In addition, you can sign up for a 30-day free trial to take advantage of all that Amazon Prime has to offer, including access to Prime Video, two-day free shipping (sometimes even one-day free shipping), discounts at Whole Foods Market, access to exclusive shopping events — like Prime Day and Black Friday — and more.

Every year, Amazon chooses two days in October to offer deep discounts to Prime members, with tens of thousands of products on sale. In addition to brands like Apple and Brooks, Amazon's own products typically go on sale. Be on the lookout for discounts on Echo speakers or a Fire TV.
