October Prime Day will be held on October 8 and 9 this year. October Prime Day is a members-only sale event run by Amazon in which the online retailer has thousands of sales on its site that are exclusively available to those with an active Prime members. October Prime Day will last two full days.

48-Hour Flash Sale: From Oct. 8 to 9, Best Buy's annual Flash Sale will offer big deals on TVs, gaming gear, laptops, monitors, and more tech. Again, this is the unofficial Prime Big Deal Days competition, and we're seeing nothing about a paid membership being required to participate in this one.

Prime Big Deal Days is nearly here, and if you want the deals to come to you, we’ve put together a few resources to help.
