The best early Amazon October Prime Day 2024 deals

If you’ve had your eye on any new components for your PC, a new monitor, or perhaps a shiny new gaming laptop then now is the time to start doing your research and check prices ahead of the fall sales events. Starting soon is Amazon’s Big Deals Day sales event returning on the 8th – 9th of October 2024. In conjunction with Amazon’s event, several major tech retailers are also hosting their own events to try and grab your hard-earned money. 

Although Prime Day 2 (Big Deals Day) is starting on the 8th and 9th you will need to be an existing Amazon Prime member or take up an Amazon Prime membership to be able to grab any possible deals. You can sign up for Prime for $14.99 a month or if you want to save a few dollars you can sign up for a year for $139 – saving you $40.99 over the course of a year. 

Several other tech retailers including Newegg, Best Buy, and Walmart are also jumping on the sales train and hosting their own events. Newegg has its Techtober sales event, while Best Buy is hosting a 48-hour flash sale and Walmart is having its Walmart Deals, so there are plenty of opportunities to hopefully pick up a bargain.

What will be on sale during Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days 2024?

Apart from Amazon’s own products such as the Kindle and Echo, we can’t be 100% sure, but in the past we’ve seen many computer hardware components, peripherals, and monitors discounted, so we should hopefully see more tech deals in this event.
