It's official: Prime Big Deal Days will return on October 7th and 8th. The 48-hour event is exclusively for Prime members and will feature sitewide deals on everything from running shoes to our favorite Alexa hardware.

If you're not familiar with Prime Big Deal Days it's essentially an October Prime Day designed to kick off the holiday season. I've been tracking Prime Day events for more than a decade and while Prime Big Deal Days isn't quite as popular as July Prime Day, I find it's an excellent opportunity to score some early holiday deals.

Should you wait for Prime Big Deal Days before making any major purchases? The answer depends on what you're looking for. For example, Amazon is kicking off the week with a massive sale on Ring, Yeti, Samsung and more. I've gathered my top picks below. Alternatively, for more ways to save, make sure to check out our list of the best Amazon promo codes this week.
