I’m a deals expert and these are the October Prime Day deals I recommend – save on GrubHub, Apple, Skechers and more
Prime Day deals are back! Although Prime Big Deal Days doesn’t start till October 7, Amazon is kicking off the weekend with a barrage of deals that are just as good — if not better — than the Prime Day deals I saw back in July.
I’ve covered every Prime Day and Amazon is renown for starting its sales ahead of the actual start date. And that’s precisely what’s happening this weekend. For example, right now Amazon devices are on sale from $12. It includes some of our favorite devices like the Editor’s Choice Blink Outdoor 4 for $34 and this Echo Dot Star Wars TIE Fighter Bundle for $84.
Fall apparel is also undergoing aggressive price cuts. Skechers sneakers and apparel are on sale from $24, whereas Columbia footwear and apparel are on sale from $15. Tom’s Guide mattress team has also gathered their favorite Amazon Prime Day mattress sales.
With so many deals going live this weekend, it can be overwhelming to sort through everything. So I’ve rounded up my favorite can’t-miss deals this weekend. For more savings, you can also check out our list of the best Amazon promo codes.
