The Amazon Spring Sale is nearly upon us. Here’s everything you need to know about the sale, including our experts’ pick of the best deals out there so far.
There’s no two ways about it — the trees are blossoming, the flowers are blooming, the days are getting warmer and the nights are getting shorter. Spring is here.
And with spring comes the Amazon Spring Sale. This is a new sale from Amazon at the end of March which begins on Monday 27th.
Here at RadioTimes.com, we are experts at hunting for deals (if we do say so ourselves). We have years of experience covering other sales periods like Boxing Day, Black Friday and Amazon’s Prime Day, and we are here to help you cut through the noise and sort the deals from the duds.
There are lots of things to consider when you’re shopping in a sale. We all know things are financially tight right now, and in the words of the money saving expert Martin Lewis: “If you were going to buy it anyway, and it’s half price, great you’ve saved 50 per cent. If you weren’t going to buy it, but do it only because it’s half price, boo, you’ve wasted 100 per cent.” In other words, a deal isn’t a deal unless you were going to buy it anyway.
But sometimes it can be hard to identify what is a good deal. When we are searching for deals, there are a few things we take into account. Firstly there’s the amount of savings made. Here, you want to look at the percentage you’re saving as well as the amount of money off, as that’s where you get a truer sense of the offer. The best deals are on the most recently released products. For example, we might expect to see a lot of last year’s phone releases discounted since newer models have just come out.
Read on for everything you need to know about the Amazon Spring Sale, including the best deals available right now.
What is the Amazon Spring Sale 2023?
The Amazon Spring Sale 2023 is a three day sales period which Amazon is hosting. This is the first time that Amazon has had a spring sale, so we’ll be keeping an eye out to find the best deals for you – and we’re not the only ones.
TV presenter Rylan Clark has teamed up with the retailer to help shoppers find the best deals out there. He’ll be hosting a social media series to highlight the best offers, where in the style of Springwatch he tells shoppers: “In the Amazon Spring Sale, there’ll be something for ewe.”

There are a big sales periods throughout the year, the main ones being Black Friday and the January sales. Over the last few years, we’ve seen Amazon launching several Prime Days which have been single day sales periods. In 2022, there was one in July and one in October.
Amazon Spring Sale 2023 UK dates: when do the deals start?
The deals for the Amazon Spring Sale start at 6pm on Monday 27th March, but there are usually some prices which get reduced a bit early and we’re expecting to see this occurring over the weekend, if not before.
We don’t want to brag but we are somewhat experts when it comes to hunting for deals. We’ll be keeping you updated on the best deals as they come in, but read on for the best offers which are happening right now.
How long does the Amazon Spring Sale 2023 last?
The Amazon Spring Sale lasts for three days, from Monday 27th to Wednesday 29th March.
Having said that, it’s likely there will be deals starting prior to the sale’s official kick-off, and continuing after it ends. We see this around many sales periods, particularly around Black Friday as retailers seek to keep prices competitive. This means retailers other than Amazon may also have items on discount during the Spring Sale, and that Amazon will likely keep its prices lower for longer in order to remain competitive.
What deals to expect from the Amazon Spring Sale 2023
With this sale we’re expecting to see a lot of deals with a focus on the cost-of-living crisis, so that means everyday and household items.
But if you’re anything like us, you’ll be on the search for the latest tech items to be discounted too, and we expect to see a number of offers, from phones and tablets to electric toothbrushes. Check out our Tech section for all the latest product guides and releases.
How to get the best deals in the Amazon Spring Sale 2023
First things first: do you research. If you have your eye on a particular product, read some reviews, familiarise yourself with the retailers which stock it, and get to grips with the price it usually retails for.
It can be tempting to wait until the end of the sale period to see if prices continue to go down, as there are few feelings worse than when you’ve paid full price for something and you see someone else manage to get it for less. But generally, we think this tactic is a bit risky. Not only can prices change without warning, but you could get caught out by stock issues which have plagued markets in recent months. Our advice for getting the best deal is to buy as soon as the product reaches a price that you’re comfortable with.
