a little over a month We told you that Amazon is preparing a new Prime Day for this year 2023and that it will be held sometime in the month of October. The online shopping giant once again played a trick to keep some suspense, as it told us at the time what month the event would take place, but reserved for a later release the specific date when it will take place. in this way with doubts.

Well, today was the day the company chose to clear up the mystery. So as we can read on her official blog, Amazon Prime Day October 2023 will take place on October 10 and 11, Tuesday and Wednesday of the second week of next month, a little less than a month. Therefore, and especially if you planned to buy soon, it may be a good idea to wait until these dates arrive, as you can save a few euros.

In case you don’t know what it consists of, Prime Day is an event exclusively for Amazon Prime subscribers, where we find some of the most interesting offers. We’ve seen this on previous occasions, and as a general rule, there are notable deals, in some cases on products that won’t be marked down that much later on Black Friday. Now, as always in these cases, it is advisable to follow a number of best practices so that the situation does not get out of hand.

The most suitable thing is without a doubt start and stick to the list in which you add only what you really need (well, and if that’s the case, also some whimsy). This document should be like the shopping list you go to the supermarket with when you’re hungry, you know, the one that prevents the shopping cart from ending up full of compulsive purchases caused by specific stimuli (hunger in the case of the supermarket and the sense of savings in the case of Prime Day) .

It’s also a good idea keep an eye on the price of those products, especially the most expensive ones you are thinking of buying on Prime Days. There are still quite a few sellers who artificially raise prices a few days or weeks before a sale to restore their normal price during the sale, pretending to have a discount that isn’t really the case.

Based on planned purchases Set a budget and try to stick to it by all means. Of course, nothing happens if you exceed a few euros, but always within the order. And if you find that the money you planned to spend is not enough for everything you want to buy, remember that in a few weeks November will arrive and with it the Black Friday sales.

As we have already indicated and its name reminds us, Amazon Prime is an exclusive event for subscribers of Amazon Prime, an Amazon service that includes free shipping, but also many other benefits. So if you find interesting discounts, the cost of the subscription will be more than amortized by what you save on the price of the purchases made. And if it’s clear to you that you’re only going to use Prime for this event, here’s a reminder from Amazon itself you can shop on Prime Day with a free Prime trial.
