All the Best Prime Day Deals still running for Amazon’s Early Access sale [Updated]
Update (10/12/22 3:13 am ET): The Amazon Prime Day Early Access event is still running strong into day two. Many of yesterday's best deals are still in stock and some have even dropped further in price. As always, we continue to update this list regularly throughout the day, sifting through to find and highlight the best deals cropping up so you don't have to.
Original post (10/11/22 3:00 am ET): Amazon's Prime Day sales event came and went this past July, as it has every year since 2015. The two-day shopping event is exclusively for Amazon Prime members and features thousands of products spanning all categories. This year, the company has plopped another sales event on the calendar from October 11 through 12 called the "Prime Early Access Sale." Meant to preempt the holiday shopping season, it's a smaller, albeit still massive discount event on thousands of items.
To be clear, Amazon remains a behemoth that has done (and continues to do) many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many things worthy of criticism, and Prime Day itself tends to be loaded up with a lot of junk offers and misleading "discounts" that don't make products significantly cheaper than they usually are. Much like Prime Day, these deals range widely in their value. But among the literal tens of thousands of sale items, there are some genuinely good deals on a lot of the items and categories we cover here at Ars.
