This is an archive of a past Amazon Prime Day. If you’re looking for the most current Amazon Prime Day to find stuff not made in China, visit here.
One thing we’ve discussed often is how things not made in China tend to be a little pricier in many cases. That’s of course because you DO get what you pay for, including better quality and the knowledge that you’re not supporting the CCP’s exploitation of workers not contributing to its ever-increasing military that’s threatening neighbors like Taiwan.
If you’ve got disposable income and need things right away, I’d suggest buying NMIC stuff as soon as you see it. But for the rest of us, we can wait for these sales events from Amazon. The biggest sales tend to happen around these times:
- Amazon Prime Day (traditionally mid-July)
- Prime Big Deal Days (traditionally early-to-mid October)
- Black Friday (late November)
As Big Deals Days for 2025 approaches, I’ve compiled a list of NMIC items that will be going on sale (or are on sale already).
Most of these will be available on the start of Prime Big Deals Day (October 7 at 12am Pacific Time), but many are available now. If you see something you like, be sure to jump on it: some of these deals won’t last. (If the price is higher or it’s being sold by a third party seller, it’s either sold out or not yet for sale).
If you’re not an Amazon Prime Member yet, you can sign up here. It’s getting pricier and pricier each year, but they do give you decent value for your money: faster and free delivery options, Prime Video streaming, partial access to Amazon Music, and unlimited photo storage with Amazon Photos (which I use as a backup for my iPhone Photos).
