When Is Amazon Prime Day 2021: What Every Shopper Needs to Know

Back on track for summer savings

If you’ve been waiting with bated breath for this year’s Prime Day, buckle up! The most exciting online shopping ride of the year is almost here. This year’s 2021 Amazon Prime sale is slated for June 21 and 22, offering Prime members two full days to shop their hearts out for must-haves in just about every category the site has to offer. Over two million sales will include best-selling tools, electronics, vacuums, patio essentials and lots more.

“Amazon Prime Days started back in July of 2015 as a way to commemorate Amazon’s 20th anniversary. It was initially one day but grew to a two-day event that occurred every year in early summer until the pandemic threw things off course,” Trae Bodge, a smart shopping expert, explains. “In 2020, Prime Day was a two-day event in October but is thankfully back on track for this June. What’s also notable is that many other retailers, including Walmart and Target, offer competitive sales events that overlap with Prime Day.”

The deals won’t be limited to just Amazon-label products. Almost everything the site offers will be offered at promotional pricing over the two-day bargain bonanza. Amazon is also offering incentives to shop small businesses and Black-owned and women-owned merchants. But! You need to be an Amazon Prime member to cash in on the deals. Here’s where to get a free 30-day trial and below is everything you need to know about Amazon Prime Day 2021.
