Amazon Prime Day 2024: The 124 Best Deals To Shop Before It Ends

Must read

It’s day two of Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days (you may know it as October Prime Day 2024), which means you have less than 24 hours to shop hundreds of Black Friday-level discounts. To help you navigate the sales, our shopping editors have spent hours researching the best October Prime Day deals across every category. Today’s top offers include a self-emptying Roomba on sale for its lowest price ever, 35% off some Crest Whitestrips and a 2024 MacBook Air for under $900.

Prime Day deals can be deceiving—sometimes, the retailer will inflate the original price of an item to make an offer look better than it really is. So to help you find the discounts that are truly worth shopping, our deals editors have tracked the price history of every item on this list. We’ve separated them by category for easy browsing, and listed some of our best tips for shopping Prime Day like a pro.

A smart alarm clock is a great way to step up your morning routine and limit the use of your phone in bed.

Our Tips For Shopping October Prime Day 2024

Make A Holiday Shopping List

The holidays will be here before you know it, and Prime Day is the perfect opportunity to start stocking up on gifts. In many cases, the prices you’ll see during the sale are on par with what’s coming during Black Friday and Cyber Monday, so you may as well check a few items off your list a little early.

Don’t Wait For A Better Offer (In Most Cases)

It can be hard to know whether you should pick up a Prime Day deal or wait for a better offer to come along closer to the holidays. But in some cases, this could be your only shot to save. For example, last year the Dyson Supersonic was $100 off for October Prime Day, but didn’t go on sale again over Cyber Week. If you see a deal that’ll save you a substantial amount, claim it. Chances are, you’d only be saving an additional 5 to 10% at most by waiting for Black Friday to roll around.

Do Some Price History Research

As we mentioned above, not every Prime Day deal is as great as it first appears. Sometimes, items will be at their deal price for months on end, or Amazon will inflate the original price of a product to make a discount look steeper than it really is. If you’re shopping for items beyond the ones listed here (we’ve thoroughly researched all of these) be sure to use a price tracking site like CamelCamelCamel, or do some Googling to see what the products have sold for in the past.


What Is Prime Big Deal Days?

Prime Big Deal Days is Amazon’s annual fall sale for Prime members. The retail giant has run a second Prime Day-like event ahead of the holidays for the past two years, and it’s continuing the tradition in 2024. The sale is a great opportunity to get a head start on your holiday shopping—some of the offers are comparable to what you’d see during Black Friday or Cyber Monday.

How Many Times A Year Does Amazon Do Prime Days?

Amazon Prime Day used to be a once-a-year occurrence, but in recent years the retailer has begun hosting a second sale in the fall. Although Amazon doesn’t typically call the October event Prime Day, it’s essentially the same thing—a 48-hour event featuring hundreds of thousands of exclusive deals for Prime members.

When Is October Prime Day 2024?

Prime Big Deal Days, colloquially known as October Prime Day, started on Oct. 8 at 12:01 a.m. PDT and lasts through 11:59 p.m. PDT on Oct. 9.

Can Everyone Shop October Prime Day Deals?

No. Prime Big Deal Days is meant to be a special perk for Prime members. In order to shop the deals, you have to have a Prime membership. If you’re not a member already, here’s how to sign up for a 30-day free Amazon Prime trial—you’ll be eligible to shop the sale with that.

How Much Is An Amazon Prime Membership In 2024?

An Amazon Prime membership costs $14.99 per month. You have the option to pay an annual $139 fee, which brings the price down to about $11.58 per month. If you haven’t had an Amazon Prime membership for the past 12 months, you can also sign up for a free 30-day trial period first.
