I’ve covered Prime Day deals for over 5 years — these are the best ones under $50

October Prime Day (technically called Prime Big Deal Days) is happening now through October 7, and you can stock your cart with notable deals on brands like Medicube, Lysol and Waterpik, all under $50 and exclusive to Prime members. Whether you’re getting an early start on holiday shopping or stocking up on everyday essentials, you can shop sales on household items, beauty products, vacuums and more without breaking the bank. I’ve covered shopping events like Amazon Prime Day, Black Friday and Cyber Monday for over five years as an editor for NBC Selected, so I know how to find deals that are actually worth buying. I spent weeks combing through thousands of discounts to find the best October Prime Day deals under $50 — each one I recommend below is highly rated and 20 percent off or more, as well as at its lowest price in at least three months. I’ll frequently update this list throughout Prime Big Deal Days with editor-approved picks. Want more from NBC Selected? Sign up for our newsletter, The Selection, and shop smarter. Best October Prime Day deals under $50 This dish soap spray not only gets rid of grease and grime on your dishes, but it’s also gentle enough to clean surfaces like countertops and sinks, according to the brand. The value bundle comes with a spray bottle and three dish soap refills. These Lumineux whitening strips are one of our favorite at-home whitening treatments. They’re not made with peroxides that can irritate sensitive gums. The gel formula helps remove yellow plaque and break up stains on teeth, according to the brand. You apply the strips once daily for 30 minutes for seven consecutive days. This pack comes with 21 treatments, which is a three-month supply. After reviewing Medicube for months, our NBC Selected editors determined it’s actually worth the hype. Right now, Amazon is discounting a ton of the brand’s bestselling products, including the Booster Pro X2, Deep Vitamin C Capsule Cream, Salmon PDRN Pink Collagen Jelly Gel Mask and Collagen Night Wrapping Mask. This cream has a light, jelly-like texture and has a pink tint at first, but dries down to a transparent finish after you apply it. The Amazon Smart Plug lets you control devices like lamps, fans and small kitchen appliances directly on an app or via voice commands. You can set timers, schedules and routines on the app, and the plug is compact enough to keep your second outlet free. Mix this collagen powder into either hot and cold beverages, including water, smoothies, coffee and tea. It has collagen sourced from grass-fed, pasture-raised bovine, vitamin C and hyaluronic acid to keep bones, joints, nails and hair healthy, according to the brand. This ADA-accepted water flosser has 10 pressure settings and a 22-ounce, dishwasher-safe water reservoir. You can use one of the seven included tips to clean different areas of your teeth, according to the brand. The water flosser also has a one-minute timer with a 30-second pacer to help you brush the expert-recommended two minutes. Organize your charging cables, cords, portable chargers and more with this compact pouch. It has two layers of storage space to hold all your devices and chargers in one place. It’s also water-resistant to give you peace of mind while you travel. This lip mask is a tried and true NBC Select editor favorite and leaves lips hydrated and glossy. It comes in a range of scents and includes a tiny spatula, so you don’t have to use your fingers to apply it. This bundle comes with four packs of Lysol Disinfectant Wipes, each of which have 80 wipes (320 total). Use these to wipe messes and disinfect bathrooms, classrooms, seats on public transportation and more. Packs come in three different scents: lemon lime, mango hibiscus and crisp linen. If you’re stocking up on household essentials this October Prime Day, consider this pack of 48 AA and AAA Energizer batteries (24 each). They can last up to 10 years in storage (which means you don’t have to worry about using them right away). Take these ready-to-drink protein shakes to the gym, work or anywhere else you’ll need a morning or afternoon snack. Each shake has 26 grams of protein and is lactose-free. You can buy this pack of 12 in three flavors, including chocolate, strawberry banana and vanilla (all of which are currently on sale). This fragrance-free cleanser is excellent for dry, sensitive skin. It has glycerin, ceramides and niacinamide to repair and maintain the skin’s natural moisture barrier. Plus, the pump applicator makes it easy to use and mess-free. These expert-recommended pimple patches help heal breakouts using hydrocolloid, a fluid-absorbing gel that draws out gunk, sebum and debris from your pimples, according to the brand. The patch has a translucent matte finish that blends into your skin tone. Stock up on dishwasher tablets this fall Prime Day with this 59-pack from Cascade. The pods soak, scrub and rinse dishes while leaving behind a fresh, clean scent. This is my favorite body wash and I’ve gotten most of my friends and family hooked on it, too. It lathers nicely, moisturizes my skin and smells great. Plus, the bergamot and hinoki scent actually lasts on my skin. It comes in four more scents, all of which are on sale for Prime Day. Ring’s doorbell camera lets you monitor your space using your phone, tablet or computer and get real-time notifications. The Wi-Fi-equipped camera pairs with the companion Ring app, so you can see, hear and speak to visitors. It works with Amazon Alexa voice assistant, too. This Olaplex set comes with full sizes of the No.4 Bond Maintenance Shampoo, the No.5 Bond Maintenance Conditioner and the No.7 Bonding Oil to hydrate, detangle and protect your hair from heat, according to the brand. Each product is suitable for all hair types. I have multiple Casper pillows I use every night; they’re incredibly soft, breathable and durable (they’ve lasted me multiple years without any snags or rips). I also love that they keep their shape, so I don’t have to worry about constantly fluffing them. This pillow has a medium-soft feel, which helps keep your head and neck aligned in any sleep position, according to the brand. This kitchen gadget lets you make fresh popcorn at home It has a built-in measuring cup on the lid for kernels, so you can pour them into the popper and microwave it for about three minutes. The top also has holes that melt butter onto the popcorn. This toner is one of our favorite liquid exfoliants because it helps unclog pores and smooth fine lines, according to the brand. “I can actually notice a difference in the size of my pores after using this product a few times,” says NBC Selected commerce editor Cory Fernandez. “It also doesn’t sting or irritate my seborrheic dermatitis at all, which is always a plus.” This Dae taming wand is a favorite among our editors, who say it keeps frizz, flyaways and baby hairs at bay for hours. I use it every time to keep flyaways down when my hair is in a bun or ponytail. The tube has Dae’s viral styling cream (which is also on sale) inside, and it never makes my hair look or feel crunchy. According to experts in our guide to snail mucin, the buzzy ingredient hydrates and plumps skin while also targeting fine lines. This Cosrx serum, one of our favorite facial essences, is lightweight and hypoallergenic, meaning it’s safe for sensitive skin, according to the brand. Lowest price ever The detergent inside each of these Tide Pods helps clean, fight odors, remove stains, protect colors and keep your clothes smelling fresh, according to the brand. You get 63 Tide Pods in this pack, which come in a resealable container. AncestryDNA analyzes your DNA to trace your origins and ethnicities and find your distant relatives by scanning over 3,600 regions worldwide. The process includes sending a saliva sample in the included prepaid package to the AncestryDNA lab, and you’ll get your results online in six to eight weeks, according to the service. Tower 28’s tinted SPF is a favorite among NBC Selected editors, including myself. It has enough coverage to even out my skin tone and cover up my redness, so I can use the sunscreen in lieu of foundation. It has the National Eczema Association’s Seal of Acceptance, which means it’s safe for sensitive skin, plus it’s fragrance-free, alcohol-free and noncomedogenic. My 8-year-old dog Havanese and bichon frise mix, Bella, loves these Pupgum dental chews from Spot & Tango, which are currently at their lowest price ever. Each pack comes with 28 chews that help scrape away build up on your dog’s teeth and freshen their breath. You can choose from three sizes: small (for dogs up to 15 pounds), medium (up to 40 pounds) and large (41 pounds or more). I’m very careful about using face towels because they can harbor bacteria quickly. I started using these disposable towels to dry my face after washing it, and it’s become a staple in my daily routine. Since I go through them quickly, I jump on any opportunity to get them on sale (especially if it comes in a multipack). Sol de Janeiro’s body creams have some of my favorite scents, and they make my skin feel soft and hydrated. This classic Cheirosa 62 scent has notes of pistachio, salted caramel and vanilla. Plus, the cream has caffeine and coconut oil to tighten and soften skin, according to the brand.
