No, it’s not Prime Day, but Amazon’s Big Spring Sale might be just as good, and it’s on its way. Just in time for warmer weather, the retailer is hosting its first ever spring deal event with deep discounts on everything from lawn and garden to beauty, and it all starts March 20.
Ready to stock up for spring? Here’s everything you need to know.
When is the Amazon Big Spring Sale?
Amazon’s Big Spring Sale officially starts March 20 and extends through March 25. So, unlike Prime Days, it’s a six-day event which means more time to shop. It also means new deals will be dropping every day for six full days. But don’t wait until day six to do your shopping. There’s a chance your item might be a limited-time deal, and you’ll want to keep an eye on the Amazon Spring Sale site for updates.
Do you need Amazon Prime to shop?
No Prime? No problem. You don’t need the service to shop the deals during the sale, but that doesn’t mean having Prime isn’t a perk. Some deals will be exclusive to members. Plus, you’ll get all the shipping benefits that come with Prime including same day and next-day delivery. Not to mention, Amazon Prime has sweet year-round perks like Prime Video for tv and movie streaming, Prime Music for streaming your favorite artists, and a GrubHub+ partnership that gets you free delivery!
Yes, you can still sign-up for Prime and cash in on all these benefits before shopping the sale.
What discounts can you expect?
Well, this is a spring sale, after all. If you need anything related to spring, it’s probably going to be up for grabs at a discount on Amazon. Some core categories you can expect to see, though, are beauty, sports and outdoor, home, apparel, and electronics. All of these categories could see up to 40% discounts with some even going as high as 50% off!
Are there early deals?
Yes! Amazon has already started rolling out some discounts for the Big Spring Sale, and you can start shopping now if you just can’t wait.
