October Prime Day is officially official. After a slew of early deals, Prime Big Deal Days (as the retailer dubbed the sale event) launched in a big way this morning, with prices falling on everything from tech goodies to beauty must-haves.
But savvy shoppers know that between inflated MSRPs and products staying their “sale” price for months on end, not all deals are created equal. Even if you haven’t been obsessively tracking the prices of all your favorites, 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 October Prime Day deals you can snag right this moment.

Over 10,000 Amazon shoppers bought these earbuds in the past month, so it may be an understatement to say they’re a customer favorite. Released just this year, they come with more features than you may expect given their tiny package: active-noise cancellation, transparency mode, USB-C charging and a comfy, snug fit.
Right now for Prime Day, these are matching an all-time low price.
“The noise cancellation amazed me,” one shopper wrote. “I have a window A/C unit to cool my office and when I put these in, I thought it turned off. It took me two or three times of taking them in and out of my ear to realize the headphones were eliminating the sound.”

One reason Martha Stewart looks incredible at 83? Decades of facials at Mario Badescu’s skin care salon. In fact, her facialist shared the star’s go-tos, and one major step in her routine is this very mask.
Stewart’s facialist, Carmela Barabas, shared why she trusts this product on the icon’s near-perfect skin with Vogue UK: “[It] restores skin texture and skin elasticity.” It contains ingredients like collagen and kaolin clay to help draw out oil and impurities from pores for smoother, more youthful-looking skin. All that for just $12? We’ll take three tubs!

In case the idea of applying a snail secretion to your skin has never crossed your mind, take it from a slew of Amazon shoppers — it’s effective! 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.
Snail mucin not only helps boost collagen and elastin for a firmer look and feel, but it can also gently exfoliate for a smoother texture while soothing the skin. Reviewers reported noticing everything from a brighter complexion to a reduction in the appearance of fine lines and dark spots.

Don’t let its release date fool you — though this iPad first burst onto the scene in 2021, it’s still one of the best tablets on the market, ideal for everything from working to playing. At $200, it’s only a dollar more than the lowest price it’s ever been!
“The battery life is great for note-taking,” one reviewer wrote. “It’s super light to carry around and the space gray color I chose is so sleek and classy. It took me about five minutes to set it up.”
Though it was released a couple of years ago, this MacBook Air is just as lightweight as its newer cousins and doesn’t skimp on power thanks to its M2 chip. This is currently the lowest it’s been this year, so we recommend taking advantage of this deal while you still can.
“Eighteen hours of battery life is not just marketing. The speed of the M2 is snappy and can handle much more than I thought it would,” raved one shopper. “The new screen is gorgeous. Trackpad is the best on the market bar none.”

Never lose your luggage, purse — anything, really — again. Just toss one of these smart tags inside the item you want to track, and you’ll be alerted of its whereabouts via your phone. The deal on this 4-pack brings each tag down to $20 (they typically retail for about $25 a pop).
If you’ve been waiting for an Apple Watch to go on major sale, this deal may be the answer to your wishes. This 2023-released SE has everything you need, from trackers for your heart rate and steps to crash detection. This is the lowest price this model has ever been.
“I’ve had this watch for a couple of months and cannot say enough good things!” said one five-star reviewer. “It makes it easy to track workouts and heart rate. Very easy to set up and use, not to mention the battery lasts me two days! Don’t know how I lived without it! Also great for easily seeing my notifications when I’m working from home! Love being able to see work things while moving around my house.”

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.

Never fight with your family members over power outlets again. This electrifying gadget boasts five AC outlets and four USB ports, enough for everyone to charge their devices all at once.

Check out our tech editor’s roundup of the products he can’t live without for gadgets and gizmos aplenty.

You can’t really put a price on having real peace of mind, but we’ll take 40% off! It’s a fabulous price and considering it has over 166,000 five-star ratings, you can feel confident in its effectiveness. It’s easy to set up (mounting hardware is included) and connect to Wi-Fi via the Ring app, so your home will feel more secure in a jiffy.

This No. 1 bestselling, solar-fueled charging bank packs 42,000mAh of power into its (admittedly) bulky frame, and even includes a flashlight that can run continuously for up to 100 hours. Plan on going camping this year? You’d be wise to pack this juuust in case. The starting price is heavily inflated, but you’re still getting it for close to as low as we’ve seen with this deal.
All-time lowest price alert! This No. 1 bestseller might not be the most enormous telly on the market, but if you’re looking for a high-def viewing experience, you won’t be disappointed.

This cool gadget is more than just an alarm clock — though it’s a super-sleek one, at that. In addition to the time, it’ll tell you the weather, play music and even control compatible smart devices.
At close to 45% off, this is the lowest price we’ve ever seen for this brand-new smart speaker. Check out our tech editor’s review for more.
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.”

These No. 1 bestselling pillows are hits among hundreds of thousands of Amazon shoppers (really) and Yahoo readers can’t stop scooping them up, either. They’re made of a cooling gel to help keep those uncomfortable night sweats at bay, and the plush Oeko-Tex Standard certified material will feel like heaven while you sleep.

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.
Not only does it conveniently allow you to see what’s packed inside, but it’s oven-safe up to 1,040°F and can go in the microwave without a lid. You can also store these containers in the freezer if you have leftovers you know you won’t get to right away.
It might not be super frigid just yet, but you’ll be glad you snagged this top-rated space heater for 50% off once the temps start dropping!
It’s compact and portable enough to move from room to room, and while this isn’t the lowest we’ve seen it on sale for, it’s within a few bucks of its best price of 2024.
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.
Check out our roundup of the best nonstick pans for a full review.
The fact that this No. 1 bestseller acts as both a blender and food processor is enough to catch our attention — but knowing it’s currently down to its best price of the year? That puts it over the top.
With a 72-ounce blending pitcher and 8-cup food processor bowl, you’ll be able to whip up frozen margaritas and salsa for a crowd. The 1500-watt motor also makes pulverizing everything from ice to frozen fruit a piece of cake.
Meet your new cuddle buddy. Pairs well with hot apple cider, mystery novels and a glowing fire. Yes, the brand famous for its cushy boots is behind this dreamy couch accessory, which checks off all the right boxes: Its double-sided design makes it super plush, while the combination of flannel and faux fur will feel like heaven against your skin (and you’ll be able to switch things up depending on your mood).

Plus, it can be used to dehydrate food, proof bread and even bake desserts. This price is one of the best we’ve seen it marked down to.
Check out our roundup of the best air fryers for more.
If you’re looking for denim that’s designed for women of all shapes and sizes, Amandas definitely fit the bill (pun intended). They’re a classic high-rise pair that sits at your natural waist and will go with just about anything. And psst … they start at nearly 70% off!
This fan is in love: “Absolutely love, love, love these jeans! They wear well, look great and just get softer with each wash. Will buy again!”
We spotted Michelle Pfeiffer wearing a black turtleneck nearly identical to this one, which is currently on sale for the lowest price we’ve seen — just $28! This classic piece will be perfect for layering under your fall jackets and, when the time comes, your winter puffer. Reviewers like that it’s “not too tight.”

The “rich mom” trend is popping up everywhere and refers to a timeless, effortlessly put-together aesthetic that looks luxurious and expensive but doesn’t necessarily have to break the bank. Case in point: this chic sweatshirt, the epitome of “chic mom running errands” attire. Get it while it’s nearly 50% off.
You could get three of these popular bodysuits for less than the cost of one Skims bodysuit — and some shoppers say this one’s even better than Skims. Made from a soft, breathable polyester-spandex blend, the Brabic hugs you in all the right places; its firm-control midsection sucks in your waist, fans say.
With adjustable straps and full coverage in the back, it even helps lift and shape the bum. A three-hook closure at the crotch makes it bathroom-friendly too — a total must in bodysuits.
If your less-than-glowing chompers could use some restoration, the folks at Crest say these bestselling strips can make teeth up to 20 shades whiter in just 22 days (that’s almost one shade per day!).
According to the brand, you’re guaranteed to have a noticeably whiter smile, and with this kit, you’ll get some bonus express treatments for same-day results. This sale drops the price to as low as we’ve seen it in years. Now that’s something to say “cheese!” about.
These No. 1 bestselling patches use plant-based collagen, vitamin C and hyaluronic acid to hydrate the delicate skin underneath your eyes. They also have a cooling effect to brighten tired eyes, which can give you a more youthful, refreshed appearance.
As the brand itself says, “It’s like an energy drink for your eyes!” Celebs like Leona Lewis also use the eye masks to retain their youthful glow.
This bestselling cream contains three restorative ceramides, moisturizing hyaluronic acid and soothing niacinamide to combat dryness and reduce the appearance of dark circles and puffiness. We also love what it doesn’t contain: The eye cream is fragrance-free, hypoallergenic and noncomedogenic, which means it won’t clog pores.
Never again juggle a brush in one hand and a bulky hairdryer in the other. This 2-in-1 appliance dries and straightens at the same time for sleeker, smoother tresses — no visit to the salon necessary.
If you’re not ready to splurge on the Dyson Airwrap, this is a great bet. And while the $134 original price looks to be exaggerated, the on-sale price of $30 makes this a highly worthwhile deal.

These No. 1 bestselling fabric-softening balls can be reused for over a thousand laundry loads. They’re made entirely of wool, and not only will they make your washables plush, they’ll shorten their drying time in the process. What’s more, they’ll save you tons of money on not-so-eco-friendly dryer sheets. Consider them our favorite laundry hack.
Stay juiced up on the road, courtesy of this nifty (and extremely wallet-friendly) charger.

This is as low as we’ve ever seen it on sale for — nearly 80% off.
If there’s anything you can’t have too many of, it’s socks, and with this pack you’re getting Adidas quality for under $3 a pair. The no-show design means you can wear ’em with any sneaker and they’ll be nice and hidden, plus they’re moisture-wicking and have extra cushioning to keep your feet dry and comfy all day. They’re currently down to one of their lowest prices of the year.
Oven mitts, pot holders and kitchen towels need to be replaced every so often, and if yours are ready to be tossed, this set is an excellent deal. Because it’s KitchenAid, you know you’re getting a quality product, and what sets the included oven mitt apart is the fact that it has nonstick silicone grips for more confident handling of hot pots and pans.
At 60% off, this is just about as low as it’s been all year, so you might want to stock up on a few sets.
If your ratty old dish towels have seen better days, this 100% cotton set is an excellent swap. The waffle weave pattern not only looks nice, but it also offers a bit of texture for more effective scrubbing.
This is about as low as these kitchen staples have ever been on sale for.
