Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days runs from October 8-9, with deals on everything from basics to big-ticket items. As usual, some of the best savings are on tech must-haves, including the latest offerings from brands like Apple, Amazon, Samsung, and more.
Prime Big Deal Days — or October Prime Day, as most have taken to calling it — includes a dizzying array of deals, but it’s a good opportunity to get an early start on holiday shopping if you’d rather kick your feet up come Black Friday. Of course, not everyone wants to think about holiday shopping amid spooky season. If that’s the case, you might still want to take advantage of rare discounts on recently released products.
