15 October Prime Day Deals PEOPLE Shopping Experts Are Buying for Our Homes, Pets, and Upcoming Trips

When you shop on Amazon for a living, you become good at shopping on Amazon. Like, really really good.

Through our deal-hunting work at PEOPLE Shopping, my colleagues and I have become masters of the many website filters, semi-hidden landing pages, and hidden search terms that lead us to the best products at the best prices. And along the way, we end up doing a little shopping for ourselves. As we prepared for October’s Prime Day, which started this morning and runs through tomorrow, I asked my co-workers what they would buy during the sale.

Specials include a best-selling knife sharpener marked down from $30 to $10, an ingenious “fur clipper” and a pair of top-rated sweatpants just in time for the cozy season.

The 90 best products we tested in 2023 are now on sale on Amazon

Revlon hair dryer and styler in one step

Amazon

Buy on Amazon $50 $34

“I saw the light of the hair dryer brush and I was amazed. The round brush I have now is too big for my thin hair, so I’ll give it to a friend if this viral Revlon styler lives up to the hype (45,000+ five-star ratings give me hope!)”—Nicola Fumo, shopping writer and editor

Yovela High waist sweatpants

Amazon

Buy on Amazon $46 $24

“I’m using October Prime Day to finally replace some of my beloved sweatpants that I bought at the start of the pandemic. We featured this top-rated couple in a story earlier this month, and I haven’t stopped thinking about them since. I love their baggy silhouette and all the different colors they come in (21 to be exact).”—Lindsey Greenfeld, Shop Editor

Stasher 1/2 Gallon Reusable Storage Bag

Amazon

Buy on Amazon $22 $18

“I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again — I buy Stasher bags every Amazon Prime Day, and I really think you should too. I never use at least three of these indestructible silicone storage bags at any given time.”—Laura Gurfein, store manager

Belif The True Cream moisturizing cream

Amazon

Buy on Amazon $38 $27

“Now is also the perfect time to stock up on my favorite moisturizer. I’ve been using the Belief Aqua Bomb for years now and I’m totally obsessed with its lightweight formula that absorbs quickly into my skin, not to mention it leaves my face and neck feeling soft and supple throughout the day. It’s one of the few empty bottles in my skincare routine.”—Lindsey Greenfeld, Shop Editor

Levoit air purifier

Amazon

Buy on Amazon $100 $85

“My allergies have been terrible lately, and after doing a little research, I think my home could really benefit from an air purifier. I had my eye on this Levoit because it is compact and there are multiple filter options that you can choose to best suit your needs. I’ll probably get a pet filter to help with the dander and odor.”—Alex Nelson, Trade Editor and Strategist

Unnivoll muslin burp cloths

Amazon

Buy on Amazon $30 $20

“I’m due in a little over a month and everyone (including TikTok) keeps telling me I need a boatload of burp cloths. These extra large gradient colored muslin fabrics are sure to cover a large area to protect against spit up (oh, the glamour). Safety is paramount, though, and they’re certified to meet Consumer Product Safety Commission guidelines.”Lindsey Metrus, Store Manager

Qggqdd 3-pack of high-waisted cycling shorts

Amazon

Buy on Amazon $22 $16

“I can’t stop buying these buttery soft cycling pants. I add them to my cart during every sale event on Amazon, because they are truly my favorite pair of shorts that I wear 24/7. I wear them while running errands, during light training and for sleeping. If they are clean, I put them on. And to increase my chances of finding clean bike pants in my drawers, I always buy more when they’re on sale.”—Erin Johnson, Senior Shopping Editor

Kitchellence 4-in-1 knife sharpener

Amazon

Buy on Amazon $30 $10

“I’m so impressed with this knife sharpener that I’m buying one for my brother, and it’s only $10. I knew my knives were dull, but I didn’t realize how much until I used this clever find. With just a few swipes, my knives functioned as if they were brand new.”—Jessica Leigh Mattern, Amazon Store Director

Liquid IV Hydration multiplier without sugar

Amazon

Buy on Amazon $25 $0

“The IV fluid packets make reaching my daily water goal so easy, but the habit can add up. The sugar-free version (which I prefer) is 30 percent off for Prime Day, so I have enough stock to last me through Black Friday.”—Nicola Fumo, shopping writer and editor

Oqq 3-piece tank tops

Amazon

Buy on Amazon $19 $18

“I love a good tank top, and this three-pack is among the best. The quality is incredible and, with over 3,000 five-star ratings, customers agree with me. It’s the perfect basic because you can dress it up or use it for lounging around the apartment. I tend to use it as a layer under any button ups I wear and with a pair of jeans for a casual look.”—Melissa Chavez, Associate Director of Growth and Content Strategy

Amazon’s 16 Best Fall Dress Deals to Shop October Prime Day — Up to 60% Off

Benebone Wishbone durable dog chew

Amazon

Buy on Amazon $30 $17

“This Benebone bacon flavored chew toy is my dog’s absolute favorite! I’ve bought it at least five or six times over the past few years, and every time I open it out of the box, she wags her tail happily. It is very durable and long-lasting, and its design makes it easy to hold between the paws for the best chewing.”—Alex Nelson, Trade Editor and Strategist

Poppi carbonated prebotic soda, pack of 12 pieces

Amazon

Buy on Amazon $30 $21

“It pisses me off that there’s no discount for buying a 12-pack of these colas from Amazon compared to buying them individually — imagine a dozen Diet Cokes costing $30! That’s madness. I can’t buy these delicious, limited-ingredient probiotic drinks while they’re 30 percent off.”—Nicola Fumo, shopping writer and editor

FurZapper pet hair remover for laundry

Amazon

Buy on Amazon $13 $7

“I’ve come to terms with the fact that, as a golden retriever owner, I’ll just have to accept hair everywhere. But these little Fur Zappers definitely make a difference in getting a good amount of fur out of my clothes in the washer and dryer – I usually only use mine in the latter. They’re easy to pop right in and I can use them in so many ways by simply washing them with a little dish soap to get their stickiness back.”—Alex Nelson, Trade Editor and Strategist

Fearless tape for body and clothing

Amazon

Buy on Amazon $14 $13

“I bought this double-sided tape for the body and outfit that I wore with the dress last year and it’s a big change. I’ve since used it with a variety of tops and even skirts — once you tape this, your clothes won’t move. I’ve been taking this little box on trips and these little sticky tapes have helped some of my friends deal with loose fitting clothes. I grab the second box; I never want to run out of tape.”—Jennifer Maldonado, Senior Store Editor

Bagsmart travel jewelry organizer

Amazon

Buy on Amazon $20 $14

“After having to unravel another necklace while on vacation, I bought this travel jewelry organizer so I could carry all my jewelry without risk of damage. I love how flat and small it is, yet holds so much. It was easy to keep in my carry-on bag while I was on vacation recently in Portland and Spain; definitely one of my favorite purchases of the year.”—Melissa Chavez, Associate Director of Growth and Content Strategy
