Calling all bargain hunters, we’ve got some exciting news to share with you: Amazon Prime Day will take place in July this year.

The retail giant announced the news yesterday when it released details of its first-quarter results, noting that the two-day shopping bonanza will offer savings on “products from national brands and small businesses across every category”.

The mid-summer date puts the sale event back to its traditional month. For the past two years, the retailer changed course on its major event. In 2020, it was moved to October owing to the pandemic, while in 2021, it was held in June as a result of the Olympics.

Last year saw small businesses benefit from the 48-hour sale event after the retailer offered a free £10 voucher to spend at thousands of start-ups. We expect to see something similar this year too.

With whopping discounts on everything from air fryers, robot vacuums, mattresses and beauty to Apple products, gaming consoles, laptops and other tech, it’s arguably one of the best sale events of the year.
