Prime Day is here, and we’re updating this story hourly. To find the best deals in every category, follow all of our Prime Day coverage.
It’s officially Prime Day again. This time, Amazon’s big sale event is called Prime Big Deal Days, and it lasts from October 6 through the end of the day October 7 (2:59 a.m. ET the following day, if you’re being specific). As per usual, a seemingly endless number of products are on sale — and that’s why our team is going through them with a fine-tooth comb to determine which deals are actually worth your time and money.
There are deals in every price category, but the under-$50 group is especially compelling. I’ve spotted several of our favorites, including Best in Class home and kitchen products, clothing from classic brands like Levi’s and Madewell, and some nice things for pets too. But I’d pay particular attention to a couple of areas: beauty and household essentials. So many great skin-care products, from reader-loved serums to cult-classic lip balm, are on sale, so it’s a smart time to buy your favorites. And necessities like laundry detergent, office supplies, sunscreen, and toothpaste are a fraction of the cost — stock up while prices are low.
I’ve tried to include products that we’ve written about before and/or items that have a great markdown (around 20 percent minimum). Rest assured, everything here has either been tested by us, recommended by an expert, or is extremely cheap.
For even more deals, here’s our master list of all the best deals.

Clothes and accessories
A bunch of great basics are also on sale on the fashion front. It’s a good time to get white tank tops and plain long-sleeves from some of our favorite brands, including Madewell, Gap, and Free People. But there are also some nice jeans on sale, including Levi’s in different cuts and washes. Plus classic underwear, slides for summer (or errands), and a couple cold-weather accessories.

Kitchen
While there isn’t much under $50 in the cookware and appliances realm, there are many great deals on small utensils and gadgets, including the KitchenAid oven mitts writer Bella Druckman recommends. Also, some good bets for your pantry and fridge, like a 12-pack of Poppi.

Health and household essentials
Another good category to stock up on during Prime Day is necessities, such as toothpaste, COVID tests, and mosquito-repellent bracelets. I’d also particularly recommend the omega-3s, which are usually expensive and make an impact on your brain and eye health.

Travel and outdoors
A handful of useful items are on sale, including one of our oft-discussed neck fans and a solid travel umbrella. Don’t ignore the packing cubes — they’re truly one of the best ways to organize a suitcase.
Kids
There’s something for every age, from Melissa & Doug play food to LEGO sets to tween card games (including picks from the Strategist Toy Hall of Fame). It’s also a smart time to buy kids’ clothes; the Columbia fleece is cute and useful for the fall.
