When does Amazon's Prime Big Deal Day event start?
Amazon's October Prime Day-style event, Prime Big Deal Days, is coming 8 and 9 October. However, you can find some early deals that have already dropped across various categories. Some annual sales markdowns may continue for the next few days, but most will expire when the event officially ends.
Do prime deals change throughout the day?
Unfortunately, yes. All the deals we list here and the rest of Amazon's deals are subject to change before, after, and even during the sale event. Here at CNET, we're constantly going through our pages to make sure they're updated with the latest prices. Since the price can change anytime you see something you like, we recommend buying it as soon as possible before the price changes, the contract expires, or the item becomes unavailable.

How we pick the best Prime Big Deal Days deals
Many of us at CNET have covered shopping events for more than five years, including Black Friday, Prime Day, Memorial Day and countless other sales. In that time, we've learned how to find the best deals in a sea of thousands of superficial offers and scams, and we only feature the best offers from trusted retailers. We look for real discounts, quality reviews and remaining sales time when choosing the best deals to show you.
- Real discounts mean real savings. We check price history for products listed as on sale so we know when it's an inflated list price rather than a true discount.
- Quality review and testing is very important for any product. A discount isn't worth it if it results in a subpar product experience, no matter how much you save.
- Remaining sales time is very important. Some deals are for a limited time only or supplies may be limited. If this is the case, we will notify you in advance so that you do not return to the contract later to be disappointed.

How do Prime Big Deal Days deals compare to Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals?
Amazon's Prime Big Deal Day and Black Friday/Cyber Monday have a lot in common. Anecdotally, Black Friday tends to offer better deals on big-ticket items like TVs, home appliances, and laptops, while Prime Big Deal Days will focus on more everyday items and items under $25.
If you're looking for a good bargain on year-round essentials, shop them on Prime Big Deal Day. If you're looking for a “once a year” bargain, Black Friday is probably your best bet. If you want to beat the holiday rush, there will be plenty of items on sale that make great gifts for loved ones.
