How to shop Amazon Prime Big Deal Days

Amazon's second Prime Day

Prime Big Deal Days is Amazon's October sale for Prime members: two days, usually in the first half of the month. It began in 2022 as the Prime Early Access Sale and took its current name in 2023. In 2026 it ran 6–7 October, and US shoppers spent $9.86 billion online across all retailers in those two days (Adobe).

Not the deepest sale of the autumn

Adobe put the 2026 peak discount at about 20% off, against 31% on electronics at Cyber Monday 2025. Treat it as an early look at holiday prices, not the lowest ones. Most shoppers used it to stock up: the average item cost $23.19, and 68% of items were under $20.

What is worth buying

  • Amazon devices, which tend to drop back towards their Prime Day prices.
  • Household essentials you would buy anyway: in 2026 the bestsellers were protein shakes, toilet paper, wipes and dish soap.
  • Gifts you are sure about, if the return window covers the holidays.

Check the return date

Amazon has extended holiday returns to cover autumn purchases in recent years, so an October gift can often go back in January. Check the return-by date in your order before you rely on it.

Compare before you buy

More than half of shoppers compared prices elsewhere in 2026, most often at Walmart. A brand's own store can beat Amazon with a code, so check its page here for one we have tested at a real checkout.
