“A lot of people have deal shopping fatigue these days. My biggest advice going into Prime Big Deal Days is to keep an eye out for deals on Apple electronics, Amazon devices and beauty products. These three categories typically hit their lowest prices during Prime member sales, so you can pick them up now rather than waiting until Black Friday. The same goes for small kitchen appliances and robot vacuums,” says supervising deals editor Kara Cuzzone.

What Is Prime Big Deal Days?

The sale, colloquially known as October Prime Day, is a Prime Day-like event that gives members an opportunity to save on millions of products across all categories—including gift-worthy items ahead of the holidays. Although not quite as prominent as its sister event over the summer, Prime Big Deal Days typically features some Black Friday-level offers, so it’s worth checking out.

Is There An October Prime Day This Year?

Yes. Prime Big Deal Days (often known as October Prime Day) will take place on Oct. 7 and 8 this year. The sale should look very similar to what we’ve seen in years past—both in terms of scope and the types of discounts available.

What’s The Difference Between Amazon Prime Day And Black Friday?

Amazon Prime Day is an annual summer sale that gives Prime members the chance to save on thousands of items from the e-tailer. While some retailers run competing sales, it’s largely an event focused around Amazon. Black Friday is a more ubiquitous shopping holiday just after Thanksgiving that includes discounts across just about every retailer you can think of. Not only is Black Friday the bigger of the two sales, it’s also generally brings about the absolute lowest prices of the year.

Is Amazon Prime Day Better Than Black Friday?

No. Historically, Black Friday is the larger and more encompassing of the two events. While Prime Day is limited to Amazon, Black Friday hosts sales across the internet and at some stores in-person. It also historically when retailer’s launch their biggest sales of the season in an effort to capture the attention of holiday shoppers. That said, Prime Day is still a great sale to shop ahead of the holidays, especially if you have your eye on small appliances, tech, smart devices and other Amazon-branded products.

What Will Be On Sale For October Prime Day?

Amazon’s October Prime Day event puts a spotlight on fall essentials. Think hosting basics, like small appliances and kitchen gear, toys ahead of the gift-giving season and personal tech, including headphones and fitness trackers. Prime Day is also typically a good time to pick up Amazon devices, like smart speakers and displays, since the e-tailer often saves its most dramatic drops for its own name brands.
