Amazon Prime Day deals — 19 great sales I would buy now
These are my favorite early Prime Day deals
Amazon’s second Prime Day sales event of the year (officially known as Prime Big Deal Days) kicks off very soon. That makes now the perfect time to start your holiday shopping as the online retailer will be offering a tidal wave of deals starting Tuesday, October 10.
However, you don’t need to wait until then as early Prime Day deals have landed and are better than ever. In fact, some of these early deals have the potential to be better than the discounts we see during the main event. I track deals every day for Tom’s Guide, so I’m rounding up my favorite Amazon Prime Day deals that you can shop right now.
For starters, there’s a massive sale on Amazon devices including Echo smart speakers and Ring video doorbells, as well as serious money off some of the best Apple gear. Not to mention this MacBook Air 13 (M1/256GB) for $749 has me hovering over the buy button. Plus, I’m a huge gamer, with a passion for all things PlayStation, so this sale on top PS5 games is drawing my interest as well. October Prime Day is bringing the heat.
There are literally hundreds of deals already available, and the list is growing with each passing hour, which can make sorting through all the discounts pretty overwhelming. And that’s why I’ve rounded up my personal favorite deals down below. Plus, be sure to check out our Amazon coupon code guide for even more ways to save over the Prime Day period.
