Not only are we counting down the days until Prime Day 2 (officially named Prime Early Access Sale) on Oct. 11 and 12, but we’re also keeping our eyes peeled for competing shopping events — like Target’s Deal Days and Walmart’s « Rollbacks and More » sale. In the mean time, there’s a lot of discounts already live and ready to shop as of Oct. 6.

If you’re looking for an Amazon device, you’re in luck. With all-time low prices on everything from the brand-new Echo Dot to the parent-favorite Fire HD 8 Kids, these are deals you’ll actually want to shop. Plus, save big on subscriptions, home products, and even a few games and toys ahead of the official start of these shopping events.

Here are the best deals of the day for Oct. 6 — happy shopping!

Best Amazon device deal

Why we like it

For just $30, you can snag a two-pack of Blink Mini cameras and equip your home with a couple extra sets of eyes. Because they’re wired, they’ll need to stay inside and nearby outlets, which can be a drag. But aside from that, they feature many of the same perks as other Blink cameras, like 1080p video quality, infrared night vision, motion sensors, Alexa compatibility, and two-way audio. With this pre-Prime Day 2 deal, you can get two cameras for less than the regular price of one (the lowest price we’ve seen to date).

Best Audible deal

Why we like it

Normally $14.95 per month, this limited-time deal gets you four months of Audible Premium Plus for just $5.95 per month instead. While it’s not as good as free, that’s still 60% in savings. For that low price, you’ll get bestselling audiobooks and new releases (one to keep each month), access to a growing collection of podcasts, audiobooks, and Audible Originals, plus 30% off all additional titles you want, as well as members-only sales. After your four months are up, the price will jump back up to $14.95, so be sure to cancel if you don’t want to be charged full price.

Best deal

Why we like it

While not quite its lowest price ever, this deal on the Dyson Ball Multi-Floor Origin will save you $160. Considering how dismal the Dyson deals are currently, this is definitely worth the hype. The Multi-Floor Origin Upright boasts high performance on all floor types, but is particularly impressive on carpet. It effortlessly glides thanks to Dyson’s signature ball axel and allegedly captures more microscopic dust than any other cyclone. From what we know about Dyson, plus the overwhelmingly positive reviews, it’s likely this upright vacuum lives up to expectations. If you want it for just $239.99, grab it ASAP — this deal is only valid for today, Oct. 6.
