With spring on the way, it’s time to throw the windows open and get a fresh start. For the past two years, Amazon has launched its Big Spring Sale, a now annual event that brings major markdowns to warm-weather items ahead of the new season. This year, the Amazon Big Spring Sale is set for March 25 to 31.
Having covered Amazon’s Big Spring Sale since it began two years ago, we’re here to prep you on everything you need to know, including which deals will be available, early deals to shop today, and whether you need a Prime membership to shop the savings.
When is Amazon’s Big Spring Sale?
Amazon’s Big Spring Sale will span March 25 to 31 this year, which matches the same dates we saw last year. Amazon lists the sale as officially kicking off at 12:01 a.m. PT on March 25 and ending at 11:59 p.m. PT on March 31. But like all Amazon sales, you don’t necessarily have to wait until the official start date. Amazon is already listing early Big Spring Sale deals on items like robot vacuums, Amazon devices, and Apple tech.
What deals will be available?
Amazon’s Big Spring Sale is all about the transition from winter to spring. Last year, we saw deals up to 40% off across 35 different categories. The bulk of the deals focus on last-chance savings on cold-weather items, as well as early savings on warm-weather activities and spring-cleaning must-haves. However, deals span across other home and tech categories as well. This year, Amazon says we’re in for savings of up to 35% off kitchen and up to 25% off home goods.
Mashable Trend Report
Last year, we saw savings across all of Amazon’s device lineups: Echo, Fire TV, eero, and Kindle. In fact, the Kindle Colorsoft saw its first-ever sale last year. But will this sale beat Amazon’s Black Friday pricing? That’s still to be seen.
Do I need a Prime membership to shop Amazon’s Big Spring Sale?
Prime Day, Amazon’s flagship July sale, and Prime Big Deal Days, Amazon’s holiday season kick-off sale, both require a Prime membership to shop all of the savings. Amazon’s Big Spring Sale, on the other hand, doesn’t require a membership to shop. That being said, in previous years, we’ve spotted Prime-exclusive savings, so being a Prime member is still your best bet to taking full advantage of the sale.
Will other retailers have spring sales?
When Amazon launches a sale, it kicks off a game of follow the leader. All the other big retailers — Best Buy, Target, and Walmart — have historically launched spring sales around the same time as Amazon’s Big Spring Sale. No official sale announcements have come through yet, but we expect they’ll come soon now that Amazon has announced official dates.
What are the best things to buy during Amazon’s Big Spring sale?
An Amazon sale means some of the best savings will be on Amazon devices like Echos, Fire TVs, and Kindles, but the reach of its spring sale goes far beyond that. With the focus on the spring season, expect to see lots of savings on outdoor gear like furniture, grills, tents, and power stations. Plus, there will be plenty of classic big sale savings on TVs, laptops, headphones, and tablets.
