October Prime Day is officially here! Because scrolling can get tedious, we’ve dug through Amazon Canada to find the best discounts on gifts for the holiday season and beyond, and here are our favourite finds. There are speakers, portable blenders, and a ton of other treasures you’ll probably be thrilled to save a few bucks on.
Amazon Prime Big Deal Days will start on October 8th and run through October 9th, so it’s actually two full days of savings. The event is exclusively for Prime members, but even those without memberships will also be able to snag some awesome deals.
First things first, you’ll want to sign up for an Amazon Prime account. Most deals are exclusive to Prime members, and you definitely won’t want to miss out. You’ll have the added benefit of seeing your orders arrive on your doorstep lickety-split (you can get free 1-day delivery on many items in most cities, with no minimum purchase required). It costs $99 a year (plus tax), but students can get it for only $49 (plus tax). If you’ve never tried it out, you can sign up for a 30-day trial period (seriously, now’s the time).
The benefits of your Amazon Prime account aren’t limited to Prime Big Deal Days, though. With your membership, you’ll have access to other Amazon services, like Amazon Music and Prime Video, where you can watch Amazon Original series and more. It’ll also give you access to Prime Reading, where you can read a regularly updated selection of books for free.
