There’s less than 24 hours until Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days commences, and we’re more than ready to help you bag some early deals ahead of the festive season to spread the cost of Christmas, as well as save you as much of your hard-earned cash as possible.
Starting in 2022, the two-day sales extravaganza works much like Amazon Prime Day, which took place earlier this year in July. It gives shoppers a chance to begin their festive shopping early and stock up on seasonal essentials, while also nabbing money-saving deals on big-name brands across various categories.
Set to include discounts from best-selling brands like Bose, Shark and Tefal, as well as some of the “lowest prices of the year so far” on selected products from Stanley, Barbie, and Silentnight, the sale is available exclusively to Prime members (you can sign up here if you haven’t already).
Once Prime Big Deal Days begins tomorrow, we’ll be live updating this page.
What is October Prime Day?
Just like Amazon Prime Day, it’s a two-day sales event where the e-tailer slashes the price of some its bestsellers for Prime members. As this event is closer to the end of the year, Amazon is promising some of the “lowest prices of the year so far”.
When does October Prime Day start?
October’s Prime Day will take place over two days. The first discounts launch at 00.01 on Tuesday 8 October, with offers running until 23.59 on Wednesday 9 October. However, you can shop early deals right now.
How can I find the best deals?
Alerts via the Amazon app
One of the easiest ways to keep in the loop with deals is by setting up notifications. To do this, you need to head to the “Deal Alerts” section in the app (Your Account > Message Centre > Deal Alerts). From there, you can make your own alerts, as well as view any of Today’s Deals. When the deal starts, your smartphone will get a notification.
Carefully read reviews
It might sound obvious but if you want a real idea of how a product works, what the quality is like, and whether it lives up to expectation, then giving the reviews a read before purchasing is always a good idea.
Create a wishlist
Do your research beforehand and make a list of the items you want the most. This way, you’re less likely to buy impulsively (although, sometimes it can’t be helped if there’s a fantastic offer).
Use the item filters
The item filters on Amazon are a great way of narrowing down your selection based on everything from price, discount percentage, customer ratings and more.
In the interest of kicking things off early and preparing for Amazon’s Prime Big Deals Day, here are the best early deals you can snap up now.
