Sandwiched between July’s Prime Day and November’s Black Friday is yet another Amazon-concocted shopping event: Prime Big Deal Days. And in our experience, the deals during this event are usually worse than what you can find at either of those two major sales.But it’s better than nothing, and we’re here to help you find deals that are actually worth grabbing.Now in its fourth year, this two-day event is being marketed as the start of the holiday shopping season — and there is some truth to that claim. It’s a chance to save on gifts and winter gear a tad early and avoid possible sellouts later. You can also find deals on summer stock that’s now off-season and Apple devices that didn’t get refreshed in September, such as iPads or MacBooks.To make it even easier to shop, we’ve pulled together a list of all the October Prime Day deals that meet our exacting standards. Every item on this page — from headphones and laptops to moisturizers and sleep masks — is a product that our journalists have tested, reviewed, and deemed to be one of the best in its category. On top of that, the Wirecutter Deals team tracks prices all year round to confirm that the discount you’re seeing today is actually good, not just a percentage taken off an artificially inflated price.So take a scroll and see what catches your eye, with full confidence that you’re getting a genuinely good deal — and a head start on holiday shopping. If you’re looking for something more specific, we’ve also curated roundups across several categories, including toys and games, travel gear, and things that make good gifts. But the Wirecutter Deals team will continue to keep this page updated with the best of the best. (Just remember: You may need a Prime account to secure some of the prices below.)
