Prime Big Deal Days is so close we can almost taste it! Although Amazon's epic October savings event doesn't begin until tomorrow, that doesn't mean we can't start taking advantage of the deals now.
But first things first: if you're not a Prime member, you're going to want to sign up ASAP. This will unlock deals on thousands of items during the two-day sales event and it will also guarantee faster shipping, which is a huge plus.
October Prime Day is also the unofficial kickoff to the holiday season, so if you're like me, you'll use this sale as the perfect opportunity to check everyone off your shopping list early. Some great gifts include YETI cups and coolers starting at just $10. You can also grab the latest and greatest LEGO sets from just $8.
Amazon devices are already boasting all-time low prices ahead of the sale. For instance, Blink security cameras and doorbell are starting at just $19, while you can grab Fire TV sticks from $17. If you're in the market for a new e-reader, I recommend the Kindle Scribe for $100 off.
If you're ready to get a head start on your Prime Big Deal Days shopping, you've come to the right place. I'll be updating this page with all the best early deals that are worth your time and money.
I'm Olivia Halevy, a deals writer for Tom's Guide. Whether you're shopping for new headphones or a new Kindle this Prime Day, on this live blog I'm handpicking the best deals on hot ticket items that the Tom's Guide staff has reviewed and recommends. I'll help you find the deals worth your time and money by highlighting my top picks from Amazon.

I just shared a deal on the excellent-value Hisense U8QG for $797. But if you're looking for the best bang for your buck below $500, check out this TCL model.
