Prime Day usually spells big deals on tech (think phones, tablets and smartwatches) and home products (like air fryers and espresso machines). With your subscription, you'll also receive access to Amazon Prime Video, Amazon Music Prime, discounts at Whole Foods, on Amazon Alexa products and even more perks. You won't just get free shipping with your Prime membership. If you're a student, you can get a Prime membership for $69 a year, or $8 a month, and if you qualify for government assistance programs the monthly subscription price drops to $7. A standard Prime membership will run you $139 a year, or $15 a month.
If you want to take advantage of any remaining deals, you'll need to sign up for Prime. If you're looking to save big ahead of the holidays, it still could be a good time to take the plunge on a Prime membership, even if the October Prime event is has ended. This story is part of Amazon Prime Day, CNET's guide to everything you need to know and how to find the best deals.
