As reported by The Money Edit, Amazon is going to have a Prime Early Access Sale this week, three months after one of the biggest online shopping events, the Amazon Prime Day, which happened back in July.
Amazon’s Prime Early Access Sale
The sale will take place over a two-day period from 11 October to 12 October. This mega event will happen in the UK and US as well as the following countries: Austria, Canada, China, France, Germany, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Spain, Sweden and Turkey.
This sale is accessible only for Amazon Prime members. As of now, Amazon Prime membership cost £8.99 a month or £95 a year. You can also take advantage of the sale with the free 30-day trial Prime membership.
Exercise caution against being swept up in the sale
Amazon Prime Early Access Sale is a great way to get a head start on buying things you would be needing for the holidays or to buy practical or essential supplies for winter.
But as per the report by The Money Edit, it is important not to get too swept up in the adrenaline of finding great deals and exercise caution when it comes to spending money and budgeting.
In the report, a consumer rights expert advised people to exercise caution while shopping. They suggest people to check if the discounts really do really translate into savings or whether in fact, the items were available for even cheaper before the sales.
Some good sale-shopping practices advised by the report include, checking the price tag of items before the sale, comparing same products across different websites and to stick to a well-thought-out shopping list.
