Amazon Prime Day is a shopping event in October that offers exclusive discounts to Amazon Prime subscribers. This year’s event, called Prime Big Deal Days, will take place on Oct. 8 and 9. During this event, subscribers can expect limited-time offers, flash deals, and rock-bottom prices on a wide range of products. The sale will include discounts on Amazon’s own devices, such as Echo speakers, Kindle readers, Fire TVs, and more, as well as deals on big-name brands across various categories like tech, kitchen gear, outdoor furniture, and everyday essentials.
Some of the best savings during Prime Big Deal Days are typically found on Amazon devices, but there will also be significant discounts on items like laptops, TVs, fitness gear, and more. The deals are subject to change throughout the event, so it’s recommended to act quickly if you see something you like before the price changes or the deal expires. While Prime Big Deal Days is exclusive to Amazon Prime members, non-members can start a free trial just before the event to access the savings for free. Other retailers are likely to launch anti-Prime Big Deal Days sales, offering competing discounts and promotions during the event.
Amazon’s Prime Day events typically bring sales from other retailers, providing plenty of options for shoppers. The Prime Big Deal Days sale will feature both new and old deals, with some lasting for the entire event and others changing or selling out quickly. The CNET Deals team will be covering all the best price drops, discounts, and deals from Amazon, as well as other retailers, to help shoppers find the best October Prime Day deals by category and price. It’s recommended to check CNET.com/deals daily, sign up for the CNET Cheapskate newsletter, and install the CNET Shopping browser extension to ensure you’re getting the lowest prices available on your purchases.
