Prime Big Deal Days are October 6–7. I’m sorting through the deals with dance season in mind and keeping the finds worth checking in one easy place.

Prime Day is coming, but before we start shopping, let's look at what actually went on sale last time. I'm using my past Prime Day finds plus my October–December dance expense calendar to decide what is worth watching this time.

We know competition season is coming. We also know Black Friday is coming. So why aren't those two calendars talking to each other? That's the idea behind 5, 6, 7, and Shop!—my new way of looking ahead at dance expenses and deciding when it actually makes sense to shop.
