Prime Big Deal Days 2025 FAQ
What is Prime Big Deal Days 2025?
Every year, Prime Day lands in July. This year it stretched across a full four days, from Tuesday, July 8 through Friday, July 11. But starting in 2022, Amazon introduced a sequel event in the fall: Prime Big Deal Days. It’s been back every October since, and in 2025 it returns on October 7 and 8.
Expect steep cuts on basics (white tees, polos, denim), activewear, sneakers, and outerwear. Brands like Levi’s, Calvin Klein, Dickies, and Lacoste tend to unload a lot of inventory, while big-ticket electronics from Samsung, LG, and Sonos headline the markdowns. It’s also a sneaky-good time to start on your gift list—the Everything Store even has a dedicated Holiday Gift Shop, perfect if your holiday gifting strategy is typically panic and prayers.
What are the best things to buy on Prime Day?
After years of covering Prime Day and Prime Big Deal Days, our best piece of advice is this: focus on the items you’ve already had your eye on. With so many deals coming at you at once, it’s easy to get sidetracked and start filling your cart with things you never planned to buy. The smartest approach is to stay the course and keep the ol’ noggin clear of impulse buys.
Historically, Amazon-branded products see the biggest discounts. That includes smart home devices like Echo speakers and Ring doorbells; streaming devices like Fire TV sticks; and everyday tech like Kindles and Eero mesh Wi-Fi systems. Generally speaking, if you’ve been meaning to upgrade your tech setup, now’s the time to do it. Think Apple devices, headphones, smart speakers—Prime Day and Prime Big Deal Days tend to deliver solid value in that department.
On the men’s clothing front, the best deals usually land on everyday staples. It’s a good moment to restock on essentials like underwear, socks, and workout basics. You’ll also find solid grooming deals, especially on multi-groomers and electric razors from some of our favorite house-tested brands like Philips Norelco and Braun.
How long do the deals last?
Prime Big Deal Days 2025 officially kicks off on Tuesday, October 7 at 12:01 a.m. PDT and runs straight through the strike of midnight on Wednesday, October 8. So you’ve got two full days to scoop up as many markdowns as your cart can handle.
Do Prime Day deals change each day?
Yep, Prime Day deals definitely change each day, and sometimes even by the hour. Amazon rotates in new discounts each day across all categories (tech, clothing, home, you name it), so what’s here today might be gone tomorrow. Some deals only last 24 hours, and others sell out with a quickness. If you see something you like, it’s probably smart to grab it before it’s gone.
Do you need to be a Prime member to shop Amazon Prime Day?
Yes, you must be an Amazon Prime member to access Prime Big Deal Day’s exclusive deals. If you’re not yet a member, you can sign up for a 30-day trial.
Word to the wise: If you’re not yet a Prime member, you can sign up for a free 30-day trial, which will give you access to the event. After Prime Big Deal Days, there’s nothing stopping you from canceling your membership.
Are things actually cheaper on Prime Day?
A lot of things are cheaper on Prime Day—some at their lowest price all year, and a few at their lowest ever. But not every deal’s a no-brainer. Some discounts are minor, and occasionally, something was cheaper earlier in the year. To double-check, try CamelCamelCamel. It’s a price-tracking site that shows an item’s full Amazon price history, so you can see if today’s deal is actually a deal, or just looks like one. At the end of the day, though, a “good deal” is relative—if you need it now, it’s worth it; if you can wait, maybe wait.
Do other retailers participate in Prime Day?
Prime Big Deal Days is an Amazon-exclusive affair. But plenty of other retailers like to ride the coattails with their own competing sales. We’ll keep you posted on the best ones happening at the same time.
