshield glare and the inclusion of what3words geolocation services for pinpointing stricken vehicles within a 3m radius. It's worth every penny even at full price, and while it's previously had a whopping AU$226 discount, this AU$100 price drop is worth considering if you want a really good dash cam.

Instant Vortex Plus 5.7L air fryer | AU$269 AU$159.99  (save AU$109.01)

Need an air fryer that won't take up too much space but also feed the family? This 5.7L option might be what you're after. It has dropped to AU$125 previously, but this 41% discount is still quite decent. There are four cooking presets to help you get started with experimenting with healthier meal options and, importantly, the capacity is enough to feed a small family.

Philips Essential Airfyer XL 3000 Series (HD9270/21) | AU$299 AU$189 (save AU$110)

There are so many different air fryers, even from just the one brand, that it can be hard to make a choice. This particular model stands apart from the crowd by promising better airflow – and thus heat distribution – to ensure your food cooks uniformly, with juicy insides and crispy outsides. With 7 presets and 14 functions, this is a heck of an investment, although this isn't the cheapest price we've seen (that was AU$169).

Instant Pot Duo | AU$269AU$169

Instant Pot Duo | AU$269 AU$169 (save AU$100)

We've seen this multi-cooker drop to AU$139 previously, but this still a decent saving on the popular and highly-rated Instant Pot Duo.

Ecovacs Deebot X1 Omni (white) | AU$2,499 AU$1,599 (save AU$900)

Amazon was offering a massive saving on the Ecovacs Deebot X1 Omni – over AU$1,200 off in fact. But if you missed out on that but are still keen on a robovac that will vacuum, mop, empty its dustbin and clean out its mop water, then there's still AU$900 to be saved. It's not great value at this discount, but it's still a good robot vacuum cleaner that automates floor cleaning remarkably well.

Miscellaneous tech

Apple AirTag (4 pk) | AU$165AU$147

Apple AirTag (4 pk) | AU$165 AU$147 (save AU$18)

It's only a 11% discount but it's worth considering if you need to stock up on some of Apple's popular Bluetooth trackers. Buying the 4-pack makes each one better value, bringing the price of an individual Bluetooth tracker down to just under AU$37 a pop compared to the usual AU$49.

Samsung Galaxy SmartTag2 (1 Pack) | AU$55 AU$39

Samsung Galaxy SmartTag2 (1 Pack) | AU$55 AU$39 (save $16)

Samsung's alternative to Apple's AirTag was redesigned in 2023 and has been reasonably well received, making it a good Bluetooth tracker for non-Apple user. It'll let you keep tabs on the location of whatever you attach it to and, critically, it works with Android. It costs a little more than a single AirTag at full price but this discount is easy to recommend.

Belkin BoostCharge 20K USB-C PD power bank |AU$99.95AU$79.95

Belkin BoostCharge 20K USB-C PD power bank | AU$99.95 AU$79.95 (save AU$20)

If you keep running out of juice on your phone or tablet while on the move, grab yourself a portable power bank like this one. A 20,000mAh capacity translates to about 77 additional hours of iPhone usage or up to 20 hours for a MacBook. This power bank features a 18W USB-C port and a 12W USB-A port, so it should be able to top up devices quite quickly. And admittedly there are cheaper power banks available, but if you'd like something from a known brand, this might be worth considering.

How to save money when shopping on Amazon

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 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 of 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 Deal. It sits right on top of the any Amazon 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 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.
