If you’re looking for style and grooming deals, last year, brands like Levi’s, Adidas, and Carhartt showed out with incredibly low prices. On the men’s clothing front, you’ll find a lot of basics on sale, which means it’s a good time to scoop up closet staples like underwear. Multi-groomers from the likes of Philips Norelco and Braun are also one sale.
Finally, home and kitchen products—from cordless Dyson vacuums to top-rated coffee makers—also see big price drops during the sales event. So whether you’re looking for a new air fryer, Wi-Fi extender, MacBook, robot vacuum, mattress, SSD, or bedding set, Prime Big Deal Days is a solid time to buy.
How long do the deals last?
Amazon Prime Big Deal Days 2024 will be held for two days (October 8 and 9 this year). As far as deals go, they’re released throughout the day—including Lightning Deals, which run only for a limited time or until stock sells out. In addition to many deals rolling over into day two, expect a new set of deals to land on day two with more of the lowest prices we’ll see ahead of Cyber Week.
Do you need to be a Prime member to shop Amazon Prime Day?
Amazon Prime Big Deal Days is reserved only for Prime members. In addition to free two-day shipping and same-day delivery, access to the two-day Prime Day event is one of the best benefits of a Prime membership.
Word to the wise: If you’re not yet a Prime member, you can sign up for a free 30-day trial, which will give you access to the event. After Amazon’s October Prime Day, there’s nothing stopping you from canceling your membership.
Do other retailers participate in Prime Day?
Over the years, Prime Day and Prime Big Deal Days have gotten so popular that they’ve forced the hand of many other retailers, and there are many competing sales—many of them with the same products available during the sales events—to shop if you’re not a Prime member. (Peep places including Best Buy, Walmart, and Target.)

Hermès
Terre D’Hermes Eau Intense Vetiver Eau De Parfum
Even sans discount, it’s hard to resist the allure of Terre D’Hermes, a landmark scent blessed by the first name in age-old French craftsmanship. Earlier this year, GQ contributor Adam Hurly called this exact version the “best best expression of Hermès’ iconic cologne,” one of only two fragrances he’s used to the last drop. “It’s a reliable, invigorating, and head-turning masculine scent that’s perfect for all scenarios and seasons,” Hurly says—“and it should be triple the price.”

In our guide to the best colognes of 2024, GQ contributor Adam Hurly specifically touted its easy-going vibe: “When all I want to throw on is a beefy hoodie and shades,” Hurly noted then, “it’s mine to enjoy.”
