October Prime Day deals are live: The best Amazon sales from Hanes, Carhartt, Apple and more during Big Deal Days

Amazon's October Prime Day is here — and the retail giant is delivering the deals. Amazon It's here! Amazon Big Deal Days, also known as October Prime Day, is in full swing. This savings event runs through the end of the day tomorrow, Oct. 7, so you have some time to plan your shopping strategy — but not unlimited time. Luckily for you, we've done all of the legwork (or "scroll work," as it were) to separate the real deals from the blah of bargains, so you know exactly what's worth adding to your cart … and what's best to save for later. ✔ The best Prime Day deals today Hanes Men's Full-Zip Eco-Smart Hoodie ($10, was $28): Nearly 65% off a bestsellerApple AirPods Pro 3 ($179, was $249): Rare $70 off Shark Pet Cordless Stick Vacuum ($150, was $300): 50% offLevi's Women's Classic Straight Jeans ($22, was $60): Over 60% offNinja Flip Air Fryer and Toaster Oven Combo ($150, was $250): $100 off ✔ New Prime Day deals Medicube Zero Pore Pads ($15, was $19): Rare over 20% off Ugg Whitecap Throw Blanket ($54, was $108): Rare 50% offApple 2026 MacBook Air Laptop ($1,099, was $1,299): $200 off ✔ What to wait on this Prime Day (and how we pick the best deals) Our writers and editors are deal-hunting experts who verify price drops, star ratings and more to help you save money and shop with confidence. Some deals are sneaky: starting prices can be inflated to make discounts look more impressive, and some items are cheaper elsewhere (or we expect a bigger price drop later this year for Black Friday). So we're here to do the hard work for you. Want to know what to skip this Prime Day? Here's what our experts recommend waiting to buy until later this year:• High-end electronics: While we've found some strong tech deals, especially on Amazon devices, mid-range brands and smaller accessories like Apple AirPods, the biggest markdowns on higher-priced tech typically come during Cyber Monday, so it's probably worth waiting a little longer.• Large home appliances: While there are some very worthwhile deals on vacuums and small kitchen appliances, we'll see the deepest discounts on bigger home appliances, like refrigerators and washing machines, come Black Friday.• Toys: Aside from a few smart seasonal buys, like this sale on Lego advent calendars (grab one now, because they're unlikely to be discounted in November when everyone else is shopping for them), we'd skip other toys, as Black Friday is a better time to snag gifts. Our top October Amazon Prime Day deals Best Amazon deals: Style From our style expert: Cozy, mid-weight fall staples have been sitting on retailer shelves since back-to-school season, which means they're most likely to see steep discounts right now. That's because brands need to make room for heavier winter staples like coats and boots. I'd suggest waiting on those heavier layers for now and instead taking a close look at mid-weight jackets (denim, leather, barn coats, shackets, etc.), jeans and sweaters, which will probably all be marked down this week.

Now's a great time to get prepared for holiday visitors and the house cleaning that hosting inevitably requires. I'm seeing discounts of $100 or more from all the big brands, like Shark, Bissell and Dyson — plus major deals on robot vacs. What I'd wait on are towels and sheets. While you can find some great deals on Prime Day, most brands will drop prices even further in January during "white sales."

Now is a smart time to stock up on smaller kitchen appliances, like air fryers, food processors and immersion blenders for less. (When it comes to larger appliances, like refrigerators and dishwashers, you'll want to wait until Black Friday if you can.) Need some new cookware? You can also find deals on pots, pans and knife sets, but make sure the discounts are really substantial if you're going to purchase now, as practically every big brand will have serious sales come November.

And with holiday travel right around the corner, I'd look for deals on travel tech and accessories — portable chargers, AirTags, charging cables and noise-cancelling headphones are much cheaper on sale than at the airport when you realize you need them. Laptops and TVs can absolutely be worth buying too, but check the price history — with Black Friday less than two months away, you don't need to jump on a mediocre deal.

On that note, my advice is to grab a good barrier-repair serum and some rich eye cream while it's on sale. Also, keep an eye on Amazon's Premium Beauty shop, where brands that rarely go on sale tend to show up with impressive discounts — some even up to 30%!
