What is Amazon Prime Day?

Amazon Prime Day is an annual shopping holiday that started in 2015 to commemorate Amazon’s 20th anniversary. Since then, the event has become Amazon’s biggest sale of the year, even bigger than Black Friday, with major discounts across all product categories. In other words, if you’ve got something on your shopping list, Amazon is probably selling it at a major discount during Prime Day.
