Prime Day 2024: The best early deals and everything you need to know about the Big Deal Days sale in October


Got your shopping wishlist in order? Good, because October Prime Day will be here before we know it. The Amazon savings event — officially dubbed Prime Big Deal Days — is an opportunity to gather a bounty of markdowns on everything from tech gear and home goods to style and beauty finds. While it technically runs from October 8 through October 9, we’re already seeing prices drop so fast, they’re giving the autumn leaves a run for their money.

Speaking of money, if you consider yourself a savvy shopper who hits the event every year, you know that the MSRPs of some products might be inflated, and aren’t actually real deals. But if you haven’t been tracking the prices of all the fan-favorite items, don’t worry: We’re here to guide you and help make every dollar count.

To ensure you’re properly prepped, we’re sharing everything we know, including a few early October Prime Day deals you can snag right this moment.

Listen up: Our senior tech writer, Rick Broida, has spent the past two decades testing (and testing, and re-testing) hundreds of earbuds. So, when he’s surprised by just how good a $40 pair performs, you need to check them out ASAP. When he tested some of the best earbuds on the market, he named this pair the best budget option, praising their sound quality and noise-canceling abilities. And this wallet-friendly option just got even more budget-friendly, currently down to $20 — the lowest we’ve ever seen them.

Wild Growth’s plant-based formula, which includes olive, coconut and jojoba oils, works to promote hair growth and hair strength safely and naturally.

This top-rated serum was purchased by over 100,000 people in the past month alone, thanks to its lightweight, refreshing feel and hydrating, rejuvenating effects.

This multitasker will help your summer glow last long into fall. On her website, Martha Stewart revealed the 14 beauty products she “swears by,” and this glow-enhancing priming lotion is near the top of the list. Her trusted makeup artist of many years, Daisy Toye, said she applies it to Martha’s face after SPF to add dewiness and create “a smooth canvas for makeup.” 

Infused with glycerin and shea butter, the lotion aims to hydrate and moisturize skin while enhancing its natural glow. Choose from five shades (prices vary slightly).

Yard in need of some heavy-duty pruning? This small but mighty chainsaw is powerful enough to take down tree branches, yet weighs under 2.5 pounds. Plus, this top-seller is cordless for even more convenience. 

One Yahoo editor gave it a try, writing, “While testing the Saker, I first noticed that it was very easy to hold in one hand. I also appreciated the safety features, including a safety lock that must be pressed before the saw activates. This gave me some comfort that it wouldn’t just ‘go off’ if I squeezed it too tight while walking between locations. It’s also easier to use than something like pruning shears, which can be heavy and unwieldy and take much longer to get the same job done.”

Thousands of Amazon shoppers love these sturdy containers, which have airtight seals to keep food fresh. They’re made of glass — but not just any glass. We’re talking about borosilicate glass, which is used on thermal tiles in space shuttles.

This versatile skillet ain’t no flash in the pan — it’s been a staple in one Yahoo Life editor’s kitchen for years. Among its many perks are its lightweight, 2-pound design, as well as the removable silicone grip on its handle, which will protect your hands while you cook. 

It’s also dishwasher-safe, but our editor says, “Cleanup is a breeze and only requires a few swipes with a soapy sponge, even around the rivets that secure the handle.” It’s currently within $2 of the lowest price we’ve seen all year.

One Yahoo editor awarded this blade the title of best budget chef’s knife after testing a slew of them. She says, “When I started culinary school, I was issued a curated set of knives and tools we would need to work with through our 600 hours of training in order to graduate. This Mercer Culinary chef’s knife was the one we received that day and what we would use for 90% of our daily tasks. That should give you an idea of what this knife is capable of — and of its durability.

The Genesis may not be a flashy knife, but it is a real workhorse in the kitchen. This Western-style knife is forged from a single piece of high-carbon German steel and features a handle made from Santoprene (a rubbery material) that ensures a firm grip even in damp hands.” 

It only dropped lower in price once this year … so chop chop!

Been in a bit of a slump (literally)? Having a supportive yet comfortable work chair can help improve your posture while relieving pressure. This one has a curved shape that’s meant to conform to your back, while the base of the seat offers lumbar support to help take some pressure off. Hey, your job might cause a lot of stress, but your bum’s resting place shouldn’t!

Mesh backing allows for increased airflow and breathability for added comfort, and you’ll be able to recline and rock back at a customized angle that feels good to you. Prefer to sit cross-legged? Just flip up the armrests so they’re not in the way.

Amazon released the official dates of its fall Prime Big Deal Days sales event for 2024: Tuesday, October 8 and Wednesday, October 9, officially beginning at 3 A.M. EST on the 8th. But you don’t have to wait to start shopping markdowns — read on to see some of our fave items that are already on sale at Amazon.

Amazon Prime Day, launched in July 2015, is a massive site-wide savings event exclusive to Amazon Prime subscribers. The Amazon Prime Big Deal Days addition came in 2022, when Amazon introduced the Prime Early Access Sale that October as a discount-heavy kickoff to holiday shopping. Last year, they officially changed the name to Prime Big Deal Days to complement the popular July Prime Day event.

If you’re not yet a Prime member but still want to take advantage of Prime Big Deal Days, don’t sweat it — you can sign up for your free 30-day trial of Amazon Prime here. (And by the way, those without Prime still get free shipping on orders of $35 or more all year ’round.) Not ready to join the club? You can sign up for Amazon Prime any time, including during October Prime Day itself. Along with the exclusive savings, you’ll also be able to take advantage of benefits like free shipping.

Information on specific markdowns is soon to come, but we already have a tantalizing taste of the deals in store for October Prime Day 2024. They include sweet savings on timely categories like fall fashion finds, home entertaining must-haves, and classics like tech and kitchenware. Plus, it’s almost guaranteed that the retailer will be offering discounts on its own products, like Kindle, Fire TV, Echo, Ring and more. We expect some truly “big deals” on big-ticket items including electronics and appliances.

Stick with us here at Yahoo to stay apprised of all the emerging deals for October Prime Day 2024. We’ll have category experts on deck to keep you updated on all the marked-down must-haves. We’ll also be comparing prices with other retailers (and delving into price histories), so you can be sure you’re getting actual deals — and this coverage will extend throughout all of Prime Big Deal Days, so check back often for updates.

October Prime Day deals won’t be live until next week. However, Amazon is already rolling out early markdowns as a lead-up to its second Prime Day of the year. Snap up these steals now.

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.)
