Amazon’s Prime (Big Deal) Days is set for October 8-9, 2024 and it is shaping up to be an exciting shopping event for consumers worldwide. While the official event is still a few days away, Amazon has begun rolling out early deals accessible to everyone over the weekend, not just Prime members, giving shoppers a taste of what’s to come.

Many of the deals that Amazon is advertising for its Prime Big Deal Days this month aren't your typical holiday gifts. To be sure, the company describes the sales event as "epic deals ahead of the holiday season" (note the "ahead" here).

Prime Big Deal Days, the annual sale event kicking off Amazon’s holiday shopping season, returns on Oct. 8 with savings of over 50% off millions of items. Amazon announced Prime Big Deal Days 2024 on Sept.
