Our wallets have recovered from July's Prime Day just in time - Amazon Prime Day is BACK! Our editors have been slugging coffee since the early morning hours to shop the sale and bring you the best deals. Of course, we've also been filling up our own carts along the way.

With this October Prime Day, the focus is on early holiday shopping. Our mom editors, like Julie and Marissa, know that tackling those holiday wishlists early in the season is key. Julie will be on the look out for trendy beauty products and Amazon fashion deals for her teen daughers. Marissa has been on the lookout for the seasons hottest toys for her little ones.


While gifts are first on our mind, that doesn't mean we won't be doing a little shopping for ourselves as well! Prime Day is Christina's favorite time to stock up on snacks, supplements, and beauty products that she routinely buys. Mike and Dana typically use Prime to score deals on higher-ticket items in the home and tech categories. Since we can't say no to a good deal, there are likely to be lots of impulse buys along the way.

As we predicted, Prime Day is starting off strong with deep discounts on electronics, fashion, home, and beauty. Shop our editors' carts from Day 1 below!
