Hi welcome to Rawson in 60 Amazon is going to let you know when the stuff you want is about to go on sale And this is when we all go broke. I'll tell you how to get those alerts and all I need is 60 seconds or less. Let's start the clock up there. Alexa will now notify you up to 24 hours in advance if it's about to go on sale, the stuff you want. This new feature is for prime members and can be for anything in your shopping cart or on one of your wish list or any item that you've marked saved for later. So if you have your eye on a set of headphones, let's say right, save it into your cart. Alexa will let you know when it's on sale through your amazon echo device. The light. Yeah, it'll even turn yellow. They want you to know when that deal is live, it'll turn yellow when it's live. All you have to do is this, go on the Alexa app, click more right over here, more on the bottom right hand corner, then go to settings, notifications, scroll down over here to amazon shopping and toggle on the switch next to deal recommendations. You have to do those things. Then you will get the alerts that's all for today. Back to you
