Can’t wait to get started on your fall shopping? Me neither. Prime Big Deal Days will be here in just one week, but there are some killer deals you can shop right now without having to wait another second.
Right now Amazon is holding a Prime Day preview sale on everything from appliances to apparel. But my favorite discounts are on Amazon’s smart home devices.
In particular, I have my eye on the super affordable Ring Battery Doorbell on sale for $49 at Amazon. And if you’re in the mood to get a lot of reading done this fall, the Kindle Scribe is on sale for $299 at Amazon ($100 off.)
