But those discounts only for amazon prime members not for normal customers. Usually, the Prime Day starts in mid-July every year. And so many people join amazon prime that day just to get those discounted products.

But in recent years in 2020 Amazon prime day was delayed due to the Covid-19 pandemic, and the date postponed to October 13-1.
