Amazon Prime Day Dates Revealed: Prime Big Deal Days is Back on October 7 and 8
The earliest start to the holiday shopping season is coming back for 2025.
October Prime Day will return this year, with Amazon announcing that its Prime Big Deal Days sale will take place on October 7 and 8. This event will last for 48 hours, returning to a shorter format after extending Prime Day in July to four full days.
While July Prime Day is Amazon’s marquee sale for Prime members, the October event has gained importance since its debut in 2022. It provides subscribers a chance to snag exclusive deals leading up to the holiday season and helps Amazon boost sales and subscriber counts.
Expected deals for Prime Day will cover a range of products, including discounts on electronics and household goods. However, determining whether you are getting a good price can be challenging. Here are some tips from Engadget to make the most out of Prime Day shopping:
-
Use a Price Tracker: Utilize online price trackers like CamelCamelCamel and Keepa to see the price history of items. This will help you determine if the current price offers real savings compared to previous prices.
-
Shop Early: Amazon often releases solid Prime Day deals in the weeks leading up to the event. If you see a price drop for items on your list, it might be wise to purchase them early.
-
Look for Amazon Devices: Amazon’s own products—such as Kindles, Echo speakers, and Blink cameras—frequently see their prices drop during Prime Day. If these are on your shopping list, consider waiting until late September to buy.
-
Stock Up on Small Items: Affordable tech items like charging cables and Bluetooth trackers tend to get significant discounts. These can be great options for stocking stuffers or backup devices.
-
Caution with Lightning Deals: Amazon’s Lightning Deals are time-limited offers, and not all are worth pursuing. If an item on your wishlist drops in price for a limited time, it’s best to grab it quickly.
Historically, many of the sale prices during October Prime Day mirror those seen during Black Friday and Cyber Monday. Engadget will provide coverage of the event, so be sure to check back for the best tech deals as they become available.
Stay updated and ready for the best shopping experience this Prime Day!
