Just when you thought Amazon Prime Day 2022 was long gone and you weren’t going to score anymore great deals until Black Friday — think again!
To prepare for all of the holiday gifting we have yet to brainstorm and add-to-cart, Amazon just announced it’s hosting a similar version of the retailer’s popular two-day shopping Prime Day event: the first annual Prime Early Access Sale.
According to the official press release that was released on Sept. 26, the shopping extravaganza will take place on Tuesday, Oct. 11 and Wednesday Oct. 12. so get your shopping carts ready.
Even better, get your credit cards ready now since Amazon is already giving shoppers a glimpse of the incredible deals they can snag in just a couple weeks. Shop early deals for the shopping event below right now.
What’s more, now’s the perfect time to stock up on all of the Amazon best-sellers you’ve been eyeing, like waitlist-inducing espresso machines, last-chance outdoor patio furniture and home gym-ready treadmills. But, there’s even more opportunities to score coveted, less-than-$100 items at a discount.
At New York Post Shopping, we’re prepping 24/7 coverage of the best deals (across all of our favorite categories: beauty, home, tech and more) to ensure you have the easiest time shopping and saving.
What is the Amazon Prime Early Access Sale 2022, and when is it?
Essentially, Amazon is spoiling us. For 48-hours straight, the retailer is offering a mountain of deals. This is your opportunity to save again during a one-off event (similar to Prime Day, though on a lesser scale). Likewise, this exclusive event is offered to Prime-eligible members.
According to the Amazon press release, October’s Fall Prime Deals Event will take place on Oct. 11 and 12. Similar to the first tentpole event in July, it will span for two days, featuring some Lightning Deals as well. The event starts at 12 AM PDT and will run through the end of the day on Oct. 12.
If you don’t currently have an Amazon Prime account, sign up below ASAP to ensure you can have access to all the amazing savings coming your way. Oh, and who doesn’t love two-day shipping?
How is the Amazon Prime Early Access Sale different from Prime Day?
Though it will be a two-day shopping event, deals will be offered in a smaller volume than the large-scale, annual Prime Day. With so many people shopping online from the comfort of their homes, Amazon put together another chance to save big and plan for the holidays before Black Friday and Cyber Monday.
How do I make the most of my holiday shopping?
We’re happy you asked. Along New York Post Shopping’s widespread gift guide coverage, Amazon has some specially curated gift guides — from what toys to buy to what home items to grab — on Amazon.com.
Deals to expect
Similarly to the Prime Day we saw last July, Amazon will be hosting an impressive amount of deals to Prime-eligible members. From major appliances to everyday basic apparel, you’ll have a ball shopping online.
“Amazon’s first-ever Top 100 list will feature a curated selection of some of the best deals from brands like Hasbro, iRobot, KitchenAid and Samsung. Prime members can also shop up to 80% off select Fire TV smart TVs, plus score additional savings on Alexa-enabled devices and top products from LEGO, adidas, Furbo and Ashley Furniture.”
