When will the Amazon Big Spring Sale take place?

In the past couple of years, Amazon’s Big Spring Sale has happened in March. In 2024, the event ran from March 20 to March 25. As in 2025, this year the sale began March 25 and will last until March 31.

Do you need an Amazon Prime membership to shop the sale?

No, but having one can help you get more out of it. In past years, some of the deals were reserved exclusively for Prime members. A subscription also comes with such perks as free two-day shipping and faster delivery options.

What kind of deals can you expect?

The Amazon Big Spring Sale includes thousands of limited-time offers across a range of categories. We’re seeing discounts on electronics, fitness gear and other seasonal essentials. Popular items like headphones, TVs, tablets and home security systems are heavily discounted and, because the weather is warming up, there are also deals on grills, outdoor gear and backyard equipment.

Yes. During last year’s event, several major retailers launched their own versions to compete with Amazon. Stores like Best Buy and Walmart are offering similar discounts, so it’s worth checking them out before you buy.

Should you wait for Prime Day instead?

Prime Day remains Amazon’s biggest shopping event, typically held in July and again around October in recent years. While those sales often have excellent deals, many products see comparable discounts during the Big Spring Sale as well.

What are the biggest things to buy during the Big Spring Sale?

The biggest discounts tend to show up in electronics and tech. Tablets, laptops and smart home devices are often among the best deals of the event. Amazon-branded gadgets, especially products from Blink and other smart home lines, also see some of their lowest prices of the year.
