The 59 Best Early Prime Day Deals, According to Our Deals Editor
In this article
Editor’s note: October Prime Day has officially started, so we’re no longer updating this early deals post. You can find all the best October Prime Day deals (in every category) here, and you can find all our Prime Day coverage here.
Amazon officially announced that 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 deals are 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 newsletter so you don’t miss a single deal.

If you want a hair dryer that comes with attachments, writer Dominique Pariso recommends the Shark SpeedStyle Pro. “Unlike the regular SpeedStyle, the Pro is foldable, a huge plus for storing and traveling, and the additional attachments made styling a breeze,” she writes. It has three power and three heat settings, but “I only used the lower heat settings for my blowout and found it still dried my hair in around 20 minutes,” Pariso says.

Best early October Prime Day health and wellness deals
Looks like we’ll have to wait for deals on usual suspects like electrolyte sticks and protein powder to go live tomorrow; everything that’s on sale in this category has to do with oral hygiene. But it’s all at basically the same price as during July’s Prime Day, so you’re safe to buy now.

Jackery makes some of the best portable power stations — good for charging and power on the go, like when you’re camping, but also for electrical outages (such as, say, during a snowstorm). One of its cheapest options, the 240 v2, is on sale; it can charge your phone, laptop, or speaker from five different ports, including AC and USB. But for even more power (and a much bigger discount), the 2000 v2 can power home appliances like a coffee-maker or even a refrigerator thanks to a 2,000-watt output.

What I predict will be on sale for Prime Day
We’ve rounded up over 100 things we anticipate will be on sale for October Prime Day, based on deals from Prime Days past — and now you can save them to your account for easier shopping on October Prime Day itself. But a sampling of my top picks is below. It’s a good bet that most of the products we featured last year will be on sale again. (And some might already by on sale by the time you’re reading this!) I’d also suggest that you bookmark big-ticket items, like air purifiers and other Vitamixes, as well as daily essentials like teeth whiteners and toothpaste. And since this is the holiday-gift-oriented version of Prime Day, there will definitely be tons of toys on sale.
