Sam has covered every Amazon sale for the Strategist the past two and a half years, so she knows when a deal is truly a good one (and when Amazon is just inflating the original price to make it seem like a better discount).

It's a really good time to save on things your home deserves, from cute decor to cozy bedding to must-have cleaning and kitchen items.

Amazon’s Big Spring Sale is the retail giant’s newest annual sale. It started in 2024 as a week-long sale with opportunities to save on outdoor items, cleaning products and other spring essentials. This year, the sale is back and it’s essentially a mini Prime Day, except the deals are available to all shoppers.
