Amazon launches early Prime Big Deal Days discounts ahead of October 6-7 sale
Amazon has begun offering early Prime Day discounts on a range of products, with some items marked down up to 60% before the official October 6-7 sale period.
Amazon confirmed that its Prime Big Deal Days will run on October 6 and 7, but the retailer has already reduced prices on dozens of items. Early discounts include the Garmin Vívoactive 6 smartwatch, which the outlet notes offers up to 11 days of battery life, and the Dyson V8 cordless vacuum, advertised with 40 minutes of runtime and a detachable handheld mode. A corded vacuum with self-cleaning brushroll and sensor-adjusted suction is also highlighted, as are reusable ice packs, an 8-inch HD tablet with Alexa integration, and a gluten-free, vegan snack assortment from MadeGood.
The article lists additional markdowns such as 63% off an HP 14-inch laptop, 60% off an Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Select, and up to 60% off various kitchen appliances and Beats audio products. Other notable reductions include 50% off a Hydro Flask travel tumbler, 50% off a Mueller vegetable chopper, and 40% off SharkNinja home appliances.
According to the report, the early deals are intended to give Prime members access to low prices while inventory remains high, before the main sale begins. The outlet says it selected items that are at their lowest price in at least three months, carry a discount of 20% or more, and have an average rating of four stars or higher on Amazon.
"These limited-time early deals give you the opportunity to shop when inventory is the highest, before the sale officially begins," the article states.
The piece notes that the recommendations are based on the outlet’s prior coverage and testing, and that price tracking tools were used to verify the discounts.
