Amazon Big Smile Sale 2025: the best 40+ deals on Day 1 of the week-long sale
Amazon's slashed prices on tech, appliances and more

Bargain shoppers, rejoice. Amazon's first sale of the year is here!
Amazon Big Smile Sale is the online retailer's next best exclusive event in Australia after Prime Day, with the latest event kicking off at 12am AEDT Monday, March 17, up until 11:59pm AEDT Sunday, March 23.
Typically, the Amazon Big Smile Sale is a recurring multi-day shopping event in Australia, with two sales events per year. The second sale often arrives in October, but in 2024, it was replaced with another Prime Day event lasting six days. Amazon must have taken inspiration from last October's sale, as this Big Smile Sale is running for a week — that's a seven-day deals fest!
Unlike its US and UK equivalent, which runs around the same time, Amazon's Big Smile Sale events don't require you to be a Prime member to bag a bargain, as discounts are usually available to everyone. As always, there are Prime member exclusive benefits too, like free and same-day shipping, so if you haven't already, you can sign up for a 30-day free trial here.
And much like the other major sales events we cover, we're going to be on deck throughout the entire sale bringing you the best Amazon deals live as they appear. Scroll on to find the best deals on Amazon's own devices, tech, appliances, lifestyle and more.
