When is Amazon’s Prime Day event?
The online retailer’s massive fall sale — technically “Amazon Big Deal Days” — runs Oct. 7 and 8.
Are Amazon Prime Day deals worth buying?
Depending on what you’re after, the short answer is yes. There are thousands of items on sale now, including some deals that match or exceed the previous all-time low prices. Just note that Amazon stock can fluctuate wildly, which means there’s no telling how long these 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.
Are other retailers offering Prime Day deals?
While the official October Prime Day sale is exclusive to Amazon, other retailers are absolutely getting in on the action. Best Buy and Walmart have kicked off their own events that coincide with the Prime Day dates, with plenty of other retailers ramping up the deals this week as well.

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 highlight only 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.
