Editor’s note: October Prime Day has officially started, so we’re no longer updating this early deals post. You can findall the best October Prime Day deals (in every category) here, and you can find all ourPrime Day coverage here.
Amazon officially announcedthat this year’s Prime Big Deal Days — which our team internally refers to as October Prime Day — will take place on Tuesday, October 7, and Wednesday, October 8. And as ever,early Prime Day dealsare already afoot.
A lot of so-called “early Prime deals” are things that were already on sale in the past week or so, now with new marketing. But I’ve gone over everything with a fine-tooth comb and found a few discounts that are actually worth your coins if you’d like to shop before the event begins tomorrow. And as always,sign up for the Strategist newsletterso you don’t miss a single deal.
