Amazon Prime Day Is October 8 and 9 — Here’s Everything to Know, Plus Deals to Shop Now

In the shopping world, Amazon Prime Day has quickly become one of the biggest sales events of the year. And we have to say, we understand why — it offers some of the best discounts you can find (some even steeper than Black Friday!). With sales in every category, you’re likely to spot that item you’ve been eyeing at a lower price, including brands like KitchenAid, Pyrex, and All-Clad — some of The Kitchn readers’ top picks! So if you missed the first Prime Day, which took place on July 16 and 17 this year, don’t fret; Prime Big Deal Days are almost here.

Also referred to as October Prime Day, this second Prime Day is expected to offer discounts at prices similar to the first one. However, there are some major differences between this sale event and the one back in July. Before you start shopping, it’s important to have all your information straight for the smoothest experience possible!

So, what is Prime Big Deal Days, when do the sales start, and what kind of deals can you expect to find? We answer all of your biggest questions below.

Amazon Prime Big Deal Days is Amazon’s newest sale event. Like its sister sale Prime Day, this sale will have deep discounts across categories, meaning that if there’s something you’ve been eyeing on Amazon for a while, chances are you’ll be able to score it at a great price during Prime Big Deal Days. So what sets this sale apart? Unlike Prime Day, this sale will be exclusive to Prime members, meaning if you want to save big, you’ll need an Amazon Prime account.

Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days sale will take place in October with the two-day sale slated to take place from October 8th to October 9th. Be sure to bookmark this article so you can come back to it for the latest information on all things Amazon Prime Big Deal Days.

Now, this isn’t the first time Amazon is hosting the Prime Big Deal Days sale as the brand held it for the first time last October. Intended as an end-of-year lead-up to Black Friday sales, it looks like “the October Prime Day” is here to stay and we can likely expect to see this sale again each October.

As this sale is exclusive to Prime members, you’ll need a Prime membership to shop the Amazon Prime Big Deal Days sale. We recommend joining for two reasons: to take advantage of the exclusive Prime member-only deals and free two-day shipping. So, how much does a Prime account cost? Memberships come in at $14.99 a month or $139 a year (student plans come in at $7.49 a month). The best part? If you’re on the fence about joining, you can sign up for a 30-day risk-free trial and cancel at any time!

With deals across almost every category, there really isn’t a bad thing to shop during the sale. That being said, some of our favorite categories to scour during the big day are home, kitchen, and tech, with many of the biggest savings being found in these sections. Whether it’s a trending piece of decor, a small appliance you’ve had your eye on, or a new TV, expect to save big on it all during Amazon Prime Big Deal Days.
