Prime Day is back! Amazon's 48-hour sale kicks off on October 8 and promises Prime members epic savings on everything from Sony headphones to Adidas hoodies. However, you don't have to wait till next week to score some deals. 

I've covered every Prime Day and I've repeatedly seen Amazon offer its best deals the weekend leading up to a major event. For example, right now Amazon is knocking up to 70% off Alexa-powered hardware. It's a predictable sale — this is Prime Day after all — but I like this sale because it's offering the lowest prices of the year on Ring video cameras, Blink security cams, and Echo speakers. 

I'm also seeing massive discounts on shoes and apparel. As someone who just started wearing Crocs last month, I love that Amazon has Crocs on sale from $19. You can shop classic Crocs (like the ones I'm wearing right now) or sandals and flip flops. 

Are all of this weekend's Amazon deals Black Friday worthy? Absolutely not. There's a lot of stuff I'd avoid at all costs. However, below I've rounded up all of this weekend's top deals. I've included devices recommended by Tom's Guide editors, items I personally own, and products that are undergoing steep discounts. If you want to start your holiday shopping now, below you'll find my top picks. (Also, make sure to browse through our larger guide of the best October Prime Day deals and best Amazon promo codes).

I'm the Editor in Chief of deals at Tom's Guide. I've been covering deals for over a decade and I'm here to help you find the best bargains this Prime Day. Whether you're looking for the best affordable running shoes or hoping to replace an old laptop with a small budget, I'm rounding up all of my favorite deals on the best items worth buying.

My Top Deals

Carhartt sale: deals from $6 @ Amazon

Carhartt sale: deals from $6 @ Amazon
I'll be honest: I don't own any Carhartt apparel, but I track deals for a living and it's very rare to see Carhartt sales at Amazon, which is why this deal is noteworthy. Amazon has Carhartt apparel for men and women on sale from $6. The sale includes basic t-shirts, socks, jackets, sweatpants, thermal base units, and more. 

Hanes Dry Workout Shirt 2-Pack: was $28 now $16 @ Amazon

Hanes Dry Workout Shirt 2-Pack: was $28 now $16 @ Amazon
I sweat like a maniac at the gym, so I'm always looking for moisture-wicking shirts. I wear these Hanes Cool Dri shirts when lifting weights and they're an amazing value. They're a little oversized (which I personally like) and they do a solid job of keeping you dry. I wouldn't recommend them for your HIIT workouts, but for basic strength training they certainly get the job done. 

Crocs sale: deals from $19 @ Amazon

Crocs sale: deals from $19 @ Amazon
I picked up my first pair of Crocs last month and although I was pretty skeptical at first, I really like them. They're comfy, offer a secure/snug fit, and they're pretty rugged. I went with the Crocs Classic Clog for $39 (pictured, was $49), but right now multiple Crocs are on sale from $19. Now that I own a pair, I might give the sandals a try.

Echo Dot (5th Gen): was $74 now $22 @ Amazon

Echo Dot (5th Gen): was $74 now $22 @ Amazon
Where would I be without my Echo Dot. I use it for everything from turning on/off my lights to streaming music (when connected to a more powerful set of speakers). It's no wonder we called it one of the best Alexa speakers you can buy. Buy it now and you'll get a free smart bulb. 

Ninja sale: deals from $39 @ Amazon

Ninja sale: deals from $39 @ Amazon
There's more than a few Ninja devices in my household, so when I hear there's a Ninja sale — I'm all ears. Right now Amazon is taking up to 40% off select Ninja kitchen appliances with deals from $39. The sale includes coffee makers, food processors, air fryer combos, and more. 

Asics Gel Kayano 30: was $160 now $109 @ Amazon

Asics Gel Kayano 30: was $160 now $109 @ Amazon
The Asics Gel Kayano 30 are my go-to running shoes. They were on sale during July Prime Day for $119 and I ended up buying a second pair. Now they're on sale for $109! They're designed to provide advanced stability and soft cushioning for neutral runners and overpronators alike. I've been using them for just shy of a year and love how they're lightweight yet provide excellent cushioning and support. The women's shoe is also on sale for $99.

LG 42" C4 4K OLED TV: was $1,499 now $946 @ Amazon

LG 42" C4 4K OLED TV: was $1,499 now $946 @ Amazon
I don't own the C4 (I purchased the 65-inch LG C2 a few years ago), but I love my C2 and based on our LG C4 OLED TV review, the new model offers an even more colorful and dazzlingly bright display. It's powered by LG's A9 processor and features a 120Hz panel, Dolby Vision/ HDR10/HLG support, built-in Amazon Alexa, four HDMI 2.1 ports and Apple AirPlay 2 support. It's also one of the few OLED TVs that can natively accept a 144Hz input from a PC. This are some of the lowest prices I've seen for LG's 2024 OLED.
48" for $996
55" for $1,296
65" for $1,696
77" for $2,496
83" for $4,296

Smart home

Echo Pop w/ TP-Link Bulb: was $64 now $17 @ Amazon

Echo Pop w/ TP-Link Bulb: was $64 now $17 @ Amazon
This is the most affordable Alexa speaker Amazon sells, and it’s now been slashed to an even lower price. In our Echo Pop review, we were impressed by the speaker's sound for its small size. It lacks the temperature and motion sensors of the Echo Dot, but the Echo Pop still allows you to set timers, control your other smart home devices and more.

Fire TV Stick 4K Max (2023): was $59 now $34 @ Amazon

Fire TV Stick 4K Max (2023): was $59 now $34 @ Amazon
The current-gen Fire TV Stick 4K Max (2023) sports an upgraded 2GHz processor and faster Wi-Fi 6E tri-band support. You also get Dolby Vision/HDR10/HDR10+/HLG support on the video front and Dolby Digital Plus/Dolby Atmos support on the audio side. In our Fire TV Stick 4K Max review, we said it's a good streaming stick at a decent price if you use Alexa a lot, but it becomes a better bargain when it's on sale. 

Blink Outdoor 4: was $99 now $39 @ Amazon
Editor's Choice deal

Blink Outdoor 4: was $99 now $39 @ Amazon

Echo Spot 2024: was $104 now $44 @ Amazon

Echo Spot 2024: was $104 now $44 @ Amazon
The new Echo Spot (2024) is a cross between the Echo Dot and Echo Show. It lacks a camera, but sports a small basic LCD that displays the time, weather, album cover art, and smart home controls. In our Amazon Echo Spot review, we said it sits somewhere between the Echo Dot with Clock and the Echo Show 5, offering a good middle ground for those who want a smart speaker for their bedside with limited distractions. It's now bundled with a free Sengled Smart Bulb. 

Blink Outdoor 4 + Blink Mini 2 bundle: was $139 now $49 @ Amazon

Blink Video Doorbell System + Echo Pop bundle: was $109 now $57 @ Amazon
Blink's video doorbell can be installed on any doorway since it runs on battery power, but it can also be wired into your existing setup to tap into your home's chime. This is an inexpensive way to monitor your property and talk to visitors via two-way audio. The included Sync Module means you can store video locally without paying a monthly subscription. It also comes with an Echo Pop smart speaker, making it one of the best value bundles I've ever seen from Amazon.

Ring Battery Doorbell Plus: was $149 now $99 @ Amazon

Ring Battery Doorbell Plus: was $149 now $99 @ Amazon
Want vertical head-to-toe video and package detection missing on from the entry-level Ring Doorbell? Then this is the Ring doorbell you want. In our Ring Battery Doorbell Plus review, we found it delivered excellent sqaured video that shows what's happening closer to your front door, was easy to install, and its battery lasted a good long time, too. 

Ring Video Doorbell w/ Echo Show 5: was $189 now $109 @ Amazon

Ring Video Doorbell w/ Echo Show 5: was $189 now $109 @ Amazon
This deal combines the Ring Video Doorbell with the Echo Show 5, saving you over $70. Both the satin and bronze colorways are available at this price. With the included Echo Show 5, you’ve got a home hub through which you can view and talk to your visitors.  

Ring Floodlight Cam Wired Plus: was $199 now $119 @ Amazon

Ring Floodlight Cam Wired Plus: was $199 now $119 @ Amazon
If you have floodlight wiring then Ring's floodlight camera is a no-brainer. Its two LED floodlights pack an impressive 2000 lumens that will light up your driveway or spotlight intruders in the dark. Its 1080p camera is plenty sharp to make out details like the text on a shirt. Plus it even has a built-in 105-dB siren. Unlike the pricier Ring Floodlight Cam Pro, it lacks 5GHz Wi-Fi and the Bird's Eye View feature which marks a subject's movement along your property atop an aerial map. Otherwise, this provides steady protection with a crisp image for $80 off its regular price.

Amazon Echo Hub: was $179 now $124 @ Amazon
Lowest price!

Amazon Echo Hub: was $179 now $124 @ Amazon
Lowest price!
Since its launch, Amazon has sold its Echo Hub for $179. So we're naturally excited to see it get a price drop. If you own smart home devices and don't have a control panel to control them, this is the deal for you. In our Amazon Echo Hub review we said the Editor's Choice device puts every aspect of your smart home at your fingertips with the ability to connect to thousands of devices effortlessly.

That’s because the control panel is entirely contained on the handle which is both easy to see and access, as well as navigate.

A Tom's Guide favorite, in KitchenAid Artisan 5-Quart stand mixer review, we dubbed it the "best kitchen purchase" you can ever make. It beats, whisks, and kneads at 10 different speeds, so you don't have to, reducing recipe times. The bowl is big enough to support 9 dozen cookies or 4 loaves of bread at a time. This machine also boasts a 59-point planetary mixing action — fancy words that translate into incredibly mixed ingredients.
