Thirty-five percent will consider shopping if they find a good deal and only 5% state that they don't plan to shop during the event this year.

Developed by Slickdeals and conducted via Suzy, the study of 850 nationally representative Americans who are past Prime Day-shoppers found that 55% of respondents plan to spend the same amount as last year and 23% expect to spend more.  

The top four categories in which consumers plan to buy are the same as in 2022, including clothing, shoes & other apparel (63%), electronics (52%), essentials such as toilet paper (42%) and Amazon Basics products (42%). Hobby, leisure & travel products (40%) replaced food/pantry as the fifth-place pick.
