Calling all mega-savers! Now that fall is officially here, Amazon's October Prime Day is just around the corner. Amazon Prime Big Deal Days runs Oct. 6-7, promising two full days of deep discounts on everything from tech to home essentials to savvy style upgrades and more. But here's some good news for frugal-minded folk who don't want to wait: Some major markdowns are already live and ready to shop — like a mega-selling, fall-ready Hanes hoodie for nearly 65% off and favorites from brands like Yeti, Apple and more boasting rare price cuts.
Don't know where to start? We've rounded up the best Amazon deals available right now, so you know which bargains are worth snapping up before they sell out … and which ones you can leave for the post-turkey haze come late November.
Let's get this price-slash party started!
Best Amazon deals: Top picks
Need an extra layer for those crisp autumn days? Don't miss out on this soft fleece hoodie while it's up to 65% offin certain colors and sizes. It has over 125,000 five-star ratings, including a ringing endorsement from one of our deals experts. Choose from colors like classic black and navy blue — your best deal will be in this poppy purple shade, among a couple others. (Prefer a zip-up? Those are on sale too.)
Great time to buy: This is within a dollar of the lowest price we've seen for this fan-favorite hoodie, and considering it'll only be getting cooler, we don't envision it going lower anytime soon.
With its lightweight shell, waterproof fabric and pack-into-itself convenience, this is one rain shield that won't weigh you down. Water beads right off so you stay dry, and with features like a stow-away hood, zippered pockets and adjustable cuffs, you're getting full coverage without paying full price.
Good deal: This discount is nearly 50% off, so snag one while you can.
Robot vacuums are a godsend — especially if you weren't blessed with the "loves to clean" gene — and a self-emptying model takes even more of the dirty work off your plate. This Shark is the housekeeper you always wished for. It has tens of thousands of five-star ratings and handles the annoying stuff for you: mapping your home, picking up pet hair and emptying its own debris bin when it's done.
Great time to buy: Nearly 60% off a trusted brand like Shark is the kind of deal that makes us jaded deal-hunters perk up. At $250, it's still an investment, but you're saving almost as much as you're spending (and scoring the best price in months). And the time you'll save with all of it's impressive features? Priceless.
You can score this top-rated, upgraded version of Yeti's popular 35-ounce tumbler for as little as $29 (down from $42) in a variety of fab shades, including this poppy red, pretty purple and classic Seafoam (my own home's "signature" Yeti color). No frills here, just dependable function: a simple straw-lid design with a condensation-free body to keep your hands dry, and you can pop this bad boy right into the dishwasher when it's time to clean. Best of all, it'll keep your go-to bevvies fresh and cold all day long.
Great time to buy: We haven't seen the price on this particular size dip any lower, and considering it's just as handy for chilled drinks as it will be for keeping your autumnal teas, coffees and cocoas piping hot, we think it's a good opportunity to grab one now.
Ding, dong — there's a great deal at the door. This bundle, which contains a Ring battery doorbell and an Indoor Cam Plus, is ideal for shoring up your home security situation without spending a bundle. It'll monitor the outside of your home as well as a targeted space inside (which is great for, say, checking in on your furbabies while away for the day). You'll see everything in crisp 2K (which is pretty impressive for a security camera!), control and receive alerts from your phone and spend mere minutes on installation.
Great time to buy: This is the lowest price we've ever seen on this useful twosome (nearly 65% off!), so strike while the iron is hot.
Ask me what fall smells like, and this candle (and a few others) immediately comes to mind; in fact, it is on my kitchen island right now as I write this, filling my house with the scent of apple pie. Right now, Yankee Candle has a bunch of autumnal aromas — Spiced Pumpkin, Ciderhouse — all on sale for $16 or $17 apiece, with each one lasting for up to 150 hours, so you'll be able to savor these scents all season.
Good deal: $16 for 150 hours of spectacular scent-age? That's a deal I can get behind. This is also the lowest price we've seen for these fall fragrances in months, and we doubt there will be a more precipitous drop since autumn has now officially arrived.
Quality exosome products can be useful for those battling skin woes like dullness, large pores and early signs of aging. This particular tightening serum from the mega-popular K-beauty titans Medicube is formulated to penetrate deeply into the skin (thanks to its "liquid microneedle" formula) to tackle issues like dryness and uneven texture and color.
Great time to buy: At nearly 70% off, this serum is a bargain, and the price has never gone lower. Thanks to this limited-time deal, it's by far the most affordable option on our list of top exosome serums. Just don't wait too long if it piques your curiosity, because major deals on Medicube like this never last long.
Our gifting expert, Amanda Garrity, is a longtime fan of the Bonne Maman Advent Calendars, and this year's is no exception. You get 24 small jars of the famous French spread, with so many possibilities: Deck your toast, waffles and other treats with different fruit jellies and caramel spreads.
While this Advent calendar isn't technically on sale, going off the fact that a 9-piece gift set sets you back $28 for just 9 jars, we've done the math, and the content value of the calendar comes out to around $75 worth of yummy jellies, jams and spreads — making its $56 price tag a pretty sweet deal. And if history is any indication, it'll sell out well before December, so you know what to do!
I think I may have found your go-to bag for fall and beyond. This sleek Saffiano leather beauty is like the Goldilocks of totes; it's not too big, not too small and has a zip-up interior pocket for safely storing your laptop and more. "[I] have had this bag for over a year and [it's] still in great shape," wrote one reviewer, while another called it an "excellent bag for the office."
Great time to buy: This price marks its lowest at Amazon in nearly a year, so save over $100 in all eight colors while you can.
DeWalt is always a trusted brand for tools, and if you're looking to do a little DIY now that we're soon to be spending more time indoors, this oscillating multitool is a very worthy addition to your kit. It can tackle a variety of tasks, including cutting into wood and drywall, installing fixtures, sanding, scraping... well, you get the gist. This No. 1 bestselling set comes with a battery, wood with nails blade, fast-cut wood blade, universal accessory adapter, charger and kit bag.
Good deal: This is the lowest price on the oscillating tool in over a month and one of the best of the year.
Does it seem early for advent calendars? If you want to get the good ones (and Lego makes the good ones) shopping now isn't early, it's prudent. This Marvel version and four others are on sale right now and I'm buying at least two (one for my kid and one, I'm not ashamed to say, for myself).
This year's Marvel Advent calendar gives you Doctor Doom with a giant candy cane, Wolverine in a Christmas sweater, Spider-Man on skis, an X-Jet sleigh and a Captain America snowman — plus Iron Man and Spider-Gwen. And with 317 pieces, there are no sad little filler days towards the end.
Good deal: These calendars tend to get pricier as October rolls around, so $10 off is a nice deal for early-bird shoppers.
Best Amazon deals: Style
Even if your part of the country isn't experiencing sweater weather just yet, things will cool down before you know it. A classic V-neck is one of those autumn staples that everyone should have in their wardrobe, and this timeless top has thousands of perfect ratings to back it up. "It looks luxurious!" swooned a stylish shopper. "The material is lightweight and soft... it is an essential piece in my capsule wardrobe and a great layering piece too!"
Great time to buy: At nearly 40% off, this sweater is down to its best price since spring (and it's only dropped lower by $2 all year). Better stock up now while it's marked down in plenty of colors...
This good ol' pair of straight-leg Levi's is basically the Old Faithful of denim. Can you wear sneakers or ballet flats with this cut? Sure. Ankle boots underneath? Absolutely. A knee-high boot over? Why not? They're also available in short, regular and long sizes. (One note: Many buyers say these run a bit big, so you may want to size down a smidge.)
"I bought several colors," said one super-satisfied shopper. "These are so comfortable. I normally wear a 12 short, but in these I had to return and order 10 short. I love them ... if you have a small waist, they may be big or gaping because they fit my apple shape. I'm 5 feet, 160 lbs. for reference. Length was good."
Good deal: A classic pair of Levi's for just $35? Yeah, we like the look of that savings.
Why we love it: Originally designed as workwear for tradesfolk, Carhartt styles have become massively popular in the last few years thanks to their simple, effective design and rugged durability. From celebs to politicians to regular Joes, everyone loves a Carhartt jacket — and this No. 1 bestseller is the perfect example of why. The insulated blanket lining provides plenty of cozy warmth, while the corduroy-trimmed collar adds a little visual interest (and comes with under-collar snaps for adding an optional hood). The exterior is made of 100% cotton sandstone duck, a heavyweight canvas-style fabric pre-washed to give it a soft, broken-in feel right from the first wear.
Why it's a good deal: Carhartt is so popular that their styles don't really need to go on sale to sell big, but right now you can get this "iconic" style in black on Amazon for the lowest price of the year, and the lowest price we've ever seen for it — and the best price we're seeing across the 'net.
This two-piece set is Amazon's bestselling tracksuit, with over 6,400 five-star reviews. The half-zip sweatshirt features a stylishly oversized, sailor-inspired neckline, while the bottoms are drawstring — both pieces are relaxed and offer plenty of stretch, constructed with a comfy mix of rayon, polyester and spandex. Wear together or as part of different outfits; either way, this twofer is a great add to your autumn fashion arsenal.
Still on the fence? This matching set looks just like one of Oprah's (way pricier) favorites from Spanx.
Wildly popular leggings for a mere $6? Yes, please! These No. 1 bestsellers are buttery soft and totally opaque. Plus, the high waist offers support without being too constricting, and according to reviewers, they pass the squat test. And — they have pockets.
Great time to buy: These leggings, which have been purchased over 7,000 times this month, are always a steal, but this price — equal to the lowest we've ever seen — is particularly stellar.
These may not be the fashion show, sneakerhead, influencer-hype shoes — but these are the get-it-done, stay-comfortable, slip-on workhorses that you wear all day long. They're also a classic three-season shoe, perfect for getting up and around in the fall, spring and summer (though you'd probably appreciate something more heavy-duty for cold, wet winter). The signature Adidas Cloudfoam midsoles make them comfortable for anyone who is on their feet all day, while the adjustable elastic laces make them easy to put on and take off.

No one wants to deal with night sweats, but luckily, you can start sleeping more comfortably, thanks to these lightweight cooling sheets. The smooth microfiber material will feel like heaven against your skin and the fitted sheet even comes with a handy side pocket that's perfect for storing things you tend to misplace in bed, like your phone or the TV remote! Each set includes a top sheet, fitted sheet and two pillowcases — and are up to 40% off right now.
Want to start your evenings on the right foot, er, head? You'd be wise to snag this highly rated pair while it's under $30. Filled with a lofty down alternative stuffing, these plush pillows are moisture-wicking and designed to feel comfortable whether you sleep on your side, back or stomach.
Great time to buy: This twofer has only dipped a bit lower than this (and by just a couple bucks) this year once, for Prime Day. If you want to upgrade your sleep sitch, this is the ideal time to Add to Cart.
Despite being a corded vac, this upright wonder from Shark is designed to clean anywhere you need it to — hard floors, carpets, stairs and more. The easy-detach Lift-Away pod enables fully portable cleaning, and the HEPA anti-allergen seal helps keep dust and other nasties trapped in the vac and not your sinuses (or the air you're breathing). There are also multiple attachments on board, including a Pet Crevice tool to suck up Fido's fur from hard-to-reach spaces and an upholstery tool that'll erase debris from curtains, lampshades and other delicate fabrics, as well as surfaces like shelves and tables.
Perhaps most impressively for this unit, it offers self-cleaning functionality — the Shark brushroll helps to prevent hair wrap, which is incredibly handy if you have long hair or pets.
Great time to buy: This 43% discount is part of an early sale for Prime Big Deal days. That means it's only valid for Prime members. If you're not a member yet, this deal is almost enough to make up for the $139 yearly membership price — it equals the best price we've seen on the Navigator in over a year.
Looking toward your imminent fall leaf cleanup with dread? A leaf blower will cut your time toiling away with an old metal rake wayyyy down, and a cordless option like this one from Greenworks ensures you won't be tied up in wires while you get your yard work on. It'll run continually for 20 minutes on a single charge, plenty of time to tidy up your space — and its ultralight body means you won't be breaking your back doing so.
Great time to buy: We don't envision the price on this handy helper dropping further as we get closer to fall, and it hasn't been any lower since last year.
This small yet mighty handvac has been scooped up more than 20,000 times in the past month alone, so it's clearly doing something right. Don't be fooled by its 1.4-pound weight; shoppers rave about its strong suction and impressive battery life. Plus, it comes with a built-in crevice tool for reaching tight spaces.
Great time to buy: We don't expect this vacuum to drop lower in price anytime soon, as this is its best discount of the year so far.

Senior Deals Writer Britt Ross shares, "My sister is the real-life version of the Princess and the Pea — her standards are high! That's why, when I used this blanket at her house and asked where it was from, I was surprised when she told me she'd gotten it at Amazon. It felt like heaven!
I've since purchased two: one for my bed and the other for my guest bedroom. The comforter is warm but lightweight — no night sweats. It's incredibly soft, with a nice amount of fluff factor, thanks to box stitching that keeps the filling evenly distributed. Plus, it has loops attached to its sides, should you want to attach it to a duvet cover (I do this in the winter when I want a bit more coverage). To clean it, just toss it into the washer and dryer — mine still looks and feels just as sublime as the day I got it. All for just $30? Yeah, you'll probably want to buy more than one as well."
Cleaning your home might literally be a chore, but that doesn't mean it has to feel like one. You just need to find the products that'll do the dirty work for you, whether it's a robot vacuum, an electric scrubber or a broom that doesn't involve pulling wads of hair out of the bristles with your bare hands. Yes, such a thing exists: This dustpan is equipped with teeth that'll dislodge those clumps for you, because post-cleaning cleanup is no one's idea of a good time. What is fun, however, is the fact that this duo is on sale.
Great time to buy: This price matches the broom's lowest in at least a year, and it'll pay for itself in no time, thanks to all of the headaches it'll save you.
If the area under your sink has become a black hole of cleaning products (along with who knows what else), these slide-out shelves are here to save the day. Because each one has two levels, you'll maximize space, making it so much easier to find whatever it is you're looking for. This is one of those items you'll wonder how you ever lived without — trust me, we recently tried it out, and that's how we felt!
Best Amazon deals: Kitchen
If breakfast has turned into a daily battle between your eggs and your frying pan, it may be time for a cookware reset. This bestselling Carote set gives you a lot for the money: 21 pieces total, including two frying pans, two saucepans, a sauté pan, lids, accessories and a five-piece utensil set. The pans also come in black, charcoal or white, so replacing your beat-up cookware can double as a mini kitchen refresh.
Good deal: More than 10,000 Amazon shoppers bought this set in the past month, and the black version is down to just $60 right now.
Like the ever popular Ninja Flip air fryer, this countertop oven also stows away on its side to make more room on your countertop. When in use, it can air fry some chicken, roast potatoes, toast your sourdough, dehydrate apple slices, and bake some cookies. And it'll do it all faster than a traditional oven.
This will give you extra cooking power during holiday cooking and come next summer, you'll be far happier firing this up than dealing with the kitchen-warming power of your regular oven.
Great time to buy: This is an early Prime Day deal, and it's the biggest discount we've seen in months (and one of the best all year).
Here's an ultra-compact Keurig that brews a single serving at a time. At $50, this tiny wonder is an affordable option for small kitchens, dorm rooms and offices. Just add water, your preferred K-Cup flavor (or use your own grounds with a My K-Cup) and enjoy a mugful of java whenever you want. All four colors (green, black, red and pink) are on sale.
Great time to buy: At $40 off, it matches the lowest price we've tracked in the past 90 days.
Bakers and other folks with soft human hands, behold! A nearly-70% discount on our absolute favorite pair of oven mitts (and we tested a bunch before crowning a winner). These KitchenAid mitts performed well and looked good during testing, and our own Elizabeth Berry has owned them for about six months. She loves the soft, quilted polyester lining and flexible silicone exterior, which makes it comfortable to grip pots and pans.
Great time to buy: As little as $11 for the mitts that outperformed all others? Sold! You'll get the best deal in gray (pictured) as well as tan and black, available now for its lowest price of the year.
If you're ready to give that plastic cutting board the chop, bamboo is becoming a popular alternative — and this trio earned a spot on our tester's list of the best cutting boards she tried. "With three graduated sizes of bamboo boards in this set, it's kind of a steal," she says. "The boards feature juice grooves and indented side 'handles' that make transporting them easy."
She also notes that "bamboo is less porous than hardwoods, and more resistant to bacteria, according to the USDA," and these aren't one-trick boards: They "moonlight quite nicely as serving pieces and are easy to store when not in use."
Great time to buy: This price is the set's lowest in at least the past year.
What's on your autumnal cooking bingo card? Stew? Sourdough? Squash soup? Whatever it is, this workhorse is up to the task. That's right, you don't have to shell out hundreds on a fancy French Dutch oven from you-know-who. Amazon shoppers say this pick is on par with pricier pots, and it's nearly 45% off. It's made of sturdy cast iron, which is an excellent heat retainer, can be used on just about any type of stovetop and it's oven-safe up to 500°F. Its enamel finish also makes it super easy to clean, which is definitely a pro for dealing with the aftermath of those aforementioned long-simmering soups and stews. Bon appétit.
When the idea of slaving over the stove after a long day is simply too overwhelming, it's this compact countertop cooker to the rescue. With one-touch settings for fish, chicken, meat and fries, it'll have a full meal on the table in minutes, and with little to no oil used to boot. Plus, it's less than a foot wide, so it won't take up much space.
Good deal: This 50% markdown makes this compact cutie a cool $50 off.
If you're short on counter space, an appliance that can pull double — or in this case, quintuple — duty is hard to argue with. This 5-in-1 Ninja can air fry, roast, bake, reheat and dehydrate, so it can handle everything from crispy weeknight dinners to leftovers and homemade snacks without dragging out another appliance. The 5.5-quart basket is big enough for up to 3 pounds of wings or fries, and both the basket and crisper plate are dishwasher-safe. We love an appliance that gets dinner done quickly, then makes short work of cleanup.
Great time to buy: At nearly 45% off, this is the best price we've seen since Prime Day. And with a $80 savings, it's a substantial enough drop that we wouldn't hold out for a few extra bucks.
Best Amazon deals: Tech
This update of the classic Ring doorbell captures the area in front of your door in crisp Retinal 2K video, allowing for both wider views and tighter focus. You can zoom in up to 6x to see details from a distance, and connect to anyone at your door with Live View and Two-Way Talk. Plus, the unit is incredibly easy to recharge — just insert the included removal tool to quickly detach the doorbell from its mount, then plug it in to a USB-C and wait for it to juice up.
Great time to buy: 60% off is always nice to see, and this is the lowest price we've spotted on this upgraded unit since it dropped.
These nifty gadgets can be dropped in your purse or slipped into a special key ring to attach them to other items you might misplace, making them ideal for travel (or just for anyone who is a bit, shall we say, absent-minded). Just open your Find My app to track their location and see exactly where they are at any time.
Great time to buy: This is the lowest price we've seen for a single AirTag, ideal if you just want an extra for tracking a piece of luggage, your dog's collar or basically anything else you want extra monitoring on.
Are you sick of paying monthly cable TV bills? Join the club, where instead of matching T-shirts, we have sticks. Fire Sticks, that is. For just $18, you can plug this right into one of your TV's HDMI ports, and the streaming device will immediately search for your home's Wi-Fi network. Plus, it comes with an intuitive remote that can cue up over 300,000 movie titles and control your TV to boot.
Great time to buy: The 4K Select has never dropped in price lower than this, and 65% off is a pretty great discount.
The latest AirPods Pro models came out last October, and Yahoo Tech's review praised their great sound, improved battery life (8 hours) and excellent noise cancellation. You also get Live Translation, heart-rate sensing for workouts and a hearing aid feature and I can personally attest that the noise cancellation is almost spooky-good.
At $199, they're $50 off right now. We have seen them drop by as much as $70 in previous sales, so this isn't the lowest price ever — but it's still a solid discount on one of Apple's newest pairs of earbuds.
Looking for a high-quality, highly-rated portable speaker? Here comes the boom — the Wonderboom, that is. This cordless wonder is waterproof (it can be submerged in water for up to 30 minutes!), dustproof, floatable, drop-proof... listen, if you need something a bit more rugged, this little unit is for you. Plus, you'll get up to 14 hours of continuous play on a single charge and can toggle between Outdoor and Podcast modes to boost sound in louder environments or to make vocals louder and clearer.
Great time to buy: This is within $1 of the lowest price we've seen on the Wonderboom 4, and is the lowest price in at least a month!
Best Amazon deals: Beauty
We all love to flash our pearly whites, but having a healthy smile, not just a dazzling one, is the most important thing of all — and that includes keeping up a daily flossing routine. If you're looking to step up your oral hygiene without that icky yanking-on-a-string thing, we suggest grabbing this travel-friendly water flosser. Featuring a cordless design, built-in water reservoir and up to three weeks of battery power on a single charge, this portable 'pik is perfect for keeping up with your flossing on the go.
Great time to buy: This $35 price tag equals the lowest price of the year, and is the biggest discount on the Cordless Pulse in months.
This is what you need if you're like, "I think tightening creams are BS but I also want to believe they are true because I currently dislike my neck." Gold Bond's firming cream is no frills but gets the job done (the job being firmer-looking, less-crepey skin). The formula is lightweight and on the thin side, but the product absorbs well and is gentle enough not to irritate sensitive skin.
Good deal: Note: You'll need to use it consistently for about a month to see results, and it won't, of course, magically make you appear 25, but being able to snag this ample size for just $12 makes this product worth a go.
This velvety-smooth overnight cream — a No. 1 bestseller on Amazon, with over 70,000 (!) purchased just this month — is more effective at smoothing and hydrating skin than brands costing five times as much. It contains ingredients like hyaluronic acid and niacinamide to restore the skin's protective barrier and give it a brighter, plumper appearance overall. Save a sweet 30% ahead of Prime Day.
Under-eye patches are a top-tier form of self-care for multitaskers — ahem, your mom. If she finds it tough to carve out time for well-deserved R&R, then these top-tested patches are just the thing she needs to tackle dry, tired under-eyes. Just pop on a pair, let them sit for up to 20 minutes while [insert laundry list of house chores here] and gently rub in any remaining serum once the time's up.
Multiple studies show that buzzy new ingredient PDRN can be effective at everything from reducing inflammation to promoting cell regeneration. It also helps with boosting collagen production and, therefore, tightening skin and reducing the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.
This ultra-popular serum is packed with not only an impressive 10,000 ppm concentration of the hero ingredient but bonus wrinkle-tightening peptides and skin-softening niacinamide. It's also an ultra-light version of the brand's classic PDRN serum, formulated to feel less sticky or heavy. More than 4,000 bottles have flown off the virtual Amazon shelves this month.
Great time to buy: As we said above, Medicube deals are somewhat rare, so score this serum at a sweet discount while you can.
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.)
