Amazon will host a spring sale next week with discounts on seasonal items, and this one is not restricted to Prime members. Amazon said Thursday that the event, which it's calling the "Big Spring Sale," will run for six days starting March 20, in North America.

The subscription program costs $139 per year, or $14.99 a month, in the U.S., and perks include free, speedy shipping; video streaming; and access to exclusive Prime Day deals. The company is launching its spring event as shoppers, grappling with high inflation, remain hungry for discounts.

Amazon said Tuesday it rang up "record-breaking" sales in the run-up to Cyber Monday as consumers, still pinched by inflation, sought discounts. The company said the period from Nov. 17 to Cyber Monday marked its "biggest ever" holiday shopping event compared to the same 11-day stretch last year. Amazon, which did not disclose actual sales figures, added that shoppers worldwide bought more than 1 billion items during the period. Retailers and analysts were cautious heading into this year's holiday shopping season. While consumers have remained resilient, grocery prices remain high, and the resumption of student loan payments has eaten into some shoppers' holiday budgets.
