The month of October is often under-appreciated, or at least, the first few weeks of it are. Because of its associations with Halloween, many overlook that, really, all things considered, the first few weeks of October are about as good as it gets
Not as hot as the summer, but still warm enough to spend some time outside. Not as cold as November, but close enough to true Autumn that you might break out that sweater you’ve been dying to wear. It’s one of your best looks, and you know it.
In short, the weather’s perfect, and there’s no better time for a camping trip. Before you leave, though, it’s important to make sure you’ve packed all of your essentials, including the Jackery Explorer 1000 v2 Portable Power Station, available for 46% off this week from Amazon.
This Jackery Power Station is just one of the countless early deals Amazon is offering in advance of this October’s Prime Big Deal Days event, running from Tuesday, Oct. 7, to Wednesday, Oct. 8, per Amazon’s announcement.
Weighing in at under seven pounds, equipped with six output ports, and capable of charging to full battery from a wall outlet in 3.5 hours (and a car outlet in 5 hours), the numbers all add up on this portable power station — especially the price tag.
Stay powered anywhere with the Jackery Explorer 1000 v2 Portable Power Station. With a massive 1000Wh capacity, fast charging, and multiple ports, it’s perfect for camping, emergencies, or off-grid adventures. Lighter and more efficient than ever, it runs your devices quietly and reliably. Go further with Jackery, available for 46% off this week on Amazon.

This annual Amazon sale — which we like to call October Prime Day — is similar to the well-known July event: it’s a two-day blow out shopping event with deep discounts on bestsellers and everyday essentials. But the timing of this sale makes all the difference; shoppers can also score pre-Black Friday deals on top-rated toys and sell-out-risk gifts before the holiday rush.
Amazon’s fall Prime Day event only lasts two days. This sale starts on Tuesday October 7 at 12:01 a.m. PT and runs through Wednesday October 8 at 11:59 p.m. PT.
Prime Big Deal Days 2025 ends on Wednesday October 8 at 11:59 p.m. PT, so east-coasters have until about 3 a.m. on October 9 their time to shop the deals.
Prime Big Deal Days is a member-exclusive sale event. Interested shoppers can grab a 30-day free trial to try Prime, and its many benefits, with no strings attached.
Already familiar with July Prime Day? Then you’ll love Amazon’s fall version! Like its summer spectacular sale, Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days offers major discounts for 48 hours, but with a bigger focus on holiday gifts, toys and tech to shop ahead of Black Friday and Cyber Monday.
From reporting on Amazon sales for years, we can tell you for certain that October Prime Day is the ideal period to stock up on household essentials, score great deals on gift-worthy items and toys, take advantage of Black Friday-level discounts on tech and appliances, refill your skincare empties, and comb through the massive catalog of Amazon best-sellers.
We certainly think so! October Prime Day is a great chance to score Black Friday-worthy deals on thousands of best-sellers, including everything from big-ticket tech to Post reader-favorite trash bags. Our team diligently sorts through all the offers to find you the very best items to grab on sale.
Already wondering when Amazon’s next Prime Day is? Prime Day takes place in July each year, so it’s safe to assume it will take place in mid-July 2026 — similar to previous years. Can’t wait to shop more Amazon deals? Look out for Amazon’s Black Friday sales to kick off the holiday season in November.
