You know that expression, "The early bird gets the worm"? I think now would be a good time to emulate our winged friends. As you may or may not have heard, Amazon Prime Big Deal Days (known as "Fall Prime Day" or "October Prime Day" to many) kicks off next week — and while you might be thinking it's best to wait until the sale officially starts to shop, I, a professional deals hunter, would recommend otherwise. You see, there's a slew of early Prime Day deals already live, including some record-low prices, so your best bet is to scoop 'em up before the markdown-mad masses descend.
Of course, it can be tough to tell the real deals from the so-so (or just plain bad) ones, but that's what I'm here for. With that in mind, I've handpicked the best discounts I'm seeing, from home goods and tech gadgets to fall clothing and beauty favorites.
Ready to check 'em out? Let's go scoop up some creepy crawlers, I mean, bargains.
"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.
Robovacs are great, but for a truly hands-off experience, you'll want a self-emptying model: This No. 1 bestseller has a collection bin that can hold up to 60 days' worth of dust and debris. That means you could go as long as two months 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 a built-in HEPA filter helps purify the air while it tackles dust bunnies.
The only time I've seen it on sale for less was last fall, so add it to your cart while you can save nearly 55%.
I love a good backpack to keep weight evenly distributed between my shoulders, and this one is much more attractive than the one I schlepped my textbooks around in during high school. Made of 100% recycled nylon, it's roomy enough to fit a 13-inch laptop and more, with plenty of pockets for stashing smaller essentials. It's over 60% off in all four colors it comes in, so good luck choosing just one...
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.

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 peel a strip off, 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!
Rather than risk having your travel-sized shampoo explode all over your suitcase, keep your skin, hair and beauty essentials safely contained in this fan-favorite tote. We all know how small hotel bathroom counters are, but this bag smartly includes a hook so you can hang it on the shower rod or on the door. Plus, its compartments are packed with pockets, and it even includes a separate see-through TSA bag to make going through security a breeze. This is as low as the large size has ever been on sale for, so bon voyage!

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.
Sure, the temps might still be in the 80s or 90s where you live, but it's never too early to jump on a fabulous sweater deal — especially one that drops the price to a record low. This cotton-blend, cable-knit crewneck is perfectly slouchy for all the makings of a cozy autumn. The only accessory it needs? A pumpkin-spice latte, of course.
Save $12 | Lowest price ever
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 at 55% off, I've yet to see it dip lower than it is now.
