As one of Amazon’s yearly fixtures, shoppers flock to the retail giant every March to get bargains on tech, beauty, appliances and more.
While the start dates of Amazon’s sales are usually kept under wraps until the weeks running up to the sale, this year’s Spring Sale gives Amazon fans just days to prepare.
The mega discount event is due to start at 00:01 on March 20, and will end at 23:59 on March 25.
Last year’s sale took place later in the month, but as the name suggests, 2024’s dates give more time for spring shopping.
As the weather warms up, many are beginning to think about spring cleaning, revamping their gardens or refreshing their home furnishings, kitchenware, or household gadgets.
Early deals:
The Spring Sale is one of several throughout the year, but it’s the earliest and precedes the Prime Day and Black Friday events, which take place much later in the year.
Shark, ghd, Calvin Klein, Philips, Samsung, and Oral-B are all brands expected to be discounted throughout the days, but the deals included will vary on each of the five days, so it’s worth keeping an eye out in case items drop even further.
Those who want to take advantage of free next-day delivery may benefit from signing up for a 30-day free trial of Amazon Prime, which also gets access to Prime Video.
Amazon Prime members can also get early access to lightning deals, which offer huge savings in time-restricted deals.
Once the sale starts, the amount of deals to scour through can feel overwhelming, so writing a list before it begins can help with narrowing down key purchases and avoid impulse buys.
With so many brands on Amazon, when buying branded items it’s always worth double checking against the brand’s own website, as some drop their prices in line to match Amazon’s, and sometimes offer free gifts or longer guarantees to encourage shoppers to buy via them.
Amazon’s own devices usually have some of the best discounts, so those on the lookout for a Kindle, Echo Dot or Fire tablet could save up to £50.
Fashion, alcohol and kitchen items will be discounted by up to 30 percent, while major appliances will have up to 35 percent off.
