Amazon Prime Day is ending today, and shoppers are racing to grab the biggest discounts before the clock runs out. This year, the four-day sale runs until Friday, June 26 at 11:59 p.m. PT. What makes this sale particularly interesting is that Amazon continued to drop new discounts even on the very last day. Some products are now cheaper than they were at the start of the event. For early birds who already purchased these items, it may feel unfair. But for last-minute shoppers, it's a golden opportunity to snag even better deals.
Over the years, Prime Day has evolved from a one-day event into a multi-day shopping extravaganza. Retail strategists note that dynamic pricing during sales events is common, as companies adjust prices based on inventory and demand. Amazon often reserves its deepest discounts for the final hours to clear remaining stock and maximize revenue. This year's pattern is no exception, with several high-demand items seeing price cuts only on the final day.
Here are the best last-minute deals on products that dropped in price on the last day of the sale.
Nespresso Vertuo Next Coffee and Espresso Maker
Amazon has discounted the entire line of Nespresso appliances for Prime Day, including deals on Nespresso pods. Previously on sale for $99, this popular countertop coffee machine was the subject of a Friday lightning deal that dropped the price by an additional $10, bringing it to $89. That is a $90 savings off the original $179 retail price. The Vertuo Next is a versatile machine that brews both coffee and espresso using Nespresso's proprietary centrifusion technology. It reads the barcode on each capsule to adjust brewing parameters, ensuring optimal flavor and crema. This model is also made with 54% recycled plastic, appealing to eco-conscious consumers. Early buyers who paid $99 may feel a twinge of regret, but for those willing to wait, the last-minute discount is a win.
LG C5 OLED 65-Inch TV
Who doesn't love a big TV? The LG C5 OLED 65-Inch display offers stunning color contrast and deep blacks, making movies, TV shows, and video games look incredible. It features a 144Hz refresh rate, which keeps gameplay smooth for gamers. This award-winning OLED TV was a trending product throughout Prime Day, and on the final day, Amazon added a bonus $100 discount, dropping the price to $1,099.99 – a $297 savings from the original $1,396.99. OLED technology uses self-lit pixels to achieve perfect black levels and vibrant colors, outclassing traditional LED TVs. The C5 series also supports HDMI 2.1, variable refresh rate, and auto low-latency mode, making it a top choice for next-gen consoles. This last-minute price cut solidifies its reputation as the best TV deal of the event.
Amazon Echo Spot Smart Alarm Clock
The Amazon Echo Spot serves as a smart alarm clock that displays weather, reminders, and time. It includes a built-in eero mesh WiFi extender, doubling your internet coverage, and also functions as an Alexa smart speaker. Originally $79.99, it dropped to $39.99 during Prime Day, and on the final day, it saw an additional $5 reduction to $34.99 (though the listed deal still shows $39.99 – the $5 less applies to the earlier sale price). The Echo Spot's compact design fits perfectly on a nightstand, and its customizable clock faces let you personalize the display. For those who struggle to wake up, the Echo Spot can gradually increase the brightness and play your favorite music or news. The integration of eero is particularly useful for households with dead zones, as it extends WiFi without needing a separate extender.
More Amazon Echo Show Device Deals
The Amazon Echo Show 5 features a 5.5-inch display for streaming music, shows, and podcasts. It can display photos when idle and control smart home devices like lights and thermostats. During Prime Day, it was priced at $49.99 (down from $89.99), and on the last day, it dropped another $10 to $39.99. Similarly, the Amazon Echo Dot – a compact smart speaker – saw a $5 reduction from its Prime Day price of $29.99 to $24.99 (original $49.99). The Echo Dot Kids edition also got a $5 cut, now $24.99 from $29.99 (original $59.99). These devices are staples in Amazon's ecosystem, allowing users to stream music from services like Amazon Music, Apple Music, and Spotify, set timers, ask questions, and control other smart devices. The Echo Dot Kids includes a sleep studio to help children relax and access to thousands of kid-friendly audiobooks. For families looking to build a smart home, these last-minute discounts are hard to ignore.
Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Select Coupon Deal
This streaming stick offers 4K resolution for an enhanced viewing experience across apps like Netflix, Hulu, Disney+, and more. On the final day of Prime Day, Amazon resurrected a classic coupon deal. Previously on sale for $14.99, Prime members can now use the on-page coupon or promo code FTVSELECT to save $30, bringing the price to just $9.99 (original $39.99). The Fire TV Stick 4K Select supports Dolby Vision, HDR10+, and Dolby Atmos audio, delivering a premium cinematic experience. It also includes an Alexa voice remote for hands-free control. For cord-cutters, this is one of the most affordable ways to upgrade a TV to a smart TV. The last-minute coupon deal likely aims to clear inventory before Prime Day ends.
Honorable Mention: Ninja Slushi at Walmart
Although this deal is not on Amazon, other retailers are running competing sales during Prime Day. The Ninja Slushi frozen drink maker was a hot item on Amazon, originally priced at $199.99 but quickly selling out. Walmart then offered it for $179.99 – $20 less than Amazon's deal and $220 off the original $399.99. The Ninja Slushi can whip up frozen margaritas, slushies, and other icy drinks in minutes. Mashable has tested this appliance and found it perfect for summer parties. This price drop exemplifies how cross-retailer competition benefits consumers. Shoppers who missed Amazon's deal can still grab a bargain at Walmart.
Prime Day is known for its flash sales and lightning deals, but the final day often brings surprises. Retail analysts point out that companies use last-minute price cuts to move inventory and generate buzz on social media. For consumers, the key is to stay alert and compare prices across platforms. While early purchases ensure availability, holding out until the final hours can yield greater savings – albeit with the risk of items selling out. This year, the strategy paid off for those who waited on the Nespresso Vertuo Next, LG C5 OLED TV, Echo Spot, Echo Show 5, Echo Dot, Echo Dot Kids, and Fire TV Stick 4K Select.
As Amazon Prime Day 2026 wraps up, the deals will expire at 11:59 p.m. PT on June 26. For anyone still on the fence, these last-minute discounts represent some of the best value of the entire event. Whether you need a new coffee maker, a TV upgrade, smart home devices, or a streaming stick, the final hours have delivered. The practice of dropping prices late in a sale may seem rude to early birds, but it is a time-honored tactic in the retail industry. Understanding this pattern can help savvy shoppers time their purchases for maximum savings in future sales.
