Amazon’s fall sale officially runs October 6th and 7th, but plenty of the discounts you’d expect to see that week are already up. Here are 20 worth a look right now.
Amazon’s second Prime Day of the year, officially branded Prime Big Deal Days, doesn’t kick off until October 6th at 12:01AM PT, running through the 7th. But as has become standard practice, Amazon’s started rolling out early discounts well ahead of the actual event, and plenty of them are worth grabbing before the floodgates open and everything gets buried under a mountain of listings. New deals during the event itself tend to drop in waves throughout the day, which makes the days leading up to it a good window to shop without the usual chaos of refreshing a page every hour hoping something better shows up.
One thing worth repeating every time one of these sales rolls around: these are Prime-member-only deals, early ones included. If you let your membership lapse or never signed up in the first place, you won’t be able to check out at the discounted price no matter how good the listing looks. Amazon’s standard plan runs $14.99 a month or $139 a year, though there are cheaper paths in if you qualify — a $7.49-a-month tier for college students and young adults between 18 and 24, and a $6.99-a-month Prime Access tier for people on government assistance programs like SNAP or Medicaid. All of them come with at least a 30-day free trial, which is plenty of time to sign up, shop the sale, and decide afterward whether the membership is worth keeping.
With that out of the way, here are 20 of the better early deals currently live, spanning TVs, smart home gear, gaming, and the usual pile of vacuums and kitchen appliances that seem to headline every one of these sales:

It’s a pretty representative spread of what Big Deal Days tends to favor each year — TVs and monitors for the people who held off since the summer sale, smart home basics like Ring and eero that are reliably marked down every cycle, and enough small-appliance and vacuum deals to make it feel like Amazon is personally trying to get you to clean your house before the holidays. The gaming deals are a bit of a wildcard addition this time around, but with two well-reviewed RPGs at half price, it’s an easy category to recommend even outside the usual hardware and home-goods rotation.
Expect this list to keep shifting as the actual event approaches — Amazon tends to layer in invite-only deals and flash sales in the final days before Big Deal Days officially starts, and some of what’s live now may sell out or get replaced by better markdowns once the 6th rolls around. As always, it’s worth price-checking anything big-ticket before buying; percentage-off numbers can look more dramatic than they are once you account for how often the “original” price was inflated to begin with.
