Black Friday is still on the way, of course, but Amazon is once again doing something called Prime Big Deal Days in early October. It’s taking place on the 8th and 9th October, so expect plenty of great deals on both Amazon US and Amazon UK over those days.
What else you need to know
The Big Deal Days event will take place at slightly different times depending on where you live due to time differences.
The Prime Big Deal Days sale ran last year as well, which in turn replaced the Prime Early Access sale which ran in 2022.
These events are, essentially, a second Prime Day. For Amazon, it’s an opportunity to get in early on the pre-Christmas and Thanksgiving sales action ahead of rivals. A lot of other retailers are tending to begin their sales in early November. Black Friday and Cyber Monday are still to come as well, of course!
Prime Big Deal Days will take place in the following countries: Australia, Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, China, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Singapore, Spain, Sweden, the U.S. and the UK.
You’ll need an Amazon Prime account to get the deals
As you’d expect, only Amazon Prime members will be able to access the sale, so if you’re not already signed up, now is the time to do so. Luckily, Amazon offers a 30-day free trial, which you can still use to access Prime deals. Check that out here:

How to get the best Prime Big Deal Days savings
Bargains can be tempting, but if you have a shopping list of products you want to get during the Prime Big Deal Days, doing a bit of research ahead of time will ensure the bargain you get really is saving you cash.
The saving stated might also be based on RRP rather than what it sells for on the site normally. It’s a bit of a sneaky trick, but one of the oldest in the book. If you’ve got your eye on something, it could be worth finding out its price now. Then, you’ll know just how much of a deal it really is.
Those that are genuine deals – plenty of them, too – are likely to be snapped up quickly, so be ready to start clicking as soon as they’re live. We’ll be keeping you in the loop with start times, so you can be prepared.
