Should you wait for Amazon’s next sale?

Amazon is known for regularly holding large, site-wide sales throughout the year, which begs the question: Should you buy now or wait until the online retailer’s next sale? It’s a good question. After all, Amazon has already announced that it will have another Prime Big Deal Days sale in October.

If you’ve got your eye on something and want to wait for the next sale, you can of course do that. However, there are some great prices on a variety of items during this Labor Day sale, including all-time low prices on some of them. However, if you want the absolute lowest prices and don’t have an urgent product need, it’s probably best to wait for Black Friday 2024, when Amazon (and other retailers) generally offer their lowest prices of the year.
