⚡ 1:55 p.m. PST: Lighting deals are still available
Amazon offers “lightning deals” as part of its Big Spring Sale. But don’t let the name make you jump into a purchase prematurely. Today, many of these deals have been available for hours — yet some are only 10% claimed. Take your time and weigh a purchase before you buy.
⚖️ 9:50 a.m. PST: Amazon vs. Target
It pays to shop around. Take this example. The Dyson V15 Detect cordless stick vacuum is on sale for $599.99 right now at Amazon. Over at Target, it’s being sold for the regular $849.99 price. It’s also $849.99 on Dyson’s website.

March 26
💵 10:20 p.m. PST: Here’s what I've purchased so far
Wondering which items are included in the discount event? Look for the red banner that says “Big Spring Sale.” I used the deals as an opportunity to buy things I would’ve already purchased — but at a discounted price.
For example, my daughter loves the Skillmatics Foil Fun craft set (in the Disney princess design). I usually pay $34.97 for the kit, but today I got it for $24.97. That’s a 29% discount.
I also snagged a pack of Easter face stickers for my daughter’s Easter basket. They’re usually $6.99, but on sale for $5.94. That’s a 15% discount.
My savings haven’t been huge, but I paid less than if I had shopped on a non-sale day. So I consider it a win.

What is Amazon’s Big Spring Sale 2026?
Amazon’s Big Spring Sale 2026 is like a toned-down version of summer’s Prime Day in July. The discounts aren’t expected to be as deep, but the spring sale lasts longer and focuses on seasonally relevant product categories.
Amazon describes it this way: “From end-of-season savings from Amazon Outlet and great deals on last-minute winter purchases to springtime must-haves and Easter finds for every budget, there's something for everyone.”
The sale is open to everyone, but it’s even better for Amazon Prime members. If you belong to Prime, keep an eye out for the “Prime Spring Deal” badge. That signals you’re getting exclusive savings that non-Prime shoppers can’t access.
Here are other key elements of the event:
- Daily deal drops: The sale won’t look the same each day. Amazon is dropping new deals during each of the seven days.
- Doorbuster deals: Some of the best deals are called “doorbusters.” These include 40% off fashion, beauty and electronics.
- AI support: Shoppers can lean on Rufus (Amazon’s AI assistant) to ask for price alerts and price histories.
And here are the sale categories to keep an eye on:
- Up to 50% off Amazon Outlet.
- Up to 40% off Easter.
- Up to 35% off kitchen and up to 25% off home.
- Up to 30% off lawn & garden.
- Up to 25% off grocery.
What is Amazon Outlet?
When you visit Amazon’s Big Spring Sale, one of the deal sections you’ll see is called Amazon Outlet.
Amazon describes Amazon Outlet this way: “Amazon Outlet is a great place for customers to shop for overstock deals, and clearance products. Outlet offers a wide selection of items, such as electronics, toys, beauty, and kitchen.”
At the time of this writing, we spotted Amazon Outlet deals on shoes, jeans, luggage, blankets, bedding and more.
