Amazon Prime Day is tomorrow! No, this isn’s a drill: It officially kicks off at 3am ET on Tuesday. But, in true Amazon fashion, the retailer already has a ton of of Prime Day deals to shop right this very moment.
But here’s the thing: Not all deals offer real savings — shoppers always have to be wary of inflated MSRPs and products that have sat at their “discounted” price for months. That’s why we’re here to expertly guide you and help make every dollar count.
We’re tracking Prime Day deals live, including the best early Prime Day sales it makes sense to buy ahead of Prime Day’s official start because they’re as good as they’ll get, along with the deals we’re most excited for and are adding to cart tonight so all we have to do is press “buy now” tomorrow. From an Apple AirTag currently marked down to its all-time lowest price ($24) to a No. 1 bestselling Instant Pot (over 40% off at just $75), these are the most worthwhile of the bunch. Happy saving!
Best Prime Day deals on everyday essentials
Some of the smartest savings to be had are on everyday essentials — those items you restock throughout the year. Buy in bulk on Prime Day and you can save a bundle.
These No. 1 bestselling fabric-softening balls can be reused for over a thousand laundry loads. They’re made entirely of wool, and they will not only make your washables plush but also shorten their drying time in the process. What’s more, they’ll save you tons of money on not-so-eco-friendly dryer sheets.
At 40% off, consider them our favorite laundry hack.
If your less-than-glowing chompers could use some restoration, the folks at Crest say these bestselling strips can make teeth up to 20 shades whiter in just 22 days (that’s almost one shade per day!). According to the brand, you’re guaranteed to have a noticeably whiter smile, and with this kit, you’ll get some bonus express treatments for same-day results. Now say “cheese!”
This is just about as low as they ever go on sale for.

Quite simply, this is one of the softest toilet papers you can buy — if not the softest. You can snag this 6-pack for just $8 right now, giving you an impressive savings of $3. If you buy a bunch of these (or go the Subscribe and Save route), you’re talking some serious cash-saving. This paper also features the brand’s special “smooth tear” perforations to lower the risk that any paper will go to waste.
Unfortunately, your home isn’t going to clean itself, but you can at least get Mrs. Meyer to pitch in. Her all-purpose cleaning spray comes in the fan-favorite lemon verbena scent and will give your household dirt and grime a good talking-to (i.e., eliminate it). At 40%-plus off, this deal’s a steal.
You can never have too many garbage bags handy. These truly live up to their brand name, making it easy to schlep stuff from the garbage can to the curb without tears or spills. Convenient drawstring handles make it easy to grab and go, while a citrus scent keep things smelling fresh. This box contains 40 bags — enough to get you through even the trashiest of months.
This aesthetically pleasing tumbler will have you going, “Stanley who?” with its leakproof lid, convenient carrying handle and easy-sip straw. Plus, it keeps drinks cold for hours, and this 24-ounce size fits in most cup holders.
At $19, it’s more affordable than most big-name water bottles on the market, and this is one of the best prices we’ve seen it marked down to.

Using a filtered pitcher can help prevent you from drinking water that’s laden with impurities. This popular, BPA-free Brita reduces copper, cadmium and mercury levels for better-tasting H2O, in addition to minimizing the taste and odor from chorine (no thanks). Its 6-cup capacity is on the smaller size, meaning it won’t take up much room in your fridge, and it’ll alert you when it’s time to swap out the filter.
At nearly 40% off, this is as good a price as we’ve seen.

These No. 1 bestselling containers are “clearly” doing something right if tens of thousands of shoppers gave them a perfect five-star rating. In addition to helping cut down on food waste, these bins allow you to group your food products and beverages by category for a more cohesive, easy-to-navigate fridge. Juice boxes, veggies, fruits, sauces, dressings — each can have its own designated space. Plus, if something happens to spill, it’ll be contained in the bin, which is much easier to clean than an entire sticky fridge shelf.
This is the lowest price we’ve ever seen, so grab a few sets for your pantry and under your sinks too.

JoyJolt Borosilicate Glass Jars: I’m in the process of removing as much plastic from my kitchen as possible and have been on the hunt for glass food storage containers. This collection — which Yahoo editors named one of the best storage containers — stands out from similar sets because it doesn’t come with plastic lids, but aesthetically pleasing bamboo lids. It’s currently about 20% off, but I’ve seen it dip as much as $9 less than its current price. Fingers crossed!

Ring Video Doorbell: I’m moving into my very first house this summer and as exciting as it is, I’m a little scared. I’ve never not lived in an apartment with lots of other people close by, so the idea of needing security is top of mind for me. I’m planning to have Ring video doorbells on all the doors at the new house, but at $100 a pop that’s a pricey investment. They’ve been hovering around half off ahead of Prime Day, but I’m hoping this drops even further so I can sleep with peace of mind at my new place.

Best Prime Day beauty deals
In case the idea of applying a snail secretion to your skin has never crossed your mind, take it from thousands of Amazon shoppers — it’s effective! This now-iconic serum has amassed an enormous following, thanks to its lightweight, refreshing feel and hydrating, rejuvenating effects.
Snail mucin not only helps boost collagen and elastin for a firmer look and feel, but it can also gently exfoliate for a smoother texture while also soothing the skin. Reviewers reported noticing everything from a brighter complexion to a reduction in the appearance of fine lines and dark spots.
At over 50% off, it’s currently within a dollar of its best price of the year.
Check out our Beauty Editor’s full CosRx Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence review for more.
The bottom line about skin care: If you have an aging face and want to appear like you have a, well, less-aging face, you need retinol. And if you’re new to the retinol game or have dry skin, CeraVe’s formula is an excellent place to start.
It contains just a 0.3% concentration, which means it will be gentler and less drying than higher-potency products. It’s also filled with skin-calming agents like niacinamide and moisturizing hyaluronic acid. Best of all, right now it’s inexpensive enough to try without the guilt of a major skin-care investment.
This highly versatile hair styler doesn’t go on sale often, so even though this isn’t the best price we’ve seen it for, we’ll take the $125 discount.
One Yahoo staffer wrote, “As far as accessories go, let’s just say the number of attachments this thing comes with would put your boss’ emails to shame. It includes not one, but two curling barrels (1.2-inch and 1.6-inch), a firm smoothing brush, a soft smoothing brush, a round volumizing brush, a smoothing dryer and a filter cleaning brush. … Thanks to the intelligent heat control, which tracks the airflow temperature 40 times per second to keep the device from overheating, the heat also felt more diffused, even on the highest setting. Probably a lot less harsh on my frizzled ends! That said, it was still powerful enough to dry my hair in a fraction of the time it takes with a blow dryer (there’s that 13-blade Dyson digital motor for ya!).”

In the market for a grease-free sunscreen? This fragrance-free formula is a good bet. In addition to 5,000+ Amazon shoppers who give it a five-star rating, actress Jennifer Garner gives the moisturizer her seal of approval.
Garner, 52, told Prevention that she “loves” the lotion and how it leaves her skin “feeling all dewy and great.” Jennifer elaborated, “I’m super into this Hydro Boost with SPF 50,” she said. “That’s golden — the fact that you can get your hyaluronic acid and your SPF 50 in one little bad boy — that’s very good.”
This multiuse hair tool works like the Dyson Airwrap — only at a fraction of the cost. It comes with three brush heads and a blow-dryer attachment to suit all hair types, whether you want to smooth and straighten or add curl and waves. Now you’ll be able to give yourself a professional-level blowout while saving 75% — you’re looking at one of the lowest prices we’ve seen.
There are plenty of early Prime Day deals for thinning hair going on now too.

If you’ve been holding out for an on-sale Vitamix, this model is currently marked down to the best price we’re seeing online — it’s $100 off. The 64-ounce container can hold large batches of hot soup and refreshing smoothies, while the brand’s best-in-class blades break down ice and frozen ingredients like a champ.
Enjoying a warm breakfast on a busy morning has never been so easy, thanks to this contraption that’ll make a bacon, egg and cheese (or two) without you having to wait at the drive-through. Just fill each tray with your bread, eggs, cheese and any toppings you’d like, and it’ll cook everything so that it’s nice and melty by the time you’ve gotten dressed.
We haven’t seen it on sale for this low since 2021, and it hasn’t dipped lower since 2020, making this one of the best early Prime Day kitchen deals so far.

At 56% off, the slice is right when it comes to this sleek knife set. If you could use one less thing to remember, go ahead and cross “sharpen knives” off your to-do list, because this savvy set will do it automatically. These knives come housed in an attractive wooden block with slots that hone each blade every time you use them.
The set includes an 8-inch chef’s knife, 6-inch utility knife, 5-inch santoku knife, 3.5-inch paring knife, kitchen shears and the aforementioned block. The triple-riveted handle is contoured to feel comfortable in your hand, allowing you to chop more confidently, and each tip is labeled so you’ll know which knife you’re reaching for.

Says one Yahoo staffer: “I used to bake for a living, and my trusty KitchenAid stand mixer is my go-to appliance. Cake batters, cookie doughs, breads, frostings, meringues — you name it, I’ve probably made it using this mighty machine. Unlike flimsier mixers, this one is built to last (there’s a reason KitchenAids are often passed down from one generation to the next).”
At 4.5 quarts, it can hold enough dough to make up to eight dozen cookies at a time, though it won’t take up much room in your kitchen. Oh, and you’ll get a beater, dough hook and whisk attachments for making practically any baked good under the sun. It’s only dipped lower than its current sale price once this year, and not by very much.
An air fryer is just the ticket when you want a hot meal without turning on the oven. This top-rated model heats up quickly and holds up to 2.5 pounds of fries or 14 wings at a time. Plus, it can be used to dehydrate food, proof bread and even bake desserts. We’ve never seen it on sale for as low as this before.

The waterproof material is also easy to wipe clean, and this price is just about as low as it gets.

Tens of thousands of Amazon shoppers — and one Yahoo staffer — swear by this little lifesaver.
Our deals editor says, “At under half a pound and 5 inches wide, the Kidde makes a smart travel mate, but it’s ideal for at-home use as well. It calls for two AA batteries (included) and can be mounted to a wall or placed on a table or other flat surface. … This compact carbon monoxide detector comes with a 10-year limited manufacturer warranty, but you’ll want to make sure the batteries are always in working order. (Speaking of batteries: Because it doesn’t plug into an outlet, it’ll keep working during power outages.)”
This No. 1 bestseller is just two bucks more than its lowest price of the year, and over 10,000 were purchased in the past month.
Mugginess just might be the bane of summer, but this No. 1 bestselling appliance can dehumidify up to 800 square feet. It has a quiet night mode so as not to disturb your sleep, and you can choose from seven colored light options for a little illumination.

When is Amazon Prime Day 2024?
Amazon released the official dates of their Prime Day sales event for 2024, and here’s the skinny: This year’s summer Prime Day spectacular will begin tomorrow, Tuesday, July 16, and run through Wednesday, July 17. This is a touch later in the month than expected — last year’s summer Prime Day ran from Tuesday, July 11, to Wednesday, July 12. If you want to get super granular, we have those details too: The event officially begins at 3 a.m. EST, and will run a full 48 hours.
What day is Prime Day for Amazon in 2024?
Amazon Prime Day is Tuesday, July 16 and Wednesday, July 17.
Is Prime Day 2 times a year?
Prime Day usually takes place in July, and in 2023 Amazon officially added an October Prime Day. We will wait and see if there’s an October Prime day again in 2024.
How much is Amazon Prime in 2024?
There are two options when it comes to signing up for an Amazon Prime membership. You can pay monthly at $14.99 per month or annually at $139 per year. You can also try Prime free for 30 days. Note that you’ll be charged automatically at the end of the trial period unless you cancel. If you’re a college student, you can try Prime free for six months and then pay $7.49 per month after your trial ends.There’s also a $6.99 per month Prime Access option available for those who receive SNAP benefits, Medicaid or other qualifying government assistance. Read more about Amazon Prime membership and its benefits.
What is Amazon Prime Day?
Amazon Prime Day, a tradition that the retailer launched in July 2015, is a massive site-wide savings event exclusive only to Amazon Prime subscribers. If you’re not yet a member, don’t sweat it — you can sign up for your free 30-day trial here. (And by the way, those without Prime still get free shipping on orders of $25 or more all year ’round.) Not ready to join the club yet? Well, you can sign up for Amazon Prime at any time, including during PD itself. Along with the exclusive savings, you’ll also be able to take advantage of benefits like free shipping.
What will be on sale for Amazon Prime Day 2024?
Information on specific markdowns is soon to come, but we already have a tantalizing taste of the deals in store at Amazon Prime Day 2024. They include sweet savings on timely categories like warm-weather fashion finds, outdoor must-haves, and classics like electronics and kitchenware. Plus, it’s almost guaranteed that the retailer will be offering big deals on their house-brand products, like Kindle, Fire TV, Echo, Ring and more.
Like last year’s Prime Days, we’re expecting mega markdowns on big brands like Apple, Ninja and Samsung, along with discounts on Yahoo reader favorites and highly reviewed bestsellers. Unlike Black Friday, where holiday shopping reigns supreme, Prime Day is particularly well-timed for checking a host of items off your own list, including travel necessities, summer-entertaining supplies and upgrades for the home, office and even your beauty routine.
How do I find the best Amazon Prime Day deals?
Stick with us here at Yahoo to stay apprised of all the emerging deals for Amazon Prime Day 2024. We’ll have category experts on deck to keep you up-to-date on all the marked-down must-haves.

Will other retailers have sales?
