Prime Day anticipation is real. We’ve been waiting months for Amazon’s annual two-day sale for Prime members, and thankfully the wait is nearly over. Though Prime Day doesn’t officially begin until October 13, a bevy of early discounts are now available at Amazon — and they might not last for much longer. To help on your search for savings, we’re gathering 15 of the best Prime Day deals you need to see before the big sale even begins.

Most of the offers you’ll see during the Prime Day sale are exclusively available to Amazon Prime members. It’s finally time to make that membership pay off, but if you’re not a member yet, you can start a free 30-day trial to gain access instantly as well as score free two-day shipping on your Amazon orders and more.

Now that Amazon Prime Day is almost here, tons of Prime Day deals are going live in advance of the big day. One of those offers could save you $60 on the certified refurbished Ring Alarm 5-piece home security system. This model was already discounted due to being refurbished, but thanks to the additional savings, Amazon Prime members can grab the kit today on sale for $99.99. That’s $100 off the regular cost of a new 5-piece kit as well as one of the best deals to ever reach this set.

There’s no reason to worry about buying this refurbished product either. Amazon ensures they’re all tested and inspected to ensure they work and look like new. You’ll even score a one-year warranty with the purchase.

As with all Prime Day deals, you’ll need a Prime membership if you’re hoping to snag this discount. You can start a free 30-day trial to score access to the sale as well as free two-day shipping on your Amazon orders and more.

While Amazon’s two-day Prime Day sale doesn’t officially begin until October 13, plenty of early Prime Day deals have already gone live — some of which don’t even require a Prime membership yet. On Prime Day, all of Amazon’s best deals will only be available to Amazon Prime members which means now is the best time to shop if you’re not a member. There’s no telling whether these deals will live on through Prime Day, so it’s time to shop now if you see any offers you’re interested in.

Of course, there’s a way you can shop on Prime Day without paying for a Prime membership; start a free 30-day trial of Amazon Prime and you’ll be able to buy anything on sale during Prime Day at its ‘Prime Exclusive’ price, as well as score free two-day shipping on your orders and all the rest of the perks that come with being a member of Amazon Prime.

With a second shortage on toilet paper looking likely, it’s time to think about stocking up again and making sure your family has enough available to use for at least a couple of months. No one wants to run out and find their local store shelves empty too, after all.

Luckily, right now Amazon has plenty of toilet paper in stock, some of which is even available at a slight discount! Plus, with Prime Day deals and Black Friday right around the corner, we may be seeing even more offers pop up soon. If you can’t wait until then, we’ve already found some great offers for you below.

Prime Day doesn’t go live until October 13 and 14, but until then, we’re featuring some great deals on toilet paper if you can’t wait for the big sale. You also might want to prepare by making sure your Amazon Prime membership is active.

Prime Day and Black Friday are the two biggest shopping events of the year, though with them happening just a few weeks apart in 2020, knowing when to finally pull the trigger on a big purchase is more difficult than ever. Of course, when it comes to holiday shopping, sooner is always better than later. More people than ever before will be shopping online for gifts this year, and not just during Prime Day and Black Friday either.

In recent years, we’ve seen most Black Friday offers available online. It’s likely that you won’t need to shop in-store for nearly any deals as more offers than ever before will be available to purchase at home using your phone or computer. With so many deals and so many people shopping online, it’s only a matter of time until the shipping delays and stock backorders begin.

With Prime Day now sitting so close to Black Friday on the calendar, those of us on a limited budget will have to decide on whether to skip Prime Day and wait for a better deal on Black…

With Amazon Prime Day just around the corner, other retailers are doing even more to keep your attention over the next two weeks. Kohl’s is having its own 4-day special event dubbed Wow Week deals that starts today. With deals on everything from tech and toys to clothing, home, kitchen, and more, it’s safe to say it’s officially time to start shopping for the holiday season. The special Wow Week deals run through October 8 and can even score you free Kohl’s cash to use during a future purchase. Kohl’s Wow Week continues on through October 18.

Kohl’s shoppers know the best way to save at Kohl’s is by collecting all the Kohl’s Cash you can. Only on October 5, Kohl’s is offering $15 Kohl’s Cash for every $50 you spend there. Meanwhile, during the rest of the sale, you’ll earn $10 Kohl’s Cash for every $50 spent. That creates some fantastic deals, like this Xbox One S bundle that now not only comes with an Xbox console, two controllers, and Xbox Game Pass Ultimate but also $120 in Kohl’…

Every Target shopper needs to sign up for Target Circle immediately. The old days of paper coupons are gone, and now Target has an app full of discounts that are easy to snag while you’re in the store! Target Circle offers are available to use and redeem online at Target’s website as well. From discounts on groceries to deals on entertainment and home essentials, overlooking these offers is like seeing cash on the ground and walking past it.

Right now, one of the best Target Circle offers can save you 10% on select electronics. While there are a number of exclusions which you can’t use the discount on, one popular product that you could save 10% on today is the all-new Oculus Quest 2. This all-in-one virtual reality headset is available to pre-order at its regular price of $299, though redeeming Target Circle’s offer before checking out will drop its price down to $269.10. Make sure to add the offer before checking out or you won’t receive the 10% discount.

With all the devices we have these days, it becomes difficult to keep everything charged when you have just one cable or USB wall charger available. That’s why tech like the Mophie Dual Wireless Charger is so handy. It has two spots to wirelessly charge any Qi-enabled devices you may own, along with a built-in USB-A port to power up a third device simultaneously.

Apple normally sells this charger in its store for $70, though right now you can pick one up on sale at Daily Steals in refurbished condition for only $15.99 when you use promo code FUTRMOPH during checkout. That saves you nearly $55 off its cost, and even without the coupon it’s on sale for $25 which is a much more enticing price than it regularly costs.

These chargers are all manufacturer refurbished, meaning Mophie has tested and inspected each one to enure it’s in proper working condition and that it’s like new. You’ll even receive a one-year warranty with the purchase as well as free U.S. shipping.

After months of being pushed back and delayed, Prime Day is finally less than two weeks away. This major two-day shopping event is held by Amazon annually, generally in July, as a chance for Prime members to score low prices worthy of Black Friday before November even hits. With this year’s Prime Day happening so close to Black Friday, we’re expecting even better deals than we’ve seen in the past. To kick off the big event, Amazon has a number of great deals that are already live — including several offers which can earn you up to $160 to use during Prime Day 2020!

As with all Prime Day deals, you’ll need to be an Amazon Prime member if you’re hoping to take advantage of any of these offers. If you’ve never started a free 30-day trial before, now’s really the perfect opportunity. Your trial membership grants you access to all of Prime’s perks, including free two-day shipping, the Prime Video streaming service, and all of Prime’s exclusive members-only discounts. That includes all th…
