Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days will occur on October 7-8, 2025, offering significant deals just in time for the holiday shopping season. However, early savings are already available today, October 5.
Early Deals and Popularity Surge
This year’s October Prime Day has gained popularity since its introduction as a fall counterpart to the July event, strategically positioned to precede Black Friday. This timing allows shoppers to buy gifts and tech without competing with the holiday rush.
October Prime Day often features prices similar to or better than Black Friday, especially for Amazon devices and leading electronics, making it an appealing option for eager shoppers.
Discounts on Amazon’s Own Brands
Amazon’s electronics department is currently offering significant discounts. Apple products, typically not heavily discounted, are marked down, with major deals on items like the Mac Mini M4. Samsung tablets and phones, along with Sony audio products, are also included.
- Kindle e-readers at all-time low prices
- Blink cameras below $50 for starters
- Discounted eero mesh WiFi systems
- Fire TV streaming devices at record lows
Amazon’s discounts aim to increase adoption of its devices and services, encouraging long-term Prime membership among customers.
Preparing for the Prime Day Event
Shopping early on October 5 entails less competition than during the official event on October 7. This approach allows customers to avoid website congestion and limited stock issues.
A Prime membership is required, costing $139 a year or $14.99 monthly. Non-members can try a 30-day free trial, which includes access to the deals. It’s advisable to add desired items to your cart in advance to track price changes efficiently.
