And why is that? Because we're right in the middle of Amazon Prime Deal Days, of course! From 8th to 9th October, Amazon Prime customers will be able to find discounts across hundreds of products and devices, from major brands such as LG, Sony, Bose, Shark, Tefal and, of course, Amazon itself.

Whether you're after an Amazon Echo smart speaker, a new smart TV or a microwave, you'll find a saving to suit you.

Earlier this year, we saw Amazon Prime Day take place on 11th July. In the three weeks leading up to it, a record-breaking number of new customers signed up for Prime.

That means that Prime Day 2024 was the biggest Prime Day in history, with millions of purchases made across 35 different categories, including 200 million items sold by independent sellers.

The best-selling items during Prime Day last year included the Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Max, Ninja Foodi MAX Dual Zone Air Fryer, COSRX Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence 100ml and Finish Ultimate Plus Infinity Shine Dishwasher Tablets— now that's what we'd call a mixed bag.

In comparison to Prime Day, Amazon Prime Deal Days is relatively new. It only started in 2022 as an additional Prime Day, but it's already become recognised as an important day in the sales calendar.

This year, there's a special twist: same-day delivery has been extended to a whopping 81 towns and cities throughout the UK, and who better to announce this news than Olympic medallists Zharnel Hughes and Dina Asher-Smith?

So, seeing as they're being speedy, we ought to be too. Let's get on with everything you need to know about the Big Deal Days.
