October Prime Day (technically called Prime Big Deal Days) is happening now through October 7, offering discounts across categories, exclusive to Prime members<\/a>. Some of the top newly added deals are Blink\u2019s video doorbell<\/a> and Tide Pods<\/a> \u2014 they also happen to be at their lowest price ever. <\/p>\n

I frequently cover shopping events like Amazon Prime Day, Black Friday and Cyber Monday as a reporter for NBC Selected, so I know how to find deals that are actually worth buying<\/a>. I spent weeks combing through thousands of discounts to find the best October Prime Day deals \u2014 each one I recommend below is highly rated and 20 percent off or more, as well as at its lowest price in at least three months. I\u2019ll frequently update this list throughout Prime Big Deal Days with my editor-approved picks.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\"Apple<\/a>\"Apple<\/a><\/p>\n

Apple\u2019s AirPods Pro 3 made our list of the best earbuds<\/a>, and I use mine every day while listening to music on runs, taking calls and blocking out noisy city streets. They\u2019re comfortable and secure in my ears even when I get sweaty \u2014- they come with five interchangeable ear tips so you can find the right fit. The AirPods have three listening modes, including active noise cancellation, hours of battery life with the included charging case and advanced features like heart rate sensing during workouts, hearing aid mode and live language translation. <\/p>\n

\"Cascade<\/a><\/p>\n

The most boring essentials on your shopping list are often the best deals to take advantage of during Prime Big Deal Days \u2014 you\u2019ll need to restock eventually, so you might as well do it when items are discounted. Cascade\u2019s dishwasher pods<\/a> are a perfect example. They come in a pack of 62, and with the discount applied, you\u2019re only paying about 0.28 per pod. Each one has soap inside that gets rid of grease and food residue, and it cleans your dishwasher\u2019s filter, too.<\/p>\n

\"Medicube<\/a><\/p>\n

Exfoliating with Medicube<\/a>\u2019s Zero Pore Pads every other night has transformed my skin in the past year. The pads are soaked in a serum made with AHAs<\/a> and BHAs<\/a>, ingredients that have made my skin noticeably softer, smoother and clearer. There\u2019s two sides to the pads: you use the textured one first to remove dead skin cells, then the soft one to soothe. The pads come with a tweezer, preventing you from touching those inside the container with dirty hands.<\/p>\n

\"Samsonite<\/a><\/p>\n

I\u2019ve beat up my Samsonite luggage<\/a> while traveling over the years, but it still works perfectly, looks great and, perhaps most importantly, fits all my stuff. You get a matching expandable carry-on<\/a> and checked bag with this set, both of which are lightweight and made with hard, protective exteriors. The suitcases have spacious interiors with elastic straps, a divider and a pouch for organization, plus they\u2019re designed with smoothly gliding wheels, a built-in ID tag, a height-adjustable handle and a TSA-approved lock.<\/p>\n

Lowest price ever<\/p>\n

\"Amazon<\/a><\/p>\n

Once you connect devices like lamps, fans and small kitchen appliances to the Amazon Smart Plug, you can control them through an app or via voice commands. The app also lets you set timers, schedules and routines \u2014 for example, I connect my Christmas lights to this smart plug<\/a> and create a schedule for them so they turn on at 10 a.m. and turn off at 10 p.m. The plug is compact to keep your second outlet free.<\/p>\n

\"Shark<\/a><\/p>\n

I rely on this corded vacuum<\/a> to get rid of dirt, dust and hair on hard floors and carpets in my three-pet home. It has powerful suction, a multi-stage washable HEPA filter to trap allergens and a swivel steering system that makes it easy to navigate. My favorite part of the vacuum is the detachable pod, which I carry around my home and use the extended reach tool to clean above door frames, under furniture and on stairs. Interchangeable wide upholstery and crevice attachments for the extended reach tool are included.<\/p>\n

Lowest price ever<\/p>\n

\"Dawn<\/a><\/p>\n

I\u2019m very picky about dish soap<\/a> because I don\u2019t have a dishwasher<\/a>, and out of all the options I\u2019ve tested, Dawn Powerwash Spray is hands-down the best one. It easily removes dirt and grime from my dishes without pre-soaking, and it leaves them literally sparkling. Also, since the soap works without water, I don\u2019t turn my faucet on until I\u2019m ready to rinse. Beyond washing dishes, you can use Dawn\u2019s spray on laundry stains, kitchen surfaces, appliances and grills, according to the brand. This starter kit comes with four bottles of liquid and one reusable sprayer head.<\/p>\n

Lowest price ever<\/p>\n

\"Amazon<\/a><\/p>\n

We named the Paperwhite Amazon\u2019s best Kindle<\/a> because of its extra-long battery life that lasts up to 12 weeks. It also has a front light that automatically adjusts depending on your environment, helping you see the glare-free screen clearly. The Kindle Paperwhite is water-resistant, and you can charge it via the USB-C port or wirelessly with a charging dock<\/a> that\u2019s sold separately.<\/p>\n

\"Crest<\/a><\/p>\n

Editor\u2019s note: This product dropped to $34.99 for a few days in August, but because it\u2019s over 20% off, highly rated and a NBC Selected editor- and reader- favorite product, we still recommend the deal.<\/p>\n

Out of all the teeth whitening strips<\/a> I\u2019ve tested, Crest\u2019s are the most effective and easiest to apply, plus they\u2019re comfortable and stay in place \u2014 they\u2019re so thin that I can have full conversations while wearing them. Each strip is coated in hydrogen peroxide, a bleaching ingredient that removes stains and brightens your smile, according to the brand. You get enough strips for 22 45-minute treatments with this pack.<\/p>\n

Lowest price ever<\/p>\n

\"Hefty<\/a><\/p>\n

These trash bags are multi-layered and slightly stretchy to prevent leaks and rips while you fill them to the brim, and they have a drawstring closure to keep everything inside once full. They\u2019re also made with baking soda and added fragrance to neutralize odors. You get 80 13-gallon bags in this pack.<\/p>\n

\"iRobot<\/a><\/p>\n

This robot vacuum<\/a> suctions up dirt and debris, and it has a built-in mop that scrubs floors to leave them shiny. It\u2019s designed with sensors that map your home to detect and avoid obstacles, and it connects to the Roomba Home app so you can select cleaning modes, create cleaning schedules, adjust suction level and more. You can also set keep-out and no-mop zones where needed, like on area rugs. The appliance comes with a charging dock, reusable microfiber mopping pad and edge sweeping brush. <\/p>\n

\"KitchenAid<\/a><\/p>\n

These were one of my best purchases during last year\u2019s Prime Big Deal Days. Their ribbed silicone exterior helps me grip hot pots and pans, and they\u2019re heat-resistant up to 500 degrees Fahrenheit, according to the brand. The material is also water-resistant, so I don\u2019t worry about spills or splashes. The inside of the mitts are lined with cotton, making them soft against my skin.<\/p>\n

\"Premier<\/a><\/p>\n

Premier Protein\u2019s shakes are ideal for snacking on the go. Each one has 30 grams of protein, no added sugar and 160 calories, according to the brand, plus they\u2019re gluten-free. They come in over a dozen creamy flavors, like chocolate, vanilla, cookies and cream, cafe latte and pumpkin spice, almost all of which are currently on sale.<\/p>\n

\"Anker<\/a><\/p>\n

Never worry about a dead phone or earbuds again with Anker\u2019s Nano Power Bank, which has a built-in folding USB-C connector, eliminating the need for a cable. It fits in the palm of your hand and weighs 3.5 ounces, so you can put it in any bag or even your pocket. The Nano comes with a charging cable when you need to refill its battery, or you can connect it directly to a block.<\/p>\n

Lowest price ever<\/p>\n

\"Colgate<\/a><\/p>\n

Colgate\u2019s toothpaste<\/a> is made with 5 percent hydrogen peroxide, a bleaching ingredient that helps remove stains from teeth and make your smile less yellow. There\u2019s also cavity-fighting fluoride in its formula. The minty whitening toothpaste<\/a> is safe for daily use and doesn\u2019t cause tooth sensitivity<\/a>, according to the brand.<\/p>\n

\"Amazon<\/a><\/p>\n

Turn any TV<\/a> into a smart TV with Amazon\u2019s Fire Stick, which you simply plug into an HDMI port to use. It lets you stream entertainment<\/a> from your favorite platforms and watch live TV in HD. The Fire Stick comes with a remote that lets you control the TV via buttons or voice commands. It\u2019s also compact so it won\u2019t block other ports.<\/p>\n

Lowest price ever<\/p>\n

\"Waterpik<\/a><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re not a fan of thread floss or floss pickers, using a water flosser<\/a> is another way to get rid of plaque. This one is a NBC Selected Wellness Award winner<\/a> with three pressure settings and a rechargeable battery that lasts up to four weeks, according to the brand. It comes with four interchangeable tips that rotate 360 degrees, letting you reach all parts of your mouth, and the built-in reservoir on its handle holds enough water for a 45-second clean.<\/p>\n

Lowest price ever<\/p>\n

\"Blink<\/a><\/p>\n

You can monitor visitors and deliveries at all times with Blink\u2019s video doorbell. It connects to the brand\u2019s app, letting you livestream head-to-toe video (including in night vision) and audio, as well as speak to people. The doorbell runs on two AA batteries, comes with a mounting kit and you can install it wire-free. There\u2019s also a Blink subscription available for an additional fee, which gives you access to features like in-app person detection and motion-activated notifications.<\/p>\n

Lowest price ever<\/p>\n

\"Tide<\/a><\/p>\n

These Tide Pods don\u2019t just clean clothes. The detergent<\/a> inside each one also fights odors, pre-treats and removes stains, protects colors and boosts scents, according to the brand. I use them for all my laundry, including sweaty workout clothes and my pets\u2019 beds, and I\u2019ve never had an issue with them not dissolving, even in cold water. You get 63 Tide Pods in this pack, which come in a resealable container.<\/p>\n

\"Bissell<\/a><\/p>\n

I firmly believe that every home should have a Bissell Little Green machine due to how many times mine has saved carpets<\/a> and upholstered furniture that would have otherwise been unsalvageable. You fill one of the tanks with a cleaning solution and use the nozzle to spray the mess, scrub it and suction it up. The dirty solution goes into a separate tank, which you remove when you\u2019re done to pour the liquid down the drain. The appliance comes with a self-cleaning attachment, a stain tool, a crevice tool and cleaning solution concentrate.<\/p>\n

\"Energizer<\/a><\/p>\n

I always buy batteries when they\u2019re on sale so I never run out at home. This pack comes with 24 AAs and 24 AAAs, and they last for up to 10 years in storage, according to the brand.<\/p>\n

\"Casper<\/a><\/p>\n

The Casper Sleep Original Pillow is a NBC Selected staff-favorite product, and many of us rest our heads on it every night. It\u2019s stuffed with a down alternative material, has a breathable cotton cover and gets its medium-soft feel from a two-layer design: the inner layer is firmer to offer support, while outer layer is plush for extra comfort. The pillow<\/a> is machine-washable and clump-resistant.<\/p>\n

\"Laneige<\/a><\/p>\n

Key ingredients: murumuru butter, shea butter<\/p>\n

Laneige\u2019s lip balm<\/a> gives my lips a sheer tint and a glossy finish while moisturizing them with ingredients like shea and murumuru seed butters. It keeps my lips softer throughout the day and feels lightweight. I wear it on its own, and I often layer it over matte lipstick.<\/p>\n

Prime Big Deal Days historically offers Prime members some of the lowest prices of the year across categories, and these limited-time deals only last through October 7. All of my recommendations above are based on NBC Selected\u2019s previous reporting. I prioritized including award-winning products and those our team has tested.<\/p>\n

I evaluated the quality of these deals by running them through price trackers like CamelCamelCamel, and I only included those that:<\/p>\n

Are at their lowest price in at least three monthsAre 20% off or moreAre highly rated with at least a 4.0-star average rating from hundreds of customers on AmazonFrequently asked questions<\/p>\n

When does October Prime Day end?<\/p>\n

October Prime Day ends at 11:59 p.m. PT on October 7 \u2014 that\u2019s October 8 at 2:59 a.m. ET, 1:59 a.m. CT and 12:59 a.m. MT.<\/p>\n

What is the October Prime Day return policy?<\/p>\n

Amazon doesn\u2019t have a Prime Day-specific return policy<\/a>. You can return most Amazon purchases within 30 days of delivery and get your money back as long as they\u2019re in original or unused condition. There are exceptions, however, so read the fine print before buying anything.<\/p>\n

What are the best deals on October Prime Day?<\/p>\n

The best deals on October Prime Day usually center around Amazon-owned technology like Echo<\/a>, Fire<\/a>, Blink<\/a> and Ring<\/a> devices, small home and kitchen appliances<\/a>, beauty products<\/a>, household basics and groceries. Additionally, because this sale is in the fall, it unofficially kicks off the holiday shopping season, so brands discount popular gifts like gift cards and toys, as well as Advent calendars<\/a> and themed decor. You\u2019ll also be able to shop Amazon\u2019s Lightning Deals during the event: They\u2019re lucrative flash sales that give shoppers a short window to purchase limited quantities of specific products.<\/p>\n

What things are cheaper on October Prime Day?<\/p>\n

Products across all categories are generally cheaper on October Prime Day, with many brands discounting products by over 20 percent. Prices on tech, household essentials and groceries, small home and kitchen appliances, beauty products, giftable items and holiday decor tend to drop the most overall.<\/p>\n

Is October Prime Day actually worth it?<\/p>\n

Yes, October Prime Day is actually worth it, so long as you shop strategically. The sale offers some of the lowest prices of the year on products across categories, giving you a chance to start shopping for holiday gifts, upgrade outdated or broken items and restock your favorite basics, like skin care, cleaning supplies and groceries. But ultimately, deals are only worth it if you actually need something, so plan your spending to prevent making impulse purchases.<\/p>\n
