21 Amazon Early Spring Deals Our Editors Love

Here are 21 early Amazon Spring Deals that our shopping editors have scouted out, that are too good to miss.

How Long Will Amazon Big Spring Sale Deals Be Live?

Amazon's 2026 Big Spring Sale will run for a whole week – an entire 168 hours – offering discounts site-wide on everything from appliances to household essentials.

Amazon has run a few spring sales in its time, and it's a fantastic opportunity to shop for deals without having to be a Prime member.

Although the name varies (it might be the Big Spring Sale or Spring Deal Days), you can expect Amazon to be running a seasonal sale event every year. It usually lands at the end of March, and it's a great opportunity to prepare your home for spring.

What Time Does Amazon Big Spring Sale Start and End?

Amazon's Big Spring Sale will start at 00:01 on March 25, then finishes at 23:59 on March 31 Pacific time. So, if you're on the West coast, it will start at midnight, but if you're on the East coast, it'll begin at 3 am.

How Can You Tell If You've Found a Good Deal at Amazon?

Use a Price Tracking Tool

Shop like an eCommerce editor and use a price tracking tool, which gives you access to the price history of a particular product. That way, you can work out from context whether you're actually getting a good deal, or if you'd be better off waiting for prices to fall further in future sales.

For Amazon, I recommend CamelCamelCamel. Here's how it works: Paste the Amazon link into CamelCamelCamel's search bar, and you'll see the product's lowest recorded price, as well as its average price, and when that price tends to fluctuate.

These figures form 'humps' on a line graph, like the back of a camel, hence the name. Sometimes, Amazon stores up the prices before a sale event, and this is a great way to catch when they're emphasizing how big the discount is.

Use Comparison Sites

This could be as easy as clicking the Google 'Shopping' tab at the top of your search engine results page. You might find that the best deal isn't on Amazon at all, but Walmart, Target, Wayfair, QVC or direct from the brand you're shopping.

Only Buy the Items You Actually Need

Throughout the year, I keep a wish list of the items and appliances I want to buy. Sometimes, I add the item to my cart before the sale begins, so that I can buy it right away when the deal drops.

If you're looking for something specific, whether it's the best non-toxic coffee makers, the best soundbars, or the best mattress toppers, read real, hands-on reviews to hone in on the product that's right for you and your home.

When the sales start, I'm strict with myself – I only let myself shop from my wish list. That way, I get the dopamine hit from bargain-hunting, but I don't fall victim to overspending.

When Is the Best Time to Get an Amazon Deal?

You can find deals at Amazon all-year-round, but during sale events like the Big Spring Sale, Labor Day, Prime Day, and Black Friday, you'll find the best selection and the deepest savings.

Amazon is one of the best retailers for low prices and frequent discounts, and whether it's furniture, appliances, or essentials you're shopping for, you're pretty much always guaranteed to find some savings.

Generally, waiting for the major sales like Amazon Prime Days, Black Friday, and the ones I've listed below is the best way to secure the biggest discounts of the year.

FAQs

Do You Have to Be a Prime Member to Access Amazon Deals?

Amazon's Big Spring Sale is not exclusive for Prime members, but to access the deepest discounts and the widest range of deals with fast delivery, you should sign up for Amazon Prime.

During Amazon's Prime Days, anything labeled as a 'Prime Day deal' is exclusive to Prime members.

Here's a workaround if you want this access but don't want to pay for Prime all year: Sign up for the one-month free Amazon Prime trial right before you want to shop.

For that month, you'll get free one-day delivery, plus access to Amazon's Prime Video streaming service. As long as you cancel before the 30-day cut-off, you won't be charged. If you forget to cancel your payment, you'll be charged $14.99 a month.

Are Amazon Sales Worth It?

It might seem like over-hype, but Amazon's Big Spring Sale and Prime Day are better times to find a deal than almost all other sales events. Other than Black Friday, these sales are where you'll see the most choice of what's on offer and some of the lowest prices all year.

We've seen products from the best soundbars to the best grills discounted to around half their retail price, which is not a discount to be ignored.

When Is the Next Amazon Prime Day?

Amazon typically runs two Prime Days every year, one in July and one in October. Last year, we had the first-ever four-day Prime Day from July 8-11, and the second event, called Prime Big Deal Days, ran from October 7-8.

In my experience as a sales hunter, you will see the greatest breadth and depth of Amazon deals on Amazon Prime Day. Everything from home appliances to decor to mattress toppers is discounted heavily during this time.

It's similar to Black Friday (and occasionally, more fruitful), but where Amazon's Black Friday deals are open to everyone, you can only make the most of Amazon Prime Day deals if you're a Prime member. You can always start a 30-day free trial when Prime Day comes around and cancel it before the first payment comes out, to make the most of the deals.

Also, many other major retailers, including Walmart and Best Buy, tend to run their counter-sales around Amazon Prime Day, and you don't have to be a member to shop at those.

What is Amazon Renewed?

Amazon Renewed is a hub to find appliances and gadgets that have been refurbished and tested by qualified suppliers, offering goods for a fraction of their original price.

It's a great way to minimize e-waste which is a growing concern worldwide. You can also find refurbished goods at Walmart Restored and Best Buy Outlet.

How Can I Prepare for an Amazon Sale?

Our tips on finding a good deal at Amazon include using comparison sites and doing your research beforehand, and you can still do this now that the event is up and running. The team at Amazon has its own dedicated suggestions on how to head into the sales.

Over at Amazon's Prime Day announcement page, you'll find some tips on how to prepare and make the most out of the massive sale event.

  • Available on the Amazon Shopping app in the US, Rufus is a new AI assistant designed to help save time and make more informed decisions when shopping. It uses information from product listings, reviews and community Q&As to recommend products, compare options, and help with current and past orders.
  • Alexa+ is Amazon's latest update to Alexa: a new personal assistant that uses generative AI to answer a whole host of queries from booking restaurant reservations to controlling your smart home. For Prime Day, it can be used to track discounts across the products or topics that you're interested in. If you have an Alexa device like the Amazon Echo Pop or Amazon Echo Dot, use it to your advantage when the sales arrive. Alexa+ is free if you're a Prime member.
  • Part of the new Alexa+ suite of AI features is Interests, which is software that can personalize lists of products based on your favorite interests using prompts. You can write 'Brewing tools and gadgets for coffee lovers' to browse highly-rated goods, or go as specific as 'I want something abstract or modern made of black metal, not canvas.'

Can I get alerts for Amazon deals?

Yes. Download the Amazon Shopping app at Google or Apple and subscribe to deal notifications on items on your wish list.

Amazon Lightning Deals

Amazon Lightning Deals are flash sales that pop up around major sales periods. You're less likely to find small or large appliances in the Lightning Deals section – think more along the lines of skincare, make-up, and other impulse buys.

You can make Lightning Deals work for you by stocking up on a few inexpensive items to get you over the threshold for free delivery. So, if I were buying a $35 sheet set, but I needed to spend $40 to qualify for free delivery, I could shop the Lightning Deals section to pick up a few cheap favors. Anything from your essential cleaning toolkit would be perfect.
