Forget Prime Day — the Amazon Big Spring Sale is just hours away. The six-day event kicks off on March 20 and promises hundreds of deals on all things spring related. Best of all, unlike Prime Day, the Big Spring Sale is open to all shoppers.
I've been covering retail events for 17 years. That includes hundreds of spring sales, not just from Amazon, but from competitors like Walmart, Target, and Best Buy. Although Amazon's sale technically starts tomorrow, there are plenty of great deals you can get right now. Below I've rounded up 33 of the best early deals you can get ahead of Amazon's event. These are sales that will likely not get cheaper in the days to come.

Adidas Unisex Adilette Slides Sandals: was $25 now $12 @ Amazon
I own these sandals and they're great for various uses: at the beach, at the gym locker, or for walking around the house. They feature a contoured footbed that makes them comfy to walk in and their hook-and-loop bandage upper dries quickly, so you can get them wet and they'll dry rapidly.

In Yoshi's Crafted World you'll explore beautifully stitched together levels hunting secrets and collecting wearable costumes that give you unique abilities. This is a great Switch game for the little ones. Just be sure to note that this deal is on a Digital Code rather than a physical copy of the game. You'll need to download it.
Echo Dot for Kids (5th gen): was $59 now $39 @Amazon
Little ones are becoming more tech savvy every day, and it's never too early to treat your kid with an adorable Echo Dot disguised as either a dragon or owl. Not only will this make a great addition to your child's bedroom, it's also designed to read bedtime stories from Disney, Warner Bros., DreamWorks, and others (with parental controls, of course).

Skechers Women's Dazzling Haze Slip Ins: was $75 now from $59 @ Amazon
These are the best Skechers slip-ins we've tested, so they're the ones to get if you want a super easy way to put your shoes on. They're lightweight, stretchy and breathable.

TV sale: deals from $89 @ Amazon
Amazon has smart TVs on sale for as low as $89. Keep in mind, the cheap TVs tend to be smaller, 1080p models (which are more suitable for a children's room or guest room).

Sony WH-1000XM4: was $348 now $248 @ Amazon
They may be a generation old, but the Sony WH-1000XM4 are still a great pair of headphones. In our Sony WH-1000XM4 review, we found these headphones offered great performance, superior comfort, and had impressive battery life of up to 38 hours playback. Despite being superseded by the XM5, they continue to rank as one of the most popular over-ear ANC designs on the market. This isn't the lowest price we've seen on these (they've been $20 cheaper before), but they're a steal at this price. Note that Walmart has them for a few bucks less, but they ship via a third-party merchant.
