When does October Prime Day start?

How can I find the best deals?
Alerts via the Amazon app
One of the easiest ways to keep in the loop with deals is by setting up notifications. To do this, you need to head to the "Deal Alerts" section in the app (Your Account > Message Centre > Deal Alerts). From there, you can make your own alerts, as well as view any of Today's Deals. When the deal starts, your smartphone will get a notification.
Carefully read reviews
It might sound obvious but if you want a real idea of how a product works, what the quality is like, and whether it lives up to expectation, then giving the reviews a read before purchasing is always a good idea.
Create a wishlist
Do your research beforehand and make a list of the items you want the most. This way, you're less likely to buy impulsively (although, sometimes it can't be helped if there's a fantastic offer).
Use the item filters
The item filters on Amazon are a great way of narrowing down your selection based on everything from price, discount percentage, customer ratings and more.
In the interest of kicking things off early and preparing for Amazon's Prime Big Deals Day, here are the best early deals you can snap up now.

Long-term care facilities in counties where mandatory evacuations have been issued are taking their patients elsewhere, while hospitals are largely on guard, preparing to stay open through the storm.
