Are Prime Day deals better than Black Friday or Cyber Monday?
Black Friday and Cyber Monday are expected to offer some bigger deals on apparel, mattresses, and direct-to-consumer goods, but Prime Day sales like Amazon’s Prime Big Day Deals event are particularly great for finding all-time low prices on items like smart home devices and various Amazon-branded goods and services.
