5 Prime Day Deals Refuse to Die After Amazon's Sale

Amazon Prime Day ended on June 26, but the real post-sale test is now underway: which discounts survived because they’re still good, and which ones are just leftovers with weaker math?

The strongest Prime Day deals still live span a rugged Garmin Fenix 8 Pro, the sold-out-at-Amazon Ninja Slushi, a discounted Walmart+ membership, Kasa smart plugs, and a Bose portable speaker, according to ZDNet. ZDNet says Amazon’s sale ended June 26, while competitor events from Best Buy, Walmart, and others wrapped shortly after.

“there's still plenty of deals hanging around, and even a few really worth writing about.”

That’s the useful tension. The sale clock is gone, but several cuts are still live. The prescription is simple: move faster than usual, but don’t buy blindly. Confirm the final price, retailer, stock status, and shipping timing before checkout.

Prime Day deals still live are worth shopping only if the discount actually holds

Post-Prime Day shopping is messier than the main event. During the official window, retailers bundle urgency into one big banner. Afterward, discounts scatter across product pages, retailers, and categories.

ZDNet’s surviving list is narrow, which makes it more useful. These aren’t dozens of marginal markdowns. They’re five still-live offers with clear numbers attached:

XOOMAR analysis: The pattern is clear. The best remaining offers are not clustered in one category. They cut across fitness wearables, kitchen gadgets, smart home gear, subscriptions, and audio. That rewards targeted buyers, not shoppers scrolling for a dopamine hit.

For readers trying to separate real discounts from noisy sale labels, our earlier discount-quality guide, Amazon Prime Day 3 Deals Expose the Fake Discounts, is a useful companion.

Ninja Slushi stays on sale for shoppers who want a countertop frozen drink machine

The Ninja Slushi 88 oz is the flashiest kitchen deal in ZDNet’s roundup. It’s listed at $200, down from $350, for a $150 saving and 42% off.

ZDNet says the machine is “officially sold out at Amazon and Walmart,” but still in stock at Best Buy at its “best price ever.” That retailer split matters. A deal can look dead on Amazon and still be alive elsewhere.

This is the kind of appliance discount that works because the product isn’t a generic replacement purchase. It’s a countertop frozen drink machine, which gives it summer appeal and gift potential. It also sits outside the usual blender, air fryer, and coffee maker rotation.

Prescription: Check the exact model, stock status, delivery date, and seller before buying. If Best Buy is the only listed live source, speed matters more than browsing. For broader kitchen deal discipline, see Prime Day Kitchen Deals Expose the Cheap Gear Trap.

Garmin Fenix 8 Pro deal gives serious athletes a rare premium smartwatch discount

The Garmin Fenix 8 Pro 47mm is the high-ticket item here. ZDNet lists it at $850, down from $1,200, saving $350. It also says this is the “lowest price it's ever been.”

That price cut matters because this is not a casual smartwatch buy. ZDNet describes the Fenix 8 Pro as a rugged smartwatch with sleek aesthetics, and says it was one of ZDNet’s top 3 sellers of the sale.

The underlying condition is simple: buyers who want a premium outdoor watch often wait for a serious cut, and this one is large enough to change the decision for runners, hikers, cyclists, and outdoor users who were already close to buying.

XOOMAR analysis: Casual buyers should be careful. If you mainly want notifications, step counts, and basic workouts, a cheaper tracker may fit better. This deal is strongest for people who already know they want Garmin’s high-end sports-watch lane and specifically want the 47mm version listed.

Walmart Plus discount keeps the membership fight alive after Prime Day

The Walmart+ Membership offer is the service deal in the group, and it extends the post-Prime Day story beyond Amazon. ZDNet lists it at $49 per year, down from $98 per year, a 50% cut.

The perks named in the source are the ones that matter most: free delivery, free shipping, and a choice of included Paramount+ or Peacock. ZDNet calls it “The best Prime Day deal” and notes that it is still available.

This one depends less on product specs and more on household behavior. If you already order from Walmart or use grocery delivery, the annual math is easier to justify. If you don’t, the discount can still become a paid subscription you forget about.

Prescription: Compare the $49 sale price with your expected monthly use. A membership deal only works when it replaces spending or saves time you already planned to spend.

Kasa smart plugs are the small-ticket automation buy still hanging around

The Kasa Smart Plug Ultra Mini 15A 4-Pack is the cheapest deal in ZDNet’s five-item list. It’s priced at $24, down from $30, for 20% off.

ZDNet frames these as budget smart plugs for automating lights, appliances, and more. That makes the deal practical rather than flashy. It’s also the sort of small smart home purchase where the savings won’t transform your budget, but the utility can be immediate if you already know where the plugs will go.

The comparison point is important. ZDNet says Amazon’s own smart plug deal had ended, while the Kasa 4-pack remained discounted. That gives late shoppers a substitute rather than just a consolation prize.

XOOMAR analysis: This is the most sensible impulse buy in the list, but only if you need multiple plugs. Buying a 4-pack because it’s discounted and then leaving two in a drawer ruins the math.

Bose SoundLink Plus gives the roundup its portable audio holdout

The Bose SoundLink Plus is still listed at $179, down from $269, saving $90. ZDNet marks that as 33% off.

ZDNet cites audio expert Jada Jones, who says the SoundLink Plus is a great midsize speaker for indoor and outdoor use. That positioning is useful. It’s not framed as a tiny throw-in speaker or a large home audio replacement. It sits in the portable middle.

This deal connects to the wider post-sale pattern because it’s specific. A good late discount is not just “speaker on sale.” It is a named model, with a named current price, a stated original price, and a clear use case.

Prescription: Match the speaker to where you’ll actually use it. Indoor and outdoor flexibility is only valuable if you’ll move it between rooms, patios, trips, or gatherings.

The bigger picture

The best Prime Day deals still live now reward fast verification, not panic buying. ZDNet’s list shows the sale afterglow is selective: one premium watch, one viral-style kitchen appliance, one membership, one smart home bundle, and one portable speaker.

The forward-looking watch item is duration. ZDNet does not say how long these prices will last, and the Ninja Slushi is already sold out at Amazon and Walmart while still listed at Best Buy. That is the clearest sign that post-event deals can fragment quickly.

Use a short checklist before buying:

• Price: Confirm the final checkout price matches the listed deal.
• Retailer: Check whether it’s Amazon, Best Buy, Walmart, or another seller.
• Fit: Buy for a real need, not because the sale clock made the product louder.
• Membership: For Walmart+, compare the $49 price against expected use.
• Stock: If the product is sold out at one retailer, verify availability elsewhere.

The sale rush is over. Disciplined shoppers still have room to save, but the window now favors people who know exactly what they want.

Key Takeaways

• Some strong Prime Day discounts remain available after the official sale ended on June 26.
• The best surviving deals span multiple categories and retailers, not just Amazon.
• Shoppers should verify final price, stock, retailer, and shipping before buying.
