Get ready to shop and spend today as Amazon releases its Prime Early Access Sale.

News 12's consumer reporter Janice Lieberman has The Real Deal on what’s a good buy.

It’s the first time the online giant is hosting two huge Prime-only sales in one year. The sale runs Oct. 11- 12.  Amazon promises to knock off prices on hundreds of thousands of items.

Shoppers will be able to find a lot of tech deals, including on Amazon proprietary deals like Kindle and Amazon Fire.

Remember you do have to be a Prime member to cash in on the discounts. There is a free trial for 30 days if you want to check it out. Amazon Prime has lots of other benefits as well.

Before purchasing, you should create a wishlist - and track the prices to know if you are getting the best deal.

Hold off on buying laptops and other electronics until the real Black Friday - when you can shop and compare with the other retailers.
