Amazon Prime Big Deal Days is coming in October. What we know about the holiday kickoff sale

Shoppers who cleaned up well during Amazon Prime Day in July will be so happy to hear that Amazon is having another Prime Day-like sales event this October. Like last year’s Prime Big Deal Days event, we expect plenty of great discounts across popular shopping categories such as tech, home and more. 

Read on to learn everything we know about Amazon’s fall Prime Day so far. And be sure to check back regularly, as we will be updating this article as soon as we get more information on the big sales event. 

What is Prime Big Deal Days?

Prime Big Deal Days is basically like another Amazon Prime Day, but in the fall. (The regular Prime Day occurs mid-July every year.) Think of it as the unofficial start to the 2024 holiday shopping season, or Amazon’s early version of Black Friday.

Like Prime Day, Prime Big Deal Days lasts two days and features deals across a variety of the brand’s shopping categories, including fitness, home, tech and much more. Prime Big Deal Days is Amazon’s second biggest sales event of the year (the first is Prime Day, of course), so we expect the deals to be among the best the retail giant has to offer.

When is Prime Big Deal Days 2024?

Amazon has not announced when Prime Big Deal Days 2024 will be held. Last year, the sale was held Oct. 10 and 11.

We will update this article as soon as we have the official dates for the big sale. 

Do you need to be a Prime Member to shop during Prime Big Deal Days?

Yes. Like Prime Day, the best deals at the Prime Big Deal Days sales event will be exclusive to Amazon Prime members.

Don’t have Prime? We highly encourage you to try the service (in our opinion, it’s worth it). Amazon Prime is mega-popular for a reason — not only do you get fast free shipping (two-day, one-day or even same-day shipping, depending on the products ordered), but you also get access to Prime Video, where you’ll find a plethora of award-winning movies and TV shows, discounts at Whole Foods and more.

If you’ve never tried Amazon Prime before, the retailer will likely offer you a 30-day free trial to test out the service (your trial offer may differ). And if you’re a college student or a shopper between the ages of 18 and 24, you can try out Prime for six months free, then afterward pay a discounted rate of $7.49 per month.

An Amazon Prime membership is $14.99 per month, or $139 per year if you choose to pay annually (the monthly rate for that is about $11.50). But right now, Amazon is offering a special Prime deal: You can get three months of Prime for just $7.49.

Amazon Prime Big Deal Days isn’t here yet, but there are already some great deals to shop at Amazon now. Check them out below. 

Apple AirPods (2nd Generation): $89 (save $40)

Just about anyone will love the budget-minded second-generation Apple AirPods. They’re not the latest model, but they’re still one of the most sought-after earbud models on the market. 

Retailing for $129 at Apple, they’re on sale for just $89 at Amazon today. These AirPods offer more than 24 hours of listening time with the wireless charging case; seamless one-tap setup for Apple devices; and low-latency wireless connection for immersive movie and music experiences.

Apple iPad (9th Generation) tablet: $224 (32% off)

Right now, you can get a brand-new, Wi-Fi-only Apple iPad (9th Generation) tablet with 64GB of internal storage for just $224 at Amazon, which is an incredible deal, making it a great time to upgrade your tech or grab someone an amazing gift.

The iPad (9th Generation) boasts more than 67,500 customer reviews on Amazon and has earned 4.8 stars out of five, so you know people love it. It’s the perfect starter tablet for kids and teens heading back to school, or anyone who wants the capabilities of an iPad without paying top dollar for an Apple iPad Pro or iPad Air.

While the ninth-generation iPad isn’t the latest model, featuring the slightly older Apple A13 Bionic processor, it still runs the same version of iPadOS and includes the full suite of apps available on the current iPad models. This tablet is equipped with a 10.2 inch (2,160 by 1,620-pixel resolution) Retina touchscreen display, along with a 12MP front camera and 8MP rear camera. The battery lasts for about 10 hours per charge. Choose between a space gray or silver casing color.

Vtopmart airtight food storage containers, set of 24: $33 (save 38%)

The set comes with 12 tall containers (six that are 2.5 quarts and six that are 1.8 quarts), six medium containers (1.5 quarts) and six small containers (0.7 quarts). We love that these come with decorative, chalk labels, which will make organizing your pantry not only easier but fun as well. 

In addition to the downright stylish labels, we also like these food storage containers’ airtight seal, which is achieved thanks to the silicone gasket on the lids. This tight closure will help keep your food fresh and protect it from pantry bugs (this is especially crucial for flour).

The containers are made of dishwasher-safe, BPA-free plastic. They’re also stackable and conveniently see-through, making it easy to find ingredients and snacks as well as discern how much of them you have left.
