Another Amazon Prime Day event is set to begin tomorrow, lasting until midnight Wednesday. However, eager shoppers don’t have to wait any longer to find deals. After a thorough search of the online marketplace, we’ve compiled a list of the best early Prime Day bargains for those looking to get a head start on their shopping.
Since the official Prime Day hasn’t started yet, we’ve handpicked only the most impressive deals—those that are at or very near their lowest prices ever. These items have not been available at a lower cost on Amazon, unless otherwise noted. We anticipate that most of these offers will remain valid throughout the Prime Big Deal Days event on October 8 and 9. Our team has personally tested all recommended products, ensuring they are worth the purchase. Be aware that some discounts may require an Amazon Prime membership, but you can sign up for a free trial that comes with numerous benefits.
As of October 7, we’ve included deals on popular items such as the ASUS RT-AXE7800 router, Govee Neon Rope Light 2, Slice Ergonomic Box Cutter, Breville BES870XL Barista Express Espresso Machine, MacBook Air 15-Inch, MacBook Pro 14-inch, and iPad Mini, while expired deals have been removed.
