Black Friday is preeminent among shopping events -- the big kahuna of sales, the top dog of deals. But you won't have to wait all the way until November to score some epic deals, especially if you're an Amazon Prime member. Amazon on Tuesday confirmed the dates for this year's Prime Big Deal Days: Oct. 7 and 8. That's about three weeks away, and there are already some early deals live now.
Amazon started Prime Day a decade ago in 2015. Since then, bargain hunters and savvy shoppers have looked forward to this annual event every summer, when this sale typically takes place. However, in recent years, Amazon has started to include additional sales throughout the year, such as Prime Deal Days in October and a Big Spring Sale, which took place earlier this year.
