Amazon has announced that October Prime Day will return this year. The mega-retailer will once again go live with Prime Big Deal Days on October 8 and 9, offering shoppers the chance to save on hundreds of thousands of items for Halloween, holiday gifts, fall and winter clothing and shoes, and more.
Prime Big Deal Days has become an unofficial kickoff to the holiday shopping season over the years, giving Amazon Prime members the opportunity to shop from the comfort of their homes to escape the chaos of Black Friday.
Past Prime Big Deal Days have seen big discounts on Lego and Disney toys for kids, and great deals on gifts for men and women across almost every category. It’s also a great time to stock up on seasonal clothing and gear, with brands like Columbia, DeWalt, and even Asics often offering big discounts on everything from warm jackets to power tools and even trendy running shoes.
Amazon has kicked off the sale with up to 55% off the regular price tags on select Blink cameras, Fire TVs, and Amazon Echos, with more deals being added each day leading up to the event. To make the most of Prime Big Deal Days 2024, here's what you need to know before you start putting together your wishlist.
