When is Amazon’s October Prime Day sale?
The October Prime Day Sale (also known as Prime Big Deal Days) officially runs from Oct. 7 to 8. However, early deals have already started, and we expect a handful of offers to stick around for a bit after the sale has wrapped up. We’re also anticipating competing sales at other major retailers around these dates.
Are October Prime Day deals worth buying?
Depending on what you’re after, the short answer is yes. Thousands of items will be on sale, including some deals that match or exceed the previous all-time low prices, with plenty of early discounts already available. Just note that Amazon stock can fluctuate wildly, which means there’s no telling how long any discounted items will remain on sale or available. If you see a deal you don’t want to miss, we’d recommend taking advantage of those savings sooner rather than later.
Will other retailers be offering Prime Day deals?
While the official Prime Day sale is exclusive to Amazon, other retailers will be getting in on the action as well. Walmart has already confirmed that it will be running its own sale from Oct. 7 to 12, and we expect other competitors like Best Buy and Target to follow suit.
How we choose the best Amazon Prime Day deals
Many of us here at CNET have covered shopping events for several years, including Black Friday, Prime Day, Memorial Day and countless other sales. In that time, we’ve learned how to spot the best deals among a sea of thousands of superficial offers and scams and we only highlight the best offers from trusted retailers. We look for real discounts, quality reviews and remaining sale time when choosing the best deals to show you.
- Real discounts mean genuine savings. We check pricing history for products listed as on sale so we know when it’s a case of an inflated list price rather than an actual discount.
- Quality reviews and testing are super important for any product. A discount isn’t worthwhile if it results in a subpar product experience, no matter how much you saved.
- Remaining sale time is important, too. Some deals are only around for a short time or may be limited in supply. If that’s the case, we’ll let you know upfront so you don’t come back to the deal later only to be disappointed.

There are a lot of ways to ensure you’re getting the latest scoop on Prime Day offers. The CNET Deals team covers all the best price drops, discounts and deals every day from across the web, highlighting the best offers.
