October Prime Day is here. To find all the best deals in every category, follow all of our Prime Day coverage.
It’s crunch time as we’ve officially entered the final few hours of October Prime Day (a.k.a. Prime Big Deal Days). Yesterday, we saw some of the largest discounts on higher-ticket items, like cordless vacuums from Dyson and Apple’s AirPods Max (which were at their lowest price ever). As we approach the finish line, there’s no better time to score on more affordable items, say, those under 50 bucks. I’m talking about daily necessities like deodorant, shampoo, and pimple patches but also smaller (and highly giftable) treats, such as a mini Sony speaker or Ghia’s spirit-free boxed set.
I’ve covered Prime Day for many years now, so I know how to choose the very best deals for under $50. The beauty section is where I found many of the most impressive ones, from the hair-growth serum Sephora employees told us customers never exchange to Osea’s editor-beloved body oil. I also spotted some delightful preholiday offerings, including fall-leaves-scented hand soap, Staub’s pumpkin-shaped cocotte, and a tiny artificial Christmas tree. Below, you’ll find many actually worth-it deals in other categories ranging from pet supplies and tech to toys and more.
A final reminder: These deals are fleeting and will expire tonight at exactly 11:59 p.m. PT (2:59 a.m. ET on Thursday, October 10). If you want to find even more sales, check out our mega hub of the best October Prime Day deals. And don’t forget our highly curated list of the very best Prime Day deals according to Strategist writers.
The Deals I Personally Think Are the Best
I’ll be adding the three products below to my cart today (and I think you should, too). I’m restocking Bioderma’s shower oil, which works great for shaving, and as an avid user of our best dry shampoo from Klorane, it’s about time for a re-up. I moved last month and had to put my go-to coffee machine in storage, so I’ve been eyeing the portable AeroPress. It’s one of our best single-serve coffee makers, and sources say it makes a more consistent cup than pour-over.
More Great Deals I Spotted
