    Young adults can claim half a year of Amazon Prime ahead of Prime Day.

    You’ll need an Amazon Prime membership if you want to get in on the best Prime Day deals. There’s good news if you’re between 18 and 24 years old: Amazon will grant you six months for free, with a discounted $7.49 monthly rate after. The plan has limitations on account sharing, understandably.

    TCL’s 65-inch mini-LED TV is a great early Prime Day deal.

    The TCL QM6K is $527.99 ($70 off) at Amazon, or $529.99 at Best Buy, with attractive discounts on larger sizes, too. The mini-LED panel is a great value for the price, stocked with Google TV software, quantum dots for richer contrast, and variable refresh rate that goes up to 144 Hz for smooth gaming.

    You can save $100 on ThermoMaven’s dual-probe wireless food thermometer.

    A wireless food thermometer makes it easy to dial in your dinners from afar. The ThermoMaven G2 is significantly cheaper than usual at Amazon, costing $49.99 (originally $149.99) with the code Q4I24PLR used at checkout. Its two probes can handle up to 221 degrees Fahrenheit, and they report directly to the included base station, no app needed.
