Amazon Prime Day vs Black Friday
Now for the big question: Prime Day vs Black Friday – which is better? As usual, the answer is not as simple as it seems.
For instance, you may think that Prime Big Deal Days is the longer of the two; running across two days while Black Friday is just one holiday (this year Friday 28th November). However, in the last decade Black Friday has expanded to encompass pretty much the whole of November, with deals popping up throughout the entire month.
So what's the real difference? Often it's down to the products and what you're after. Unsurprisingly, Amazon Prime Day is best time to scoop up an Amazon-owned product, this year we've seen huge discounts on Amazon Echo's, Amazon Fire Sticks, Kindles, Ring Doorbells, as well as Amazon's streaming services like Prime Video and Amazon Music.
It's worth bearing in mind that Black Friday is across all retailers while Prime Day is an Amazon-only occasion.
Last year's Black Friday spanned everything from fashion and toys to gaming. We saw record-breaking discounts on the PS5 and Meta Quest 3, plus savings on larger goods like fridges and TVs.
If that trend continues, then Black Friday will be the perfect time to pick up a new piece of furniture or games console, while Prime Day is the moment to stock up on any day to day tech gadgets or counter-top items you've had your eye on.
