I’m a Shopping Editor, and This Is What You Need to Buy on Sale Before Amazon’s October Prime Day

As the shopping editor, I’ve spent weeks filling my cart in preparation for Amazon’s first Prime Big Deal Days — set to kick off on October 10th and 11th. Even though the big day isn’t here yet, there are already tons of discounts happening on Amazon, including a number of things I’m buying right now.

Today, I’m shopping for something in almost every category, including beauty gifts for the holidays, cozy fall fashion essentials, stainless steel pans, and luggage for the upcoming trip. Prices start at just $10 on my picks, with discounts up to a whopping 57 percent off. These deals are as good as what I expect to see in a few weeks, so grab them before they sell out – or worse, the deal expires.

Keep reading to check out everything I’m buying ahead of Amazon Prime Big Deal Days.

Dyson V11 Cordless Vacuum, $500 (Save $100)

Amazon

Buy on Amazon $600 $500

My old vacuum just doesn’t work anymore — and it’s about time I bought a Dyson. I’ve had my eye on the Dyson V11 cordless vacuum for a while now, and since it’s $100 off, I can’t wait any longer. The powerful vacuum cleaner offers three cleaning modes and a motorized detangling belt that works on both hard surfaces and carpets, and even converts to a handheld device. Once fully charged, it can run for up to 60 minutes at a time, giving me plenty of time to operate it in my apartment.

It should come as no surprise that customers love the vacuum, with five-star reviewers noting that it makes “jobs effortless” and adding that hair doesn’t get stuck in the roller. One user enthused, “Everyone will be fighting for their chance to use it.”

Fully Coated Stainless Steel Skillet, $120 (Save $10)

Amazon

Buy on Amazon $130 $120

I’m tired of throwing out non-stick pans twice a year, after the coating comes off. If treated properly, a stainless steel pan will last a lifetime, so I opt for the All-Clad stainless steel pan, which comes with a matching lid. The 12-inch pan is the perfect size for all my sauteing and frying needs, and the double riveted handles are designed to fit comfortably in my hand. Plus, it’s oven and broiler compatible up to 600 degrees Fahrenheit and any cooktop, including induction.

Amazon’s choice pan has garnered nearly 6,000 perfect ratings. Customers say it’s “used almost every day of the week,” and one wrote, “Once you get the hang of it, cooking with a stainless steel pan is a joy.”

Beats Solo3 Wireless On-Ear Headphones, $129 (Save 35%)

Amazon

Buy on Amazon $200 $129

I’m currently in need of an extra pair of headphones that aren’t just my beloved Apple AirPods Pro. I like the Beats Solo3 wireless headphones because they offer crisp sound, 40-hour battery life, ear cushions, and an easy-to-fold design — so they won’t take up too much room in my carry-on. The headphones can also be controlled from the side, allowing you to skip, pause and play songs and answer calls.

More than 55,000 Amazon customers have given the headphones a five-star rating, with users saying “the sound is amazing” and adding that they’re “perfect for travel.” Another reviewer wrote, “Noise cancellation is everything on these.”
