The countdown to Amazon's October Prime Day has begun.
Black Friday is still a month away, so if you're looking for an early bargain then you're in luck, because the Amazon Prime Big Deal Days kick off tomorrow.
Amazon's October Prime Day might be a mouthful to say, but its selling point is short and sweet: two days of big savings for Amazon Prime members.
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.
This year, Amazon has also launched the sales event by announcing that same-day delivery has been expanded to 81 towns and cities across the UK. Aberdeen, Middlesbrough and Plymouth are the most recent additions to this, and the commerce giant used Olympic medallists Zharnel Hughes and Dina Asher-Smith to announce the news.
