Amazon is holding its annual Big Spring Sale, one of the year's most significant early sales events. The yearly event is Amazon exclusive, but you don't need a Prime membership to get the best deals (though one can save you a lot on shipping costs). It's an excellent opportunity to stock up on spring cleaning essentials, shop overstock items that Amazon discounts to make room for new models, and upgrade your smart home.

When is Amazon's Spring Sale 2025?

The Amazon Big Spring Sale is happening from March 25 through March 31.

Are deals really better during Amazon sales?

While there are no guarantees that the prices you see are the lowest ever, Amazon -- and the various retailers and sellers it works with -- tends to keep promotions as competitive as possible. That's why you can expect discounts that match all-time-lows -- or at least somewhere near them.

How did we choose these Spring Sale deals?

While it's always helpful when products are discounted significantly (we usually cover ones that are at least 20% off), ZDNET experts also prioritize promotions on products we've personally tested and can vouch for. Since the products you purchase are considerable investments, we ensure that our recommendations are grounded by thorough research, testing, and value.We also source reviews from actual customers, whether through Best Buy and Amazon testimonials (with hands-on images) or online forums like Reddit.
