Are Amazon Prime deals worth it?

Depending on what you're looking for, the short answer is yes. There will be thousands of items discounted, and we expect some deals to return or reach record low prices. Since Amazon inventory can fluctuate greatly, it is impossible to say how long the item will remain on sale or be available.

Will other retailers launch anti-Prime Day sales?

Every Prime Day event brings big savings to Amazon, and that means Amazon's competitors are also offering discounts to attract customers. This October will be no different. We're already seeing deals like Walmart's Holiday Deals sales event, which happens to start on the same day as Prime Big Deal Days.

Here's how we choose the best Amazon Prime Big Deal Days deals

Many of us here at CNET have been covering shopping events for more than five years, including Black Friday, Prime Day, Memorial Day and countless other sales. During this time, we've learned how to spot the best deals in a sea of ​​thousands of shallow deals and scams, and we only surface the best deals from trusted retailers. When choosing the best deals to show you, we look for real discounts, quality ratings and remaining sales time.

• Real discounts mean real savings. We review the price history for products that are on sale so we know if it is an inflated list price rather than an actual discount.
• Quality reviews and testing are extremely important for every product. A discount isn't worth it if it results in a substandard product experience, no matter how much you saved.
• The remaining selling time is also important. Some offers are valid for a short time only or may have limited availability. If this is the case, we will inform you in advance so that you do not return to the offer later and be disappointed.
