Amazon has kicked off the holiday shopping season Tuesday with its much-anticipated Amazon Prime Day.
The e-commerce giant is holding its annual Prime Day Tuesday and Wednesday, Oct. 13 and Oct. 14, after postponing the shopping event from its typical July dates due to the coronavirus pandemic. It’s the first time in Prime Day’s five years that it will be held in the fall, but the deep discounts on hundreds of items are slated to be just as enticing as ever.
With the Prime Day falling so close to the holidays, it forges more competition with traditional retailers, such as Target, Walmart and Best Buy, that target online shoppers with unbeatable discounts around this time of year.
Amazon has a number of deals on electronics, home goods and more. Here are some of the top deals to look out for Tuesday and Wednesday:
