The year’s biggest deals event is (almost) here…again. If you’re experiencing dejá vú, that’s because Amazon has just announced that they will put on another two-day Prime Day in October — the perfect time for early holiday shopping.
This year’s second Prime Day, which they are calling Prime Big Deal Days, will take place from October 10-11.
The deals event will feature hundreds of deals on entertainment, tech, home goods, fitness and fashion — all in one place. As always, you need to be an Amazon Prime member to access the offers. Amazon does have a Daily Deals tab on their site any customer can shop through year-round, but come Deals Day the best sales won’t be available to non-Prime members. An Amazon Prime membership costs $14.99 a month (or $7.49 a month for students). But if you aren’t already a member, you can sign up for a 30-day free trial here.
So, what types of deals can you expect on Big Deals Day? In the past, we’ve seen huge price slashes on Apple devices such as AirPods, Macbooks, iPads and Apple Watches; Amazon devices like Roku Sticks, Fire TVs and Echo Dots; and coveted home goods like Dyson vacuums and Nespresso machines.
We’re particularly excited about sales in home entertainment. Premium soundbars from brands like Sonos and JBL usually see significant price drops, in addition to projectors, projector screens and smart TVs. And gamers, worry not: consoles such as the PS5 and Nintendo Switch will also likely see steep discounts.
Check in here for the latest updates on Amazon’s second Prime Day, and a running list of the best deals (remember, you won’t see the deal unless you’re signed in with your Prime membership).
