Prime Day is officially back to it's normal slot in July, with Amazon revealing it will take place on July 12 and 13 this year.
Over the last few years – due to the pandemic and stock shortages – the date has moved from its traditional spot on the calendar.
In 2021 it took place in June, while in 2020 it was held much later in the year, in October.
The event is a great chance for Amazon Prime members to snap up big savings on items across all categories.
Thousands of price cuts will be rolled out over the two-day event, with mega offers on Amazon's popular own-brand devices among the highlights.
Amazon will also be teasing early deals from June 21, you can keep an eye on them as they launch by heading to the deals section on Amazon's website.
The online giant also offers various promotions around some of its most popular subscription services, such as Amazon Music and Amazon Video.

When is Amazon Prime Day 2022?
Prime Day will take place on 12-13 July.
In 2020, due to the pandemic, Prime Day took place at a much later date in October.
While in 2021 it was moved forward, taking place on June 21-22.
Prime Day deals tend to kick off at midnight and run until 11:59pm the next day, giving shoppers a whole 48 hours to snap up bargains.

Amazon Prime Day deals are only available for Amazon Prime members.
If you have never signed up for Prime, you can make the most of the 30-day free trial.

Where to find the best Amazon Prime Day 2022 deals?
The best place to find all the latest deals as they are launched is by heading to the Amazon Prime Day hub.
From there you will be able to filter through the categories that most interest you.
Amazon also recommend using their Watch List to spot any lightning deals that are only available for a limited time.
Shoppers can also download the Amazon app, set up deal alerts with Alexa devices, and sign up to the retailer's newsletters to stay in the loop.
What deals to expect for Amazon Prime Day 2022?
Deal-hunters will have two days to scout out the very best offers from Amazon.
It is too early to say whether Amazon will decide to tease shoppers with some early bird offers (although this has happened in the past).
Previously, some of the most popular categories with the biggest savings have been tech, gaming, Amazon own-brand devices, alcohol and beauty.
For instance, last year saw the Echo Dot 4th Gen slashed to £24.99 and Echo Buds dropped to £49.99, while the Apple iPhone 12 mini price was cut by £110 down to £639.
We also saw Shark's upright vacuum cleaner price cut to £183.99, saving shoppers a whopping £196 off.
For 2022, shoppers can expect massive price cuts across Amazon devices, with some deals kicking off from June 21.
The online giant has confirmed bargain-hunters will be able to save up to 55% on select devices, including Echo Show 5 (2nd Gen) and Echo Show 5 (2nd Gen) Kids, Kindle Paperwhite and Blink Video Doorbell.
It's also worth looking out for great value bundle deals on Amazon devices too while the sale is on to maximise your savings.
We also think it is likely for some key Apple products to feature in the discounts too.
With the arrival of a new MacBook and a new iPhone later this year, we may see some great offers on older models.
We could also see the classic AirPods and AirPod Max headphones also feature in price cuts too.
Household appliances and gadgets are also a popular option, so we're predicting that major brands such as Ninja, KitchenAid, Shark, Dyson and Tefal will no doubt be included in Prime Day savings.
