Hopefully, you're done paying off your credit card bill from Amazon's October Prime Day sale, because the retailer is ready for another round—a spring sale that is underway right now.

Here is everything you need to know about Amazon's Big Spring Sale, including some tips on how to shop for it properly.

What is Amazon's Big Spring Sale?

Amazon's Big Spring Sale is the spring version of Prime Day, although it lasts longer and features less impressive deals. It's a seven-day sale, with deals focused on seasonal items, from winter- and spring-like apparel, to travel, sports, furniture, gardening, lawn, grilling, storage, and bedding supplies. (And, of course, tech, which is good for any season.) This is only the second time Amazon has run a spring sale, after debuting it in 2024.

When is Amazon's Big Spring Sale?

Amazon announced its Big Spring Sale will run for a full week, from March 25 through March 31, 2025.

Do you need to be a Prime Member to shop for Amazon's Big Spring Sale?

You do not need to be a Prime Member to shop Amazon's Big Spring Sale. However, according to Amazon, Prime Members will get more and better deals. Prime membership starts at $14.99 per month. You can calculate whether a yearly Prime membership is worth it for you, but remember that you can always cancel your Prime membership once the sale is over—Amazon offers free 30-day trials, so you can shop the whole week of the event and cancel before making a subscription payment.

What can you expect from Amazon's Big Spring Sale?

Because the Big Spring Sale happens in the spring, you're going to see end-of-season deals from Amazon outlet stores on winter items, but also on upcoming spring products. The deals seem to top out at 40% off. Here is an idea of what you can expect:

• Up to 40% off select outdoor furniture and gardening supplies

• Up to 35% off select lawn and grilling equipment

• Up to 35% off select home storage and bedding

• Up to 40% off select apparel and beauty

• Up to 40% off select sports and travel essentials

There will be "daily themes" for each day of the sale, and whatever the theme is for that day is where you can expect to find the best deals. We'll also be publishing the best deals we find all week, so make sure to keep tabs on our deals page throughout the sale.

Are there competing sales at other retailers?

Yes. Target announced its Circle Week event plans, which started on March 23 and runs until March 29. Walmart is also promoting its Super Savings Week, which runs from March 24 through Tuesday, April 1.

Some tips for saving during Amazon's Big Spring Sale

If this is your first time shopping in an Amazon sale, there are some basic things you need to know.

• You can share your Prime membership with family members even if they don't live with you.

• You can set price alerts for products you want and your Alexa devices can notify you when they go on sale.

• Price tracking tools can tell you if the deal you're looking at is good or not.

But if you only take one bit of advice for shopping on Amazon's Big Spring Sale, let it be this one: Don't buy anything you weren't going to buy anyway. A good way to control your impulse spending is to make a list of the products you do want ahead of time, and focus solely on those. And if you need to talk to a human from Amazon during (or after) the sale, this is the fastest way to do it.
