Mashable's Shopping team has been covering Amazon Prime Day since 2018, and this year, we've got our work cut out for us. The retail giant just announced that it's extending its flagship members-only sale to four days for 2025.
Granted, the name "Prime Day" hasn't been applicable since 2019, when Amazon decided to turn it into a 48-hour event. Still, four days of deals means Prime Day 2025 is the longest Prime Day ever. (We can see Amazon's logic here: Many tariff- and inflation-weary shoppers are in dire need of some really good summer deals.)
Here's what we think you should know before Prime Day kicks off in July.
Prime Day is an annual sitewide sale open to paid and trial members of Amazon's Prime subscription service. First held in 2015 in honor of Amazon's 20th anniversary (with mixed success), it was originally plugged as a "one-day-only event filled with more deals than Black Friday." In the years since, it's morphed into a longer affair that's preceded by weeks of preview offers. Prime Day is a misnomer.
For the past three years, Amazon has hosted an additional two-day sale for Prime members in October, teeing up its Black Friday festivities. (The 2022 version was called "Prime Early Access Sale," and it was renamed to "Prime Big Deal Days" in 2023.) However, the summer iteration of Prime Day is still Amazon's marquee sale.
Prime Day runs from Tuesday, July 8 through Friday, July 11 in 2025, with new deals dropping as often as every five minutes at certain points during the event.

While it's longer than past Prime Days, this year's sale still comes at the usual time: Amazon has a historical preference for mid-July slots with Tuesday start dates. For reference, Prime Day 2022 was live from July 12 to 13, Prime Day 2023 ran from July 11 to 12, and Prime Day 2024 fell on July 16 and 17.
Prime Day 2025 will officially start at 3:01 a.m. ET (12:01 a.m PT) on July 8, but as mentioned earlier, Amazon is offering a selection of early Prime Day deals in the lead-up to the main event. (We've already rounded up some of the best ones below.)
Prime Day 2025 will conclude at 2:59 a.m. ET on Saturday, July 12, aka 11:59 p.m. PT on Friday, July 11. Some deals may linger past that deadline, but don't count on it.
Amazon is introducing new themed daily drops called "Today's Big Deals" for Prime Day 2025. According to a press release, these limited-time offers will involve "some of the most exciting deals of the event" and feature well-known brands like Samsung and Levi's. They'll go live every day at 3 a.m. ET (12 a.m. PT) during the sale and hang around "for a limited time, while supplies last."
The best pre-Prime Day deals usually go to Amazon's own devices and services; the retail giant likes to keep things in the family. At the time of writing, we spotted discounts of up to 50% off Fire TVs and accessories, up to 56% off Blink home security equipment, up to 54% off Fire tablets, and up to 36% off eero mesh WiFi devices.

You have to be a Prime member in order to shop Amazon's Prime Day deals. But if you don't want to commit to a monthly or annual paid subscription, you can still participate by scheduling a free 30-day trial of Prime around the sale. (If you're a student or between the ages of 18 to 24, that free trial is six months long.) Just remember to cancel your membership as soon as Prime Day is over to avoid getting charged.
Other retailers traditionally hold competing sales around Prime Day, and this year is no exception. Be sure to cross-check Amazon's deals with their listings in case they decide to match or one-up its prices.
Best Buy's "Black Friday in July" sale will run from Monday, July 7 to Sunday, July 13, bookending Prime Day with three extra days of savings. A rep for the electronics retailer tells Mashable that the event will feature "deals on TVs, laptops, headphones, video games, electric bikes, and more," including some new limited-time "Doorbusters" on popular tech. (You may recall that Best Buy first introduced the Doorbuster format last year during its actual Black Friday sale.)
SEE ALSO: Best Buy's 'Black Friday in July' sale will overlap with Prime Day, shocking no one
Best Buy's Black Friday in July deals won't be exclusive to paid members of its My Best Buy program, but said members will receive special bonus rewards on certain purchases during the sale. Those rewards are live now through the final day of the event.
A Target Circle Week sale will also overlap with Prime Day this year. The event is set for July 6 to 12, per a company rep, and Target Circle 360 members will get early access to the deals on July 5.
Meanwhile, Walmart is hosting a six-day Walmart Deals event alongside Prime Day from July 8 to 13 (with five hours of early access for paid Walmart+ members starting July 7 at 7 p.m. ET). Its discounts will be available both in stores and online, which is a first.
UPDATE: Jun. 25, 2025, 12:30 p.m. EDT This story has been updated with new details about members-only offers during Best Buy's Black Friday in July sale.
UPDATE: Jun. 20, 2025, 3:05 p.m. EDT Target initially shared the wrong dates for its Circle Week event, a company rep tells Mashable. The sale will be from July 6 to 12, not July 13 to 19. This story has been updated accordingly.

Wimbledon 2025: Coco Gauff is just 21 but already thinking about what to do after tennis
LONDON (AP) — To be clear, Coco Gauff didn't bring up the word 'star' during a recent interview with The Associated Press; the reporter did. So as Gauff began to answer a question about balancing her life as a professional athlete with her off-court interests, she caught herself repeating that term. 'I definitely didn't know how it would look like,' she began with a smile, 'before I got to be, I guess, a star — feels weird to call myself that — but I definitely did want to expand outside of tennis. Always. Since I was young.' She still is young, by just about any measure, and she is a really good tennis player — Gauff owns the Grand Slam titles and No. 2 ranking to prove it as she heads into Wimbledon, which begins Monday — but the 21-year-old American is also more than that. Someone unafraid to express her opinions about societal issues. Someone who connects with fans via social media. Someone who is the highest-paid female athlete in any sport, topping $30 million last year, according to with less than a third of that from prize money and most via deals with companies such as UPS, New Balance, Rolex and Barilla. Someone who recently launched her own management firm. And someone who wants to succeed in the business world long after she no longer swings a racket on tour. 'It's definitely something that I want to start to step up for post-career. Kind of start building that process, which is why I wanted to do it early. Because I didn't want to feel like I was playing catch-up at the end of my career,' said Gauff, who will face Dayana Yastremska in the first round at the All England Club on Tuesday. 'On the business side of things, it doesn't come as natural as tennis feels. I'm still learning, and I have a lot to learn about,' Gauff said. 'I've debated different things and what paths I wanted to take when it came to just stimulating my brain outside of the court, because I always knew that once I finished high school that I needed to put my brain into something else.' In a campaign announced this week by UPS, which first partnered with Gauff in 2023 before she won that year's U.S. Open, she connects with business coach Emma Grede — known for working with Kim Kardashian on Skims, and with Khloe Kardashian on Good American — to offer mentoring to three small-business owners. 'Coco plays a key role in helping us connect with those younger Gen-Z business owners — emerging or younger entrepreneurs,' Betsy Wilson, VP of digital marketing and brand activation at UPS, said in a phone interview. 'Obviously, she's very relevant in social media and in culture, and working with Coco helps us really connect with that younger group.' While Grede helped the entrepreneurs, Gauff also got the opportunity to pick up tips. 'It's really cool to learn from someone like her,' Gauff said. 'Whenever I feel like I'm ready to make that leap, I can definitely reach out to her for advice and things like that. ... This will help me right now and definitely in the long term.' ___ Howard Fendrich has been the AP's tennis writer since 2002. Find his stories here: More AP tennis:

In the previous month, homes had a median of 43 days on the market. Around 76 homes were newly listed on the market in May, an 8.6% increase from 70 new listings in May 2024.

The average can be skewed by one particularly low or high price.

Will The ‘Beautiful' Bill Increase The Deficit?
NEW YORK - FEBRUARY 19: The National Debt Clock is seen February 19, 2004 in New York City. ... More According to a Treasury Department report, the U.S. governments national debt, the accumulation of past budget shortfalls, reached a total of more than $7 trillion for the first time. (Photo by) The performative exchange of military strikes between Iran and the US means that a nuclear tipped hot war in the Middle East is off the cards for the moment, though the bad news is that a far greater crisis awaits. In the past five or so weeks prominent financiers – Ray Dalio, Jamie Dimon and even Elon Musk – have warned about the burgeoning fiscal deficit and the mountain of debt that the US (and other countries) has accumulated. A very decent blog post by Indermit Gill, the chief economist at the World Bank, outlines the viewpoint. Next week, there is a good chance that the Senate passes President Trump's budget, which according to the independent Congressional Budget Office (CBO) will swell the deficit by close to USD 3trn and push debt to GDP towards an unprecedented 125% in the next ten years Additionally, rumours that the next Federal Reserve chair will be picked soon by President Trump (Powell leaves in May 2026) has upset the dollar, making life even more difficult for foreign holders of US debt. What is interesting is not how gargantuan the world's debt load has become, but how few people care. Politics in the West has changed so much that it has neutered what used to be a political class who in a very Catholic way, pronounced themselves to be fiscally responsible. In the US, it used to be the case that a good number of Senators were what was called 'fiscal hawks', or had an aversion to large budget deficits, and an even greater aversion to resolving them through higher taxes (the US has only produced budget surplus twice – under Lyndon Johnson and then Bill Clinton – and in both cases taxes were raised). Paul Krugman has referred to deficit hawks as 'deficit scolds', because the spend more time warning about the dangers of the deficit than fixing it. Ronald Reagan, and the policy makers who surrounded him – namely James Baker, Nicholas Brady and Don Reagan, were fiscally conservative by reputation but had the luxury of being able to grow the US economy through tax cuts and de-regulation. At the time (early 1980's onwards) some Republicans had a 'starve the beast' mindset, which is to say that they favoured lowering taxes so that the government would have less revenue to spend, but there is little evidence that this worked as a strategy (partly because many of the initial Reagan tax cuts were aimed at the rich). In the post Reagan phase, deficit reduction as a virtue came into its own in the Robert Rubin era (at the Treasury), and many of his former colleagues and acolytes continued this during the early years of the Obama presidency (a relevant private body is the Hamilton Project, where Rubin was a founder). One of the notable initiatives of the Obama White House was the creation of the US National Committee on National Fiscal Responsibility and Reform or the Simpson-Bowles Commission as it became known, a bi-partisan body that aimed to reduce the fiscal deficit and debt. Its most noteworthy aspect, in my memory, was the degree of civility and collaboration between representatives of the Democrats and Republicans. Such a body could not exist today. Indeed, the radicalisation of parts of both parties, in the context of quantitative easing (which has dulled the impact of rising debt and deficits) has broken the link between fiscal responsibility and electability. For example, the first crack in the Republican edifice was the advent of the Tea Party Movement, one of whose tenets was tough fiscal responsibility, as inspired by a 'Chicago Tea Party' rant from CNBC commentator Rick Santelli in 2009. Many of the Tea Party oriented voters and Republican politicians then gravitated to the Trump corner in 2016, the price of which was a surrender of their fiscal sacred cows. Today there is only a handful of fiscally conservative Republican Senators (the Club for Growth publishes an annual scorecard of how fiscally rigorous it thinks members of the House and Senate are). The majority of Republican Senators appear happy to give the nod to a policy that edges the US closer to the financial precipice. Indeed, not only will the Trump budget favour wealthy households but it will increase the number of financially precarious households, and damage healthcare and education provision. The other interesting observation I draw is that the relationship between debt and politics has now reached a turning point, and from here debt will condition politics. I see this happening in at least three ways. The first is that in the context of 'zero fiscal space' the constraints imposed by high levels of debt and deficits, will drive new splits within parties, for example between those who are keen to spend more on defence, versus those who wish to preserve social welfare safety nets. The revolt by a large number of Labour MPs against benefit cuts imposed by Keir Starmer is an example. In the future, this cleavage may inspire new political parties. To echo a recent note (The Power Algorithm) new 'tech bro' parties could materialise that prefer using robots to do the work of immigrants and that technology should be deployed for social control. The second, related scenario is that in the absence of money to spend, the traditional 'pork barrel' cycle of politics disintegrates, and instead politicians tilt the broad political debate to non-fiscal issues – identity, foreign policy, and immigration. A third element in the hypothesis is that voters observe mainstream politicians to be helpless and useless in the face of very high fiscal constraints, and they become largely apathetic about politics and in some cases vote for extreme candidates, such as 'chainsaw economists' as in the case of Argentina. In this way, and perhaps exceptionally in history, the coming debt crisis (if the World Bank's economist is correct) will be intertwined with the current crisis of politics.
