The best Amazon Prime Day deals already live ahead of Big Deal Days, from Apple to Yeti

Mark your calendar for Oct. 7-8 — the fall edition of Amazon Prime Day promises to be one of the year's biggest savings events.

Britt Ross, Senior Deals Writer
Updated

Howdy, fellow deal lovers! Are you as excited about the return of Amazon Prime Big Deal Days as we are? You can call it "That Big Amazon Sale" or just "October Prime Day," but whatever you choose, one thing's for sure — you'll want to mark your calendar, as next week's event is slated to run for just two days. Carve out some time for retail therapy on Tuesday, Oct. 7, and Wednesday, Oct. 8 — that's when this savings extravaganza is taking place. Think of it as a Halloween pre-treat (and one that doesn't involve breaking the news to your child that, due to cold weather, they will have to wear a jacket over their costume).

First Prime Day rodeo? As a longtime shopping editor, I know a lot about wrangling the best bargains. I've answered some of the most frequently asked questions below, and be sure to pop back in as we get closer to the sale for more details. Oh, and if you want to get in some early-bird shopping, I've rounded up the best Amazon Prime Day deals I'm seeing as we speak.

The best early October Prime Day deals

Best early October Prime Day deals: Rare sales

"When I moved into my house six years ago, it came with a doorbell outside and an old-school chime inside — but neither had been hooked up in who knows how long. We needed a replacement, so we went with a Ring," says Senior Deals Writer Chris McGraw. "It was super easy to install, doesn't need to be charged all that often and the subscription is surprisingly cheap (though I am getting pretty sick of everything being a subscription these days)."

At a rare 50% off, it's within $2 of its all-time low.

Enjoying a warm breakfast on a busy morning has never been so easy, thanks to this contraption that'll make a bacon, egg and cheese without you having to wait at the drive-through. Just fill each tray with the essentials and any toppings you'd like, and it'll cook everything so that it's nice and melty by the time you've gotten dressed. This appliance doesn't go on sale very often, so grab it while you can save 30%.

This comprehensive kit is one of Amazon's most popular tooth-whitening products, thanks to its pro-level, smile-brightening effects. The pack comes with 22 treatments, with one upper and one lower strip for each sesh. With the new "advanced seal technology," these strips no longer slip, so you can drink water and even talk while using them. Just apply it over your teeth, leave it for about 30-45 minutes and voila! You'll start to notice a whiter smile in as little as three days, with the full effect in about 20.

This is the lowest price I've seen all year — yes, including Prime Day — so my advice? Stock up!

The best meals are the ones you can make by tossing all of the ingredients into one cooking vessel, then setting and forgetting. That's probably why the Instant Pot has become such a fan favorite — and this bestselling model, with its seven functions in one, is so versatile, it just might become your most-used appliance.

Make rice, sear chicken ... or heck, even whip up some yogurt in it. You'll be able to cook enough food to feed eight people, so I'll be awaiting my dinner party invitation. Oh, and this discount brings the price down to about as low as it's been all year.

You love your pets, but the shedding? Not so much. True to its name, reviewers say this model's a pro at sucking up their furry friends' hair from surfaces of all types, thanks to its bristled brushroll — but even if you don't count an animal among your housemates, you'll appreciate its lightweight design, strong suction and, at least for the time being, its price tag. It's an impressive 50% off (its best price of the year).

If you ask me, ice cream season lasts all year, and if the thought of making frozen treats at home is intimidating to you, these have your name on them. Really, they couldn't be easier to use — just make sure your mugs are frozen for at least 24 hours, then mix up your ice cream base (there's a recipe book included). Once your mugs are sufficiently chilled (you want them to be really cold), you'll add your base, turn 'em on and they'll start churning away. You can also add mix-ins of your choosing via the pour chutes while they're running, and in about 20 minutes, you'll have ice cream. Simple, right?

This duo rarely dips lower than this, so scoop 'em up for their lowest price in months.

True story: My toaster oven spared me from a Thanksgiving hosting disaster the year my full-sized oven stopped functioning. That said, the model I have doesn't double as an air fryer — but this one does. It's large enough to roast a 6-pound chicken and vegetables at the same time, or 20 cookies, or a 12-pound turkey, or ... yeah, it's pretty darn big. Is it cheap? No, but this deal slashes the price by about 35%, and markdowns larger than that are very rare.

Bye-bye, soggy bath mats: Yahoo readers are adding this ultra-thick, impossibly soft rug to their carts in droves. It's made of highly absorbent, quick-drying chenille microfiber that'll soak up excess water from your feet in a jiffy, and its plush texture will feel like heaven after your shower.

Staying hydrated is important all year, and this sought-after tumbler will quench your thirst on the go while keeping drinks cold or warm for hours at a time. It'll fit right in your car's cupholder, has a splash-resistant lid and, perhaps most importantly, is dishwasher-safe. Plus, Yeti is one of those brands that doesn't really need to have sales, so any time you see a discount, it's wise to pounce.

Got a sci-fi loving tot on your holiday list? Gifting Editor Amanda Garrity recommends this space-age set, which is down to a record low: "You'll uncover plenty of familiar faces in their holiday best — Jawa wearing his ugliest Christmas sweater and BB-8 disguised as a snowman, to name a couple — along with 14 droids and all the makings for a covert workshop."

Yeah, I did a double-take when I saw the price, too — and the fact that these are Amazon's No. 1 bestselling leggings? Sold! Everyone needs a pair of these come boot season, since they can slide right into styles narrow and wide, and is there a more classic (not to mention, comfy) fall uniform than a slouchy sweater worn over these stretchy pants? I think not. Grab a pair (or 10) while they're down to their lowest price yet.

Those floppy headrests you're sleeping on aren't doing your neck any favors, but you can snag this plush, supportive pair for its lowest price to date (45% off — Prime members will see the full discount at checkout).

Yes, this sleek wallet has style, but its RFID-blocking capabilities also provide peace of mind by protecting sensitive information inside. Senior Deals Writer Carrie McCabe is a fan, saying, "It fits the world in there and still stays pretty skinny ... a ton of cards actually do fit in there, and it'll snap closed." It would make a fab stocking stuffer, and it's down to a record low in select colors.

All-time-low price alert! Robovacs are great, but for a truly hands-off experience, you'll want a self-emptying model: This top-seller has a collection bin that can hold up to 30 days' worth of dust and debris. That means you could go as long as a month without having to clean it out, saving you even more time.

It's powerful enough to zap up everything from the kids' crumbs to Fido's fur, and its 360-degree LiDAR vision allows it to sense and move around any larger objects and furniture it comes across. The Matrix Clean feature encourages it to work in a grid pattern for more thorough coverage, and according to the brand, it'll run for up to two hours before needing a recharge.

This is one of those items you'll wonder how you ever lived without, and it's down to its best price on record.

The only thing worse than a morning without coffee? A chilly morning with lukewarm coffee. No thanks. That's why this gizmo was invented; it was designed to fit under most cups and mugs and has two temperature settings to choose from. Know someone who loves cozy beverages as much as you? It would make a sweet holiday gift, just sayin' ... and I've yet to see it dip lower than it is now.

Best early October Prime Day deals: Fall essentials

Is it just me, or are plaid throw blankets cozier than others? Whether or not that's true, this one — at more than 50% off — certainly isn't lacking in couch-cuddling appeal: One side is made of soft fleece while the other is faux shearling for extra plushness. Wrap yourself up in it with some popcorn and a movie, and you've got an autumn night I'd describe as "iconic" — almost as iconic as this near-all-time-low price (it's only dropped a dollar lower).

You love the cooler temps fall brings, but the leaf maintenance? Not so much. But that's why tools like this cordless wonder exist. It's lightweight, but can reach speeds as fast as 150 mph to clear your yard in no time, and because it comes with two batteries, you'll be able to work for up to an hour before needing a charge (30 minutes per battery on low speed). This is its lowest-ever price at 35% off.

"This is the slipper ideal that made it to Oprah's Favorite Things 2024 list," says Senior Style Writer Rebecca Carhart. "As she said: 'Give a knit slipper with a faux-fur cuff and a memory foam insole — and you’ve just delivered relaxation-in-a-box to your nearest and dearest.' This isn't the first time Dearfoams has made Oprah's list, but these slippers merge comfortable and cute, come in eight colors and certain styles are nearly 50% off — the lowest price ever."

No need to preheat the oven or schlep the mixer out when a candle like this can make your home smell like a bakery. Of course, pumpkin is always a classic, but this beloved brand has a bunch of autumnal aromas — Sugared Cinnamon Apple, Ciderhouse — on sale for record lows. Each one can last for up to 150 hours, so you'll be able to savor these scents all season.

Best early October Prime Day deals: Tech

Accidents, unfortunately, happen, and if you happen to have one on the road, you'll be glad you had this camera to record the incident. According to McGraw, this one "can capture what's going on outside your car in 4K, which is important when you're trying to make out details like license plate numbers, especially when you're driving at night. Speaking of nighttime driving, the f/1.5 aperture lens allows this camera to capture a quality image even in low light."

He adds, "Not all accidents happen in front of you, which is why the RedTiger comes with a rear camera as well. It captures a wide, 140-degree-angle field of view, so you're covered in both the front and rear. The camera automatically detects crashes and locks and saves the video, just in case you can't." At nearly 45% off, it's as low as it's ever been.

Never lose your luggage, purse, car, keys — anything, really — again. Just attach one of these smart tags to the item you want to track, and you'll be alerted to its whereabouts via your phone.

Don't be fooled by the fact that this dust-guzzler weighs just 1.4 pounds; reviewers say it's plenty powerful. Never has de-crumbing the counter or sucking up fur that was shed on the sofa been so easy — it even comes with a crevice tool and an upholstery brush to help lift debris from fabrics. The price has only dropped $1 lower than this all year, so scoop it up while you can save over 35%.

Plush and oh-so-popular, this blankie is lightweight but toasty enough for winter. I first felt this supremely soft duvet insert at my sister's house and immediately told her to send me the product link so I could buy one for myself. 

It's Oeko-Tex Standard 100-certified (translation: no harmful substances found in it), feels lighter than air but also manages to keep me warm enough on cold nights. It has a box-stitch design to help keep the filling evenly distributed, and I haven't noticed any shifting. Pro tip: Pair it with a luxurious duvet cover, and no one will guess that the comforter inside costs just $30 (its lowest price in months).

Yes, that crisp fall air feels nice, but it can also cause our skin to feel even more parched than usual. This cream — which was purchased more than 100,000 times in the past month — has a huge fanbase, thanks to its gentle formula that's suitable for sensitive skin. Lightweight and quick-absorbent, it contains niacinamide, ceramide-3 and thermal water to soothe while delivering essential moisture. Grab a tube while it's within $2 of its best price of 2025.

Keep those pearly whites, well, pearly and white with this top-rated bacteria blaster. According to the brand, it can remove up to 100% more plaque in a week than manual brushing, and you'll only have to charge it once every two weeks or so. But what excites me most? It's currently down to its best price since 2022.

"If your shirt drawer is looking a little blah, this long-sleeve top is ready to tee up some serious style points," says Carhart. "The ribbed fabric is soft enough to live in, and it's designed to skim the body but not cling. It looks just as good flying solo as it does layered under your favorite jackets and sweaters. The best part? It comes in 39 colors and starts at just $9, so you can snag a few and keep them on repeat. Honestly, I’ve already got three in my cart, and at this price, I'm tempted to go for the whole rainbow."

At 55% off in some colors and sizes, this No. 1 bestseller is within a dollar of its all-time low.

An air fryer is just the ticket when you want a hot meal without waiting for the oven to preheat. This compact model — which was purchased more than 20,000 times in the past month alone — heats up quickly and holds up to 20 wings at a time via its square-shaped basket. Plus, it can be used to dehydrate food, proof bread and even bake desserts.

With this deal, it's just $2 more than its Black Friday price (which was also its all-time low).

What's on your fall cooking bingo card? Stew? Sourdough? Squash soup? Whatever it is, this culinary workhorse — which is close to an all-time low price — is up to the task. From boiling and braising to roasting and baking, it just about does it all, making it worthy of the space it'll take up in your cabinets.

Like its expensive counterparts (Le Creuset, anyone?), it's made of sturdy cast iron, which is an excellent heat retainer. If it's a tender pot roast you're going for, the hefty lid is dotted with condensation catchers, which trap moisture and deliver it back to the meat to keep it juicy. Want to make homemade doughnuts? The sides on this pot come up high enough that you won't risk your hot oil bubbling over. Oh, and no matter what you make, its slick enamel interior makes clean-up a breeze.

This piece can be used on just about any type of stovetop, and it's oven-safe up to 500°F. Oh, and for peace of mind regarding "forever chemicals," it's made without PFOA or PFAS.

Amazon Prime Day frequently asked questions

When is Fall Prime Day 2025?

This year, the Amazon Prime Big Deals Days event is slated to run for two days (as opposed to the four-day Prime Day event back in July). The sale kicks off on Tuesday, Oct. 7, and runs through Wednesday, Oct. 8. Set a reminder, or you might miss out on this shorter discount window!

What will be on sale during Fall Prime Day?

While we won't know exact markdowns until the sale begins, previous Prime Day events have been excellent times to score rarely discounted tech for near-record-low or record-low prices. (We're always on the lookout for Apple products in particular.) Seasonal clothing and style finds are another popular category — grab a winter coat and some boots for less before the first frost! — as well as small home appliances like air fryers, air purifiers and vacuums. It's also a smart time to shop for holiday gifts before the Black Friday rush, and you'll feel so accomplished knowing you've checked off some items from your list before you've even doled out Halloween candy.

Do I need to have an Amazon Prime membership?

Having an Amazon Prime membership isn't a prerequisite; there are always deals that everyone can enjoy. That said, many of the best Prime Day deals are reserved for Prime members, so having a subscription will allow you to make the most of the sale. Signing up is a cinch, and new members can opt for a free 30-day trial (after which, you'll be charged $139 each year — and you can cancel anytime).

Assorted products from Amazon against a green background, with a badge that says: Yahoo! Prime Day Early Deals
Amazon? It'll be more like Amazin' with all of the savings you'll be scooping up.

If you have Amazon Prime, you’ll get free shipping, of course. Not yet a member? No problem. You can sign up for your free 30-day trial here. (And by the way, those without Prime still get free shipping on orders of $35 or more.)
