Best Times to Buy on Amazon According to Monthly Sales

Updated 14.05.2024.

The best time to buy on Amazon is any time.

The retail giant offers sales and deals every day of the year. For every category of products, there’s a time of the year when prices are slashed. When you know what’s on sale every month of the year, you will always pay the lowest price. 

No one has the time to track Amazon products and wait for the price to drop. But if you know in advance that sunglasses go on sale in March, then you will invest some time during March to chase down the lowest price for your favorite pair of shades.

 

So we spent some time tracking down records of past sales on Amazon, and on account of that compiled this guide of best times to buy on Amazon.

 

What’s on sale this month on Amazon?

January Sales on Amazon 

In January Amazon and 3-party sellers are offering decent discounts across all categories of products. However, some categories will be more discounted than others. 

Holiday decorations are priced lower in January than in any other month of the year.  

January also marks the beginning of sales on winter clothing.

Fitness equipment, calendars, planners, beddings, and tools will be marked down in January as well.

February Sales on Amazon 

At the beginning of February, right before the Super Bowl, TVs are discounted. You will not find TVs at such discounted prices again until November sales.

During February you can also find discounted products for babies on Amazon. Look for nursery essentials, baby gear, and toys.

But the star of the month is the Valentine’s Day Sale on Amazon. Look for jewelry, candles, bath essentials, gift baskets, chocolates, high-end cosmetics. All these products are usually marked down in the days leading up to Valentine’s Day.

March Sales on Amazon 

March is the time when winter clothing discounts really hit their peak on Amazon. You can find steep discounts of above 50% on all winter clothes and especially winter sports clothes. Be sure to check Amazon Outlet for the lowest prices.

If you are not about chasing the latest trends then you can seize the opportunity to shop discounted last year’s models of sunglasses and luggage.

April Sales on Amazon 

Gardening products are marked down in April in preparation for the new gardening season. 

April 22 is Earth Day and that means sustainably produced, natural, and organic products go on sale this month on Amazon. Look for eco cleaning supplies, reusable household items, organic cosmetics, and baby care items.

Lastly, April is a good time to shop for video games which usually go on sale this time of year. 

May Sales on Amazon 

Beginning of May you can expect to find Pet Day Deals. Discounts will be available a few days prior to the Pet Day, they will change hourly.

You will also find some good deals around Mother’s Day, like beauty products, and other products intended for women.

Middle of May Amazon hosts a big book sale with up to 50% off books and up to 80% off ebooks. This is probably the biggest book sale you’ll ever find so it’s definitely worth checking out.

In May you can find countertop appliances discounted on Amazon. Look for coffee makers, food processors, blenders, juicers, toasters, waffle makers, mixers, slow cookers, fryers, and other kitchen appliances. 

In line with countertop appliances, if you like to grow your own herbs be sure to check out aerogardens that go on sale in May.

This month Amazon will also mark down some tech products during the Memorial Day Sale. Although, better offers will be a few months later.

June Sales on Amazon 

In June you can find deals on Father’s Day for products intended for men.

Other than that June is low on sales, which is no wonder since Amazon’s biggest sale of the year is just a month away.

You can still find regular Deal of the Day and Lightning Deals but no other big sales.

July Sales on Amazon 

The sale of all sales on Amazon is of course Prime Day. It is hosted in late June and it’s exclusively for Prime members. Although non-members can also find discounts a week prior to Prime Day and a week after. 

During Prime Day almost everything is on sale. Prices are slashed across all categories from electronics, home products, tools, toys, fashion, fitness equipment, beauty products, and pet products to books, software programs, art and craft supplies.   

But the biggest discounts you will find on Amazon-made/Amazon-owned products. Definitely check out AmazonBasics products, it’s a treasure trove of great deals. 

In July Amazon holds the Fourth of July Sale. During the sale, you can find reduced prices on many products from Lawn&Garden category like grills, barbecue supplies, and patio furniture. As well as other warm-weather products like cooling devices, and summer fashion. 

August Sales on Amazon 

The month of August is filled with end-of-season sales. It’s the time when all summer-related products are marked down. If you can think that far ahead, this is the time when you can get everything you’ll need for the next summer at incredibly low prices. 

This month Amazon has a Back-to-School Sale where you can find all school supplies (everything from stationery supplies, backpacks, lunch boxes to clothing), and electronics discounted.

September Sales on Amazon 

In September you can find the last of the season’s summer fashion and swimsuits heavily discounted, as well as athleisure fashion.

October Sales on Amazon 

The beginning of October is the last opportunity to shop for outdoor furniture, grills, and gardening tools at low prices. As well as camping gear like tents, sleeping bags, and cookware.

Considering the previous years, you should find prices on jeans slashed during October on Amazon. 

And don’t forget Halloween candy which is always on sale all month long.

During October Amazon holds the second Prime Day of the year. You can expect great deals on products from every category.

November Sales on Amazon 

November is an exciting month for shopping. This is the month of Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales. This means Amazon will be offering some pretty sweet deals. 

There are huge sales on just about anything, and the price is the lowest it will ever get for many items, especially those in the electronics category.

Now is the time to buy a laptop, tablet, smartphone, smartwatch, gaming gear, home appliances, tools, etc. 

And not just electronics, everything goes on sale during these November sales on Amazon. So make your Christmas shopping list and snag those deals.

Although you can find deals throughout the month, the biggest discounts will be available only on Thanksgiving (November 25.), Black Friday (November 26.), and Cyber Monday (November 29.).

December Sales on Amazon 

Beginning of December prices on everything always go up on Amazon. Simply because there is a big demand and sellers know everyone will be buying regardless of the price. Although you can still find an odd discount across most categories.

Last few days before Christmas, 21.-25., there are discounts on decorations and other holiday-related items.

Once Christmas is over you’ll find big sales on Christmas-related items (decorations, ornaments, and Christmas-themed household items) and toys. You will also find decent discounts on clothing, beauty products, household products, and electronics.
