However, Walmart offers plenty of the best deals we see all year during Prime Day, and we’re already seeing some of them ahead of Amazon’s Big Deal Days.

FAQs
When is October Prime Day?
Amazon holds a Prime Big Deal Days sales event every October. This year, October Prime Day is happening on October 6 and 7.
How did we choose these Amazon Prime Day deals?
At ZDNET, we write about legitimately good deals on products we’ve tested, covered, and would recommend. As a consumer electronics reviewer, I test dozens of products throughout the year. I also cover deals throughout the year, so I’ve become familiar with price fluctuations, which helps me determine which deals are actually worth your hard-earned money.
